All I wish for is using the correct term for the knots. Macrame which came from fishing knots using the same terminology - what you are doing here is a half-hitch knot. A right or left half-hitch knot makes a "flat" knot, a series of right or left half-hitches gives the knot a twisting motion.
I’m really really really happy that your video got put in my recommended!!! I’ve been making bracelets since I was 12, I’m now 20, and this is a whole world of bracelet making I never knew!! Like holy I’m so excited to make new patterns and bracelets with all the info I’ve gotten from your channel! 💙
Hi! I use a binder to secure my bracelet once I have a loop. I'll just open one of the rings and loop it on there. Works perfectly and gives me a nice flat surface to work on.
One of the most detailed and helpful tutorial video, for "how to start a bracelet". Thank you for showing us the way to do this loop. The talent you have, for decoding the pattern, is amazing!!! Congratulations!!!
I’m so glad I watched this video. I’ve been making bracelets for almost 15 years and this tutorial finally taught me how to segment knot!!! I never thought I’d be able to understand it, but here I am. My days of reading patters row by row and getting lost, losing steam, and taking forever are over. Thanks for all your work and sharing your skill!
I have a lot of trouble finding somewhere comfortable to knot. I have a bad back, so I usually pull a chair up to a tall dresser and tape my bracelet around eye level. It also reduces tangles to have to strings dangle.
This is so cool! I thought it would be impossibly hard, but after your explanation, it looks very doable :D I've always started my bracelets with an unbraided loop and a knot, and ended them with a simple braid, and then wrapped the loop onto/around the braid so that I could move the "wrapped loop" up and down the braid and make the bracelet on my wrist loose or tight, but tbh the teardrop loop looks so much cooler :D Thanks!
After you do the teardrop, the bottom comes to a point and makes a v shape. you can continue to knot down the v towards the middle (which i find easiest and the best looking) , or you could go row by row, or you can segment knot it , which she made a video on how to segment knot on her channel :)
These videos are inspiring. Especially, at a time when we have to stay home. My daughter and I have started a new hobby of bracelet making together. Thank you!
to secure your bracelets. i got a clipboard and cut little notches at the bottom just using a pair of scissors. the notches hold the strings so i can make knots without the other strings getting in the way!
I used to make simple friendship bracelets when I was younger but since they are so popular now and there are so many different designs I’m getting back into it and learning the best designs (in my opinion) I’m so excited to learn
I recently “rediscovered” making friendship bracelets when I volunteered at a summer camp…needless to say, I’m just as I seeded now as I was back in Middle school lol thank you for all of your videos! They’ve been greatly helpful as I’m learning many many new things :)
I love how satisfying and easy your tutorials are to watch! I've been so curious on how to start my bracelets so this was very helpful :) Keep up the awesome content!
I just found this channel and am loving it! I teach a string art class at a summer camp (friendship bracelets, kumihimo, plastic lacing, and tapestry weaving), and these are definitely going to open up my repertoire! I just started a fishbone chevron and it is going quite well. I like this teardrop loop technique as well. Concerning attaching bracelets while working on them, all of my students get a binder clip to take with them. They can then clip their projects to their backpacks, water bottles, or anything else. It is very effective and doesn't wear out like tape does. I'm also planning on making a QR code to your channel to give to my students for if they want to try out more types of bracelets at home.
I often do my bracelets on a quite “firm“ pillow. So to secure it I just use a safety pin. That works quite well 🙃 Btw. Your channel just got recommendet to me. The 30 minute Video where you showed all your bracelets. The last two bracelets were my favorite because they gave me an Idea what I can do for my boyfriend for his birthday or Christmas or something :) Definitely subscribed, love the videos❤
This is a late comment but I’ve just discovered your channel and it’s been so helpful :) I secure my bracelets either using a binder clip or (I’m going to try to explain this bear with me) a cardboard thingy which on the top has two cuts to put the loop or braids around and on the bottom has many many cuts/slits for organizing the threads. It’s a little longer than a complete bracelet length and it’s really convenient because I don’t need to secure that to anything else. Sorry that was long and probably confusing 😅 Thanks again for all your videos, it really is a whole new world of bracelet making
Wow this is the best video for this❤️ esp when you arranged the knots in the color you need it. I always get a weird gap at the beginning but I don’t anymore doing this method!
Audrey-ana Tent-chip At 11:52 you could continue doing the V shape but every row will have one less knot to do because you are stopping at the row with the last orange knot to make it horizontal. After it’s horizontal you can knot row by row.
