How to Make a Sliding Knot (single knot) - jewelry making tutorial

[@Vlogstafy]

I have no idea how other people are finding this so easy. I'm ripping my hair apart trying to get the cords to stay put while looping it around lol

[@retrocat8465]

I just want to thank you for giving us a tutorial without A bunch of pop ups about what we can buy from your shop. This alone will make me remember to check out your shop when I'm making purchases.

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

+Kathleen Thanks for saying so! Full disclosure though - I do have some videos where I added the info as popups because I was getting so many questions about where to buy the supplies, lol :) I definitely don't do it for most of my videos though - I agree that gets really annoying!

[@kayleeyoung4796]

If you have trouble getting the string through the loop what I did was take a bobby pin stick it through the string then take the end of the string loop it through the bottom of the bobby pin and pull it back through (if that makes sense it’s really helpful)

[@heygillian2737]

Thank you for sharing this tutorial. My daughter had a bracelet that had come apart, and thanks to your great instructions, we were able to repair it for her. She's a happy girl this morning. I appreciate your time.

[@randicoleman]

I have seen lots of tutorials and I find this one really helpful, clear and concise. Thank you for sharing it.

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

Randi Coleman Thanks very much! I'm so glad you found it useful :)

[@mmoss6961]

I can't believe I did this! I've been wrestling with this for hours until I found this tutorial. Thank you SO much! I was trying to fix a bracelet someone gave me as a gift where the knot had come apart. Now I can keep wearing it. Excellent!!!

[@arnoldnarine7680]

Omg. I tried it. It's super easy. I did it in two minutes. You are a genius. Thank you soooooo much.

[@chrisscheuers9968]

This is the best straightforward tutorial I have seen. Thanks it's clear and easy steps.

[@beachcitybay4497]

Finally a tutorial I could follow! I needed a second piece of leather!!! Thank you so much. Tried doing the knot without the second piece of leather many times and the knot would always end up on one side of the bracelet! This makes more sense.

[@mica7104]

Omg! Finally a video that doesn't make me feel like I'm a dumb! My knot came out PERFECT! GRACIAS!!!!

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

Great! I'm glad to hear that. Someone else asked before and I wasn't sure but I thought it should work! Thanks for stopping by!

[@marsbeads]

Love your soft voice. Thank you.

[@grimgrudge]

Thank you! Every other youtube tutorial for a "sliding knot" results in people showing you how to do the cobra knot or using the ends of the bracelet to make a knot. This is the exact knot I was looking for.

[@toppesto5992]

I have a leather bracelet I wear everyday and have for close to two years. One of the pull cords broke today and your tutorial helped me save my bracelet! Thank you!

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

Wonderful! I'm so glad this helped!

[@Vanners]

thanks so much for this wonderful explanation, my 3 yr old just made her first bracelet, and I wanted an adjustable knot - this was perfect! - Mary 🌺

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

That's great to hear :) Thanks so much for stopping by to say hello, Mary!

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

My pleasure! I'm so glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching and thanks for your comment :)

[@DominoM123]

Super easy tutorial to follow and the knot works great. I wasn’t sure if it would work for me since I made a multi strand “friendship” style bracelet with tapestry thread that had 6 pieces of thread to finish it off. The knot still worked great. Thanks.

[@sockfooncmacdougall1708]

Thank you SO much for this tutorial. With your help I am able to replace a single sliding knot on bracelet my sister gave me.

[@GpaandGmaBeardPerrynTracy]

Thank you very much for your tutorial. It helped a lot in making friendship bracelets.

[@jenniferd2798]

This is my favorite knot. I found it easier to get someone else to hold the braclet while I loop the other string!

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

What a great idea!! Thanks for checking out the video :)

[@loreewills8409]

Thank you for this! You helped me repair a beloved bracelet!

[@shaolin811]

Thank you so much, This helped so much fixing a bracelet my friend wore for years. It was the kind that couldn't be taken off. This knot made it so he can put it on or take it off :D . And you have a really kind voice.

