ignore the colors, i just chose them to practice with

so it kinda very slightly gets bigger the more i go on even if i'm tightening it ? am i just not tightening it enough ? also i think i made an extra row on accident, but it's so hard for me to tell i swear every time i watch a tutorial i'm just like *squints*

it also kinda looks like if i took the last row off it would be pretty even but idk... i am just gonna take it apart and use it to write down how many beads and how long string i need to make them and then practice again but somebody please tell me if i made too many rows for a two x base cuff 513b55c71219e_kao_cry.gif

thanks for your help purpleghost219 and Sh4mp00_T4st3s_B4d ! heres how my second try turned out, and the purugly i plan to attach to the finished 3d cuff ! (link bc my image keeps disappearing fsr)


i'll probably redo it entirely one day since the string i used isnt great. but hey... not bad

add two beads on your last row, just like you did your first row! this should normally pull it back together so it doesn't get wider laughing

(it will always get wider as you make it, but adding two not three then pulling v tight should pull it back to the same width)

so if you wanna make a two row x base cuff, remove that layer and where it was just do the final row of 2 beads like on the base. And yes it does get bigger but then once you close it up on the top it sorts itself out. Keep watching the tutorials and don’t worry, you got this!!! rainbowsmile
