Finally someone slowed down and explained the knot easily - thank you! And thank you for demonstrating on darker cord - that helped tremendously!

[@Puglifemama101]

Thanks for taking the time to showing “ how to knot” no one else really shows how to do it well ❤️

[@sami2518]

Thank you for sharing. This is the best video I've seen for making stretch bracelets. It clearly explained how to make a surgeon knot.

I love the beads on these bracelet. I just bought some from Artbeads. I also like the way you attached a few beads that dangle.

Can you add a crimp bead cover over the stretchy corded knit?

As a jewelry maker myself I'm always looking for new ideas on how to make jewelry

Hello from Thailand I'm very interesting , thank you for sharing 😍🙏

[@craftycrafter1960]

great info, Ive been making paper beads and I want to string them on elastic cord. I have .8mm amd 1mm, I like the sturdiness of the 1mm but its not as stretchi either, almost seems a bit bulky. What do you suggest? Does it depend on the size of the bead hole as to what thickness of cord is best to use?

[@prami2]

wow! they r all nice! cud u plz tell me ,which elastic is thicker? 0.5 or 0.8?

[@macksun]

I don't know if her knots last or not but I would suggest to Aldo you to do at least two or 3 knots.

pretty

[@jenettesibayan2910]

Hi! May i know what kind of bead is that? Thank you💕

[@ArtbeadsVideos]

Is there a particular bead in the video you are looking for? Most of them are faceted rondelles: artbeads.com/faceted-round-rondelle/

[@josephinewhite5846]

I am getting on nicely but are puzzling me like the three way beaded bracelet

[@LadyBug-xp1ox]

What length do you typically make your bracelets?

[@ArtbeadsVideos]

Hi there! That really depends on your wrist size. With bracelets like these, you can check the length with your own wrist and finish the ends when it is the desired size. If you are making the bracelet for someone else, you can use the EZ bracelet mini sizer to make sure it is the proper size. Find this tool here: www.artbeads.com/tool-148.html. I hope this helps! - Becky

I don't want my bracelets to break so I want it to be so strong cause my stuff heavy. I hope you all can answer this. I have glass beads,and Chinese crystal beads and handmade clay beads that I mix and make. The clay beads are 16 or 18 cm and if it's necklace I'll use 16 and 18cm and small clay beads with glass and crystal beads between the big base clay beads so but a lot of Chinese crystals have small holes like you have in this video , what type of stretch magic cord can I use to make my bracelets that's thick and fat and holds easily and very strong and fits all the beads I need?? The 5mm and some others didn't work. I need it for my bussness.

[@ksuitter3513]

Skii Riettie careful with those clay beads they will rub and cut the elastic cording. Some inexpensive glass beads can be rough and tear up your elastic cord as well.

[@junetonelli4846]

I use 8mm stretch magic and I double the strand. You have to be careful with certain beads though.

[@annthornton9850]

I have made several stretchy bracelets, but I'm having problems with knots coming undone. I've made several knots in them using super glue and also waited several hours before wearing them, but they still manage somehow to come undone. Very discouraging!!