[@tinkerpan8398]

Very good.. simple instructions and easy to follow! Thank you

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

Tinker Pan Thanks so much, glad you liked it :)

[@phoebej1332]

thank you SO much! I am making a bracelet to send to my penpal who lives in sri lanka, I had no idea how big/small to make the bracelet and your tutorial made this so easy for me!

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

That's great - so glad to hear that, Phoebe! Thanks so much for stopping by to say hello :) Hope your friend loves her bracelet!

[@carissas4521]

I thought it'd be much harder. I tried without looking it up but couldn't. This helped a lot. Thanks

[@knikkip]

Thank you for this. The knot in my 4ocean bracelet came undone and I was able to fix it because of your video.

[@markb61]

We have 3 of those same bracelets & the knots need replacing!

[@MrLancefancypance]

This was the second video I watched. I found this very helpful in making a bracelet using leather cord. Thank you.

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

MrLancefancypance Thanks so much! Glad you found this useful :)

[@jariech87]

I enjoyed watching how you broke this down in easy steps. Thank you

[@kayleeyoung4796]

This video is sooo helpful and I’m so happy with how my bracelet turned out

[@Babette17C]

That looks easy enough. Thank you, I've needed this several times. Now, thanks to you, I know!

[@musingsofajay387]

omg jewelry making.... this is a dangerously expensive hobby I foresee taking over my life lol

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

MusingsofaJay♡ OMG tell me about it :)

[@lifeisgood7740]

I’m right there!

[@jessicameadows5016]

Thank you so much! I was pretty skeptical at first and had to replay sections a couple times to make sure I got it right, but it worked perfectly!

[@yourfavoriteoompaloompa139]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I always come back to your video every time❤️. Thank you for not being selfish and sharing your skills with the world. 🌍 Super easy and cool way to do this. Thank you 🙏 💕

[@fhrmaharani]

Amazing! Thank you sooo much! I'm using embroidery floss and it worked well, too.

[@karenberlin1]

Thank you sooooooo much! I have 3 daughters and they have these bracelets now. One broke Christmas Day so you saved our lives!

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

Karen Berlin I'm so glad to hear that you were able to fix your daughter's bracelet!! I use this knot all the time. SO much easier than the traditional square knot, I think, and I like that it's much less bulky as well. Thanks so much for visiting. Happy New Year!

[@nlytend1]

Thank you so much :) I've been meaning to effectively tie a bracelet I got from someone very special and now it's finally around my wrist.

[@mothwigs5360]

Thank you, following your clear guide I have now made all the women and girls in my family these bracelets using different beads. Having managed this you have now given me the confidence to try other types, thanks again from the UK x

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

Hi Jean! That's wonderful to hear :) Thanks so much for stopping in to say hello! I'm glad you enjoyed making these bracelets!

[@CloudyWishes]

Thankyou so much now I can fix my beloved jewelry that broke.

[@The13thProphet_]

Thank you so much a bracelet my gf gave me the knot came apart and it took me awhile to find a video to actually find a video with the right kinda knot it had on it thank you

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

I was looking for a good knot to tie the dozens of Brazilian bracelets my girlfriend's making :) Not easy with a lot of strings at the end... This is perfect! Cheers

[@aeonhale]

Perfect for helping my 8yr old make bracelets. Thanks!

[@ChrisSpirerHHI]

Thanks so much...what a great, easy and attractive way to finish an adjustable bracelet.

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

[@ThisIsMeTinnaMarie]

I cannot thank you enough!! I got it on the first try!!!!

[@tiffanyoviedo14]

I always thought doing this would be hard omg thank you for demonstrating it so good!!

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

Absolutely! Thanks for visiting - glad you found this useful!

