How to tie off even rowed Kandi charm patterns?

sonic 3/16/2022 02:10 pm 687

Been planning on making some pronoun charms to sell around my school (to afford more kandi materials and some movie tickets) but I've noticed that most of patterns here end with an even number of rows, meaning instead of starting and ending with 2 beads on each side for the first row, you start with 2 beads and end with just one

I don't wanna add a random 2 beads to the end just to tie it off but I'm not sure what else to do? kao confused

If anybody could possibly give me ideas/tips on how to tie them off I would really appreciate it :3

@MallGoth: no that makes sense!!! And that's really clever, a little surprised I hadn't thought of that before! I'll try this method out when I make test runs :3

im not sure if this is what youre talking about, but when im making the foundation row for even peyote charms, i tie it before the end 1, and then add the single one, and then put the next bead of the next row onto each string, and then just string them through like regular peyote stitch ? im not sure if that makes sense lol

i usually weave the string to the inside of the charm, then wrap the end of the string around an already woven part and make a knot around that so the knot is hidden. if youre asking about starting the charm and the end is two beads instead of one, just tie it off and put the string through the end beads and weave that way. charms usually require a lot more weaving around than a regular peyote. i learned by watching some youtube videos on making charms
