Q&A for How to Make a String Bracelet

Of course. All string will work, as long as it is durable and will fit through the bead holes.

It is possible to use 3 strings and create the knotted designs from the article. The thickness of the string will produce the color pattern. Colors will not be clear if the string is too thin; it will also increase the time to complete the design. Test out a small segment first to determine the desired result.

Both the beginning and the end require a loop around the main body of the bracelet. This loop has to be wide enough to slide. It is the equivalent of your right hand circling your left wrist and the left hand circling the right wrist, your wrists representing the bracelet body.

Try to find the place where you want the beads to be inserted and stop there. Then knot off. Add the letter beads. After your letter beads have been added, knot off again. Then continue with the pattern. Or, if you don't want to risk it, try finding beads that are big enough to go over the existing beads.