[@books-and-cats]

Thank you this was such a great video. I did it eventually but I struggled for ages especially with shaky hands. I got confused and was doing it wrong as I didn’t realize you had to keep the short side of the loop parallel to the cords of the bracelet and loop over that too. Once I figured out you were doing that then it worked. I think lol I did it late last night. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

Glad it was helpful! Yes, I really think I could have explained that so much better. I'm actually working on a redo of this video that should be much clearer.

[@books-and-cats]

@@JewelryTutorialHQ yes that might be a good idea for the completely new to this people like me. Just that one step needs adding. The rest is really good. I suppose a professional that is doing it as a touch up would know but someone like me wouldn’t. I managed though! Thank you 🙏🏼 ♥️

[@RobinCollinsArtist]

I'm making a set of bracelets for a group of girls that will be graduating. I can't tell you how much this helped, thank you so, so much!!

[@elsagonzalez363]

Gracias. My son got a bracelet that instantly broke and I was able to repair it with this tutorial. I will visit and have shared the video.

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

elsa gonzalez So glad to help!! Thanks for sharing :)

[@ren7076]

Same!! But it was mine that broke. My bracelet is about 8 years old and it broke like few years later. I didn't threw it out because it's part of my childhood. Thank you for this video. Now I'm able to wear it again :D

[@MrMikotoys]

Great video! Just in time for Fathers Day for me. Me and my son had and awesome time making dad braclets!! Thanks so much!!! 5 stars!!!

[@gproberth9992]

Thanks so much! I have a lovely leather bracelet, which had a sliding knot,but one day when I took it off, I accidentally pulled too hard, and one end came out. I am going to use your method to repair it - it will also give me a bit more room to get it over my hand. Much appreciated! I will check out your websites, too.

[@julieanngriffin4970]

Thanks so much for this tutorial, it was so easy to follow! This was just what I was looking for to be able to finish a bracelet I've made from polymer clay. Thanks again!!

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

Julie Ann Griffin That's great to hear! So glad it's going to help you finish your bracelet! I love using these knots - it's almost impossible to go back to using clasps now ;)

Hi Nanette! It's a 1mm waxed linen cord, and the exact one I use is available in my Etsy shop (BespangledBeads.etsy.com) I can't post active links in the comments but the information is in the notes section above. Click the 'Show More' button and you'll see the details on the cord information. There's also a link to a TON of fun colors on Amazon if you don't like the brown. Thanks for stopping by! ~Jessica

[@aishahhx3]

Wow.. Super great on simplicity. I've been through so many videos that talk about square knots and square knots with super glue or crazy glue. Stupid. Thanks for posting!

[@ravenspace26]

Thank you for this video! I actually like this sliding knot better than the macrame sliding knots and I also find this knot easier to slide! :)

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

+ravenspace26 Thank you! So happy to hear that - glad you enjoyed it :)

[@JewelryTutorialHQ]

@randomcookies85 I believe hemp should work! I have never tried it myself but I know I have seen adjustable hemp bracelets before using sliding knots so I'm thinking it shouldn't be a problem. Will you let me know how it goes if you try it?

[@KathleenRenninger]

Thank you for this clear explanation.

[@fatyaaaa]

My friend gave me a bracelets and i broke the knot but thanks to this i can repair that knot and maintain my friendship... Thanksss!

[@mfbir1able]

Perfect video! I own a jewelry making teaching business --unique, right? (I have been an adult literacy teacher and am a psychologist by education. So I had to learn how to be a teacher and one who could teach to an adult population who more likely than not have undiagnosed learning disabilities. I learned that you teach for every type of learner by trying to provide every different type of learning example ) and this was verbally and graphically great! I have been desperately searching for a tut to learn how to do this, as I have relied on others to teach most macrame knots. I have a fantastic kumihimo design that I have refused to teach until I have learned to make the sliding knot myself. I think that I am finally confident to roll out that design! Thank you so much! p.s. FYI...I didn't really expect to be teaching beading, it fell into my lap. How does this keep happening to me? Lol
