I love making bracelets, but I find myself getting bored so quickly, and it takes me absolutely forever to finish. I have so many unfinished bracelets that I just got bored of and never finished, and I really want to break that habit. I tried making smaller patterns that weren’t as complex to help, but I still find myself losing interest after about 30 mins of working on it. Any tips?

Are you doing anything while knotting? I find it really helpful to watch something like a series, film, etc. What also helped me a lot was to just take a break from knotting overall for a while. It was hard at first because I missed it but I did other things in the meantime. I just took knotting back up a few weeks ago and I am more motivated than ever 😄 |

I don't know if this works for anyone else, but I like to set super small goal for myself, like: "I'm going to do one repeat of this pattern and then take a break" and then once I reach that super tiny goal I find that I can usually keep going, and it kinda tricks my brain into thinking I'm being really productive and that motivates me.

I have a few tips:Sell a few bracelets to your friends Do bracelets on the go listen to musin, podcasts, etc while knotting Try segment knotting, it makes braclets go much faster Design your own bracelets and make those Upload your photos to braceletbook Tell yourself you can only be working on (just as an example) 5 projects at a time Hope that helps! |

Definitely listen or do something while making. Do a pattern you're interested in that's not too huge. I just got back into making bracelets and keychains a few weeks ago after not doing it for months. So if u take breaks tbats also totally fine. And also giving them away/selling them or making something for someone helps usually.

this is kinda late but I enjoy watching movies/Netflix shows while I knot. It also helps if I’m in a car for a while. But I’ve noticed that I personally get less bored with longer patterns. 🤍🤍🤍

^ agreed. I put on some music or YouTube podcasts/stories to listen to and it goes by faster. Also maybe challenges? If you’re interested in the rewards or just want some help giving yourself a timeline/deadline
