Hello!I am very very rusty on making bracelets, having last made any type of friendship bracelet maybe 35 years ago. I have a photo I’d like to turn into a pattern to make as either a bracelet or a necklace. I tried using the bracelet creator image to alpha and it didn’t turn out correctly. Is there anyone out there who could maybe help me out with a pattern? I might be able to muddle through making it on my own if I have a proper pattern and way to make the knots. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you! |

Hi, the thing with "alpha from image" is that the pattern will almost never turn out perfect. You almost always need to tweak it for it to become acceptable.Here are some tutorials: https://www.braceletbook.com/tutorials/120_making-better-outlines-for-alpha-patterns/ https://www.braceletbook.com/tutorials/74_how-to-tweak-patterns/ I recommend also playing around with size, amount of colours, preserve hard edges and trim image to see which gives the best results. If you have a link to the image or could temporarily set it as your profile, someone else might be willing to design the pattern for you. |
