Mine was a disaster. For some reason, I had no clue that a standard knot would be going around the string twice, so I would make a half-knot and move on to the next step. And I added three pearl beads in the middle for no particular reason.It was a disaster, but I’ve kept it as a fond memory 😂 |

I didnt realize you did the knotting part twice. I did half notes and it turned out all curly and I had no idea why.

mine was at summer camp - they taught us chinese staircases and my knots were so spaced out that you could see the middle strings through the knots and there was no real visible "staircase" lol. I distinctly remember it was pastel orange and blue.

@SheWolf430 @arf820 oh yeah! I made my knots once, not twice with a zipper bracelet. But my FIRST on was when my friend taught me. i just kept twisting the strings. 😂

MY first one was also a disaster. I made a candy stripe, and since it's all forward knots it kept curling up, and then I ran out of string, it was a nightmare!

I tried a small bracelet that was supposed to have hearts on it, it was pink and white. I messed up the strings because I still hadn't known what the knots meant. I also didn't know you had to knot them twice. It was a tangled mess when I finished it and I was super disappointed.

My first ever bracelet was a cheveron, and it actually looks pretty good bc this girl at summer camp made half of it and I knotted the other half. My first bracelet following a pattern was the wave bracelet, and that one was a disaster...I didn’t know forward backward knots or backward forward knots so I would just do forward or backward knots for them. It looks so bad!!

My first was a candy stripe. I used super thick cotton yarn. Ya know how the back of a good bracelet you can see wrong colors popping through well the front had colors popping through too. It was like nine strands and at the time I was very proud of it. Now when I see it I low key want to throw it away. Lol 😂! Now I use embroidery thread and my bracelets look 1 million x better.

I don't remember my first bracelet but the earliest one I think I own is a burgundy and black 8-string chevron. That thing is super stretchy with a button hole loop and button clasp. It's not bad but still really ugly to the point where I would NEVER wear it out. It's on my computer as I type and MAN was it super lumpy and crooked too.

My first bracelet was a candy stripes pattern, and it was a DISASTER! First, I underestimated how much string I needed. If I remember correctly the strings were about 30cm long. As i was making it I kept mixing up the knots so it looked like someone put a chevron and a candy stripes in a blender took it out and called it a success. I would say I'm doing much better.

My first bracelet was a candy stripe and looked terrible during the first half and it started looking better in the second half so it was good and bad

My very first bracelet was braided leaf and it actually wasn't too bad, it started a bit rough but the end is pretty good. However, I didn't know how much string to cut so it was way to short and I never bothered finishing it. I still have the half finished bracket. It was red, black, and white. The first one that I finished was a half and half chevron that is actually not that bad, I wear it sometimes, the only thing was that I didn't know how to close the bracelet, so I tied it in a loop that is too big for my wrist, so I always have to do some intense knots to get it to stay on 😂😂😂

My first bracelet was the braided stitch. It was pretty bad. It had lots of holes in it, it was all curled up, and I didn’t make a loop or ties.

My first bracelet was horrendous! I was at camp and someone had left a half-complete candy stripe bracelet in my cabin, so I tried to finish it. I only did one knot on each string and it completely fell apart! I got really mad and gave up.

My first bracelet was a yellow, orange, green, and teal candy stripe. After that I jumped straight in and started a 10 string pattern off friendshipbracelets.net. It took me like 12 hours to finish but it’s still one of my favorites and I still wear it.

I really can't remember my first braclet because I started when I was younger. But my real braclet journey started with #18 I made it with a button for closing. I kept it and even though nowadays I make much neater braclet I would still wear it.

My first bracelet was a chevron! I thought I would start easy but then I thought I was ready to try a really hard pattern 😂 I was definitely not ready then
