FEAR 0 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 This has been running through my mind lately and I want to know how do other people measure string for their multi's and etc. etc. For me singles are just wrap the string around my wrist once and then give a little extra so tying it off would be easier. For multi's I wrap it, I think....haven't done any in a long time, 3 times around my arm for 1 row. Peyote.....psssh yeah right measure string length? So how do you do it?

Afro-Nitr0 5 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 How many times i can wrap it around my hand. I like to be able to wrap it twice, and then hold it, that works best for me =D. Makes it easy to shotguns and do other stuff lol Link to post Share on other sites

Kimba 0 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 I usually do the same thing; loop it around my wrist then add some extra room for tying off. It always feels like I'm wasting string, though... Link to post Share on other sites
DreiHarteZero 0 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Yeah, there is no real easy way. For singles, I string the beads on, tie off the end, then cut off the excess string. minimizes waste. Link to post Share on other sites
MaTRixX 0 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 i dnt measure at all, well not for singles. the method i use, is to organize the beads and then put it on the string without cutting it off from the bead-string-circle-thing. and then i wrap it around my wrist to see if it fits. then i cut it.

SugarLacedLie 0 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I just guess really. Unless I'm making one for my boyfriend. Then I have to wait until I'm with him so I can measure his wrist. Link to post Share on other sites
