    You can use string that can't be burned (ex. friendship bracelet sting/embroidery thread) and use clear nail polish or glue to seal the knots.
    Measurements:
    Main part of the bracelet: 9 pieces of string that are 6 inches each
    "Tails" (strings that you pull to close it) 2 pieces that are 8 inches each
    Closure: 1 piece of string that is 4-6 inches
    Hey guys! Sorry I've been gone for so long, as some of you may know I just got back from vacation and it's been a pretty busy few weeks. Thankfully things have slowed down a bit, and I've been working hard to make as many videos as possible! I wasn't planning on making a video on these, but hopefully you guys like it. I have a special Disney-themed sketchbook video coming soon!

    Every time I twist the strings they just unravel once I knot them. I have tried to twist them in each direction and as soon as I knot them, it's just two strings knoted, no twists. For the life of me I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong?

  • @Podet05
    @Podet05 2 роки тому +1

    Hi! I used this video to make my bracelet and it turned out great! However, I used weaving string (idk if that was right) and the lighter would not fuse the strings together, it would just char them. So, i just cut off the excess string and used a hot glue gun on the knots and it worked perfectly!

      We saw another video that knotted both ends, then twisted them as tight as possible and used the lighter sweep across to melt them a bit together. Don’t hold the lighter on it too long otherwise the string will rip in half and/or turn black.

    There’s something I’ve been wanting to talk to you both about - and I know this is a difficult conversation. But I care about you both very much. And I know you care about each other very much and that’s why it’s important that we set these boundaries moving forward so we can build an environment, where we all feel comfortable, trusted and open to sharing our feelings. Feelings.
    Feelings. Jesus. The truth is, for so long, I’d forgotten what those even were. I’ve been stuck in one place - in a cave, you might say. A deep dark cave. And then, I left some Eggos out in the woods and you came into my life and... for the first time in a long time, I started to feel things again. I started to feel happy. But lately, I guess I’ve been feeling distant from you. Like you’re pulling away from me or something. I miss playing board games every night, making triple-decker Eggo extravaganzas at sunrise, watching westerns together before we doze off. But I know you’re getting older, growing, changing. And I guess, if i’m being really honest, that’s what scares me.
    I don’t want things to change. So I think maybe that’s why I came here, to try to maybe... stop that change. To turn back the clock. To make things go back to how they were. But I know that’s naive. It’s just not how life works. It’s moving. Always moving whether you like it or not. And yeah, sometimes it’s painful. Sometimes it’s sad and sometimes it’s surprising. Happy. So you know what? Keep on growing up, kid. Don’t let me stop you. Make mistakes, learn from ‘em, and when life hurts you, because it will, remember the hurt. The hurt is good. It means you’re out of that cave. But, please, if you don’t mind, for the sake of your poor old dad, keep the door open three inches.
