Freestyle Friendship Bracelet Design
“Hey everyone! It’s Kevin, aka AWOL, and today we’re diving into something a bit different—a freestyle friendship bracelet design using some leftover neon floss. With no set pattern in mind, I’m experimenting with chevrons, diamonds, dovetails, and more to see where the strings take me. I’ll walk you through each step, show you my process in GIMP, and share tips on how to keep track of your knots to avoid any pattern mishaps.
Join me as I figure out how this design unfolds, exploring how to create patterns with a balance of planning and spontaneity. From an offbeat chevron start to a unique center, this bracelet has it all—perfect for those who want to get creative with their bracelets!
