Very clear intructions! I watched another tutorial and it just made me wanna cry, i could not get it!! 😥 Thanks to you, i now know how to make a sliding knot! 👏👏👏🙂

[@pinkleo29]

I love your video! Easiest tutorial that I have found for the sliding knot. You explained every step perfectly. I loved that you left the "oopsie" in there, as we all make mistakes, lol! It really does help! Thank you! :)

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi, I am so glad that I was able to help! For some reason, sliding knots were always difficult for me, so once I figured it out, I thought others might like it too. :) I did consider editing the "oopsie" out, then figured people would get a laugh out of it. :D Thanks for your comment!

[@alexmorrison8953]

Wow. Watched three tutorials and your's was by far the easiest. Thanks!

Thank you for this lovely, easy to understand tutorial! The necklace that I purchased a while back had a sliding knot broke earlier today, and this video helped me repair it quickly!

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Yay! I am glad I was able to give you directions so you could fix it. :D

[@Gauntlet1985]

Thank you very much for this video! I have had a pendant in which the string finally wore out since I wear it all the time. I'm not good with knot work other than tying my shoe laces. 😊 So I was dreading having to replace my pendant cord. You explained and filmed very clearly how to do this. Thank you! My pendant has a fresh cord thanks to you. 😁

[@wabowers51]

LOL!!! I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who makes those kinds of mistakes. Thanks for sharing.

[@gloriabeck6102]

I was always afraid to try this knot, but my husband does pottery and he made all these amazing raku pendants that I need to make into necklaces. You made it sooooo easy. I even did it on the first try. THANK you so very much. Oh, and I loved the mistake part as well.

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi Gloria, I am so glad the video was useful to you, and that you were able to get the knot to work on the first try. Enjoy putting those raku pendants into necklaces!

[@autumn8034]

I did it but I messed up too I made it too short to fit around the head. Oh my. But your instructions are the bomb. Thank you.

[@Marcsxx]

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi Linda, I'm so happy that I helped you with the sliding knots! I was having a tough time myself and when I finally figured it out, I thought others might like it too. :) Thank you so much for leaving a comment, and I hope you have a lot of fun with your wire bracelet! :D

+gogrannygo cools Hi! You just made my day -- thank you! :D

[@juliew1426]

I am so impressed that you left your mistake in the video! This is a mistake that has probably been made at least a million times. It's definitely something that I've done a time or two (or twenty)

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

***** LOL, I figured that others could relate when I did that! I've done it more times than I care to count. ;)

[@lorrainestern8160]

Thank you, that was so easy to follow, I now have a beautiful, adjustable leather necklace to wear my pendant on.

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi Lorraine, I am glad that you were able to follow the instructions -- and I hope you enjoy wearing your pendant! :)

[@lisaa1463]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much!💖

[@Paulenannmarie]

Good video. I like that you left the mistake in. It does teach!

[@suziesenese1158]

Thank you for you tutorial, loved that you kept it real :)

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Suzie Senese LOL, I thought it would bring some smiles if I left that in, instead of re-recording the entire thing. :D

[@edithkurashige1483]

Thanks so much, that was a really life video ,, thanks again.

[@TheEdder11]

Thank you, that was so easy to follow the instructions and love it.

[@smellanalan]

Love your video... Keep coming here to re-learn this knot... Thank you much for posting!

[@angelsartography1178]

After 100 videos this was the easiest. The others show feeding the cord through all the loops.

[@tinytalesofcrafts_by_aj]

Thanks for this video ❤️

[@jackbarrett8675]

Hahahahaha. Good on you!!! 😂😂 but really. Awesome tutorial. Thanks

[@lindadechow2212]

Perfect, this is exactly what I need for a project I am working on, inspired by you, btw =) Great video, thank you.

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Aww, thanks so much for your kind words, Linda. :D

[@crystalheart9]

Thank you for this nice easy tutorial. So sorry you cut your cord on the first one.🥰

[@alicewong8497]

Thanks ! Very funny at the end lol

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Alice Wong I thought it might give people a chuckle if I left in that bit, LOL. :D

[@alicewong8497]

I must be careful when I need to cut something! Lol really love it!

