Do you love the convenience of a sliding knot on a bracelet or necklace but you don't like the look?

I love it. I had no idea that this was out there and I’m 66. Thank you for showing an old lady new tricks😂❤

Hey, hey, hey, if you're an old lady that means I am and I don't accept that! Ha ha. Thank you so much for your lovely comment.

Love this tutorial!!! been seeing lots of knotting on yt lately; but get more of how you are teaching it(love the necklace); just found your more videos & your store!!

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Thank you so much!!

[@Harleyrk99]

Great video, thank you for taking the time. There are so many bracelets out there with the strings hanging, is there anyway to take one of those bracelets and eliminate the strings somehow. Personally I cannot stand the way they look or the way they feel. Thank you again 🤠

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Hi Harley, not really because you need them to open the bracelet. Personally I don't like them either because they tickle my wrist. I would change the bracelet to a stretch one and eliminate the knot altogether. You might need to add an extra bead to do this though.

[@Harleyrk99]

@@The_Stylish_Maker Thank you vey much for your reply. I don't suppose you could make a video showing how to do that? 🤠

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

[@DeborahJohnson-bh9nd]

Pretty. I like the color of the string showing through the beads. Not fond of the 4 ends sticking out, however. Seems incongruous.

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Thank you Deborah. I agree about the ends. That's why I don't use sliding knots very much. Some people love the ease of them though.

[@floatingisland544]

Thanks for that demonstration. I will have to watch that a few more time though I can give that a go, but I'll give it a try. I don't know how to hide knots in small chips gemstone beads, they have such tiny holes.

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Thank you so much. The only way to hide a knot is with a larger holed bead. Gemstone chips would be used in exactly the same way if you can find cord thin enough to go through the holes, then use a smaller tube to hide the knot just like I did.

[@floatingisland544]

@@The_Stylish_Maker Thanks, the holes are pretty small, so I guess I'll have to settle for a knot between the chips. It's not too noticable and I don't mind it for myself, but when it's a present for someone I just want it to look perfect.

[@clairebacchi360]

I’ve been watching you for a while, and I love your designs, tips, advice etc. I’m just beginning to get into stringing with all wire, cords, etc. I am basically a bead weaver at heart but I am loving 🥰 stringing. Do you have a website where people can talk to you I.e. blog? Are you on Facebook? I would hope to be the first to sign up! I live in Florida and my name is Claire. I hope you have a great new year 🎉 as well.

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Hi Claire from Florida. Hello from New Zealand. I do have a website. I also do personal consultations via a zoom call if you are interested. Here's my website. www.affordablejewellerysupplies.co.nz/

[@karenlloyd2807]

I would have used a small bead to thread both strands through either side so you end up with just one strand either side... Maybe thays just me but a very useful tutorial- thank you!

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Thank you so much, Karen. Yes, that would have been ideal but I didn't have time to find a small bead with a hole big enough for the two strands.

[@janetodd832]

Lovely little bracelet and a great tip, thank you Carol 😊 The butterfly necklace looks stunning by the way, and I see you’ve made some matching earrings!

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Thank you so much, Jane. Yes, I made some matching earrings. I thought I might do a short a bit later of those. What do you think?

[@janetodd832]

Definitely, I’d love to see that. You can never have too many earrings (or too much jewellery, for that matter!) 💎✨

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

@@janetodd832 That is true!

[@vlclayproject]

I canNOT get my head around this knot no matter how many times I see it. 😓

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Hi Vicki, it's really hard to show on camera because you really need to hold it with your thumb and if I do that, you can't see anything. I did another tutorial where I used a sliding knot. Try this one. th-cam.com/video/pqm7F9C9ofc/w-d-xo.html

Thank you explaining the "why" it needs to be done a specific way! I truly enjoy your instruction!

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Thank you Ceila. I think it's important to know why you're doing something otherwise, why would you bother. Lol.

[@poppy998877]

Thanks Carol ,great tutorial , never thought about hiding the knot before ! Thanks from Wales , I've friends from South island NZ and your accent makes me homesick for beautiful NZ xx

Thank you x

First time I have seen this done. Amazing! Thank you 😊

Thank you so much, Charlotte. I haven't seen anyone else do it this way either. It just came to me one day when I was thinking about making a sliding knot bracelet.
