Am I the only one that doesn't see or hear the size of the strings? O.O sorry if I missed it but I watched the start like 10 times! Thank you so much for all of this! Namasté
For all friendship bracelets you generally want your strings to be the length from fingertip to fingertip (when arms are held straight out to either side), also called a “wingspan”. Remember to double that if you plan to make a loop start, since you’ll be folding the strings in half. Sorry I didn’t mention that in the video, I think I just said “the usual length” or something like that.
@@patternandcraft3908I’ve never heard of doing that! Thank you so much!
Yes! Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Macrame with this kind of string. Also been hunting for an adult version of friendship bracelets. 😃 absolutely subscribed
I saw your post of this on Instagram and wanted to make it but I've never found it until now and I'm so, so happy!! Amazing video, very helpful
That's neat how you start your loop with a lark head's knot. Love this pattern. Good job.
I’ve been Waiting this pattern for days 👀 i love it and i cant wait to make it ❤️
How long are the strings?
wow you are so creative! I love the pattern. thanks for the video you explain it very well! I will try it.
What a wonderful tutorial, thank you so much. First time I have seen such great expo, on pattern, one I will try. Many thanks
Excellent Tutorial !!! Thank you so much!!!!
Супер! Очень красивые браслеты! Браво мастеру! 👏👏👏

this seems so much easier than it looks!! thank you for sharing this, i cant wait to try it 😃
blue boy yeah the only hard part is making the bottom of the diamonds because they want to warp, but you can just adjust it after 🙂
Very beautiful bracelet 👏👏👏Thanks for sharing🌺🥰
I love it!
Thank you! This was wonderful!
Exelent!👏👏👏
Thank you for posting this tutorial. I made two bracelets yesterday. Still having a little trouble with the “tricky step “ but gorgeous. The back is almost as good as front.
Thank you! I love it! :D
Thanks !!! Wonderful!!!!. My best wishes for you!
Thank you so much for this!
This pattern is soooooo gorgeous! Beutiful work 😍
Beautiful 😅
Watched the entire video from the start to the end! Really appreciate that you included how to make the loop, triangle start/end, and finally the ties! Courtney, you are the best! 😍
for my moms birthday or mother’s day i’m going to make her this bracelet. she loves simple colored bracelets, i’m also good at making friendship bracelets so this seems easy to me .
Браслет классный,но непонятно, сколько взять метров нитей. Благодарю.
Woooooow! *starry eyed*
I used to use duct tape, but now I switched to a clipboard, amazing tutorial!!!
Wow ..thank u
This is an incredible tutorial- so thorough. Thank you for including everything start to finish. I haven’t seen this type of weave in a bracelet before.
You prolly dont give a shit but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Avery Tobias Instablaster :)
@Musa Drew Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Musa Drew It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
@Avery Tobias happy to help xD
What is the length of the regular length string? in cm please. Thank you so much!
Beautiful bracelet, Courtney! I'm not a beginner but am having difficulty with the side chains below the diamond portion. Did you say to make x number of FW (forward) knots, one below the other? Just checking bc mine don't sit right. Will keep practicing but hope you may be able to help in case I misunderstood the instructions. Thanks!
*Also asking bc looking at your hands/strings didn't help... Out of frame.
Courtney, you know how people do these poms on bookmarks?
Beautiful.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍..can tell which cord is used for it
are use a close pin help me hold all that’s string bungle and that separates strings hanging up left and right side
Desde Cali Colombia con amor te envío un cordial saludo okey gracias por tu clase gracias por tu ayuda apenas te veo y seguiré tus clases okey
What kind of string did you use?
how do you do the ending on this bracelet? what is the style/technique called?
Hi! How many inches approximately is each string? How many strings total? Thank you!
I believe about 1 meter for strings, 2 meters if you plan to do a loop start and fold the strings in half. Hard to say because everyone’s wrist size is different so that may be too little or too much, but it’s usually a good average.
Thank you for everything salute 🫡 🙏
Hola cuando subes mas videos de pulseras. L
Gyönyörű a karkötő, de nagy kár hogy magát a csomó technikáját nem láthatjuk mert az a kamera látószögén kívül esik :(
so beautiful - can i ask what is the string that you are using - the color and sheen are just gorgeous
Why no answer?!?! I’m going nuts trying to figure out if this is just embroidery thread!! 😢😩
Love this bracelet, can't wait to make it. Could you please let me know how long each of the 11 strings should be. Thanks!
