Cut your base strings roughly 24 inches long and then fold them and knot at the end. The loop will be where you tie on your bracelet. NOTE: For individual strings (unfolded) you will want about 12 inches per strand. (You may use as many base strings as you want but I wouldn't use less than three because I feel the pattern will look off with only two strings The method is the same just knot across until you reach the end of your specific number of strands.) The scrap threads will need to be about 5 or 6 inches long. You can use long strings that are not scraps and tie them on then cut them after the row and continue reusing them if you want. I just decided to use scraps since I had them but fresh string may be used as well. So... set up your strings like you would an alpha and tie on to the first strand and make one forward (4) knot. You do not need two because knotting it on is taking place of one of the two knots. For all the other strings you will resume the "two knots per strand" method and continue until you reach the end. You may trim the 'frayed edges' closer if you feel they are too much but don't cut too close or you may unravel your bracelet! I find cutting the string at a slight angle helps fray them a little better. Cutting them parallel the bracelet edge seemed to make the fray a bit too uniform for my liking so I decided to angle the scissors while making the cuts- it looks better IMO. When finishing separate the strings in to two sections and braid. The two braids at the end will be used in conjunction with the loop at the beginning of the bracelet to tie on. Stick one braid through the loop and then tie- done. Lastly... good luck. Treat it like an alpha and you should be good to go. ________________________________________________________________ ¦ "WTF MAN, THE SOUND IS REALLY LOW ON THIS FIX IT NOW." I'm sorry the volume seems so low. I was testing out a new editing software and I think I may have wrecked the sound more than a little. In fact I think I straight up botched it in every single way. Yay for learning new software. =/ Anyway... I'll try to figure out what went wrong and fix it for next time... unless you guys are appreciative of me being less "obnoxiously loud" and prefer I do more videos muted like this. Let me know below. P.S. If you need to raise the volume up to speaker blowing levels to hear me please remember to lower it again immediately after the video. I am not taking the blame for you clicking on to the next normal (or extremely loud) video and having your speakers or ears get KO'd from it. ^_^ ________________________________________________________________
