Question

What can I do if I don't have a hook to weave the bracelet?

Community Answer

You can try using a fork or a toothpick. The fork is better, because it's more curved than the toothpick.

Question

How can I make it without pegs?

Community Answer

You can’t, unfortunately. This bracelet is too intricate, and you use all the pegs to make it. You can make fishtail bracelets without pegs though!

Question

How do you loop the bands together in the end?

Linnie

Top Answerer

Loop the final bands on the left and right sides to the middle peg. Then, take another band and slide it through the the middle peg using your hook. Make your extension, attach the bracelet to the end, loop the bands forward, and clip them together.
