I made a round bead bracelet and a bracelet with skull beads made from yak bone. I used three strands of Paxcoo Crystal String. This knot's fast, easy, and durable. Holds up well to stretching. 👍 Thanks for the tutorial. 😃
amazing~ can this method also be used w non elastic threads and stuff? i've been using invisible thread thats used for sewing cos thats what my mum had and the craft store was out of elastic :c
It looks so easy when you do it, but I can't get mine to knot either. As soon as I let go of the knot, it just springs undone. If I do get it knotted, the knot comes right undone as soon as I pull it to make it tight.
Hi Connie. You have to tighten the knot pretty good and you might try a dab of adhesive like E6000 which is flexible when it's cured (if you're using a stretch cord). If you're not using a stretch cord and are using a fiber (nylon or silk) thread, we strongly recommend an adhesive like Araldite or GS Hypo Fabric Cement, as they soak into the fibers and create a better bond. We hope that helps.
Thank you! I was actually having trouble tying the knot. It actually took me almost a half hour just to tie the knot. Then I did put some glue and a dab of nail polish on it, so I'll see what happens. :-)
Fire Mountain Gems and Beads I’ve been looking at the threads on your site and need some help. I’m looking for thread to string 3 mm gemstone beads with a 0.5 mm drill hole. Which kind of thread (that’s 0.4 mm) and needle would be best?
Fire Mountain Gems and Beads do I did am overhand knot over the square knot and then put e6000 on it. Seems to be secure now but we will see tomorrow I guess...my cord is too thick to easily hide the bead also...I will have to get smaller cord.
If you're using a fiber (nylon or silk) thread, we strongly recommend an adhesive like Araldite or GS Hypo Fabric Cement, as they soak into the fibers and create a better bond. Just watch out for accidentally gluing your fingertips together (happens to me all the time....)
I have a problem with Powercord elastic not holding ANY type of knot. The only elastic that knots for me is Opelon. Yes, I bought the glue, cord, beading board, and needle from you.
Hi Sophie. You might try using a little dab of glue on the knot then. This is an excellent glue to use - www.firemountaingems.com/itemdetails/h206620bs Hope that helps.
Sadly, I’ve tried and tried this knot with ‘Stretch Magic,’ on pre-stretched cord, it comes undone immediately. There must be another way, it simply shouldn’t be this hard to tie a knot that stays a knot, without unraveling straight away!
The stretch cord does have a tendency to come undone. We would definitely recommend trying a drop of E6000 glue on the knot to keep it firmly secured but still flexible. Here is a link to the E6000: www.firemountaingems.com/1949TL.html
Hi Kelly. The surgeon's knot is used in a lot of jewelry making applications, but there are always other options too. We recommend using what works best for you and your creations. Thanks for watching!
This was the best video I found for the surgeons knot

@@FireMountainGems how do you tie knots off so they dont show?
Thanks for the tutorial! Will this work on 3 mm beads?
Yes it will!

what is that intro song
We're sorry, but we no longer have that information.
Thats an indian song "tera chehra"
I'm using .8 elastic. I'm trying to practice but my knot isn't staying. I don't have the glue yet but still it won't stay
We highly recommend gluing those knots - especially with elastic that small - we think you'll find it makes a big difference. Thanks for watching!
My knot keeps coming back open...I keep trying but it doesn't seem secured.
Did you try the dab of superglue on the knot? That often works.
Fire Mountain Gems and Beads do I did am overhand knot over the square knot and then put e6000 on it. Seems to be secure now but we will see tomorrow I guess...my cord is too thick to easily hide the bead also...I will have to get smaller cord.

Fire Mountain Gems and Beads it is stretch magic rubbery cord.
okay!
If the E-6000 doesn't hold, consider trying the GS Hypo Cement. It works well with smooth surfaces.
lmao trolled so hard

It sounds like the knot isn't tight enough. It requires a strong tug to set the knot.
This knot comes undone with stretchy cord
We recommend using a bit of adhesive on any knot.
I’m using 1.5mm satin nylon cord and no matter what knot I do, it keeps coming undone 😭

A regular double knot holds better than this. This knot does not stay closed unless you use glue. Why even bother?

I must be a fucking idiot because it just slips out
