Hi! You might be working too tight with the knots. We also used braided nylon cord so that could be the issue?

Thank you!

You sure can!

I measured it to my own wrist for sizing. You will need to measure it to yourself as a guideline.

Sure!

Hi! Do you mean with the thread or with the leather?

Any size from 16mm to 20mm will do.

You could add a jump ring on both ends so both strands of beads connect to the jump rings which would then connect to the clasp. I hope that helps!

Hi Michelle! Thank you so very much for your feedback!!!

Thank you so much!

+Dawn Smith Hi Dawn! By "popping", do you mean they are popping up out of the bracelet....or are they actually breaking? If they are popping up, it usually means they are fighting for space against the other beads so it may come down to your thread tension as you work. Sometimes you may need to loosen up the tension so the beads will naturally sit next to one another. If that doesn't work, you can just reinforce those beads that continue to pop up by running your needle and thread through them a second time to tighten them up between the leather. If they beads are "popping" and actually breaking when you are running the needle through them, you will need to use a thinner needle and thread. When you run out of string, you will need to "marry" new thread to your existing thread. This question has been asked before so I will copy and paste the instructions I've provided in the past right here: If you are making a 3, 4, or 5 wrap bracelet, you will run out of thread. We provide enough thread in our beading kits to complete the bracelet, but at some point as you are working, you will find you are running out of the thread and need to add more thread. Here is how I add thread when I start to run out while making a multi-wrap bracelet: When I'm nearing the end of my thread, I snip off my needle making sure to leave at least 4" of that original thread to work with. Next, I thread my needle on a NEW piece of thread, centering the needle on the thread so that I can work with the thread doubled. Then, I thread the needle through the last bead that I ended on making sure to go in the same direction as originally I added the bead (you have to hang on to the tails from the original thread so they don't get in the way as you do this)....so I'll draw my needle and NEW thread through that last bead (under both pieces of leather) pulling the thread through the bead to leave at least 4" of the NEW tails hanging out at the end. I then go back through that bead (over both pieces of leather) and then I will add at least 3 new beads, just like normal, making sure all 4 if the tails don't get in the way. [Basically, you are reinforcing the bead that you ended on because you are passing through it a total of 4 times (twice with the original thread, and twice with the new thread).] Adding at least 3 new beads helps create enough tension on that new thread, so when you tie knots, the thread won't pull out of the beads. Now, you can "marry" the ORIGINAL 4" tails to the NEW 4" tails. I tie one original tail to one new tail into a surgeon's knot, and repeat that for the other 2 tails. The knots should sit next to the beads as close as you can possibly make them so that they can be "camouflaged". Then, I glue the knots and wait until they are dry before I snip off all 4 pieces of tail. If you find an easier way to add thread, by all means, do whatever works for you. I just wanted to share my process since I do not illustrate this in the video tutorial.

+Shyam Sundar Hi Shyam! Thanks so much for the feedback!!

+Donna Faye Hi Donna! I think the thread burner plus the glue will work well. You can always glue again if you find the ends starting to fray. If I get my bracelet wet repeatedly, I find I need to re-glue the ends every now and again. :-)
