For Christmas I want to make my friends some braclets.. I use clasps instead of tying the braclet to the wrist... I don't know how big some of my friends wrists are, so does anyone have some tips on how I could make the braclet so they could adjust it to their wrists???

have you heard of wrap-around bracelets? you braid for a bit and then make your pattern, all you friend has to do is tie the braids, it looks really pretty, and saves lots of string(and guessing!)

Well, if you want to use clasps, you could knot the bracelet a little shorter than the least length you expect their wrist to be. Then you could use ribbon clamps, and attach a clasp to one end and a chain to the other. Then your friend could clip it to wherever they want on the chain so it is the right length.

Thanks you guys for the comments i appriciate it :D

Also gerbilsrawesome, where could i get the clamps? do you know?

I think people have said they have gotten them at michaels, but others have bought them online. I'm not sure, I've never used them.

you can use the pulley system
braid both ends with over hand knots at the ends.
tie a piece of string 10'' long on both braids with 2 knots
make the chinese staircase for half an inch.
knot it off really tightly and cut the ends of
you should be able to pull the braids to adjust

The chinese staircase doesn't work as well. Hemp it- it's a series of knots that's a little more complicated than the chinese staircase, but works a lot better than the chinese staircase. I bet you can find a tutorial in the forum.
