Thank you sooo much for this tutorial! I started a faith-based bracelet small business for my 10 year old daughter and the knots are literally our biggest nightmare. I use to do the surgeon’s knot but like you said, it’s too bulky and hard to hide in the beads. I’ll definitely try this technique! Thank you sooo much again! Be blessed! 🥰🦋🫶🏼
My youngest child has become interested in making beaded friendship bracelets this year. Thank you SO much for your user-friendly tutorial! Definitely the best I've seen 😁 Thanks from Ben & his mama!
Great video! Thank you! I was making bracelets with my little granddaughters and a few of the knots came out and they had to start over! They were so disappointed! I am going to use your method now! I loved all your tips!!!
I saw tons of tutorials using surgeon's knots and I've had to use one larger bead to glue the knot inside. I didn't like it at first but it kind of became something I liked.
Thank you SO much!! I tried like 6 times and every time other knots broke and my beads went flying. I almost called a jeweler to do it for me. I finally got it the way I needed it because of your knot recommendation. Thank you!
Thank you 🙏 Your video made it easy to understand and simple 🎉. I am a beginner so I watch your video and went shopping 🛒 at Amazon. We get packages stolen so Amazon has lockers safety and secure. I just pick them up before the 3rd day. Till our buildings get rebuilt and secure in the future. Thanks
Just to give u a small heads up the Granny & Square knot are the exact same knot. Btw have you ever tried G.S Hypo Cement glue it has like a teeny tiny needle tip for tight application (make sure u apply lid immediately after use) instead of the glue you use? It’s actually meant for beading & jewelry.
No they're not. As she said a granny knot is tied twice in the exact same direction. Granny knots usually tend to slip easier than square knots since the tie ends lie parallel to each other. A square knot goes right loop first then a left loop done the the same way in the opposite direction. If the square knot is slipping it probably isn't being tied correctly, as it's a very secure knot when done properly.
these are really cute bracelets. I always string my beads on the elastic before I cut it and I have my knot to the back of my wrist. I use a tiny dap of glue aswell.
Omg ty so much I been struggling but now im good to go .I'm so stoked to maje so many fir my daughter!! keep up the great work. First time on channel. It's like you make it so easy . Ty gurl
Helpful hint: Always remember to put Vaseline ( the dollar tree generic works too) on the stem of the E6000 put a good amount then screw the lid on & off a couple of times and it prevents the glue from gluing the lid shut.
I love the video and I definitely want to try using the glue. However, I am having a problem finding Ninja Cord in normal retailers like Michaels. They did have it at beadventure but I think they’ve just sold out. What other products do you recommend using for string options? Usually I use Stretch Magic. But don’t know if you can use that with the glue?
Oh my gosh you're right, I just checked and a bunch of places are out of stock of Ninja cord! That's too bad, thanks for bringing it to my attention. Yeah I never saw it in any retail stores either, I bought mine from Beadsventure like you mentioned, I see they are sold out. Maybe I'll test out different stretchy cords to give us some options. My generic advice is that I've found thicker cord to last longer than thinner cord, but I can do some testing with the glue! Thanks again
@@elorajoelle I appreciate you taking the time to respond and happy testing! I will be looking to see if they restock on Ninja Cord. I’m curious now about different cording.
Great job! I love the knot as well! You are so right about the bulky knots... all I've been doing is using crimp covers but either I crimp them down too much and they cut through the cord and ugh-beads EVERYWHERE!!!! Or, I'm actually looking for suggestions, could it be the e6000 glue is too strong for Stretch Magic brand cord? Plus I just realized that I bought the cord on the largest spool they had, and maybe it gets weak with age? It's probably 5 or 6 years old. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I just tried your knot My granddaughter (shes 6) is into making bracelets and necklaces we’ve done quite a few knots that didn’t work. We’re using 1.5mm stretch magic we had for bigger beads. The beads this time were tiny and barely fit on the cord so the bead wouldn’t fit over the knot after it was tied which is what I’ve done before. I didn’t have E600 (going to buy some now) so I heated up a corn cob holder (its all I could find) heated the metal end it and melted it which worked great until I tried to melt off one of the ends instead of cutting it, I touched the wrong spot and it melted thru and it broke it in 2. She is heartbroken because “she worked so hard and long to make it. So what kind of stretchy cord are you using? I’m going to buy the E600 & I want to buy the same cord so that it will work.
I don't know if this thread is still active, but if anyone knows where I can purchase reasonably priced, gold "filled" not "plated" spacer beads, can you please, please share the link. It seems most are gold plated, which is beautiful, until you wear them for a little while and then tarnishes quickly. A lot of vendors advertise them as gold filled, but they really aren't. I am trying to start a very small business and don't want to sell customers something that tarnishes fast. I want repeat customers and good reviews. I have searched so hard and don't have funding to buy from multiple vendors trying to find authentic spacers. If anyone has actually tried/tested them, your help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I love the way you keep it simple but so effective. I would never have thought of the crimp beads. Thank you.
I use thinner elastic and I push knot inside one of the beads. I think polish/varnish top coat would do as well?
My issue is that the beads I'm using are too small to fit the knot inside
Awesome. I have a few Swarovski bead bracelets that need repairing. I am going to give this a shot.
My youngest child has become interested in making beaded friendship bracelets this year. Thank you SO much for your user-friendly tutorial! Definitely the best I've seen 😁 Thanks from Ben & his mama!

