What do you use to hold down your bracelet when you make it?

Right now I've been just pining them to my pants with a safety pin, but with the more complicated patterns it gets really hard. Or sometimes I don't tie the bracelet until the end to make ends for it.

you could make a knot with all the threads (that's easily undone) - leaving enough thread to make braids or a macrame ending - and still pin them to your pants with a safety pin. If you are making a gbracelet that is really wide, then just divide your threads in hald and make two big knots, using two safety pins and pinning them close to each other. |

I use a clipboard. I used to swear by the safety pin to my pants method, but the clipboard is so much nicer on my back. It also makes bigger patterns much easier. |

My jeans were really used after a while :-) So now I use an old sweat band (like tennis players use, for example) and put that around my legs. Never thought about using a clipboard. That's a good idea! Thanks. |

I use a clipboard. It has two pocket which I can put unfinished bracelets in. I carry it with me almost everywhere. It's not to big and easy to use |

How do you keep the clip board from moving when you pull the knots tight? |

I just tape the end to a table and sit down and tie the whole bracelet. It is easy that way. |

Mine sits still in my lap. I was really worried it'd move a lot, but I started using it a week ago. The clipboard doesn't move, and my bracelets come out much nicer. It's also easier to replace threads with a clipboard. |

i loosely knot the end of it for the first two or three layers then undo the knot so i can do whatever i want to the ends of them.
