How to Make a Shambhala Bracelet, Part III: Sliding Knot Clasp

[@AnneMacA]

I've watched several different videos for a sliding knot and all had me confused and stressed. Beadaholique, you've come through again! This is so simple and effective. Thank you. 🌺

[@beckybuchko9067]

It would have been a better video if you took the extra few seconds to show how to finish off the knot clasp.

[@tobeamiss1]

Yes, because NOW I'm looking for that video...

[@cuddlesdoll5346]

Exactly

[@JinJinDoe]

Amen..

[@katedwards3528]

Agreed

[@priseela1575]

😂

[@jb-hw8ee]

I also agree that a complete video would be nice. However, it's also nice on these short videos to easily rewind and watch specific parts over and over until you master the technique. Thanks for the lesson! It was really helpful!!

[@errorcode847]

I thought that the video made perfect sense. I didn't know how to make them, now I do and I just applied it to a macrame bracelet that I made. I don't know why other people don't get it. Thank you!

[@piratelady6467]

❤ this is so clear and easy to understand! Thanks 😊

[@marsbeads]

why not make a complete video, instead of making us search for the rest of the needed info?

[@beadaholique]

+marsbeads We've moved to shooting longer complete videos for most of our tutorials over the years but we've kept this older series up as it's proven pretty popular. Here's the first two in the series: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqPKdoV7gc-Gabc kzbin.info/www/bejne/manYhJRpraqsjtk

[@marsbeads]

+Beadaholique 👍

[@nozomisato5053]

I want it to slow down... I can't even catch up while I'm doing it

[@babyspots7561]

marsbeads right

[@Stelvei]

@@beadaholique It would be beneficial to put these links in the description of all three parts. It makes it easier to find.

[@blackbeauty5479]

Despite the complaints....I love this short video. It helps with the basic concept. Thanks for taking the time to do a video at all...because I had no idea how this works. Now when looking at bracelet ideas i could incorporate this technique...or just go to your other videos. THANKS A BUNCH!!!

[@epicdancer3436]

thanks I keep on forgetting how to do this and this is quick and easy!!!!

[@skyalicejessi]

I love this, its clever, will practice making this, cant wait to add some pretty beads to it

[@Milliondollarhealer]

So thankful for the skills I learned from this video ✨✨something said birdie lol

[@Linzardb]

a little annoyed that you couldnt just show how to finish it AND didnt post a link to the video that shows you how

[@beadaholique]

The links are located in the video description located underneath this video.

[@RoxylouEOG]

Beadaholique I see the links, after logging in, but there is not a video on how to finish the knot. I see one video has the word finishing in it, but it's just this same video. What do I do with the ends left hanging after the knot is made?

[@beadaholique]

Roxanne Rogers Part II of this series is Finishing Macrame Knotting, and it is a separate video on how to finish the knots. www.beadaholique.com/t-video-How-To-Finish-Macrame-Knotting.aspx?KZbin& Braiding and Knotting Techniques www.beadaholique.com/t-ba-videos-braiding-and-knotting-techniques.aspx?KZbin&

[@rowenacat]

Beadaholique it's a great video but I agree that it's hard to find the next video to watch...have to keep jumping from video to video and the finishing one doesn't show what to do with the last two strands?

[@voodoodolly]

Yeah, video sucked

[@poonamkapoor9912]

thanks for sharing with us.i see many videos for sliding not but i did'nt get any but when i seen your video i loved. once again thanks.

[@jmitzy10]

Thank you for all your clear instructions. Have made 4 bracelets to give as presents and no one believes I made them myself and didn't buy them. Thank you for helping a beginner make impressive professional looking bracelets. I added to it by threading a bead on the end of each centre thread which looks awesome

[@anzzbanannz]

Omg I wanted to know how to do this for the last and I was searching ur videous for 1 but u didnt have 1 and now this comes to my subscription box, its like u read my mind :D

[@brittanyvalliant9135]

Why would anyone dislike this video?. Its more clear and better then all the other tutorials that I was looking through on KZbin. Haters gonna hate. Awesome!! Thanxxx :D

[@LindsayC33]

really dumb how you say “go watch another video to see how to finish the macrame knot” it would have taken you less than a minute to explain it and show it. so i wouldn’t consider this a tutorial.

[@thriftthick]

Wow, I had no idea this was so easy to create!! Thank you so much for the tutorial :)

[@kealohilanik.3148]

Same! If I had known I would have been doing it this way all these years!

[@MrDaveyboyy]

Just ordered a bracelet ....and ill be trying to make my own soon.

[@RajivJadhav]

too fast. not clear sequence of cords in the square knot. very hard to follow.

[@cuddlesdoll5346]

That's exactly what I was thinking got a headache just watching. This illistration was very frustrating I went elsewhere. Wouldn't recommend this video to anyone.

[@RoxylouEOG]

Very frustrating trying to find the video showing how to finish the knot. I have watched three videos now, including the one called, How to Make a Shambhala Bracelet, Part II: Macrame Knot Finishing and there are no instructions. It just says you can learn it in another video but the link is not posted. Why hide such a basic part of the process??????