[@bakingwithtrouble4918]

thanks, i needed this I undid my favorite necklace and i used this to put it back together

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi Baking with Trouble (love the screen name!) -- I am glad you enjoyed the video! :)

[@superwomeans]

what kind of cording did you use? hemp?

[@myrnamccolley4251]

Thanks for showing us everyone makes mistakes. I’ll be sure to be careful to cut the right cord.lol

[@CruciusLapin]

LOL I was talking to my dog while snipping the ends off AND accidentally snipped the main cord 😂😂😂 came right apart. Thank you for the video !

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi tristanblane, LOL! Good to know that I am not the only one to make these kinds of errors. ;)

[@EverydayMoms]

thanks for your help! and I love that you kept the goof up in the vid :)

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

+EverydayMoms Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@tessphilipps304]

but even better than taking that tail over the 3 loops is taking it inside the coil and then inserting it in end loop and tightening...you don't have the end of the tail on top of the coiled area. Easy adjustment on this informational video.

[@justmehere7738]

Thanks, great video, easy to follow.

[@tullysoulliere8103]

Super good job and thanks for leavin in ur little lesson! Always good to learn by example! lolol.and that pendant is really pretty by the way!(O:

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

+Tully Soulliere LOL, I make mistakes all the time, so no harm in sharing them. Thanks on the pendant -- I used to do lampworking, so it's a hand-made glass bead.

[@loriprihoda8731]

It was helpful thanks

[@NorthGermanic]

Thanks for sharing this video. Happy Newyear! :-)

[@Taylor-io7pj]

can you make a sliding knot with hemp cord

[@goawayleavemealone2880]

Is this possible with Rattail Cord, I don't like the feeling of leather cord and the necklace I'm trying to repair was originally made with Rattail Cord. I'm really struggling. Nevermind, maybe I'm just really useless when it comes to this sort of thing.

[@kayReneeEL]

Thank you for the tutorial

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

You are very welcome. :)

[@NotSpockToo]

It would have been easier to see if your fingers weren't in the way. I couldn't see how you created the initial loop and other steps.

[@ripper6971]

Can someone explain how to get the knots even on each side? I make the necklacre and the focal stone is attached in the center using the knots that people teach you. Then when I try to do an adjustable knot in the top, the knots are always lopsided. How do you fix that?

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi doglvr69, are you saying that you are knotting the focal into the necklace, and then when you make do the sliding knots those aren't evenly on either side of your neck? I have found that when making a sliding knot, one of the sides seems to take more length than the other does. Is it possible that with your focal that you don't knot it into the center of the necklace, but allow it to slide free?

[@ripper6971]

@@beadedjewelrydiva I have a lot of very nice Agate slices and donuts. I use the directions given by someone here and yes the first thing I do is do a fancy knot to hold the donut in place. Then I try to do the sliding knots and they are always lopsided. Once they are tied, I can't figure out how to take up the extra cord/slack on one side so they will be even. The donut will not slide on this. Any suggestions on how to make this work? It is making me crazy!!

[@gjk540]

Loved it!

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Thank you, J R! :D

[@ishmaelosama7458]

Thank you 💙

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi Ishmael, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! :)

[@lindat3978]

Does anyone know how much cord you start with for a bracelet?

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi Linda, it depends on how big your wrist is, but personally I would start out with around 15 inches. (I have a fairly chunky wrist.) ;)

[@paigesartwork]

I was like "NO wait!!! Your gonna cut the wrong one!"

[@fathimathlaeyshaa8535]

I love it

[@urj210478]

I still cannot do it.

[@tishatti]

Thank you. Great video and very helpful:-) What length cord to make a bracelet?

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi! It really depends on the size of your hand, but a good place to start is 2 times the diameter of your wrist.

[@tishatti]

+Beaded Jewelry Diva oh ty for replying so quickly!:) well my worst is about 16cm so what length should I use? I've already tried your method and it's worked beautifully! I too couldn't understand many of the other vids I watched. Yours was very clear, and you made me laugh when you messed up with the cutting, hehe!

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

If your wrist is 16 cm, try 32 to 35 cm. :)

[@tishatti]

+Beaded Jewelry Diva thank you! Will give it a go:-)

[@bellaearp5913]

Syfjhdgyk im so sad my necklace broke and I can’t fix it 😔
