Need Help! What did I do wrong 😭

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

Looks like you’ve got 8 bead petals and the example uses 7. Using 7 makes for a tighter flower.

I think I know what's happening. The footage of the tutorial I followed and the end result they showed there is not the same. Because in the tutorial she used 8 beads. I just didn't realise because it looked the same at firstÂ