I’ve been making bracelets for quite some time now. I usually just start out with braids or the simple loop. It wasn’t until recently I’ve come across this as a way to start bracelets. This is by far the most helpful video I’ve come across! I usually only do forward knots and even though I’ve secured my bracelet it some how kept going into a staircase pattern. I never thought of doing forward backwards and I think that might help me! Thank you for always making such informative and helpful videos! 💘
Oh! This is much easier than the other method to make this that I've seen previously, thanks. Also, I secure my bracelets by sticking the loop through the handle of my drawer and putting a pen through the loop so it stays there.
So, when you do the triangle shape after the teardrop, do you continue the pattern as normal? I mean, you continue the row that follow the triangle shape, is that right? I want to do this teardrop shape on my bracelets but it's confusing for me how to continue after making the V shape :(
Cyb3rgirl You could continue doing the V shape but every row will have one less knot to do because you are stopping at the row with the orange knot to make it straight.
@@xXcraftlovinggalXx but if u continue doing the v shape like working from the side into the middle, isn't that gonna change the pattern of ur bracelet?
i thought this was so difficult but its actually the opposite! lol i love your channel, I've recently gotten back into making bracelets and your vids are so helpful! :D
So satisfying to watch... the twisted thread is my favorite string to work with.. embroidery floss is okay but not the best. I love that bracelet Masha! Great video..👍🏻
Something I've learned from watching fingerloop braiding videos is to screw a hook or hammer a small nail into a board. You can then hook you project onto the hook/nail and work from there. It gives you freedom to rotate left and right and you can easily slip your bracelet off at any time to check it. My question is how much extra is some extra? Like how much longer do you typically make the teardrop string? A quarter meter, a meter, more?
I use the loop idea similar to yours but I never used the triangle idea!! It looks so cool thanks for sharing! And by the way from my experience you can still use an odd number of strings.
I have wanted to try this for so long! Every video I've seen or pic I've looked up are confusing. I feel like they don't give enough detail. After watching this I think I'm ready to give it a try! Your video is awesome!!
Hi Masha, Is there a way you can make a teardrop loop without the extra strings showing when you're using the straight edges technique? Thank you for your time.
Could you show how you continue making the bracelet after making the loop Also I secure mine by using a metal clip and the box I keep all my strings in, before I used a clipboard but eventually it stopped working for me.
I used to use a safety pin and would attatch it to my jeans or a scarf that i would wrap around my leg or through the back spokes of a kitchen chair if i didn't want to make holes in my clothes
Tbh i don't know if I'm just stupid, but i don't quite understand what the loops are for? Do you pull the ties through the loop? If so, then how exactly do they stay in place? Or are they decoration or hook on to key chains maybe?
I use a bunch of left over threads from an old bracelet and hook them around the start of the loop and then pinch the loose ends together under the clipboard. It works pretty well for me but idk if I explained it very well
I usually use a clipboard, but a lot of the clips that clipboards have, I find just aren’t strong enough, or versatile enough for me, so I typically flip it and use binder clips. I can move the binder clip at different angles and it clamps down pretty hard. But this hurts my back because clipboards are smaller and it’s difficult to use on a flat top unless you put weights on it. So I end up leaning over it a lot. But, I’m going to be getting a macrame board (which is much bigger) and using pins to hold the bracelet down to see how it works.
I am new two patern bracelets and I hav efound your channel. It’s really helpful and I know this video was posted a year ago but where do you buy this type of thread?
Thank you so much for that knowledge on the tear drop! I've been doing that but couldn't quite get the string positions right unless I just did a classic chevron! Can't wait to try on other patterns :)
I love this tutorial!! Will definitely be using this loop going forward! Do you have any advice on how to make your bracelet horizontal again rather than following the v shape?
as I understand it you'd have to finish the horizontal rows of knots until you reach the top of the v and then you could continue horizontally, but I don't fully trust me I'm also just a beginner.
Great video, thanks for the help- is there a way to make this or similar loop with a pattern that is asymmetrical? It’s my favorite way to start bracelets and run into this problem a lot.
Hi Masha! I secure mi bracelets with a clipboard, but before I used strong'n big clippers, one of them smaller, and the bigger one clipped on to a table... perfect 🔥
Masha, do you know how a teardrop loop would work if you had a bracelet which wasn't symmetrical - i.e. it had an even number of strings but the pattern on the left wasn't mirrored on the right?
I use tape , but when I have my desired loop length I cut the tape from one corner to the other and stick the smaller part through the loop on the top then do the same thing but put it upside down the take 2 regular pieces and put them on the bigger ends of the angled tapes. If that makes sense ?
Can you make a short video on how tie bracelets with these kinds of loops? I made a few of the fishbone chevron bracelets with the loop, then I got to the end and made the ties, but I don’t know how to tie them so that they are wearable.
