  • Learn how to make multi-colored stackable square knot bracelets. Got a question? OPEN FOR MORE INFORMATION...
    Want to learn how to add spikes to this bracelet? Watch the tutorial HERE: • DIY Spike Macramé Brac...
    SQUARE KNOT TUTORIAL: • How To Tie a SQUARE KNOT
    MATERIALS: All available from Michael's (or any craft supply store) -- waxed cotton cord, scissors, tape, ruler, clear nail polish
    CAN I USE EMBROIDERY FLOSS? I wouldn't recommend it. You need to use any type of cord with some thickness to it (waxed cotton cord, leather cord, hemp cord, etc.)
    CAN I USE YARN? Again, no. Use cord.
    INSTRUCTIONS:
    1. Cut a 66 inch piece of cord and an 18 inch piece of cord.
    2. Fold the long piece in half and tape it down. Tape the short piece on top.
    3. About 4-5 inches from the top, place another piece of tape. You will start knotting the bracelet beneath this point.
    4. Create square knots until your bracelet reaches the desired length. Confused about the square knot? Watch this tutorial: • How To Tie a SQUARE KNOT
    5. Cut off the right and left strands. Seal knots with clear polish.
    6. Even out the tails.
    7. Create an adjustable closure by overlapping the tails, securing with tape, and using a 12 inch piece of cord to create another square knot.
    8. Cut excess from the closure, seal with clear polish.
    9. Tie knots on the end of each tail (this secures the adjustable closure in place).

    I made one of platinum wire, and melted the ends into tiny beads. The 'tightness' of the slide is critical to making it work well and stay looking nice.

    Very clearly explained and good camera coverage/angles. Like the clear nail polish idea. Looks much nicer than burning. Good job! Thanks for sharing...this gave me an idea for a different project.

    @renae9853 9 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I just made mine out of parachute cord, turned out great. The size of my cord was 7.6m that's the small cord, not the big size cord. For my closure I used end caps the ones that you crimp down and 2 jump rings and a lobster clasp. I love it. I'm gonna get different color cords and make more.

  • @gizmokat10
    @gizmokat10 10 ปีที่แล้ว +39

    I had never actually done thus before because I thought it would be too hard, but I tried after watching this and it turned out really good!
    Tip:if you want a two tone bracelet, you can use a different colour for the middle strand. It ends up looking awesome!

    You can definitely use embroidery floss (what friendship bracelets are traditionally made out of). The knots might look a bit smaller, but the result is still the same.

    Thank you for this video. Thus project is so fun to do. I want to try this with some of the girls at the afterschool program I volunteer at. I tried this with yarn just now and it came out okay for my first time. I lost track of the pattern so if I look underneath my project it's missing some boxes lol Also the bracelet is too thin for my taste so if anyone decides to use this method with yarn it is best to double up. So for example the middle tail should have 2 strands. The same for the other strings we are crossing over the middle. So in total you'll have 6 strings but it will be 2,2,2. You would cross them as if there are only three strands you are working with.