I love the crimp cover idea!!!
Great video! Thank you! I was making bracelets with my little granddaughters and a few of the knots came out and they had to start over! They were so disappointed! I am going to use your method now! I loved all your tips!!!

Luna is beautiful. Thank you for keeping her a part of the tutorial. I'm subscribing to your channel. Hope to see Luba more.
Thank you! I always feel like my bracelets looks unprofessional bc of the knot! Now I can conceal them thank you
Thank you SO much!! I tried like 6 times and every time other knots broke and my beads went flying. I almost called a jeweler to do it for me. I finally got it the way I needed it because of your knot recommendation. Thank you!
Finally, I can tastefully finish my bracelets without sloppy knots. And I already own the glue. Thank you Elora!

This is really good I love this
The bracelets you made are so cute and now I know how stretch bracelets are made before I didn’t thanks 👍😊
Oh and I love your name 😁👍🏼

THANKYOU!!!! i have no clasps and clasps are way overpriced at stores here so this really helps!
Love this video - helps me as a first time beader ;) Thank you!
Omg ty so much I been struggling but now im good to go .I'm so stoked to maje so many fir my daughter!! keep up the great work. First time on channel. It's like you make it so easy . Ty gurl
I will make it. Thanks for sharing
loved this so much it was so informative and easy to follow i will definitely be trying that knot method 💕
The square knot and granny knot look a lot alike. What is the difference? I’m new to making jewelry. Loved your bracelets.
with the granny both knots have the same side of the elastic over the other one, in the square it's opposite (I hope this makes sense hahaha)
Thank you so much for this!
I saw some really cute WWJD and HWLF bracelets but they were expensive. So I'd rather make my own lol - THANKS!
Making your own bracelets let’s you express your creativity and is more fun 😌😌
Helpful hint: Always remember to put Vaseline ( the dollar tree generic works too) on the stem of the E6000 put a good amount then screw the lid on & off a couple of times and it prevents the glue from gluing the lid shut.
Thank You,it's really big help ☺️..I just want to ask what kind of glue is that? So I can buy also the right one fit for diy bracelet. God Bless ♥️
Thank you for sharing this! 💕
So good❤
I'm new to this an your explanation was great. Very
Appreciative
The inter net said that e6000 glue takes 24-72 hours to dry and I do not have any. Can I use gorilla glue instead? Do you know any other substitutes?
it helped me a lot thanks for the tutorial
Thx for this tutorial 😊
Very creative .. thank you for sharing
I like you, your very nice, you love your cat (bonus 🐾🐾) and you are the teacher I want to help me, so thank you…🙏🏼♥️
Hi, im really struggling on hiding the knock, thank you I'll keep trying. Paula
I am just getting started, so what size thread do you use and I want the clear like you had here. I will be using like vintage heavy stones
What size beads do you use ? lovely bracelets.

Hello I live in the UK so we don’t have that glue or cord. What could be a alternative to that glue? Is it like a super glue? Thank you
Im so going to try this💗
Brilliant thank you❤
where did you get the bead board to measure? do you happen to have another video where you talk about how to measure and map out different sizes?
What size seed beads did you use? And what size were the letter beads? Thanks
EXCELLENT❤️ Thank you very much!!!

So helpful! Thank you. What are the crimp clips?
If making and selling the bracelets..... Do I make a standard size or do u check with the customer for their wrist measurements?
this will make my sells with my bracelets go up a new method thanks you
I’m having trouble finding the crimp covers… any suggestions?!
My knot isn’t that small for some reason and it’s so bulky. I’m only tying it twice though.
Do you think this might will hold that well enough to sell to the public
Great video. Thanks!!
Love it!! Thanks!!!👍☺⭐
Thank you it was so easy🌷🌷
Full support from Philippines
May I ask what kind of beads are the turquoise beads?
What brand/size string and is there a link to the crimp cover that you used
Love this
Thank you I tried another one but it didn’t work, I love the colors
Thank you!!! Super helpful!
Wonderful
very good tutorial
Great video but the knots looked the same what makes them different? I use 6mm stainless beads and pull them through those.
Thx for this tutorial! And my daughter's name is Alora ❤
Boa Noite Elora! Parabéns pelo seu trabalho. Eu Amei as tuas Pulseiras. Ficaram todas Belíssimas. Arrasou 😇 😍 😍👏👏👏👏👏
I don’t have the same board so my measurement looks a lot different. Can you tell me how many inches that is?
What size are the seed beads?
i need this tip because i make bracelets and i sell them this is perfect
Great instruction video👍Ty 😊
You have an awesome name! From Willow?
Can I know what glue to use?
Have you ever tried using a strong fishing line for say a necklace?
Do you know what size crimp beads you use? 4mm?
same question.. so I’d know what to buy
what pliers are those?
Thank you so much!
what are the beads called that you used
They're called seed beads.
is the glue compulsory? 😥
What type of glue?
Thanks that was helpful 👍🏻
I sent you a question to both your Instagram and Etsy accounts. Is that the best way to reach you?
