[@nanakapetanakos959]

Of all (quite a few) videos that I saw yours was the best. Thank you so, so, so much.

[@beadaholique]

This knot's tricky to show well on camera, we've filmed it several different ways and I'm not sure we ever got it perfectly easy to see. Glad to hear it was so helpful!

[@nehabhosale7284]

I love this

[@beadaholique]

Glad you like it!

[@marleneann4175]

Great video, thank you for the share. I'm going to start using this in some new designs instead of hardware:) Hope everyone has a great day and if your not....create something and maybe it will be better.

[@leslieyowell7239]

I like the security of going through all the loops way better than other designs of this technique.

[@Marcus_PG]

I was following this okay until 4:41 when I noticed that just before making the second knot the two ends are not tied to the pendant whereas when i looked at mine the two ends were not loose but tied to my pendant....? Not sure where I went wrong.

[@terryhunter8092]

Marcus PG Me too!

[@janette1694]

Same here we never done anything wrong but followed the tutorial ??

[@Marcus_PG]

@@janette1694 Lol, at least I know I was following it right! I found another tutorial that worked but can't recall where.

[@janette1694]

@@Marcus_PG beaded jewelry diva I found was easy enough to follow- even for me 😅😅

@@beadaholique hi my name is tasheena Osbourne and I will like to watch more and u come in Jamaica and teach like those

[@tashenaosbourne3405]

What kind of string do you use and I will like try with my friends and sall them to ppl

[@denisem1632]

Thanks, great tutorial.

[@tiffanystoppelmoor8226]

Do you also go through the loop at the beginning that you were holding?

[@beadaholique]

Yes, you do go through your starting loop too.

[@tiffanystoppelmoor8226]

Beadaholique thank you!!!!

[@gilmarafernandasilvanoguei9998]

Amei a dica do nó

[@Bycarola2019]

How do you finish the ends of the knots at the end?

[@Adi-zp8om]

Nice..by the way what size for rope did you use ma'am?

[@beadaholique]

Hi! This project uses 36 inches of Genuine Leather Cord, Round 1.5mm . Thanks for watching!

[@JaxUnboxed]

Is there a bail or something to use on one of these so you can interchange charms?

[@beadaholique]

Yes. For this style of knotted cord necklace I'd recommend something like this spacer bail. It's stylish but small so it won't steal focus from your charm beadaholique.com/collections/pendant-bails/products/tierracast-spacer-bail-hammered-with-loop-3x12mm-2-pieces-brass-oxide-finish

[@jessicasanabria0908]

How can I make a smaller necklace that will still fit over my head? Do I just add 6 inches to any length?

[@beadaholique]

To make this necklace that hangs as a 24 inch necklace we added 12 inches, starting with a total length of 36 inches. That's roughly 6 inches for the knots to travel and 6 inches to make the knots, with a little left over. Adding 12 inches is a good rule of thumb for using this technique to make common necklace sizes. Be sure to try it on before you cut the ends, if the size feels a little off you can always adjust the placement of the knots.

[@prasannachitturi5892]

Actually I want that leather thread used Since I have already my favourite LOCKET

[@beadaholique]

You can find the leather cord we used here on our site: beadaholique.com/products/genuine-leather-cord-round-1-5mm-by-the-yard-absinth

[@lindakae1635]

Is there a diagram of how to do this? The video doesn't show which 6" tail to loop and wrap around 3 strands. Very frustrating.

[@beadaholique]

Sorry we don't have diagram available for this. We do have some other videos on slide knots that might be helpful. This is our most popular one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH-ulHSYd553g6c

[@blinksbill1138]

I just tried it with suede and it would’ve worked but at the point where it was time to stress test it, I pulled the knots too tight and now they won’t budge. Word of caution. It you tighten them too much, good luck. I’m trying to loosen it but it’s only damaging the cord

[@blinksbill1138]

I wonder it there was a way to pull on a bead instead of a knot. Because the knot only gets tighter when opening and closing

[@edith5047]

Would you be able to use flat leather cords as well? Or does only round work

[@beadaholique]

I would not recommend it with flat leather because the smooth round surface is what helps it to slide. I fear that it might get stuck and not move well if it is flat.

[@maniok1977]

How is that possible? I can draw but can't make a knot!😆

[@beadaholique]

This can be a tough knot even for folks with a bit of experience, give yourself permission to try it a few times knowing it won't turn out right, you'll gain a better sense of how the material moves and how it's going wrong, and that will be what helps you figure it out in the end, even if it takes a bit.

[@carolpeloza4978]

Looking for instructions not to buy

[@beadaholique]

I can confirm our video covers instructions on how to make this necklace from start to finish. You can find more details about the materials here: beadaholique.com/search?type=product&q=Asian%20Coin%20Necklace&_=pf&pf_t_product_type=0-Product-Type%3AProject

[@moisesr7840]

I'll keep YouTubing elsewhere, it doesn't explain in details. It's easy for you cause you already know how to do it. But thanks

[@tashenaosbourne3405]

I will like to see buy my self that u can teach me

[@beadaholique]

Hi Tashena, if you'd like to start making these yourself here is the kind of cord we use: beadaholique.com/search?type=product&q=genuine+leather+cord%2C+round+1.5 Let me know if you have any other questions!

[@tashenaosbourne3405]

OK miss

[@tashenaosbourne3405]

So which part do u work that's me and my friends can come up there if is maypen and is a business me and my friends want do do it as miss

[@tashenaosbourne3405]

I am from a poor back ground so I don't have the money to buy these miss

[@beadaholique]

Sorry we're not in Jamaica, we're based in Los Angeles and unfortunately we don't have a store front there either, we can only sell online. If you're looking for less expensive material to make this sort of necklace we do have waxed cotton cord, which you can knot in the same way. Still expensive, but you get a lot more than with the leather so it's about 55 cents per yard: beadaholique.com/products/economy-waxed-cotton-necklace-cord-1-5mm-brown-10-yards-30-feet This sort of cord you can probably find lots of places near you too. Hardware and construction supply stores will sometimes have it.

[@oclove1503]

I WISH SHE COUL NAME EACH END AND THE CAMERA WAS ZOOMED OUT MORE. SO WE CAN SEE WHICH END OR TAIL LOOP SHE'S REFERRING TO... ITS HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHEN EVERYTHING ALMOST HAS THE SAME NAME N UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHICH SIDE SHE'S TALKING ABOUT... ON TO THE NEXT VIDEO TO FIGURE THIS OUT.

[@timpudleiner1972]

You make this very difficult by not explaining or showing the aspect of the lines!!!

[@beadaholique]

Hi Tim, sorry this video wasn't helpful for you, we don't always hit the mark but we're always interested in making these videos as clear as we can. Can you tell me a little more about what would have been helpful?