What if you have a zig zag pattern, how would you to follow the triangle, (I have one blue on one side and one on the other, but I need double on the same side)
i created a teardrop loop following your tutorial... i also did a triangle end as well...i dont know how to send it to u but its a nice tutorial! i actually used the same technique to create a loop before even finding your videos on you tube
I’m not understanding how to keep going after the video ends in the pattern do I keep going in the tear way right below the highlighted part in the video or do I go straight in a line?
Hi Iam Richi from indonesia, i just nubie and tried to making friendship brachelete, i have question after you finished with v shape, what is the next step? (if i want to make the same pattern like in your video)shall i start from row no.2? or what?. thanks in advance
Thank you for this! I've been trying to do the teardrop but I get this awful bump in the middle. I know now what I've been doing wrong and I'm going to try this on my next bracelet!
hey, i want to ask how do you mean by "making it even/horizontal and then do it the regular way?" do you have a tutorial on that? i'm a beginner and i'm still learning, hope you can help. i love your videos btw! it helps a lot! thank you!
What do I do if my pattern isn't symmetrical? I have a pattern that is rainbow on the left half and black and white on the right half. It has an even number of strings, but I can't really just fold them in half on each side of the loop, right?
I've been watching a TON of videos about friendship bracelets because I've been wanting to try an advance my skills a little bit! I've been watching a ton of your videos and I'm IMPRESSED! I always thought that the teardrop loop was difficult, but it's WAYYY easier than I thought! Thanks for this awesome tutorial, Masha!!! Although, I am a bit confused. What about the part of the pattern before the v shape?!?!
I love your videos and they have helped me tremendously. I am confused however on how you do this and alternate the color (as in your half and half cheveron). Do I just tie the strings together next to each other?
@@MashaKnots I just found it. Probably should've looked at the comments first. Lol. Thank you! Hopefully I get the teardrop loop down packed so I can make my pattern. Thanks again so much!
So I've got some threads that are on the far side of the bundle that I'm trying to shape. Should I just do the regular forward knot to move it into proper place? It looks wrong to do the backward-forward stitch
This video is the best..helped me so much since i am still beginner in this bracelet..definitely will subscribe and look up for you upcoming videos..😍😍
how did you continue the bracelet? did you continue doing it in a 'v' shape? and if not can you make a tutorial on how to even it out and make it horizontal? thank you so much! you are very helpful!
She said that you can make a normal flat/ even pattern without the teardrop part, just don't tie off your colors like she dies when she shows the v pattern. You will have the loop without the v shape.

Can I change colors when I change sides? The pattern I'm making is half and half and im wondering if I can have 2 colors.
I actually use my feet to make them sometimes 😂 I hook the loop onto my first or second toe and it works perfectly 😂
Daniel Whidden lol!

Also I secure mine by using a metal clip and the box I keep all my strings in, before I used a clipboard but eventually it stopped working for me.
To secure my bracelets, I use a command hook.
that's a really smart idea, i duct tape mine to my string box :)

thank you for this! I was pretty scared to start trying out different loops but this video was super helpful!
Don't be scared it's just some strings and a few knots, it wont hurt ya 🙂
I use a bunch of left over threads from an old bracelet and hook them around the start of the loop and then pinch the loose ends together under the clipboard. It works pretty well for me but idk if I explained it very well
Literally changed my knotting foreverr. But QUESTION!!!! Do u know the best way to gigure out how much string is needed per bracelet?
Great video!! But I’m confused how u did the pattern down instead of across. Wld the pattern turn out ok if u work across instead of down??
how did you do the teardrop with half black and white and half color for the chevron??

Hi Masha!
I secure mi bracelets with a clipboard, but before I used strong'n big clippers, one of them smaller, and the bigger one clipped on to a table... perfect 🔥
You can also secure the brackets on a waterbottle or something like that.
So would you say the outer most triangle would be the fifth triangle? I’m new to friendship bracelets and this is really helpful!
Masha, do you know how a teardrop loop would work if you had a bracelet which wasn't symmetrical - i.e. it had an even number of strings but the pattern on the left wasn't mirrored on the right?
how much longer would you make the loop string than the others?
I very very new at this never heard of it before? Thank you for show me the way? The book is it out in England do you know?
I use a pin and pin it to my pillow and lie in bed while making bracelets. I love you vids so much they are so helpful
I use tape , but when I have my desired loop length I cut the tape from one corner to the other and stick the smaller part through the loop on the top then do the same thing but put it upside down the take 2 regular pieces and put them on the bigger ends of the angled tapes. If that makes sense ?
Can you make a short video on how tie bracelets with these kinds of loops? I made a few of the fishbone chevron bracelets with the loop, then I got to the end and made the ties, but I don’t know how to tie them so that they are wearable.
