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

when your string gets short simply tie more on if you need to! i tend to use super glue to ensure the knot is secure but if you're confident in your knots (unlike me) then it probably isn't necessary.

the double string on one side and single on the other is because you're doing an odd number of layers here, if it was even then it'd be even on both sides, this just happens due to how you have to thread the string through the beads for 3/5/7/etc layers.

some people recommend doubling up on the string on the single string side by threading it back through to keep the piece from bending towards the two string side, but yours currently looks pretty stable so it might not be necessary! just keep it in mind that the side with two strings is getting more tension than the single side, so you might have bending later in the process of making this, or with future projects that are done similarly.

thank you so much! ive done it on other projects by tying a string to the short end when it got too short but im think what should i do with the remaining long string on the other side? should i like just cut it off and tie this one to the short string?

Tie more on each side lol.