[@TheBrightOwl]

Awesome! No other vid shows a good ending to this :( THANK YOU!

[@veronicawicker5273]

I love your tutorials. I have learned so much! But I actually I think it would be worth it to remake this tutorial. Your newer videos look so much nicer with better lighting.

[@cleoandlucy]

AWWWWW THANKL YOU!!!!! I've been looking for this!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR SHOWING HOW TO DO ITT!!!!!!!!

[@robynrainwater]

Making a full instruction of this would be better than continually having to go to another video for sections. This is not usable. Sorry.

[@wendybenito7811]

I absolutely agree! Most irritating. What does Beadaholique get out of forcing the viewer to look elsewhere?

[@voodoodolly]

Yep! I just said same!

[@cuddlesdoll5346]

Agreed

[@RebeccaDhillon]

How can I get one of the string back through that knot? I’m trying to thread it through with a needle but it’s too tight and the knot is glued in place

[@freestancelowkey8431]

First time doing this, this is fun!

[@leemom21]

I have a Lavastone bracelet with a sliding macramé clasp. The bracelet has broken in the middle. I would like to save the clasp. How do I restring it? Thank you!

[@beadaholique]

oh! Hmm.. Has the string actually broken? You might need to start over if that's the case.

[@beadaholique]

I haven't seen that before, and I'm really not sure how to make it work. It would have to be something that I experimented with and might take quite a bit of my own trial and error too. I'll put it on my list and see if I can figure it out.

[@jimmieburgess8543]

It would be wonderful to show the entire project, including on how the finish it. I have no idea on how to get the entire bracelet done.

[@beadaholique]

These are the available instructions we have. www.beadaholique.com/ruby-slippers-shambhala-bracelet.html

[@juliapeppo8362]

Thank you!! I have 4 diamond bracelets with these clasps, and they are starting to unravel. I don't want to take them back, because I love them, so I want to learn how to fix them:)

[@marisarogers6444]

If you had 2 strings that were within the knot and they came out how would you go about getting them back in so you can wear the bracelet?

[@beadaholique]

Since the knot needs to be tight to work properly, I'd say you would probably need to remove the old knot and tie a new one.

[@ked0564]

Brilliantly simple!Many thanks. Pleased with my first effort :)

[@beadaholique]

We are so glad to hear! Thanks for watching.

[@farahshimi9719]

I like your tutorial! I have a question though! I just bought like a shambhala bracelet that has a sliding knot clasp.. my wrist is too thin that it needs to be tightened more, how can I fix it? what can I do in regards to the knots and all? Thanks!

[@beadaholique]

There are so many different types of cord that are called "gimp" that I'm not sure which type you are asking about. I haven't tried a twisted braided cord for this type of knot work. You could definitely experiment with it. I do know that most smooth cords will work. You'll also want to be aware of how thick your cords are because your work could get quite bulky, and you'll want to make sure that your beads will fit over your center cord.

[@carlajanedona3178]

What kind of string was that you used on the video? And where can I buy such? Thanks.

[@Daidan011]

Thanks for the tutorial, going to try and make one tomorrow

[@cawobeth]

Megan, do you know how to make the round one of the same type ? Good instruction. :)

[@beadaholique]

Elizabeth O Hi, Megan is no longer with the company but I can add your request to our video request board - thanks!

[@beadaholique]

Do you mean that you'd like to add a bead to the end of the cord that sticks out from the knotted clasp? If you'd like to do that, you'll need to make sure that you leave a long enough piece of cord to tie some extra knots into it. Tie an overhand knot about 2" from the end of the sliding knot clasp, add your bead, and then tie a second overhand knot after the bead.

[@hebinaakuma9764]

Great videos but you should put the links of the videos you mention in the description box. Thanks this video series was helpful!

[@lyndaL.Richards]

It would be very helpful if you would use different color cords. Just a thought...

[@beadaholique]

You can use the Closed Caption option underneath this video and click the Translate Captions option to see the CC in spanish.

[@beadaholique]

@First Love - Depending on the project you are working on, I would treat the four cords as it they were two and apply this same technique. Yes we do have a video showing you how to finish off the knotting. www.beadaholique.com/t-video-How-To-Finish-Macrame-Knotting.aspx?KZbin& Macrame 101: How to Create Macrame Jewelry www.beadaholique.com/s-2029-macrame-101-how-to-create-macrame-jewelry.aspx?KZbin&

[@cierraimig8178]

Thank you for the helpful video. I'm using Chinese knotting cord and although the knots are coming out fine, after 3 or 4 they begin to twist and look like a DNA strand. Any suggestions for keeping them flat?

[@beadaholique]

If you do not alternate whether your first string goes over or under the main portion, your knots will twist. It should alternate between over, over, under, through, and under, under, over, through.

[@cierraimig8178]

Beadaholique Thanks!

[@beadaholique]

Thanks for the suggestion. We just added them to the descriptions.