What if you have a zig zag pattern, how would you to follow the triangle, (I have one blue on one side and one on the other, but I need double on the same side)
That is my question too! What if you need two of the same color on one side, such as for this bracelet: www.braceletbook.com/patterns/normal/145/
What type of knot do you use to attach the two sides you didn't say just that you weren't good at it.. Forward backward or backward forward or ?
U probably won’t answer but what do u after the loop. Do u do It straight down like normal or what?? Love ur vids
Once I finish the triangle part, which row do I look at to start making the bracelet normally? Row 2?
When you connect the 2 strings in the middle what kind of knot did you do, forward or backward?
can you use this method for bracelets like Chinese staircase, candy stripe, and dragon tail?
i created a teardrop loop following your tutorial... i also did a triangle end as well...i dont know how to send it to u but its a nice tutorial! i actually used the same technique to create a loop before even finding your videos on you tube
time to up my bracelet making game!! thank you so much!
quick question out of curiosity lol how long does it take you to make your average bracelet?
3-8h on average
I’m not understanding how to keep going after the video ends in the pattern do I keep going in the tear way right below the highlighted part in the video or do I go straight in a line?
Hi Iam Richi from indonesia, i just nubie and tried to making friendship brachelete, i have question after you finished with v shape, what is the next step? (if i want to make the same pattern like in your video)shall i start from row no.2? or what?. thanks in advance
after you finish the bracelet design how do you tie the strings to the loop to be able to wear it?
Thank you for this! I've been trying to do the teardrop but I get this awful bump in the middle. I know now what I've been doing wrong and I'm going to try this on my next bracelet!
hey, i want to ask how do you mean by "making it even/horizontal and then do it the regular way?" do you have a tutorial on that? i'm a beginner and i'm still learning, hope you can help. i love your videos btw! it helps a lot! thank you!
I know you made a video on how to do one with odd numbers of threads but what patterns CAN you use that have even amounts of thread??
That is genius!!! I'm a bracelet maker as well...totally going to steal this idea💕
Not my idea anyway haha, I'm just passing on the knowledge :)
Lol this is SUPER late but can I use this teardrop loop for a simple Chevron bracelet??
Bobbiegmz yes!
Which one do you do, do you continue reading the pattern as a triangle or do you make knots to make it straight
You can do whatever, it doesn't matter
Masha Knots which on did you do
Honestly don’t remember. I do whatever I feel like in the moment
What do I do if my pattern isn't symmetrical? I have a pattern that is rainbow on the left half and black and white on the right half. It has an even number of strings, but I can't really just fold them in half on each side of the loop, right?
What if my bracelet doesn’t have any sort of “V” in the pattern. like for example a candy stripe but more advanced. How would I do it?
what do you do with leftover string? would love to know!
Alphas!
Alphas are hard... i’m a newbie that is terrible at these yet loves them so much.
I've been watching a TON of videos about friendship bracelets because I've been wanting to try an advance my skills a little bit! I've been watching a ton of your videos and I'm IMPRESSED! I always thought that the teardrop loop was difficult, but it's WAYYY easier than I thought! Thanks for this awesome tutorial, Masha!!!
Although, I am a bit confused. What about the part of the pattern before the v shape?!?!
I love your videos and they have helped me tremendously. I am confused however on how you do this and alternate the color (as in your half and half cheveron). Do I just tie the strings together next to each other?
I made a separate video about that :)
@@MashaKnots I just found it. Probably should've looked at the comments first. Lol. Thank you! Hopefully I get the teardrop loop down packed so I can make my pattern. Thanks again so much!
How do you find a triangle in the pattern?? Btw love your vids ❤️
find the center point of the pattern and draw two diagonals
how would you just make a straight line after the loop, would u knot the 2 sides so its all together
So I've got some threads that are on the far side of the bundle that I'm trying to shape. Should I just do the regular forward knot to move it into proper place? It looks wrong to do the backward-forward stitch
Nvrm, I figured out that I could split the threads and pull the one I need through to the other side. Now the knot looks good!
This video is the best..helped me so much since i am still beginner in this bracelet..definitely will subscribe and look up for you upcoming videos..😍😍
Happy I helped! And welcome :)
how did you continue the bracelet? did you continue doing it in a 'v' shape? and if not can you make a tutorial on how to even it out and make it horizontal? thank you so much! you are very helpful!
She said that you can make a normal flat/ even pattern without the teardrop part, just don't tie off your colors like she dies when she shows the v pattern. You will have the loop without the v shape.
@@gigart thank you, haha but i kind of gave up making bracelets a long time ago haha
@@sachisuperstar what a pity, im just getting back into it myself
@@gigart ik! im going to get back into it too! thank you for commenting! cause now im going to start again!
