Hi! Today/tonight ill be showing you how to make a mini rotator cuff :3
Step 1
First things First, we get our string! We want our string thick, but not too thick, and we want it to be stretch string :> i dont know exactly how much string to get since I dont measure how much string I use, so id use ALOT of string. If you have the string I have, use the middle string!
Step 2
After you have your string, put as many beads you want in this pattern! If im doing a dual colored one, id have it an even number, for example, im using this single pattern 10 times for this base :> the colors are optional, but the third color which is the pink one has to be a different color from the other ones
Step 3
After you've made the base, it should look like this! REMEMBER TO PUT A DIFFERENT COLORED BEAD AT THE END!
Step 4
And then tie it like a single! I recommend tying it 3-4 times :>
Step 5
Cut the string im pointing to, DONT CUT THE LONG STRING!!
Step 6
We want the string pointing out of one of the opposite colored beads, it its not sticking out of one of those beads, thread your string to the nearest one!
Step 7
Add 3 beads on the long part of your string, its your choice on the pattern!
Step 8
While we have our 3 beads on the string, feed your end of the string to the opposite colored bead beside it, make sure your string doesnt go over the bead that you were on!
Step 9
And then pull the end of your string all the way through! After you pull your string, it should look like this!
Step 10
Continue what you just did all around the single
Step 11
Once you have your single like this, were going to do it a little differently
Step 12
Put your string through the bead we have been putting it through around the single(the different colored one)
Step 13
And you also have to feed the string through the two beads beside it so it goes to the top of the triangle
Step 14
On this part, we replace the color of the tip on the triangle into the color we used for the opposite color we used for the single. For me, I used light pink before as you could see, and now, im using a clear pink :>
Step 15
And then we basically do the exact same thing around the cuff
Step 16
And then when were on this part we do the same thing, feed string through the bead we have been, and then put it through the 2 beads so it goes up the point
Step 17
It should look like this now
Step 18
This time we take 2 beads and the put it through the opposite colored bead like before
Step 19
First it'll look weird and loose, but if you pull it tight and fully around the cuff, it'll look like a cuff if thwt makes sense
Step 20
We put the string through the last bead
Step 21
And you've officially made an x base cuff! And then we will tie it off but DO NOT CUT ANYTHING
Step 22
Put the string through this little hole between the top and the x
Step 23
Pull until you get a circle thing like this
Step 24
Put the string through the thingy and pull :3 this is how to tie it, and I personally like to tie it 2-3 times
Step 25
AND YOU TIED IT! DONT CUT ANYTHING OFF
Step 26
Now for the spikes! Get 5 beads in a pattern, remember! The middle bead is the point
Step 27
Put the string to the bead im pointing at(Pink bead)
Step 28
It should look like this, and then continue that process all around the cuff
Step 29
SPIKESSS
Step 30
On the last part, feed the string through this bead (where my thumb is pointing to)
Step 31
It should look like this, and then pull
Step 32
Top strings done! Now onto the bottom
Step 33
It's a bit hard to explain, but we're going to feed the string down the beads until you get to one of the opposite colored beads(clear pink for me)
Step 34
Then do the same thing we did before again
Step 35
WERE ALMOST DONE!! all you do is get your spike pattern again and feed it through the bead we have been putting it through
Step 36
Take this pic as an example, not the bead in the spike but the pink bead below it
Step 37
YAY WERE SO CLOSE TO BEING DONE
Step 38
Stick your string through this hole
Step 39
Make sure you get this circle thing again
Step 40
Feed the string through the hole, pull, and repeat 2-3 more times
Step 41
FAHHHH MY STRING BROKE 💔😭
Step 42
Anyways, cut the string off after your done tying it, and make a big single
Step 43
Take this as an example for the amount of beads you need for the single if your following along
Step 44
This is the single I made for the cuff
Step 45
And here is the finished product!!