A double wingspan
@@patternandcraft3908 what is that?
@@PattySmith1313 i think it means 2 arms spread wide for the length!!!
Dear Courtney, Many thanks from France for this gorgeous bracelet.
Could you, please, tell us about the thread size for a regular 16 cm bracelet, including loop ans ties ?
Thanks you. I wish you all the best.
Flo.
I think 300 cm might work? Sorry I’m used to making bracelets that are about 15 cm and use my arm length to measure not cm (or inches for me actually). Try a double wingspan minus a little bit, that’s how much I would use but I know that’s not very specific. Or if you’re already an experienced bracelet maker just cut the length of string you would usually use for any friendship bracelet with loop start and ties.
hi lovely design! im not a beginner but confused about what is meant by forward and backward knots and which string is doing what. could you pls forward me to another video explaining these?
I don’t have one but Masha Knots has a good video on basic friendship bracelet knots
I love this bracelet and tutorial ❤️ and the color of embroidery floss is to die for, what color did you use brand and color number please 😊
I would to know the colors as well. Beautiful bracelet!
To me it looks similar to DMC's Light Beaver Gray or Shell Gray, but I'm sure there are more khaki shades in their neutrals pallet.
What embroidery floss did you use for the tutorial and if you are comfortable with sharing the number?
Raye M. it’s DMC embroidery floss, I don’t remember the color used for the larger bracelet but the smaller one is Ecru.
@@patternandcraft3908 thank you. It looks similar to one I have, that's why I asked. I think the shiny look with this bracelet is absolutely gorgeous.
What type of string do you use to make the bracelet? I just love this pattern!
I’m glad you like it! I use DMC embroidery floss.
Thank you! Would you mind sharing the colors you used? They set the pattern off perfectly.
I can just barely get 9 strings out of 1 skein if I cut them shorter then I usually do (70 in), what length are you making your strings to get 11 of one color or are you using more than one skein?
I use more than 1 skein for sure! I think I get 5 strings per skein, sometimes 6 if I can get away with shorter strings
@@patternandcraft3908 what type of string did you use
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can you please share the length of the cords used?
That depends on your wrist size/how long you want your bracelet and if you are using a loop start or ties at both ends. Try a “wingspan” for no loop, double that for loop start.
I didn't understand what lengths do i need for the larger version
I believe about 1 meter for strings, 2 meters if you plan to do a loop start and fold the strings in half. Hard to say because everyone’s wrist size is different so that may be too little or too much, but it’s usually a good average.
Hi, I love the bracelet but,, would you please let me know what you de mean with a regular lenght strings?
The length you would normally cut for making a friendship bracelet - sorry it’s different for everyone because people have different sized wrists and preferences in bracelet tightness, but usually if you measure string as long as finger tip to finger tip with arms held straight out to the sides then that’s plenty. But of course double that if making a loop start because you’ll be folding the strings in half.
@@patternandcraft3908 thanks very much for the tip, I get it and also tks for sharing your knowledge. Greetings from northern Spain
I am 5'6" tall (± 66 inches or 168 cm), so a wingspan (outstretched arms) would be equal to the same, correct? Or, if you measure from your fingertips to about the center of your neck or chest you should get approximately half your height measurement - then double THAT before cutting the string. I fold the 70" lengths in half & use one ±80" strand for wrapping the loop (5½-6½" finished bracelet for most patterns). I'm thinking of Leonardo da Vinci's human proportions diagram, but correct me if I'm wrong about the term, wingspan.
A arte e linda mas não sei nada de inglês.
Alguém pode traduzir a quantidade de fios que vai e quantos metros?
Obrigada!!❤👏🏻🌹
For the big one with the loop start use 11 double length strings with one about 10cm longer than the rest.. So about 11 300cm strings and one 310cm.. If you dont want the loop then just use 22 normal length strings.. So about 150cm.
For the small one with the loop use 9 double length strings and one 10cm longer than the rest.. So about 300cm and one string 310cm.. If you dont want the loop than 18 normal length strings.. So about 150cm..
I hope that helps you!!!
I dont know the type and thickness of the sting ! also what lenght to cut every string ! I would appreciate if you could answer me !!!
Embroidery floss, 1 wingspan for regular length strings (no loop), 2 wingspans minus a few inches for double length strings (loop start), and see the note about string length at the start of the video.
