    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! 🥰🦋🫶🏼

    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

    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.

    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.

    • @GlenaGarrett
      @GlenaGarrett 3 роки тому +2

      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.

    • @danamaybee

      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)

    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?

    • @elorajoelle
      @elorajoelle  3 роки тому +4

      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

    • @kimedwards7978
      @kimedwards7978 3 роки тому +2

      @@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.

    • @lorigail2010
      @lorigail2010 3 роки тому +1

      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.
