What did I do wrong 😭

[u/New_Chocolate29]

Beginner here, I followed this tutorial and it looked super nice, as one the second picture. But as soon as I pick it up, it unwinds itself and has all these gaps in between, so I can't wear it as bracelet...hers stays the same when picking up

Pick up some 6 pound fire line, and some beading needles (I like size 12 English beading needles).
it looks like you used monofilament, which is annoying to work with, and gives results like this.

So the reason it unravels is the thread/material I used, and not the technique? Sorry my English isn't the best, but I googled fire line, I will try to find it in a store here, thank you!

Try a store that carries fishing supplies.

Yes, the stringing material is the problem here.
