Begleri is a small skill toy consisting of two weights on either end of a short piece of cord. They come in all shapes, sizes, and materials, and are used by flipping and spinning them around your fingers. They originated in Greece, and have recently gained popularity outside of Greece as a fun skill toy, and are also called worry beads for their calming effects.
I really hoped you enjoyed this video, and I really hope you will try this for yourself! These things really are a ton of fun, and can be quite relaxing when you get the hang of them. If you want to learn how to use them, check out Aroundsquare Ltd's, and tgpbegleri's youtube channels linked below!

1 John 4:
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Your comment left me spinning 🤣🤣🤣

[@simply.sunset4691]

lol wtf

[@colonelstriker2519]

Did you just

[@urban_goose8577]

Got em

[@ethanstone2197]

Just discovered these thing this afternoon. I saw this video, and after a 15 dollar trip to the hardware store, I was up and running in about 15 minutes. Burned my thumb trying to pull the melted cord, but it was worth it!

[@ragon747]

Thanks a bunch man! nice vid! Very straightforward and simple, just great work!

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thank you so much!! So glad you liked it!

[@calatwork7308]

SharpshooterJD Is there any string other than paracord you would recommend for this?I don't think they sell it where i live.

[@calatwork7308]

And there arent many hardware stores here too

[@tylerwhitley2995]

Thanks for the tutorial man! I made some of these last night i used orange paracord

[@sharpshooterjd]

My pleasure man! Sweet! Glad you made some!

[@kenwoodard2618]

Well done sir. I was looking around at variously priced pre-made begleris, but I'm going this DIY route...perhaps stainless steel nuts with a red cord.

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thank you! Glad you found this helpful. I started with similar sets before I purchased some. Helps you to know what you like before you buy. Or maybe you will find you don't need to buy after all :). That sounds great! Best of luck to you, and thanks for the comment!

[@pyaoliang]

Great tutorial! I'll be using this for a mission trip craft. Thanks!

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thanks! Awesome!

[@copscrops]

I ended up heating the end of the tube a bit with the lighter. It worked well!

[@sharpshooterjd]

Glad to hear it!

[@allangee]

Since you had the superglue anyway, giving the knots a couple of shots before trimming off the extra will make sure they never come undone, and you can skip the melting with a lighter part. Also, you can embed the knots in epoxy in the nuts -- they'll never come out. Nice tutorial!

[@sharpshooterjd]

Great ideas! Thank you!

[@zickiezickie]

Very good tutorial. Very clear focus and easy to understand. Thank you.

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thank you so much!

[@RockyAndYetiRock]

Thank you so much this was great!

[@sharpshooterjd]

You are very welcome! Glad you liked it!!

[@mrsmiley9772]

never heard of begleri but I dig this and good video man!

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thanks so much!

[@teroaa7678]

Is the Measurements for those nuts in metric about 10mm and 8mm and that piece of paracord (distance between nuts) 11.3cm

[@sharpshooterjd]

You are correct!

[@7H07sAndH03s]

Loved ur job ... m looking forward to more :)

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thanks!

[@forkshootertb96]

Cool! Man you're good at that! Thanks Josh. I need to make one of those to impress my grandbratts I mean children!

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thanks man! No problem! Haha, you do that! I am sure they will love it :D.

[@musicandcoffee2853]

Very nice work. I like it! I wonder if you could even take a pice of black heat shrink tubing and put over the hex nuts just to add a little protection for your fingers? Again, good job, I'm going to try to make my own too.

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thank you! You definitely can! In fact I have seen at least one other person do that on the begleri enthusiasts group on facebook, and it looked great! I appreciate it, glad to hear you're going to make your own. Good luck and have fun!

[@charliebrownsdad178]

That's cool man, thanks for sharing

[@sharpshooterjd]

Brad Newberry Thanks man! You are very welcome :).

[@viktorpot8085]

thank you so mutch, this is a realy good vid!

[@e_hwhite6480]

I remember seeing similar ones in Thessalonika, Malta and Izmir. They were made with chain links and weighted end weren't nuts, but the same concept. These older gentleman were good at using them. They'd be drinking and talking and that thing never stopped moving. I never knew the name of though. Is it Bulgeri?

[@sharpshooterjd]

That's neat! The name I am familiar with is Begleri. Not sure if it was the same thing as what they were using or not. I don't know much about the history. Some great information is contained here if you are intersted :) www.aroundsquare.com/begleri/

[@spiritofgivings]

NEW SUB...Mainly b/c you are a believer! Somehow ran across this vid...very cool! I want to learn to use one. Thanks!

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thanks! I really appreciate it! Glad to see a fellow believer on here, seems to be getting rarer as the days go by. But God is still good, and he is working in this world! Check out the description for links to some great tutorials, good luck!

[@RaulGomez-gx9rb]

Excelente trabajo. Es óptimo para ejercitar las articulaciones de la mano.

[@sharpshooterjd]

¡Muchas gracias! ¡Ciertamente lo son!