[@harderharmonies4262]

thank you, that was easy to follow :)

[@AppleofHisEye23]

Thank you so much for making this video. Have a Blessed day!🙏❤😀

[@beadaholique]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@krjulius82]

Thank you so much for these great videos!!! I watched these 3 once, and was able to make a bracelet right after watching it… I got so hooked, I couldn't stop… :D I will watch your other videos as well :-)

[@voodoodolly]

You stink of alternate account

[@kimbatdorff8029]

this video made it possible for me to finally learn the sliding knot... thank you. I also love the way you teach the wrap bracelet.

[@SpinningFairy]

I didn't see how you finished the knot at the end

[@RMarieJordan]

thank you this was easy to grasp

[@beadaholique]

If you follow along with this video, you will see how to make the adjustable sliding knot clasp. Unless your cords that you untied are too short, you should be able to make the knot as demonstrated in the video. You will need some additional cord to make the square knots in the clasp.

[@montrealstars60]

I really appreciated this tutorial, thanks

[@Iheartirishdancing]

How do you add the beads to the end of the middle strings?

[@SaintThePigSlayer]

Hey I need helpbought and untied all the knots on the end of my shamballa how do I Make a adjustable knot so I can wear I and tighten it

[@mekrinisafae3377]

witch type of corde u are using? ppplllllz answer me

[@beadaholique]

Safae Mekrini This video uses waxed cotton chord in black and brown www.beadaholique.com/p-10826-j... You can use any sort of chord you want for this technique however. You can click "Show More" in the video description above to see a complete list of the supplies used in the video, as well as a variety of other chords we offer which work well for macrame.

[@mekrinisafae3377]

thaaaank uuu sweet heart, love ur videos...they are just flawless

[@houseoffantauzzi18]

This video was lacking as it did not finish the project. Annoying to have to look at another video when it would have probably just taken a few minutes to finish it.

[@laurakiner71]

Now I'm assuming I finish the sliding clasp with the glue as well ?

[@beadaholique]

Laura Kiner Yes, I would always use a little reinforcement glue when possible. Macrame 101: How to Create Macrame Jewelry www.beadaholique.com/s-2029-macrame-101-how-to-create-macrame-jewelry.aspx?KZbin&

[@GrayssTheWizard]

This would have been a better video if you had actually Finished the knots.

[@ludouglas1]

I tape the two ends on either side to a-flat surface so I don’t have to hold them. Then my two hands are free to do the knots!! :-)

[@1948shelby]

I can't understand how you looped this. I have the entire bracelet made but can't figure this out as the video changes when you are knotting. How is this done?

[@SaintThePigSlayer]

EPIC I FIXED IT I OWE YOU BIG TIME SUBSCRIBED :)

[@crazyeaglelady]

Why did you not show what to do with the excess cord after making the sliding knot? What did you do to keep it from unraveling? That is the important part that was left out.

[@beadaholique]

You would just tie off the ends and add drops of glue. Here is a visual example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3nPfZpnh7KSm5o

[@crazyeaglelady]

Thank you.

[@malcreasy24]

so is the brown string acting as a bracelet?

[@beadaholique]

The length of cord you would need would depend on the thickness of the cord, the size of the beads, and the desired length of the finished bracelet. You may need to experiment. You can find step by step instructions for one example of this type of bracelet on our free beading projects page at Beadaholique. For that bracelet, which has 6 beads, I recommended 18" center cords and 3' outer cords.

[@coconutjkita]

You didn't tell us why we would have to take out the initial overhand knot we tied to stabilize the macrame

[@beadaholique]

You take out the overhand knot for aesthetic purposes, because it looks nicer without it.

[@darylljuban9599]

What is the cord name? Thaanks ^_^

[@sparklyhomesteader5414]

This doesn't make any sense because it wasn't done on the end of an actual bracelet. Would you mind doing another video at the end of the bracelet? Thanks for your time doing these videos.

[@lostinoc3528]

gangsta for life

[@sharmin1215]

This is somewhat confusing. It would be best if lengths of cord were added at the beginning. Also how it's going to look when finished. It should also plainly say how much cord to use in the overhand knot. I found myself done and then not knowing that I would need a longer cord to finish off. Very frustrating.

[@koypookupoy]

thank you very easy

[@LycanRace]

damnit, that's the cobra stitch! and I've always wondered just HOW to make a sliding knot. *face-palm* good lord, am I stupid ~.~

[@annap.6529]

Why you don't finished?

You need to make ONE video starting and finishing a bracelet this is confusing!

The video is not clear

[@hannahdesgroseilliers1888]

this video makes no sense, can you explain using your original piece, because ive made the bracelet i just dont understand how to tie it using the original piece

Helpful, but went a little fast to follow.

Los videos que podamos escoger el idiot que queramos para poder enteder mejor la explicación.

[@aga6704]

This od not clear :(

[@ellabernier8264]

you didnt tell us how to ‘“FINISH OFF” this little clasp. Sorry but this doesn’t look like it will work very well as there wil be the ends of the clasp just hanging out there.
