FISHBONE CHEVRON [CC] || Friendship Bracelets

[@MashaKnots]

Ok, so.. WOW this video got a lot of views fast! Thank you & I hope eveyone feels very welcome here! I though I would answer some FAQs & address some things. 🔸 The strings I used in this video are called Craft Cord by Loops & Threads 🔸 The strings were about 2 meters long (They then become 1 meter each when folded) 🔸 I show you how to make the loop here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moHGoXdjnpd3Zrc 🔸 I teach you all about knot types & how to make them here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHTPeIF6mNOXg8k 🔸 I teach you how to make the triangle end at the bottom of the bracelet here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmbWdYZ6eddoqK8 I've seen people commenting that the video is too fast & difficult for them to understand and I just want to address that. The target audience for this video are people who are already somewhat experienced in making bracelets, which is why the process of me making the knots is sped up - it is literally the most basic part of making a bracelet. However, if you feel you need a tutorial on how to make these knots in-depth, I would again suggest you watch a different video of mine where I teach you just that (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIjEfa2mnJuHd7c) People also seem to be annoyed that I split the instructions in separate videos rather than showing everything in one video. To that I say that this video is already 15 mins long as is. If I had included tutorials on everything I mention in one video, it would have been well over an hour long. Plus, I run a whole channel & I use the same techniques in several of my videos. Making one video & referencing it is much easier & much more convenient for both me & the viewer than demonstrating the same thing over & over again in every single video. And finally, I want to say thank you to everyone who has shown me love on this video & to everyone who has criticised/raised their concerns in a respectful manner. This was the first video I made in a very long time and it is your constructive criticism & my own self-reflection that has allowed me (and still allows me) to grow as a creator, so thank you. However, ❗❗ I do not tolerate any hate or verbal abuse on my channel ❗❗ If you express your concers/criticisms in a hateful manner, with name-calling and verbal abuse, you will be blocked from commenting on my channel. Making bracelets is a relaxing hobby for me & many others and I created this channel to be a safe space for everyone who joins. Sending me hateful comments & messages over a bracelet tutorial is absolutely ridiculous and will not be tolerated. I do, however, want to leave this on a pleasant note, so here's a video I suggest you watch after this one WATCH NEXT: 40 String Mega Bracelet ⏩ kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp3UeXaBltKLhJI

The forward and backward knots were just over/under hand knots ,right?

I remember making bracelets like this 25 years ago, we would pin the thread to our jeans and knot them during class, trying to avoid getting in trouble from the teachers. I didn’t know they were still a thing. Thanks for bringing back good memories!

I still do that in lectures :D

[@kiralipiec609]

That sounds really cool! I’m a pre-teen and love making these, although I stick to easier patterns cause I still suck at these lol. Kids at my school are charging a dollar or so to make bracelets for them. They are making the spiral ones I think.

[@updownstate]

You're so creative. Back in the 60's -- waaaay back in the 60's -- we were crazy for macrame, made things all the time. Never came anywhere close to a design like this. We made a lot of plant hangers though! Thank you for this vid.

I loved this video. I used to make friendship bracelets for all my friends when I was in 5th grade, way back in 1991! I used to just figure patterns like this out, but they'd never quite work. This is seriously art in it's execution. :)

[@MashaKnots]

Haha, it's true! I'm glad I could help :)

[@taylorfishback]

looking at this bracelet, it looks SUPER difficult. this video blew my mind, i never thought it’d be that simple!

[@lizday8140]

So pretty! And you have a great philosophy about the gratification of actually seeing the fruits of your creative labors. I am a life-long crafter, never met a craft I didn't like! I have even learned to tie my own fishnets! (Used in decorative macrame, rather than fishing, in my case.) When I make friendship bracelets, I use hand-made bobbin shuttles to wind the threads on. So much easier to keep them untangled, and faster to make your knots with! Just search "netting bobbins and shuttles" or "net making supplies" and you can buy them or easily make your own from plastic packaging or old gift cards! Many blessings to you, from Texas!

