Best “how to” friendship bracelet vid I’ve seen. Thank you!!
Very clear concise with not a lot of needless chatter. Perfect for someone with ADHD like myself. Love this video wish others would learn from you on how to make a DIY video that teaches a person exactly how to do something without endless blah blah blah lol. One of if not the best DIY videos ever made!!!!
Thanks for making this video! I’ve been having a problem with bracelets coming apart.
I love how simple and straight to the point this video was. Not confusing and was super easy to follow! Thank you!!
The example with the pink cord was really helpful thank you. Nice video
First video I found explaining the knot so clearly. Thank You.
Just starting to make bracelets.. this is the best tutorial I have seen. Thank you for going slow and showing how to tie the end with the big string … that really helped !!!! ❤
What an excellent video! You explain and demonstrate so well. Thank you so much!😁
Very helpful video thanks. I did the crimp bead over the knot and it looks great. Thanks for the tip.😊
Thank you so much! Awesome video and really appreciate the knot tutorial. 👌
Great video! Thanks for demonstrating tying the knot on larger rope. Looks like a strong knot.
This is 100% the best video for this out there. Thank you!
Thanks I have stretch magic 1mm and I am so glad I finally found someone to show me how to tie it well

I am so happy to have found your video!!!🎉 I used to make stretch bracelets...and they either stretched out or broke. So I stopped making them. But I've wanted to try it again and have been looking locally for a class. No success. Tried again today by doing an online search and TA-DA ...I found you. I feel excited to try again. Thank you. And I will be checking out your site.
This video is a lifesaver. Thank you!!!!
Thank you for this video. You are very fun and friendly and colorful.
Well explained, thank you.

Soo helpful ❤
Great video!!
Thank you for taking the time to use a thick rope to show the knotting steps more clear.
This was so helpful 👍🏾!
Not made any jewellery before after watching your video feel brave enough to try thank you Dor 😘
I've had 2 of my favorite bracelets break and go everywhere at church. It took me forever to find all the beads. I was worried a small child would find one. So this tutorial is excellent! Thank you!!
Thank you, sweetie! ❤🙏
great video ! wished I watched it before getting supplies...
This was so helpful! Thank you!!
Thank you.
excellent video
I love it! Thanks for the knot technique. Very helpful.
Question: Can I stretch the entire roll of the elastic or should only stretch what I need at the moment?
Thank you! for showing how to tie using the pink rope! it helped me ALOT!
Awesomeness 🌈🫶🏼🌻🫶🏼❤❤❤❤
This is such an incredibly helpful tutorial!! I wish I had watched it before making 25 bracelets for the Eras Tour show! 😬 I think I might take them all apart and redo them now so they don‘t break! 😂
I’m just starting my own small busdiness I love stench magic
You’re my savior 😭😭
Very nice lady thankyou x
Oh my gosh tysm. By bracelets always come apart. I do have one question though, instead of using that glue, would like a nail polish top coat work??
Thank you so much my beats don’t pop now, but I have one question what type of beads were you using the colorful ones
thank you one thing you didn't say were you brought your stretch thread at. maybe I might be able to find it at Walmart.
Can u please show the knots , for the adjustable bracelet, i think it's the square knot with the colorful large rope.Would be so helpful.
10:40 mark for the win!!
Your video is very straight forward & uncomplicated; yet fun!!!.thank you!! am new to the beading(world)
but want to learn...(keep getting headaches watching other videos (guess i'm not suppose to say that, 😜😜
I have alway wanted to make a bracelet🎉
Will the metal bead wear the elastic over time? Just wondered because it will not be a smooth as the beads.
What size are the crimp beads?
Are there any good hypo cement alternatives?
Can that knot work with doubled string?
I’m new to making bracelets. What I’m finding is using a needle with the elastic and seed beads, it ends up being too thick to go through the bead. I ended up just using my fingers, however, to make several bracelets at a time, it is so time consuming. Do you have any solutions? Thanks so much!
Do you have to use glue if you don’t have it or don’t have the money for it
How long did you make your string?
thank you. but my elastic knot does not hold when you put on your hand and is lose
how to hide the knots in smaller bead bracelets ?
Will the knot come open if you don’t use glue
I want to make several bracelets as gifts. How do I know how long my elastic should be & how many beads I need? I know it will be an estimate.
Measure your wrist or their wrist to compare. If you can’t guess compared to yours. Teh average length is 6in-8in
I didn’t pre-stretch my string for several bracelets I just made. Would you recommend remaking them to be safe? I’ve also been using the same string you are using but I doubled the string. What I have been worrying about with that is that the string weakens in the beading needle by the end of making it. A couple times the hoop that was looped in the needle snapped. I wish I could take a picture of what I’m trying to explain lol! I apologize I am a little sleep deprived hah!
This happens to me, too; I understand exactly what you mean! Wish I knew the solution!
the double sailors knot works on every practice thread and yarn i used but not the elastic string i have for my bracelets, why is this? it's a 1 milimeter thick, clear elastic thread
Can you please tell me where you purchase the g-s hypo cement glue?
Yes, it's available in our shop! Along with all of the other supplies you see here! Anything out of stock will come back into stock soon, so you can always go on the waitlist for any item you're waiting for. :) Here's the link to the glue: shop.theneonteaparty.com/collections/beading-jewelry-tools/products/g-s-hypo-cement Thank you!!
can guys use this stretch for bracelets ?? My hand size is extra large 10"-10 1/4 " at widest part when i close my hand as small as possible. Will it stretch easily enough..or will this max stretch cause it to break ??
You can cut off as much string as you need for any size. My niece and I make them together and hers are very small and would not fit my wrist so I use more string and more beads. You can even cut enough string off the spool to make a necklace.
Arm party😂
can anyone tell me what the strongest elastic is for this type of thing?
.8 doubled
I only have hot glue. Would that work as well?
Hi there!! Please do not use hot glue for this. You can burn your fingers and melt the string/beads! Glad you asked! -Marisa
The knot, you glue it, what happened? Before it's dry, what do you do with it? The beads are sticking together, I don't know what to do?
You do not need to glue them. Make 5 single knots and then 2 surgeon knots. It will not come apart. Before you start, pull the elastic as far as you can for FORTY times. This will take the slack out but not the stretch. Your bracelet will keep its shape forever. 😊
I don’t have any tape and scissors

This didn’t work for us. It fell apart and we followed instructions to the T. Any idea why? The knot comes loose immediately.
I think it depends on what brand of stretch elastic that is used.

This would be a great video, but your nails are such a mess it's extremely distracting.
Real life happens 😋
Thank you.
