Thank you for your patterns. I was able to make a couple of them with what I had on hand. but I do have to let you know that I had to go somewhere else to learn how to make the macrame square knot. I needed it broken down more simply.
Sliding knot closures are so fun, a bit tricky but so satisfying when you've got it down. We've also got another video on a similar style of sliding knot that might be helpful to learn from: beadaholique.com/products/how-to-make-a-strung-cord-bracelet-with-a-sliding-square-knot-clasp
I've enjoyed this video. The bracelet is quick and easy. I have so many seed needs, now I'm going to make these bracelets. Thanks for sharing this video.
They shouldn't dull over time, but we also recommend thread snips for wax cord. You can find them here: beadaholique.com/search?type=product&q=thread+snips
That's a good question. I don't think we've needed to replace or sharpen any of the Tronex tools in our design space since we started using them 3 or 4 years ago, but we don't use them for anything too demanding like metal sheering or manufacturing so I"m not surprised we haven't had this problem until now. If you find yours become dull from work I'd suggest talking to Tronex, they have a reconditioning and repair service tronex.descoindustries.com/Reconditioning-Repair-Service.aspx
Hello Kat, where do I find the demo video you just mentioned at the end, with the sliding knot for a bracelet. It's what I am trying to make but with not too much success....
Hi Gabrielle, here's our video on that other bracelet we showed at the end of this tutorial, we show how to make a sliding knot in the last third or so of the video: beadaholique.com/products/how-to-make-a-triple-strand-braid-with-waxed-brazilian-cord
It's tricky isn't it. I wish there were better options with color coded handles available. We like this sort of organization rack for our pliers,, it helps having the tips easy to see: beadaholique.com/products/wooden-plier-and-tweezers-stand-tool-rack-for-jewelers-holds-12-pliers
This is what I wanted to know. Thanks!

This is one of our favorite uses for those few spare seed beads at the bottom of a tube. Have fun with it!
Very sweet. Thanks Kat. Blessings.
Thanks Bev, wonderful to have you watching!
This was super helpful🙏🙏
"Just A suggestion "when using that type of sting tiny rope coat with clear nail polish over the cut ends, it helps to insert the bead better.❤
Great tip! Thank you!
If you want to anklet what size wax threads do you cut
I would follow the same instructions as the bracelet and add an extra 12 inches to be safe. An anklet is not too much larger than a regular bracelet.
How do you sharpen your flush cutters?
You know, I have never attempted to sharpen them. You could maybe ask someone who sharpens knives? It's a good question.
I have the same flush cutters for wire and was afraid to use them on wax cord/fiber. Will the cord dull the edge?
They shouldn't dull over time, but we also recommend thread snips for wax cord. You can find them here: beadaholique.com/search?type=product&q=thread+snips
Hello, what happens if you just do a half square knot between each bead?
The cord will twist in a spiral like this:

Thank you very much for your tutorial! I love it!👍🏻🤗
Thanks Susanne!

Thank you, it was already on my list to watch and learn...😀👩
@@gabrielledeustuahochmuth6574 Hope you like it!
Couldn't you have added several more beads? I'm aiming to use as much as I can use as my beads are healing beads.
Sure you could. you could even double the length of the bracelet and a wrap around. It's a good thought)
Cute!!
Isn't it? I love how purple that thread is, fun color to work with.
Great info, thanks :)
Thanks, glad to have you watching!
i have so many plyers ect cant tell most apart
