I've been trying to recreate this image: from this photo of a friendship bracelet someone else created: http://allicat-strike.tumblr.com/post/101740758084/finished-my-project-for-awesome-bracelets-today

I've already created a pattern: http://www.braceletbook.com/pattern_alpha/16714.html But I'm wanting to tweak it to look more like the photo and reduce the amount of strings used. Can anyone help me out?

One more thing, I'm wanting this pattern for myself. I am not into selling my bracelets so it would only be for my personal use. If that helps make things better.

Recreating a pattern is the same as stealing a pattern. You've clearly already done that by posting a pattern on BraceletBook, but we don't accept that here.
It doesn't matter if it's for your own use, we can't accept the pattern if it's too close to the original.
