how to begin 30 string bracelet? by meercatred 7 years ago

I'm trying my first 30 string bracelet, but wen I start the strings get mixed up and bumpy. How do I get a nice smooth start? Thanks!!!

There are several ways. My favorites are shaped starts, like a shaped bracelet, or taping the strings down in the right order. I lately use a piece of cardboard with slices in it to help keep the strings from sliding away when making the first knots.
You can also split the strings in 3 times 10 strings, and first make 3 separate triangles with these before connecting them.
