Thank you sooo much for demonstrating a 2nd time with the black cord. It was so much easier to see how to tie the knots!
Awesome! Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 🌼
Thank you! My daughter's favorite bracelet came unknotted and he was devastated (not hard to be devastated as a toddler though lol). I used this knot to retie the bracelet and she was so happy. Thank you again!
So glad it was helpful and your little one has a smile again 🌻
I just had a whole breakdown because im trying to make concert trading bracelets, got all the supplies, and cant keep the string together !!!! Ty

This was great. Straight to the point without the extensive dribble and showing the beads being threaded. I mean, I think we all know how to poke a string through a hole, right.

I was able to get the concept of the surgeon's knot, and tightened it many times in all directions. It still came apart once i cut the loose strings. Not sure what i am doing wrong.
AHH THKS HELPS SO MUCH
Excellent 💫
Amazing!! I should have just UA-camd this ages ago, Ive lose so many beads
Oh no! Glad my video is helpful 💫

Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
THANK YOU
Thanks :)
No problem! Glad I could help 👍🌻
Thank you! I used this knot and three months later my bracelets are still holding strong! lol Do you have any recommendations for covering the knot when the beads you're using are too small?? I've been using a round crimp cover.
Glad you enjoyed my video and your bracelets are strong!! Yes a crimp cover is probably the best option if the beads are too small to fit the knot under. Or a feature bead with a bigger hole. 🌻
Thanks
Tx!
This is such a great tutorial thank you. I do find that my first knot with the right over left and left over right twists and distorts the beads before I can finish and tighten the second knot. Have you and tips on how I can stop this please?
Hi Suki, its hard but you want to try and keep tension on the first knot. If you are struggling you can try and put something in between (like a pen) so that you can move the first knot down first before bringing the second knot down. It is a little fiddly but will get better with practice! Thanks for watching
@@creativefnk thanks so much for your reply. I’ll give that a try x
I am having the same problem. I will try the pen to see if it will hold the first knot. Thanks
What size doe you normally make your bracelets what’s the standard for most bracelets 💕🙏🏽
I use this and it works really well, thank you! I just wanted to ask if this will hold well for a long time even without glue? I see a lot of tutorials that mention adding a dot of glue, but I'd rather skip that step as the glue might go on the beads. 😅
Yes, if the knot is secure and locked in place you won’t need glue. 💫 it’s more personal preference and some like the glue as as extra security layer 🌻
Where can I bye the rubber leash ? 🌺
Quality craft store or search online ‘stretch magic elastic’ should bring some up! Good luck 🌻
Is this a good knot for any type of material, particularly yarn? I'm making some yarn i-cord bracelets for kids and was searchibg what the best knot would be to securely tie them.
Thanks!
Yes this would work, although it depends on if you want them to remove them easily? This is more a tight secure knot. Have you thought about a sliding knot bracelet? Something like these

m.ua-cam.com/video/qJ2JHoRnhCE/v-deo.html&pp=ygUVU2xpZGluZyBrbm90IGJyYWNlbGV0
Good luck 💫
@creativefnk Thanks so much for your reply and suggestions. The yarn i-cord bracelets are pretty stretchy and worn similar to a bangle, so a solid knot works well for them because they can easily fit over a fist, and I don't want them coming undone. However, for other bracelets that have little to no give and look better worn more fitted, the sliding knot would be ideal. I'll check out those links.
Thanks again!
What do you recommend using when working with 1mm beads to hide the knot ? Thanks
Unfortunately 1mm beads are very small to hide a knot under! Use a smallest possible thread (maybe 0.5) and try and slip it under. Otherwise use a bead with a slightly bigger hole and pop under there 🌻
i watched through this whole video and i did the surgeon knot and i tightened the bracelet for 5 minutes and when i put it on it broke everywhere. I dont know why this elastic doesnt work
Great tutorial, thank you! How long is the elastic cord ?
I use 10-12 inches (25-30cm) 👍
This unfortunately did not work for me. Im using the exact same string and it just came immediately undone after cutting off the excess. I followed the video and did the exact knot, but it still fell apart.
You need to gently pull more on the knot. It has a jelly like consistency and needs to fuse together in the knot so gently pull, release, pull etc a few times as you feel it getting tighter. Good luck 👍
You made me look like a flucking hero to my wife. 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
Haha I’m so glad I could help! Thanks for watching 🌻
How to do basic triple knot??
What knot is this???
It needs talent ofcourse.
Every time I try to tie my string it always comes undone, even this one isn't working 😞 I don't know what I'm doing wrong at this point...
It might be your elastic. It’s worth grabbing a good quality stretch cord. What size are you using? The bigger it is the harder it is to lock it in place. Try dropping down a size (if using 1mm try using 0.7mm) and really focus on working the knot gently, pulsing pressure and trying to pull some elastic through the knot to lock it in place. Good luck 🤞 🌻
I'm confused - you showed right over left but you didn't do left over right - unless I just keep missing it - Are you wrapping right over left and pull and then wrap left over right and pull and then start with the other knot? I am very new and I am trying to learn how to tie the best knot. Any guidance would be great - thanks
Hiya! Yes, we place the right side cord on top of the left, wrap it around one time, and then place the left side cord on top of the right and twist that around three times.
These elastic knots can be challenging! Most important thing is to gently pull the knot tight to lock it in place.
There are so many variations to tie a good elastic knot, so you will work out what works best for you. I have other videos as well showing slight variations!

Good luck! 💫🌻
Hello - Thank you so much for your help! Yess this is my main issue right now is tying the knots - hopefully I will get it😊 Have a Happy New Year!
I think what’s confusing me is I see when u put the right over the left - then you say “left over right” where are you putting the left over right? Then next step is wrapping 3 times - I’m missing something because the knot doesn’t stay at all… (yikes)
This didn’t work for my bracelet and idk how to knot it since it’s keeps undoing itself
Slips right out when I pull it by the beads. :/
What size cord are you using? Try a smaller one and the tightness is all in the gentle pulling after you have tied the knot. Be patient 🤞 good luck 🌼

I tried this but it's not really working
I pull again and again and again and it seems like its working and fusing and then I pull again and it comes apart entirely
I really don't know what I'm doing wrong
Oh no 🙈 It can be tricky! It’s all in the pulling the cord after you’ve tied the knot. Pull gently and try and pull some cord through to lock it in place. I find the bigger cords a little harder as well, what size are you using?
@@creativefnk The elastic is 0.6mm
I used the knot twice now (if that makes sense, English isn't my first language) and it seems to hold! But I'm still scared that it'll just rip while I'm out or something 😂
Can anybody tell me why when I do this then let go it unties itself?
It has a jelly consistency so you need to gently tug it in all directions from the knot till it’s meshed together 🌻
How much cord is this waisting
I don’t like wasting cord either! You do need to have a little wastage with these as you need to have enough to hold while you pull the knot. As you get more experienced you can cut it shorter if you can do your knot with smaller ends 🌻

Too fast. When teaching, it should be slow.
No it wasn't too fast. The 2nd time the knot was shown, it was slow and easy to follow.
Thanks for your feedback 🌻
when viewing the video you can go to settings and adjust playback speed to be slower if needed
I watched in 2X and got it.
There was two steps how slow did you need it to be? Lmao
Oh, it’s a basic square knot only that you have to do additional round before locking it.
Yes, more connections inside the knot is best for elastic cord, this stuff can be tricky! 💫
Thank you!
You're welcome! 🌻
