Hey fellow knotters!How do you guys explain bracelet making to your friends? I get asked all the time about what it is and always have a hard time explaining, I usually say “well it’s kind of like macrame” or “it’s like a mosaic of colored string that you knot in rows.” But my explanations aren’t ever really specific enough for then to catch the idea. I’d love to hear how you guys describe it. 🙃 |

I rarely need to explain it, since most people I meet are usually familiar with at least the basic candystripe, but if I had to describe it, I would describe it as a knotted bracelet made from embroidery floss. By making different combinations of knots, you can create different designs.

Technically, the art of knotting friendship bracelets is a type of macramé.Although I usually explain it just as bracelets made entirely with knots to form a specific pattern. |

I usually just say it’s a knotted bracelet, plain and simple. You make a bunch of knots by tying a collection of embroidery flosses to make a bracelet/pattern.

Apart from ‘it’s a kind of micro macrame”, I also describe it as a craft that is kinda like crocheting/knitting, but with knots (instead of loops) with no needles/hooks required.

I tell them that’s it’s a bracelet made of strings tied together and I explain alphas by saying “it’s basically pixel art with string”