[@dharmeshthakkar7562]

Nice....hope i get.the raw material and get started soon

[@aeon1c555]

What can I use for a replacement for the nuts because I'm not old enough to buy them and my parents don't want to buy any

[@johnmarston9853]

I found a cheap socket set in the garage it contained both metric and sae all you have to do is match diameters and you now have some cool looking beads maybe you should make a video on it.

[@sharpshooterjd]

Nice! I have seen others do that and I would have too if I had had a socket set laying around. Sadly, I couldn't find any that were the right size.

[@sskoul]

clean build.

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thank you!

THIS was awesome video bec i cant find it in any shop near me but can you make it with magnets

[@aliabdelkader7246]

sharpshooter can you make it with magnets

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thanks! Not sure, maybe.

[@FLUSITO]

Good Video👍

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thanks!

[@EdgyDabs47]

I know i'm 5 years late but i have to ask, are you playing short game begleri? And how tf did you get so good?

[@RockyAndYetiRock]

Do u personally come up with these projects?

[@sharpshooterjd]

Some of them yes. This one I definitely came up with on my own :). But a lot of them are inspired by other people's ideas.

[@GRAYgauss]

I prefer monkeyfists around 1/2" ball bearings for quality, plus no need for glue, etc. I suppose it's not quite the same shape as the beads, but you could change that if it really mattered. But this looks great for quick n easy. I'd recommend gorilla glue instead of 2part just for ease, and use the lighter metal/back of finger nail to pinch hot nylon sooner so it bonds better.

[@linimasakurniawan]

Thank's For Share Ide (Y)

[@jiljish.santhosh3637]

MARVELOUS BRO YOU ARE ASWM

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thanks bro! Appreciate the kind words!

[@sne60]

has the weight something to do how gut they are?

[@inkymation4985]

Thank u

[@edinahmetovic23]

I just have a quick question I hope someone could answer. Approximately how much would this cost? Thank you for whoever can answer this and great video man keep it up. Have a great day😁😁😁

[@sharpshooterjd]

Not sure exactly. If you have the cord, and the super glue laying around like I do, and if you skip the silicone tubing, not more than a few dollars. If you don't have any of that, it'll obviously be more expensive.

[@DartDynasty]

how thick is the cord? I was thinking about driving to ace hardware to get some

[@sharpshooterjd]

Just some 550 Paracord mate

[@jerichoarroyo105]

Good job kid!

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thanks man!

[@samuraisamurai836]

Good job kid.Thanks

[@sharpshooterjd]

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thanks!

[@hudsondurell3146]

cool! i might make one of these

[@sharpshooterjd]

Awesome! Good luck, and have fun!

[@rekaksky]

this is a very good fidget toy and self-defense tool!

[@sharpshooterjd]

Definitely a fun toy, pretty sure it would fail as a self defense tool though :).

[@kennethcalopez2592]

nice video..!!

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thank you!

[@erolog]

You are AWESOME

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thanks :D.

[@Nick-el7lq]

Nice

[@glennmackay3084]

when i was a youngster we had a toy we called cacklers basically thear wear to ceramic balls attached to a string with a small handle between them when they bounced together they would clack hence the name cacklers thay quit making them and i have not seen a pair scene i was a small boy do you think you can make a set

[@sharpshooterjd]

Not sure, sounds like a cool idea though!

[@sharpshooterjd]

Like this right? That's so cool :D. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH2rl6d_iLGBfqc

[@newaccount8149]

so what do you do with it?

[@bentackett6299]

Cool!

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thanks!

[@pyperslegofun805]

what else could you substitute for paracord

[@sharpshooterjd]

Shoe lace, or any type of 3mm, or 4mm cord. Honestly anthing, as long as it is thick enough, flexible enough, and won't cut your fingers.

[@jonathanaraneda9598]

What number does the nut have to be?

[@DjAdam54322]

I didn't have nuts so I made with bottle caps and it works 👌👌😎😎

[@tahermabozed64]

شكرا جزيلا لك يا راجل

[@nanditasukumar6693]

cool bro

[@ares7780]

I am from greece here cost it 1 euro NICE job men

[@sharpshooterjd]

Sweet! Thank you!

[@carlpatrickabalos]

can i use a nylon rope with same size?, instead of paracord?

[@sharpshooterjd]

Probably, it might hurt your fingers a bit more though.

[@albertolambach5395]

Bien lo tuyo Tulio!

[@mohammedalameri2969]

I like it

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thanks!

[@olegbastler400]

Спасибо классный совет, мне конечно больше нравятся русские четки, но и беглери интересно выглядят, надо сделать

[@amv_gxrx5277]

I saw u resisting the knocking on ur knuckles...😂

[@venubatchu]

cool

[@pushprajpatidar15]

Interviewer : Do you have any hidden talent. Me: 7:16. 😅

[@czescjestemmati2141]

great

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thanks!

