Today we’re diving into pattern #2320 from friendship-bracelets.net… and wow, this one did NOT go the way I expected 😅 At first glance, it looks like a simple, beginner-friendly pattern — no zigzags, no crazy knots — but once you start mapping the string paths, …
Today we’re working with pattern 1889—just one digit away from the last pattern… but with a very different outcome 👀 This one builds on a similar structure, but instead of two diamonds, we get three, which changes how the colors flow through the design. So …
Today we’re taking pattern 1888 from friendship-bracelets.net… and completely rethinking it 👀 Instead of following the original 6-color setup, I break it down into 3 primary colors and rebuild the pattern from scratch to see what happens. And honestly? The result was… unexpected 😅 In …
Today we’re diving into pattern 2131 from friendship-bracelets.net… but not in the usual way 👀 Instead of just following it, I rebuild and redesign the pattern from scratch—adjusting spacing, simplifying zigzags, and figuring out how the colors actually flow. And honestly? This one turned out …
Today we’re doing something a little different. Instead of starting from scratch, we’re taking a pattern I already made — Pattern #1207 from friendship-bracelets.net — and experimenting with the colors. Originally, this bracelet was designed as a two-color pattern, but when I studied the string …
Today we’re experimenting with Pattern #1207 from friendship-bracelets.net, and right away something interesting shows up. At first glance it looks like a simple two-color bracelet, but once you start tracing the paths of the strings, it becomes clear there’s a lot more going on. The …
What happens if you mirror the shadows in friendship bracelet Pattern #27? 🤔 In this video, I experiment with flipping the pattern to create a radiating diamond illusion, where the light appears to shine from the center of the bracelet. The result could turn into …
Today we’re looking at Pattern 27 from friendship-bracelets.net, and this one brings up a really interesting challenge: It’s not symmetrical. Most friendship bracelet patterns mirror across the center line, which makes starting them pretty straightforward. But Pattern 27 doesn’t follow that rule—it’s offset, which means …
Today’s bracelet design challenge started with a simple problem: I had kumis already made with 18 strings, and I needed to find a pattern that would actually use them. So I went digging and found a much more complex pattern than the last one we …
Sometimes mistakes turn into new bracelet ideas. In a previous project, I accidentally cut more strings than I needed and they were already turned into a kumi, so taking them apart wasn’t really an option. Instead of wasting them, I went searching for a pattern …
After the last bracelet experiment turned out so well, I had to try the same idea again. Previously we flipped a pattern so the arrows pointed toward the center, and it created an amazing X-shaped focal point that looked even better than the original design. …
What happens when you flip a friendship bracelet pattern and turn the arrows inward instead of outward? 🤔 In this video, I revisit a pattern we created just a few days ago—but this time I rotate the design and experiment with the direction of the …
