Hey!
I've been making bracelets for several years now, and I've been using one technique to attach my bracelets when I'm finished with them. However, as I venture into the bigger bracelets with more threads this technique doesn't work very well.
I've been tying a loop at the top of my bracelets and then braiding the ends together when I'm finished so I can tie the braids together through the loop.
How do you make attachments for your bracelet? I appreciate any tips. :)
Thank you,
GE.

For me, button closures work really well with bigger bracelets, and they're easier to put on and take off. If I dont feel like searching for a cute button, I usually go for two braids on either end but I find it can get bulky with two big knots and the leftover braids.
I've heard some people prefer sliding knots but I've never tried those so I can't give my experience on that.
There are lots of good tutorials on here on bracelet closures I'm sure you can find something that works for you. Good luck!

Some ideas :-)
Some have braids on both sides (start and finish are exact the same), the ones with only a loop (or two) have two braids as endings. And the three big ones have a button on the other end.
I love experimenting with different endings... ;-))

I also usually try to get rid of strings before I make braids, to avoid those bulky braids :-)

These are very helpful! Is there a name for these attachments so I can find a tutorial for them? Thank you both so much.

Here are a tutorials for some of them:

buttonhole

loop-and-braid

shaped starts

basics of shaping

Most of my starts/endings use the shaping technique.

This is the closure that I use especially since my wrists are small.
