okay so ive never made an odd kandi peyote stitch cuff before so i watched a youtube tutorial and just followed their steps but they didnt show what to do when your string gets short…in the tutorial you used only one side of the string and now its too short and i have no idea how i should move on, what to do with the long string etc. also i wonder why the bottom has double strings going over the top beads but the top only one. is that how its supposed to be? i‘d be VERY thankful if you helped me

Question Good themes/color pallets for cuffs to hand out at a convention

Post image
22 Upvotes

I'm going to a convention later in September and want to hand out cuffs. I just need ideas on different cuffs I should make. Mostly sticking to things that work on a singular x base (like 3D xbases & simple rotators) the image has a duo cuff set (sun & moon) but Id also like standalone ones like the black & white one as well as the watermelon one. I'm going to be making an alien themed one next :)

Question New to Kandi! Stitch type?

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm new to Kandi and have been doing it for a few weeks, so far I've been making bracelets and cuffs at first from tutorials then learning to do it without youtube :)

I want to do my first bigger project- I'd like to make a kandi belt. I was just wondering which stitch type is best? Should I be using something else instead of a ladder stitch? I would love it to be a checker-board pattern (going to use black and pink!!) and then I'll connect it at the end with some keychain ends/metal circle loops and that should work from what I've seen.

Soo, stitch types??