[@arunkumaardeekonda]

Hi brother can u show step by tricks to learn it. In this video you are showing very fast but could teach us slowly steps to learn

[@waltercalvey8965]

GREAT JOB !! Wouldn't it Help if the Nuts Weren't Free to Slide On the Cord.........Like Maybe Glued Into Place ??

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thanks so much! It's really personal preference. It doesn't really make a difference to play, only to how it feels. I prefer them like this now, but I used to glue them, it's up to you. Also the vinyl tubing fits the cord a lot tighter so they don't slide as much.

[@waltercalvey8965]

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO & REPLY........FIRST I'VE SEEN THIS ........COOL & I WIIL MAKE ONE SOON !!

[@sharpshooterjd]

Awesome! Good luck!

[@timedriverable]

I assume the nuts wont slide down the cord?

[@Aaddd697]

Nuts can heart your finger bones but I like the idea to make thum chunks 🙂

[@leighz.5401]

can i use shoelaces or is that a bad idea?

[@sharpshooterjd]

Yep, shoelaces work great! They won't last as long as paracord, but they tend to be a bit softer. The softer the better!

[@creativepilot621]

nice

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thanks :).

[@George19532009]

what is it for exactly?

[@js1296]

much cooler than a fidget spinner

[@sharpshooterjd]

Agreed :D. Much more challenging too.

[@sunitavargi7261]

I love you

[@romilioherrera7465]

Im assuming you gutted the paracord to make the knots that small

[@sharpshooterjd]

Yep, I mention that right at the beggining of the video. I'm using de-cored 550 paracord.

[@leydeldecastro2716]

where can i find begleri tutorials?

[@sharpshooterjd]

Check out these two channels: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnO5lKSFiNahqrM kzbin.infofeed

[@debbiemitchell5299]

cooooooool

[@sharpshooterjd]

:D

[@KinVicTus00]

Is shoe lace fine ?

[@sharpshooterjd]

Yep!

[@edwardmadayag9271]

As long as its not flat

[@ep61611]

I think a finishing touch would be brass (gold colored) plugs that screw into the outside ends This would 1) hide the end of the cord and prevent it from sliding, and 2) give it a nice finished appearance.

[@sharpshooterjd]

Sounds sweet! You wouldn't want to add too much more weight though. Let me know if you do that!

[@dogg1972]

does that not hurt

[@user-mk4qc5cb8u]

wow

[@anmol500]

i made it BUT it hurts,, PLS ANY SUGGESTION

[@sharpshooterjd]

Sweet! A bit of shrink tubing, or wrapping them in some athletic/duct tape will help. You can also try making this set out of bouncy balls untill you get used to it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYuplqeoaMidbMU

[@SlyShippy]

What is the purpose of the vinyl tubing?

[@sharpshooterjd]

To center the cord and keep the knot from slipping through.

[@bryankautz826]

Also, I'm assuming, it helps to keep the cord from fraying by removing any friction and not allowing it to come in contact with the threads of the nuts . ??

[@zigaziggy6858]

thanks that is so cool :)

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thanks! Glad you like them :D. You going to try to make a set?

[@zigaziggy6858]

SharpshooterJD yes I 'll try

[@sharpshooterjd]

Awesome, have fun!

[@zigaziggy6858]

SharpshooterJD tnx :)

[@anantyadav4685]

I am going to make one. One question does 275 cord fit in it

[@salmanmcfraggle401]

you should make an epoxy called JD weld

[@SamuraiSamoht14]

Nice job man!

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thanks man!

[@elmanitasdeplomo]

I'd probably need to wear a full face helmet if I start practicing with these.

[@pilotreg]

i cover the nuts with some 90 paracord on each side so they hurt less

[@cidatregues7197]

Ops desculpe adorei

[@retire7479]

does it hurt?

[@sharpshooterjd]

It stings your knuckles a bit at first. Might get a few minor bruises at the very beginning, but you get used to it. If you're worried about it, you can always wrap them in tape, or apply some shrink tubing to them.

[@ariel.244]

[@jbellomallo]

👍

[@BiLLy_0719]

Is that rope is stretchable????

[@sharpshooterjd]

UNKNOWN Not really. It's pretty solid.

[@BiLLy_0719]

SharpshooterJD thanks ill make one

[@sharpshooterjd]

UNKNOWN Awesome :). Good luck!

[@user-xi9pe3xl5n]

Yes easy begleri

[@bhanuprakash-jg4ji]

asome

[@sharpshooterjd]

Thanks!

[@lisc11]

on the real tho, are those low thuds the nut hitting your knuckles? ouch man .

[@sharpshooterjd]

Yeah it's a bit painful at first, this is more for advanced players. It don't even notice it anymore. Check out my video on making them out of bouncy balls, they feel much better on the knuckles: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYuplqeoaMidbMU

[@cainewman2577]

I’m totally making this and gimme a shoutout😂

[@sharpshooterjd]

Awesome! Make it! Get good at using it, then make a video of it! Then I might give you a shout out on my other channel :).

[@litgeeksquadofficial]

goteeem! ha, goteeem!
