You don't want to run out of floss after all that knotting and not be able to finish it. You'll be making extra knots with every row, and therefore going through each color a little quicker. The highest number of strands I've ever done is eight.
And depending on what you'd like your pattern to be, you can use two alternating colors, or every strand can be a different color. You can get lots of pretty patterns with very little effort! I've included a picture of a six strand bracelet next to an eight strand bracelet so you can get a better idea.
Begin the bracelet by taking your cut strands of embroidery floss and tying an overhand knot in one end. Adhere this to a tabletop or your pants or a pillow and braid three inches down from this knot. Once you've finished your braid, make another overhand knot at the bottom of the braid. And now we'll get to the fun bit! And just so everyone knows - each finished bracelet with be 3 inches of braiding on each end so 6 inches total and inches of the knotting that makes up the actual bracelet.
I feel like this is a useful way to understand what you're doing. The color you've just finished carrying all the way to the right will always hang off to the side, which will help let you know when you've finished a row.
If you miss a strand or accidentally forget to finish a row, it should be easy to spot. It's a good idea to keep a needle around to help you pick out any knots if you mess up - they're so tiny it's hard to do with your fingers! Once you've got inches worth of knotting done, you're fine to finish up your bracelet. Make another overhand knot right at the end of the main part of the bracelet. From that knot, braid three inches and then knot again. Now you're done! And you'll be able to do it yourself.
I swear this is what always happened when I made them when I was younger, or when a friend made me one and tied it on. There was no taking them off. You either wore them, or cut them off and ruined them. If you've knotted your bracelet with a fury, it could cause it to curl up a bit. Make sure it's pulled nice and taut. Spray it with a good amount of water soak it! This is called "blocking" and it'll help it lay nice and flat.
Always felt such a klutz when my primary school aged daughter maybe 8 or 9 years old! She tried to teach me then, but no go. You know,there are always some things in our lives that we want to achieve before we "leave". For me this is one of them. Plus your instructions are so clear. Thank you. Reply 12 months ago.

I was cleaning out my old room I made in the basement in high school and threw out some of the bead making I kept the choker jig for some reason , bracelet and craft stuff. There was a period where I had to learn every hobby and craft, including what the ladies were doing there were a few experiments I didn't try for sure that are just for the girls.
Reply 3 years ago. Seems like I'd use a thumb tack for these style bracelets or tie to something and jam in the desk since I'd make in class sometimes. There is a tutorial about stringlength, too. But in European size in cm and with the loop on the end of bracelet. Pattern with: 12 strings - 0. Here is my trick. When a do a new model, I take note of the legth of the strings left at the end each colors. This way, next time I use the same model, I've got the precise length of each colors.
I agree with the other commenters, you get faster with practice. I can do a string normal pattern in 45 minutes, but I have to be "in the zone. It may take some extra time in the beginning.
But by drawing and coloring the pattern, your forcing your brain to learn the pattern in a number of different ways. This keeps you from having to constantly glance at the grid.
