Hi,

When I finish my bracelets they are perfectly flat. However, after wearing them for a while they usually start to curl up (so you don't really see the pattern anymore). Does anyone have any tips on preventing this? (before they start curling...)

You can always take them off and iron them. :) Just put a wet cloth between the iron and the bracelet.

Tape the bracelet flat down to a flat surface then place several heavy books ontop over night, works every time :3

So no one really has something you can do to it BEFORE wearing it, so that it never starts curling?

my mom once suggested I starch it you could try that.

Do you mean it curls length ways into a spiral or width ways into a candy cane shape?

width ways to a candy cane :) (Guess that goes well with a candy stripe pattern :P)

Oh, this has never happened to me so im not sure, the heavy book method and iron sounds a good idea

In a candy stripe either try knotting more loosely or push at the knots making the last fk go down a bit and it won't curl.

It doesn't curl after braiding. It's perfectly flat. After a while of wearing it it starts to curl.
