How to tie elastic bracelets - loop in middle knot

[@dorisbonet619]

I’ve watched several videos on how to double the elastic and yours was the easiest by far thank you.

[@adalavin8648]

Thank you. I've never seen this way of making an elastic bracelet before. I'm going to use this fore sure. It's great. I've been making jewelry for 20+ years this proves there is always something new to learn!

[@pamelar3607]

I like this way ! I make bracelets all the time but I'm gonna make some this way too. Thanks for sharing. I've been making jewelry for 10 yrs & have watched 1000's of jewelry making videos & haven't ever seen this way.. awesome!!

[@melz3752]

Such a great trick. The will try making stretchy bracelets again now that I know a more secure way to knit it! Thank you

[@pamelagray9853]

Thank you so much. I’ve had a hard time with elastic and this looks like it is the answer to my problems.

[@creativefnk]

Excellent! Glad it was helpful! 🌻

[@MarlaHayden]

Thanks so much. I have been experiencing a problem with my knots not holding and I think this method plus the glue should help a lot. Excited for stronger bracelets.

[@theartisancompany]

I don't do much of this kind of work but this helps me a lot! Thanks for sharing!

[@deliacummings3245]

I've been searching for a secure knot for double stranded tila bead bracelets. My knots turn out so huge i can't hide them. This knot looks very compact. Will try. Thanks

[@printme2010]

Open ended needle??? MIND BLOWN!!!! Thank you!!!

[@thetripplec]

[@cartoonpete407]

I think it would be a nightmare with 2mm beads though 😅

[@Iceblueyes16]

Hands down best knot ever!!

Yay!! So glad my video is helpful! 🌻

#It's amazing that I don't have to buy all your materials because I literally have the same kit as yours and this creations of yours are amazing!

[@tsmeman63]

I always secure the knots with (transparent) Bondic glue. It’s not sticky when applied, but seals (hardens) in seconds by using the black light that’s on the other end of the glue stick. I can even cut off the extra thread very close to the knot. You can wear the bracelet right away! Bondic isn’t cheap, but sooooo worth it, as you only need a tiny bit.

[@creativefnk]

Thanks for the tip! I will have to try that ✨🌻

Brilliant! Thank you!

[@sohankaur6855]

I did not know about the divided nedle and is the solution I was looking for. Thank you. ❤

[@tbabyikotun137]

If you buy a good gauge reel of fishing wire, you can cut off loads of divided needles whenever you need them.

[@lifeisgood7740]

Thank you so much for this easy technique. I make elastic bracelets and stretch the elastic. I put beads on for 7”. I struggle here as my bracelet turns out bigger when I stretch the four strings after tying off. Any ideas as to what I may be doing? Thank you.

[@creativefnk]

Hi lovely! That is interesting I haven’t had that problem! Sounds like the elastic is not tight enough and may be stretching. So making sure you are pre-stretching your elastic really well before starting and then when you tie the knot, make sure the elastic is pulled through as far/tight as you can before tightening the knot. Good luck 🌻💫

Where to get a "open ended needle?" Never heard of that..🤔

Make your own with beading wire like Soft Flex. Make it in a “V” however long you want.

[@kcwyo]

It's been a couple of years but I think I got mine on Amazon or maybe Joann's.

[@chunkyclaydesigns]

I buy needle packs from temu and cut the end off to make an open needle. I use them to string gemstone beads as well as fashion beads. They’re great for what I need them for!

[@WHOSENTYUH]

😮 WHY HAVENT I THOUGHT BOUT USING CLIPS TO KEEP BEADS IN PLACE WOW WE DO LEARN URDAY 😂😂😂😂

Hi, nice knot. I want to know how thick you use elasric? 0.4mm or 0.5mm? Thanks

[@creativefnk]

Hiya! This is 0.7mm 🌻✨

[@jintonic9969]

Would it be stronger than the two cords tied all together as if they are one cord?😮

Çok değerli çok açıklayıcı bilgi👏👏👏paylaşım için teşekkürler☺️🥰 🙏⚘️❣️

[@martin7878]

Thank You!! Great tip and I just made that knot on a bracelet.

[@lizziedae91]

I was curious as to the reason for looping the left side twice and the right side once.

[@CritterGal68]

It’s called a surgeon’s knot - that extra “twist” helps lock in the knot better than simple overhand knot. Very effective. BUT, the more you bend/knot a line, the weaker it becomes. Technically, a SINGLE surgeon’s knot w/ dab of hypo-cement is ideal.

[@bored1075]

thanks ❤ how that glue called?

[@aumi.jewels]

The only problem with this stretch bracelet, it is hard to find elastic stretch that can be doubled stringed for gemstones that are .05… Most all of my gym strings are less than 1 mm. I do have 1 mm beats and 2 mm beats but most likely I will use those for leather. I’m actually a professional metalsmith instructor and I do love beating as well. I do not teach it. But I cannot find anywhere smaller retch elastic string. Hobby lobby, Joannes, Michael’s. Etc… are there some places I can look online.? Because it would be nice to be able to use your way that you tie or knot…???????

[@swiftett75]

What glue do you use please

[@creativefnk]

Hypo cement jewellery glue 👍💫

[@dreeemer]

​@@creativefnkis the glue a big difference-maker?

[@robcorke9325]

The one downside I can see to this knot is that it will be a little less than the strength of one strand. So stiffness-wise it might be feel the same as a double strand, but strength-wise it less than half.

[@darleenworkshop270]

Thanks for sharing 😊

[@zeinabk2747]

Hi there Could you let me know the name of equipment and where shall I get them from please Many thanks 🙏

I tried this method but the bead holes weren't big enough for 2 strands + the needle.

[@mregister3945]

I cannot find an answer. WHERE can I find a needle such as the one you used?

[@creativefnk]

I cut the end off a beading needle that is joined on both ends! Because I needed one to go through the loop. You can just buy beading needles and snip the end off

[@mregister3945]

@@creativefnk thank you. 🙃

[@Arizona_lilly]

I been using stretchy fiber ones but the fibers start to split and thin

[@creativefnk]

Yes that’s why I don’t use the fibre ones, I find a quality elastic the best 🌻💫

[@bevmacmillan7079]

Please tell us where to get this needle. None on Amazon

[@craftynan2121]

Not sure what country you're in, I'm in the UK but if you type beading needle onto Amazon there's hundreds of choices

[@susanrichard329]

Or, you can make one yourself with beading wire. Cut a piece twice the finished length you want, fold in half into a “V”, then cut it. Keep in mind the size holes in the beads you’re working with to determine what size wire to use.

[@donnah5378]