@@patternandcraft3908 Thank you so much!!!!
can we allowed to put some beads on there if we can
Of course! That would look great
How long should each string be if making a loop? 2 m long?
Yes, on average
Backwards/forwards knots? Is that the same as half hutch knots?
I think so? It’s a standard friendship bracelet knot term.
τα κουμπακια πως τα κανουμε δεν βλεπω στο βιντεο
SORRY BUT I didn't found how long are the cords for each model. Can you share the lengths? Thanks.
Generally if you hold your arms straight out to each side then you can take the measurement from fingertip to fingertip and that’s how long for a no-loop bracelet (ties on both sides), I’ve heard this referred to as a “wingspan”. Use about double that length for a loop start bracelet, since you’re folding the strings in half for that version. I think I probably said “the normal length you would cut your strings” because this is fairly universal for any friendship bracelet. Sorry I wasn’t more clear.
what does double length mean?? what is the mesurement?
I believe about 1 meter for strings, 2 meters if you plan to do a loop start and fold the strings in half. Hard to say because everyone’s wrist size is different so that may be too little or too much, but it’s usually a good average.
how much cord do you need?
You’ll probably need about 3 skeins of embroidery floss
Can anyone tell us how long the strings are? I’ve noticed a lot of people have asked this, with no answer...
Sorry for not providing specific lengths, it really depends on how big your wrist is/how long of a bracelet you want. I’ve seen people make bracelets anywhere from 5” to 8.5” finished size so if I give a set length to cut it may be too long and waste string for some, or not long enough and run out for others. Generally though, if making the bracelet for yourself then you can use a “wingspan” as a guide, which is the length from fingertip to fingertip with arms held straight out to each side. So a “regular length” is 1 wingspan, a “double length” is 2 wingspans minus a few inches because you don’t need to allow for the extra used for ties at one end. Most people develop some sort of way to guesstimate how much string they need for a bracelet after making their first few bracelets, and I don’t consider this a beginner project so I assumed anyone making this bracelet would already know how much string they usually use, but I probably should have explained that in the video or done another video specifically about string lengths. I hope this helps!
I don't understand why you just don't give how long strings needed for this particular bracelet ?. how long is she? then I will calculate the length for my bracelet myself.
@@lucynam.658 a double wing span for me is 310cm or 155cm for 1 wingspan but obviously every ones arm/wingspan is different, hope that helps
How long is a regular length
Usually a “wingspan” works well, so the length from fingertip to fingertip when arms are held out straight to each side. Usually this works well to get the right length string for a bracelet for your own wrist, but may be less or more if making the bracelet for someone else depending if their wrist is larger or smaller than yours is. So basically just use the length of string you usually use for making other friendship bracelets.
Where are u Cotrtany, I have not seen anything new from you n awhile, I hope you are doing well.
Sorry about that. I recently moved and have had a lot of house stuff (and other life stuff) to deal with. I will be back eventually. Thanks for checking on me!
How long are the 22 strings?
You can use 100-110cms per string. If you are doing the loop start, then measure 110 cm doubled (to finally have 11 strings of roughly 200cm).
😮👏👏👏👍💞💞💞
Did I miss the lengths of the strings?
I paused it and saw "regular length strings, and one 10 cm longer. No help at all.
How long do the strings need to be to start this bracelet?
Please see the note at the start of the video, and use a wingspan as a gauge for “regular length”. The string lengths will be similar to how much you use for any other friendship bracelet, maybe a bit less.
How long is regular length meant to be?
A wingspan (fingertip to fingertip with arms outstretched) usually works well.
the knots are outside the camera, and since these knots can be called differently (not everyone calls them "forward" etc.), it's hard to figure out what you are doing.
Check a video on basic friendship bracelet knots. Masha knots has a good one. I’ve never heard them called anything other than forward knot, backward knot, forward/backward knot, and backward/forward knot, sorry about that.
C est nul pour sous titré française. Je sais pas lire anglais . L
J arrive pas regarder le mesure...c est insuffisant ...
Imagine the other side...... 👁️👄👁️
I should have shown it! It looks much better on the side shown, but the back is interesting.
are you starting up your nuts off the camera lens some of us beginners have hard time understanding what you’re doing please put your hands up in the camera lens more we can see what you’re doing of the backwards front knot
