Clipboards are no longer necessary!

Instead of using clipboards or writing utensils to hold down my bracelets, I'm using cardboard. To do this, I just cut out a 6"x10" piece of cardboard usually from any type of box. Then, at the top of the cardboard cut-out, I cut a slit at the top to place the starter right in the center. Don't cut too much or else you're losing valuable places to make the rest of the bracelet. Last I just cut 6-10 slits at the bottom depending on how much string you're using for that bracelet. Place a single thread into each slit. It REALLY helped me get organized when I first started out and it still helps me keep everything in line with more complex patterns. So when you start just place the starter knot behind the first slit to secure it, and then place the individual strings like you would usually let them hang!

This is an amazing method! I use it for my really big and confusing bracelets because it helps me keep track of all my strings. :) |

i don't think they're no longer necessary. i only use cardboard to START my bracelets, then i switch to a clipboard. i hate starting on a clipboard and all the threads are all messed up and not seperated :) |
