Cute bracelet! One tip I learned from someone is, before cutting off the ends of your sliding-knot (a square knot) cords, dab a bit of clear-drying craft glue or adhesive such as E6000, in the divots between the knots in the sliding part--do not get glue on the bracelet cords themselves. If you don't glue this, the ends will unravel from the square knot. Then when glue dries, cut your ends off of the sliding knot, and voila! You're ready to go! Also, smearing a bit of glue on the ends of your cords before you start, then swiping the excess off, and allowing it to dry also turns the ends of your cords into "needles" and they go through the beads easier--same is true of clear nail polish. This is so handy for me, as I have arthritis and have difficulty getting cords to go through beads. Pretty design!
1st I'd like to say THANK YOU for making this so easy to understand. I appreciate the time you take to fully explain what your doing. I can't believe I finally learned how to make the bracelets I've loved for years. I never knew how until now. I make a lot of things with my granddaughter who's now 11 so this idea is perfect for her to make bff bracelets for her and her friends. I'll be making these as well. I'm so excited I can hardly wait to tell Skylie. Thank you for sharing. I'm looking forward to learning much more from your videos. ;-)
I made two of these bracelets but the second one I improved on. If you want to use literally any bead with any size bead hole, use two strands of beading thread on the inside, and leather, or cord on the outside, I used hemp. I used a cord end to start, and start with two seed beads to help it lay flat and not show the thinner string. Then you can use any size beads with any beadhole. Don’t forget two seed beads at the end of the thread and crimp it all together using cord ends. Maybe you could knot it, or even use a crimp bead and then do a slip knot. There are variations.
Saw these bracelets in several craft ideas pics & knew they couldn't be too hard to make. After looking around, your tutorial was the easiest to follow. Thanks!
Thank you SO much for this wonderful video. This zig zag subtle look has artistic dimension and sophistication plus that special knot allows different wrist measurements. You’re a GREAT teacher!!🌹❤️👍🌹
Thanks for the instructions!!! I used a sharp knife scraped over the end of the cord to separate the strands, cut half the strands off and used hypo cement on the remaining strands pulled through my fingers to make a pointy narrow stiff end, easy peasy to get it through the bead holes after that!
When I am stringing on a cord that frays, I rub a tiny bit of clear glue like Elmers, it dries quickly and holds up while you string. I also cut a slight angle on the tip so its pointed after the glue is dry. It would have been easier to pin down the ends of the string holding the beads so you could wrap the other more tightly. I love the Knotty Do It All board for this type of application.
Make sure to get beads with at least 1mm holes (if using 1mm cord) unless you want to go to the trouble of reaming them. .8mm cord might be easier to work with. Also could help to secure the 2 middle strings taut to the bottom of the board. Put a marker or something underneath to give space under the cords, so easier to knot around. Looks nice. Thank you.
Clear nail polish will flake over time which will peel off your work. Fray Chek is best (depending on what type of fiber you are using) to prevent fraying.
this is a super cute bracelet! one tip I learned was to make sure your beads weren't too big. like u said. my beads were really big and the holes were even bigger...long story short use SMALL beads;)
Nice bracelet. I'd like to make a suggestion that before you start threading your beads on the thread, paint the ends with clear nail enamel and let it dry. That will stop the fraying problem. Thanks
AH-MAZ-ING! Thank you So much for this tutorial! Making bracelets for my nieces and this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Very clear instructions and will be very easy to follow. I can't thank you enough for doing this for us!

Beautiful beads and design. My wrist is so scrawny [5"] that I wear most designs as an ankle bracelet or armband. It would be too sad to leave the center stone out.
So glad I found your vid ~ love the clear instructions and I’ll rewatch while making just to make sure I get it right! But it’s super cute ☺️ thank you!
@@livandvivdesignco I'm glad I found your video. 4 strands of cord/leather never occurred to me. I have a bunch of beads waiting to be paired in this style and now I know how to do it!
I finally got to making this bracelet, but quickly realized that the cord I ordered was 1.5mm. I bought Amazonite beads and center stone, which looked perfect. I can't find 1mm turquoise leather. Any idea where I could find something that would work? I'd appreciate your help.
I love this design. I used your links to get the beads and cord. I’m really struggling to get 4mm beads on this cord, and my cord broke when I tried to get it tight enough. Guess you have to use the 6mm and leave the cord looser.
the end connection what you call a "pretzel" is basically a "square knot" in macrame. A "sliding knot" would work too. Do you know pros and cons for either method? Thanks for making the video, looks like a fun bracelet to make. Hope to make it soon.
You are correct, it’s a square knot. The pretzel term seems to make more sense to my high school students 😀 They also prefer the look of the square knot to the sliding knot, which is why I generally opt for that one. A con for the square knot is it has a greater chance of coming undone over time versus the sliding knot. I’ve also heard from many that a double sliding knot is harder to put on one’s own wrist than the square knot. I hope that helps!
Muy bonita pulsera y se agradece la clase, pero esta muy largo y se hace tedioso ,haces cosas hermosas, ojalá los acortaras, muchas gracias, todo bello 🙋🏼♀️💜🌹
Yes, you certainly could! You would just need to use two pieces of cord instead of four, and I would at least double the length, plus add a little extra 😊

Wow, you did a great job explaining how to make this bracelet! Thank you so much😊❤
Clear nail polish on the ends of the cording will keep it from fraying without adding any size. Just let dry and bead away!
Great tip, thank you!
Clear nail polish will flake over time which will peel off your work. Fray Chek is best (depending on what type of fiber you are using) to prevent fraying.
Or melted candle wax - just dip the end and press it back to shape - it Wii easily slide through the hole ☺️
Thank for the tip
This bracelet is so beautiful 🤩 please make more videos like this with different styles for each video ❤🎉🎉🎉
this is a super cute bracelet! one tip I learned was to make sure your beads weren't too big. like u said. my beads were really big and the holes were even bigger...long story short use SMALL beads;)
This is the best instruction I’ve seen for a bracelet like this! I’m excited to try this today!!
Thank you glad I found your channel! 😊
thanks! this video is very helpful for repairing my broken bracelet.
I find your videos easy to follow and pleasing to listen to (as well as relaxing)… Thank you for sharing your knowledge 💕
Thank you so much!

Hahahahaha glad to help 😄
Nice bracelet. I'd like to make a suggestion that before you start threading your beads on the thread, paint the ends with clear nail enamel and let it dry. That will stop the fraying problem. Thanks
So smart and so easy... Thank you!!!

Instant thumbs up. Just a good vibe
Wow! A lot easier. I used memory wire to put my beads on. Thanks.
So I fell in love with this I did something a little bit different I used circular flat stones in the middle it beautiful!!!
Nice video! Easy to understand. Thanks!
Gorgeous!
Thanks i love to do things like that..
Love the bracelet 🤩🤩💜
Beautiful bracelet. Thank's for sharing the idea
I just finished two bracelets they came out awesome! Ty
That’s great to hear!!

So beautiful, thank you so much 😊
I am so excited to see a new tutorial for cording and beads! So boho and chic! Thanks!
Thanks so much, Sharion!
Thanks so much! Love this!
You are a good teacher!!! ♡
Thank you! 😃
To avoid fraying, brush a little clear UV nail polish on the end and to dry quickly, use a UV light - only takes a few seconds.
Fantastic explanation, easy to follow these simple instructions. Thank you!
