Masha Knots where did you get your thread

I just got into making bracelets again (I used to when I was younger, but I didn’t do anything too complex), now I’m reading patterns and using multiple colors, so this video is really helpful since I’m still a beginner :)

I thought I was a professional at friendship bracelets....until I watched this video 😂 I LEARNED SO MUCH!!! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! IT WAS AWESOME!!!

Hello, Recently, a friend told us that she is allergic to several metals, which is why she does not wear bracelets. I thought back to my high school years and decided to research friendship bracelets. You were listed on one tutorial as an excellent teacher to beginners. Thank you ! As someone who is hard of hearing, I suggest that you lower the volume on your background music so it is easier for ppl like me to hear what you are saying. Blessings!

Not really a beginner but I just couldn’t miss a video! ❤️ and everyone after a while you’ll brain will just automatically know when to do forward or backward knots on simple patterns like chevron

For some reason the only thing I could look at was the Harry Potter books in the background 😂😂😂

kzread.info/dash/bejne/aIxnra6ddc3YlNI.html That's the most popular way to do it, but the just of it is doing square knots on the ties of the bracelet

@jem6640

4 жыл бұрын

this is how i do it: first, flip the loop over your bracelet and pull half of the bracelet through the loop. next, put the extra thread through the loop that you created and tighten the sliding knot. then, tie a knot about an inch away from the sliding knot. the sliding knot will pull along the extra thread and the knot at the end will keep the knot from sliding off. 😊

the people who disliked are the ones who gave up..... if you see this, please dont give up! its so fun and addicting once you get the hang of it!!!!!

I know this video is older now but it is fantastically well made. It's obvious that being thorough and correct is very important to you. I can tell your channel is going to have a wealth of knowledge! I can't wait to explore!!!

*where was this years ago when i needed it🤩thank you so much for this! even though i’ve been making bracelets for a few years, this video still helped me a lot!!*

I can't thank you enough for your awesome tutorials! I'm in my 50's and my nieces are between 8 and 12. It's time for them to learn friendship bracelets and you've given me so much great material to teach them & tutorials to send their folks to help them when I'm not there. Love, love, love you & your channel!💕

Omg I feel so glad you've posted this! I've been feeling hopeless about friendship bracelets because of how my threads make it so hard for me to do them (my best ones are with DK knitting yarn because of the thickness, but the bracelets look fragile and fluffy we) but this video has reminded me to keep trying to find new threads and to keep pushing onwards because soon, I'll be as good as you guys! Thank you so much Masha!!

using size 3 crochet thread might be an idea? - it's thicker than embroidery floss but it's fairly tightly twisted and smooth. which might make it easier to practice with since it's in-between yarn and floss sort of

@@sbadapple3473 oh okay -- thank you! I'll definitely check those out :D

wow, this is a very thorough video! i do a lot of fiber arts but i've never done friendship bracelets before, this is very inspiring and makes me want to start doing them! thank you for making it so easy to follow

I really enjoy your videos. They give me wayyyy more help with making bracelets and it feels more personal. And, before I saw your fishbone chevron rainbow bracelet, I never really thought about making bracelets but now, I literally cannot get enough of it!

Thank you so much Masha for making this video! I started selling my bracelets about the same time I started watching your videos and you have helped me SO MUCH with finding better technics to making them. Hope you're good girl, God bless you!:)

I used to make alot of alpha bracelets and gave it to my family and friends. I got busy with crocheting and knittingy recently but when I found out about your channel, I got inspired to get back to making bracelets! :D I'm gonna try to buy threads soon ❤️

starting this journey! i have been making bead bracelets since i was young so i've had experience w other materials but i had a lot of thread lying around from stitching. so i searched if there were floss bracelets. and i'm so happy i found these videos!

This video just makes me so happy. I recently got into making bracelets (I’ve already done 2 chevrons and one other idk how it’s called) and I haven’t even imagined there are such complicated patterns out there! The alpha patterns intrigue me a lot. I hope I will be able to make an alpha pattern in the future!

The KZread algorithm recomended me this video and I'm so hyped up right now! 🤩 I did simple friendship bracelets when I was about 10-12 years old and I remember the only good resource for learning to do the bracelets and look for inspiration were books and printed instructions as the internet wasn't such a big part of our lives back then. Now that I watched your video I want to look up nice patterns and tutorials to start doing friendship bracelets again ✨ Thank you for such an informative and great video!!!

This video was awesome! So helpful for me who used to make bracelets in my childhood, but have forgotten the process!!

thank you so much for the captions. I have severe motor delays and I'm gonna try making bracelets to help my motor skills. Thanks for this.

Thank you so much Masha!! I’m a beginner to friendship bracelets, and this helped alot! Awesome video!!! 🤍🌿

Great video! I’m not really a beginner but I still picked up a few tips & I’ll definitely refer my friends how want to start making bracelets to this video, since I’m not a very good teacher lol. There is one thing I wanted to say about choosing colors, you can think about a character you like, and choose a color scheme inspired by them ( Ex: if you like captain america, you could do silver, red, blue, navy, and white) This also can work for photos or artwork you like. I like to do this so I just thought it might help someone else :) **edit for grammar**

Thanks so much for this very informative and easy to watch video. I do a number of crafts but my daughter asked me to make a friendship bracelet and I didn't know where to start. After watching this video I think I could get addicted to making these! x

yay this was very helpful! can’t wait to start making bracelets ☺️🙌

Received your book today, so much easier than skipping through videos and websites :)

This video is set up and organized so well. (also another good way to support if you don't have patreon is to watch all of the ads and don't skip them. Patreon is still the best way though)

I always make the beginning triangle end wonky but the last triangle end always looks good

I've only just started making friendship bracelets, but I have some of the metallic threads, and I find that to prevent the strings coming apart, smudge a bit of pva glue on the end as soon as it is cut and it holds the ends of the thread together so it doesn't fray and come apart. It only takes a few minutes to dry and I do this for every thread I have that tends to fray and come apart a lot.

Very helpful and structured video! Even after years of making bracelets, I learned a lot 😊 Thank you so much @mashaknots!

I just finished my fourth bracelet, for a friend, and I am really proud of it. However, just as I was making the last knots and looking for a good way to tie it, I realized I did it all in single knots!!! I'm not re-doing it, and it's visually and structurally sound. However I have 1/3 of leftover string, since I used less than intended. Good to know it can be useful!

Love the butterfly tape! 😎
