Hello, Thank you for making this video, the directions are very clear and very helpful. I haven't made a shamballa bracelet yet but I have made many paracord bracelets. I am so glad you are talking and explaining things and measurements. I am tired of finding a great video and they won't even talk, just play their kind of music. Makes me not want to watch. Thanks again Do you have more videos out?
I didnt realize that the wax cord I bought would be too thick to fit into the beads I have so I'm using a stain beading cord, I believe it is, is this ok for this style? I'm at a practice stage right now; just attempting to learn the technique before I can perfect it really! Cuz my knots look nothing at all like urs currently.
What kind of cord so you use . Also could you tell me what the best size cord to use for 8mm bead with 1mm hole plz and thank you ?
48" 1.2mm beading cord
24" 1.2mm beading cord
24" 0.8mm beading cord
We used braided nylon cord.
So I made my first Shamballa bracelet. Not bad. The main issue I have was that the gems don't stay right in between the chord that wraps around it. Also, the bracelet is not exactly straight. Like it's a bit twisty. I guess with more practice, I'll get better. Still happy with the way it turned out
Hello, loved the tutorial thank you. When finishing off the ends, you saturate the cord with glue to make it nice and secure. I use a thread burner and couple with glue. Wonder if the thread burner and glue is ok or maybe just (as you have done) glue and clip. I always worry about the ends coming undone over time especially on the clasp.
+Donna Faye Hi Donna! I think the thread burner plus the glue will work well. You can always glue again if you find the ends starting to fray. If I get my bracelet wet repeatedly, I find I need to re-glue the ends every now and again. :-)
Very helpful tutorial. I really think I can do this, thanks to you. THANK YOU.
+Iris Rodriguez Hi Iris! Thank you so much! We are so happy to hear that our tutorial is helpful!
I made my center cord 48 inches like it said but it wasn't near long enough. Did I mess something up?

Hi! My center cord (the 0.8mm cord I use to thread the beads on) is only 24" long and then I fold it in half. I always use 48" of the 1.2mm beading cord for this style bracelet. If you are using heavier cord than 1.2mm, you might need more cord. If you are using thinner cord than 1.2mm, and you are making many more knots, then you will need longer cord. The knots eat up a lot of the cord. The measurements I provide are perfect for the exact bracelet I made in this video using the thickness of cords specified. I'm not sure if any of this will help you...but if you are using different thicknesses and making many more knots, then you will have to make adjustments to the lengths you use. Please let me know if you have any other questions. :-)
The same thing happened to me - I used the length specified in the tutorial for the center cord but it wasn't near long enough - but I did use 1 mm for the center and 1.5 for the other cords so I guess I have to adjust.
gypsygrl1 Hi! Using thinner cord will require a few more knots and will use up the cord quicker so, like you said, you will have to adjust. If you aren't sure, you can play it safe and just cut 2 full yards and fold it in half. For this tutorial, I used the thin .8 mm in the center so the beads fit, and the heavy 1.2mm to make all of the knots. I've always only needed 48" to make the knots for the body of the bracelet using these materials. I hope that helps! :-)
Another thing you can do according to Shambala cord instructions is melt the ends with a lighter or candle or use clear nail polish.
+Catrina Hemphill Hi Catrina! Those are excellent suggestions! I'm personally not comfortable using a lighter but if that works for you, then by all means use that method! :-)
Thank you, easy to follow.
Thank you so much!! You make the best tutorials!!! :) Keep up the great work!!!!
Thank you so much, Aimee!! I appreciate your feedback!
By the way, is this vaxed cord or no vax?
VigilasOfSweden Hello! The cord I use is not waxed, but you can definitely used waxed cord instead if you like! :-)
Trying to repair a set of mines right now..thank you
Thanks for a very.clear video tutorial'!'!
You are very welcome! Thank you for leaving feedback!
Very helpful I was stuck to before this video it was so hard but I learned from u!!!
Victoria Foteva Hi Victoria! We're so glad our video helped you!
Your welcome!!!
Holy crap i can now make a square knot haha thank you
Kittykatchayoo4 Haha! I totally hear you! :-) I'm so glad this video helped you! And if you want to make a "twist" knot, all you do is start each knot on the same side instead of switching back and forth. You can experiment a little if you like but don't tie the knots too tight if you don't want to keep the twists. I like to alternate between square and twist knots using beads to separate the knotted sections. :-)
I wanted to order several of these bracelets but after I saw that some people charged anywhere from $30.-$35. all the way to over $60.00 PER BRACELET I thought OMG let me learn to make my own!! GEEZ!! They had no gold in them for those prices, either, for the record!
Anyway, I get confused easily and I have to SEE and WATCH how something is done to "get it". Some people THINK they are good teachers but they aren't. YOURS was the 1st video I REALLY began to think I might could do this! You made it very easy to understand and explained every step and made sure to remind us when the step changed, like when a bead was added in-between a complete square knot. Thank you for such a great tutorial......I absolutely love these adjustable clasps and have ever since I first saw one. I can't wait to see how mine comes out, although I am sure it will be a while before they look anywhere near as good as yours!
Thank you again for a great 'how to' video!!!
This is such a good tutorial and I'm 11 too
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!! Keep up the good work. :-)
Instead of gluing the end why not sew them in with a needle?
Sure!

I'm so glad my video helped!!
Very helpful and clear for me the

This is a great tutorial. Thank you so much for your clear, concise instruction. I work with gemstones and want to make this type of bracelet to supplement my retirement income as well as give me something creative to do with my hands. Blessings to you.
Thank you! Very nicely done tutorial!
Thank you for your great presentation. I have watched several videos instructing how to make a square knot, and yours was the most clear and informative than any other. Thanks again.

Mia McRae Hi Mia: we sell the cord at our bead shop in Upstate NY. Feel free to call the shop at 585-586-7230 if you would like to place an order with us. Thanks!
Christal Lindsay Hi! We sell the thin cord for $.95 a yard. And we sell the heavier cord for $1.25 per yard. Let us know if you are interested and we can arrange an order for materials. :-)
Awesome tutorial, and easy to follow. Thanks!
I tried this but it ended up twisting 😣 am I using the wrong string or making the box knots to tight? Help !
Hi! You might be working too tight with the knots. We also used braided nylon cord so that could be the issue?
I live your tutorial...very easy instructions...and I love you wire cutters...where did you get them?
Hi! From our website: www.mybeadkit.com/collections/tools-supplies/products/wire-cutters
Beautiful bracelet! What size is that bracelet? How do I know that size?
I measured it to my own wrist for sizing. You will need to measure it to yourself as a guideline.
it was helpful thanks👍❤
GREAT tutorial - thank you for explaining it so well.
Just a question, the glue you use, will it dry white or clear?
Thank you.
+Petra Duran-Smith Hi Petra! The glue we use dries clear. :-)
Using a nylon cord for this shouldn't really cause an issue right?
We used braided nylon cord.
Loved the video! Thanks!
Thanks so much for your explanation art work
Thank you!
I love them
Grandioso

Awesome
