If the knot at the beginning of your bracelet is off-center most of the time,lay the strings in order on a piece of scotch tape with no room in between. Tape your bracelet to a table and begin it. Once finished or at a comfortable stopping point (at least 10 knots in), take the tape off the bracelet and then tie the beginning knot.

If the strings are not laying flat or are not anchored well maybe do a triangle start to position the strings in the correct space .

I want to start my bracelet off with a loop but I don’t have an even amount of colors. Should i just make a loop and cut the strings that there are only one of? Please leave suggestions

@lucyleach i suppose you can do that but there is an actual technique to make a loop with an uneven amount of colors that masha knots made a tutorial on. it’s quite a difficult and tedious process but it is definitely doable and it looks very nice when finished!
