Answer 1

Hi:

First off there are no stupid question except the one you don't ask. Two you come to the right place to find answers. We the Yahoo answerer's will try to answer your question to the best of our ability to do so and as long as it don't violate the Yahoo's rules of conduct. Okay. with that out the way,

I would crochet one. The first thing you do, is make a slip knot ( the easiest knot to make ) than put the crochet hook through it grabbing the other end of the yarn pull it though the knot ( this makes what we crocheter call a single knot)  and than push the hook through again hooking the other end of the knot and pulling it through that knot and you keep repeating the process until you have 30 to 50 single knots when doing than you make a extra knot than put the hook though the ending ( not the extra knot but the ending knot)  than put a single knot in all 30 or 50 single knot until you reach the end of it add a extra knot and go back though it until you reach what width you want then without making a extra turn the ends torward each other and put the hook through knot on the other end and pull the yarn thought it and keep repeating it until you reach the end of it  than leave a little extra lenght of yarn and cut it off ( this so you can tie it off) . You should have one crocheted bracelet. to make two; repeat this process  again  For more info; here are some websites :

Answer 2

for a bracelet, there's actually a special way to tie it so it doesnt come undone. unfortunately, it's just on the back of my string thing that i use, so i wouldnt really know... haha.

buttt. you tie it the same way you tie laces.

just hold the beads back, and then tie it.

the beads should stop it, like your shoes stop laces.

make sure to knot it a couple times so it won't get loose or anything.

hope i helped?

eeek.
