How long is the string suppose to be for cuffs?

Deleted Account 6/30/2012 02:58 pm 3545

I am new at this and I recently made two but cut and tied each row without making one long string and other websites say not to do that... so if anyone can give me an idea of how long to make the string it would be much appreciated! winking winking

It depends on your preference. You could just tie it off every row. For example, if you had a 15 row cuff, there would be 15 pieces of string.

i do not use one continuous string for the simple reason that if it breaks it ALL breaks, and if you do it string by string, you can still salvage what is left.

There really isn't a "right" or "wrong" way of making kandi, just so long as it doesn't fall apart and it doesn't get in the way of the beads happy

P.S. There isn't really a right or wrong way of doing it. If you prefer to tie off after each row, do it. I just personally think it looks better and is safer to have as few knots as possible. Other people disagree and think having multiple strings is safer, lol.

I just use a piece of string that's as long as I'm comfortable working with, then tie more string on if I need it (using 3 knots). I've never had any cuffs break on me. I use the fabric-like elasticated string btw.