[@chrystalsouder3867]

I love how complexed this looks but yet so easy! I am so happy haha, I need to upload some of my friendship bracelet tutorials so I can be like you lol

[@fatimagarciaa]

I love making bracelets and have always tried to find something that looks so pretty but isn’t so complicated. This was very helpful thank you!!! :))))))

[@justrockthisworld]

To avoid the strings from knotting, I wrap the ends around a bobby/hair pin and secure it with the same bobby pin (if that makes sense) then I just release as much thread as I need. Not sure if it’s helpful for anyone, but for me it changed the way and speed I do bracelets and can have whatever length ☺️

[@andreabessman7531]

gosh just started my first alpha bracelet thought this one would be so much harder ive been trying to take on new hobbies making bracelets are my new passion love this thing!!!

[@jaelenemachado]

okay, you don’t know how much this helped me. i didn’t even know what segment knotting was and this video taught me it without you really going into detail about what it was and how to do it. i really appreciate your work and channel! never stop! ❤️

[@MashaKnots]

You're so welcome!

[@mariposa.2507]

Let me use this tutorial to say THANK YOU for all your tutorials! This bracelet is the most beautiful I have seen! You do a really really good job in teaching how to make alpha and normal patterns and all kind of this stuff! Спасибо большчое! :-)

[@carlyreisetter]

I don't know why I thought section knotting would be harder than row by row. This really demystified it for me. Thank you! This one is my next project!

[@SamanthaPortUkulele]

I'd seen this bracelet around on Reddit and NEVER would have imagined it's this simple. Thank you for the tutorial! Looking forward to making this once I get more thread.

[@sophiebug08r98]

She’s legit the reason I started making bracelets. Love it soooo muchhhhhh

[@cinapucci4346]

Hey thanks for the videos! I’m new to making bracelets but I found that black electrical tape works very well to hold down the bracelet. You can put a good amount of tension on it and peel it up and stick it down several times. It was all that I had. I’m not sure how the adhesive would treat different types of fabrics but I say you should give it a try!

[@meredithterry1978]

Thank you so much! Your video was very, very helpful! I tried to follow a pattern of this bracelet, but gave up when I couldn’t figure it out. You our video made it so very easy and I’m very excited to create one just like yours! You rock!!!!

[@yehudisr1692]

This video has a special place in my heart. I started making bracelets in 9th grade which was not a great time in my life, and knotting helped me cope. The fishbone chevron was the second bracelet I ever made, right after the chevron (as per your suggestion to start with the chevron) and that bracelet kept me sane. Because I used so many colors it took me forever, and it kept me going. Every single class I was knotting this. And I kept coming back to this video for tips, and I was also wondering how you filmed this so I kept coming back to the "tripod between my arms" thing as well. Also, I started making bracelets right when you started to revive your channel. I think I watched this video shortly after it came out, so I was here for the ride from the beginning. Now I'm a high school graduate taking a gap year and looking forward to starting college in the fall. I don't think I would be up to this point in my life without you and your videos, Masha. And guess what, I still keep up with the channel and I'm still knotting! (though albeit not as much because becoming older comes with more responsibilities) I'm actually revisiting this video because I'm remaking this bracelet 4 years later! Never stop creating, Masha. You and your bracelets bring a lot of joy into this world. Thank you so much for all you do.

[@MashaKnots]

You’re going to make me cry! Thank you so much for this comment, it really means a lot 🥲❤️

I know this a few months late, but I'm so happy your video was suggested to me! I've been randomly doing the normal chevron bracelets since middle school but never really knew any other fancy patterns. That changed today! Definitely going to be looking into the top teardrop loop as well as doing this design for my next project.

I Love this pattern!! Thank you so much for making tutorial. I made one for my 10year old niece and she love it. All of her friends are jealous:D This is relatively easy cause its chevrons and you actually explained it very well. If you guys thinks its complicated, try it with fewer colors. So instead of 11 colors try 7 or 9 colors. Ps: Sorry for my bad English.

My dad taught me how to make simple bracelets (chevron, diamond, the basics) when I was a kid and now my main goal is to impress him because I’ve already surpassed his level. Also I’ve never been one to go row by row, I’ve always done segment knotting. I guess it helps me see the shapes better.

I like the time lapses too but I especially love how deep you got there ! I actually want to use these to make ribbons to attach to the hems of sewing projects I make. Is there no way to attach more thread instead of trying to knot like 2 metres of thread I'd probably need for the hem ?
