I've always wanted long nails so I could just easily undo incorrect knots, but I always need a tool to do the trick for me. I usually use push pins or in worst case scenarios, a pencil 🤮 . What do you use?

I take my nails and I don't think they have to be super long. My trick is to turn the bracelet around so I see the back. It's a lot easier to undo the knots from the bracelet.

I use a needle or safety pin for quick u tying or my nail if I don’t have anything else. Safety pins are easy to carry around though! 🙂

I tend to use toothpicks and sometimes needles if the knot was really tight!

I use a seam ripper - it has a smooth edge and tip so it doesn't fray/break the strings.

Surprisingly earrings work really well because they get the knot out without pulling the targeted string al apart !

I use a needle and I actually flip the bracelet over because it’s easier to get it undone from the back. You just need to be cautious with the needle because sometimes the string will fray

I use my nails or a safety pin to help get the knots out that I messed up on

I have a safety pin that I use. I know pretty tightly so its the only way I can get them undone.

Needles and safely pins have worked well for me. I’ve also used tweezers, but they are a bit bulky

I like to use a safety pin or a straight pin that some people use for sewing!

i just use a safety pin because my knots are reallly tight. you just undo the first part of the knot, and then the second part! just be careful as to not split the thread and you’ll be good!

I don’t use a certain tool or my nail. If I mess up a knot, say, red over black, then I pull on the black string so it replaces the second half of the red knot. This way, it’s looser and I can easily pull it out. I make mistakes a lot so I eventually figured this trick out. 🙂
