Q&A for How to Make a Candy Stripe Friendship Bracelet

Yes. You basically just do the same thing, but with ten strings. I saw someone on YouTube do one with 21 strings!

All you have to do is make a normal knot, just like you would with any other bracelet. To make the knot, take your string, wrap it once around your finger, and then pull the remaining string through the hole tightly. (Make sure the knot doesn't go onto the bracelet pattern.)

Cross the main string over it so there is a little hole, then you put it through the hole and pull to the left.

Yes. You can have two threads of each color.

It honestly depends on how tight your knots are. If you tie looser, you will have to use more. If you tie tighter, you can fit more detail with less string.

No, it is not supposed to twist. If you see that it twists, you did it wrong. You can prevent it from twisting by making sure that you're doing it right, and that your bracelet will not wiggle while you're doing the knots.

The candy stripe should show after you tie 3 rows of knots. You can restart or undo the knots if the stripe is not showing.

It is normal for a candy stripe bracelet to twist. As you finish the bracelet and wear it, it will become flat.

Use a piece of cardboard or cardstock and cut slits for where your thread is supposed to go. It normally does not twist when you do that. You also have to be careful when doing it. If you are watching TV show while doing it, pay attention.

Unknot it, use a toothpick to help, and start over! If it still doesn't show, unknot it again.
