i have a tip for all you guys who are struggling!! when you are tying off a ring, bracelet, necklace, etc, you will simply use the FIRST step of tying a shoe, then act like you’re tying a normal knot but loop one end through the hole TWICE. once you pull it tight extremely tight your beads will stay in place!
actually for me, using the surgeon's knot only once, as you describe, --> for every 6 tries, 3 of them break open while i'm wearing it. very frustrating picking up beads all the time. I'm trying to find bead cement but have no idea where to buy.
See the comment below your post..it actually works..hand sewers know this...also a little known secret is when sewing to make your knot and run the needle back thru it. Really i think they are mostly just IGNORANT click baiters
For anyone who needs help making a bracelet or necklace, do the surgeon's knot. Then repeat 3 to 5 more times. You won't need the cement/glue. You're welcome.
however does making multiple surgeon's knots produce a very large and visually intrusive knot? and it won't fit inside bead after several knots. Can you please explain ? thank you, any info is useful!!!
I was having a difficult time creating a knot with .5 magic stretch. So what I decided to do is buy some metal crimping pieces and they hold the knot in place and they don’t look bad at all.
After about five attempts and replacing the elastic, I managed to get the knot to stay by - pulling the cord as tight as I can -using nail polish (which i have been substituting for hypocement, etc. because it’s what I have and have read that it works) in three locations on the knot (under each end and on top of the knot) before cutting the ends of the knot off - keeping the knot pulled tight while waiting for the nail polish to dry -testing the knot before cutting the ends off the knot by pulling on the beaded bracelet on both sides of the knot -avoiding stretching the cord while cutting the ends (I had thought stretching to cut would help hide the ends in the knot) - then adding nail polish all around the knot after cutting the ends I don’t know why I’ve previously been able to make the knot stay for two precious bracelets without so many attempts. I wonder if it becomes more difficult as the cord ages.
You never said what size you were using... the 1mm is much more difficult to tie and have it not pull apart... it pulls itself loose, no matter which knot I use. Tips would be welcome! Ty everyone 😊❤️
What is the 'figure 8 knot' suppose to do? It doesn't hold two ends together, all it does is make a knot (as you show), so you can't really use it for a bracelet. And the surgeons knot - it will pull apart after stretching it in opposite directions to put on your wrist, so, yes, make sure you put the glue on for sure and hope it helps. I followed these knots exactly. These knots are not helpful.
@@Bombchellebettie There is a threaded stretch cord that is a little different to work with, but it is a lot easier to knot AND a lot easier to hide the knot in a small bead hole! Search online for "crystal stretch cord."
so at first i was like "wow he has some beautiful top coat" props to him, then i realize it was the lady that was tying as he was speaking >.> lol fiar enough. i did like the surgeon knot, however the instructions on your actual product notes the triple over hand knot. The reason i ended up coming across this video was that i was looking for a knot that wasn't as bulky, glad there are other knots that works with your product.
Yeah, don’t understand why they showed that. It does not work to tie two separate ends together at all. The girl was looking at the guy afterwards like “ya sure that’s what you want to tell people to do?”
Everyone says the video is cringe and the music is 90s. I didn’t find it cringe. And I loved the 90s, who didn’t? People these days think everything is “cringe”. By the way, the proper term is CORNY or CHEESY. Not “cringe”.
Completely worthless. I have stretch magic and I've watched too many videos to try to tie a knot that stays, every single one the knot completely unravels it won't stay knotted. I know how to cut the ends off, you should've showed how you tied the elastic ends together, still though I can't get the knot to stay.
The figure 8 knot, or the first knot she demonstrates at 2:49. It should keep it small enough for you to hide it in a bead. I would still maybe add a little glue, just to be sure it stays secure.
@@stretchmagic Will one brand of glue work better than another? Are used gorilla glue, but it comes out rather thick, and takes a very long time to dry. And in the meantime, I’m stretching out the cord, otherwise, the knot comes undone.
@@dakotap3008 Yes! You can also try an E6000, because it's a silicone glue, it'll help keep the stretch. And you can buy it in a small tip, made FOR jewelry. Just google it, and there's a few places that sell it on Amazon. It might work better for you.
I have a friend that needs a stretch bracelet with lobster clasps at each side to add her medical I.D. charm/ tag. I have been trying to find a way to secure the knots but have 1 side adjustable so it could be tightened if needed. HELP!
it works, but I keep trying the knot and I do it again and again and then it just gets really tight to the point where I can’t even get it on. i tried to put the bracelet I made using this string but it literally broke so this is a waste of money.
Miss when you could burn this shit together instead of wasting your time on tying ineffective knots and having to buy more glues and random crap to fill my craft boxes. So many people want Chokers and rings but this is not making this any easier
BeadHaven on UA-cam has an excellent tutorial on tying stretchy cord for beaded bracelet. It has been a lifesaver for me! My beaded bracelets are secure!!! She does hers without GS Hypo Cement, but I still dab a bit on my knot. - Melissa
This doesn’t exactly work the way they’re showing when you have f**king beads on the string. Their packaging sucks even more cuz it basically shows you just tying about 8 knots.

This is BULL I keep trying and the knot never keeps hold. I pulled really tight and when I stretched it the string broke 😤 WASTE OF MONEY
me too
use cement or e6000

Yea same because I'm trying to make a ring but it doesn't tie no matter how hard I pull it
actual tutorial starts at 1:20

No, actual tutorial for the knot is 3:05. Who the fuck doesnt know how to string beads?
I like that jingle (and the product)! 👍

Doing this creates a very visible and bulky knot that the wearer will feel.
I was having a difficult time creating a knot with .5 magic stretch. So what I decided to do is buy some metal crimping pieces and they hold the knot in place and they don’t look bad at all.
You say to repeat three to five more times. I’ve found the more knots that are made, the bigger and more visible the knot.
After about five attempts and replacing the elastic, I managed to get the knot to stay by
- pulling the cord as tight as I can
-using nail polish (which i have been substituting for hypocement, etc. because it’s what I have and have read that it works) in three locations on the knot (under each end and on top of the knot) before cutting the ends of the knot off
- keeping the knot pulled tight while waiting for the nail polish to dry
-testing the knot before cutting the ends off the knot by pulling on the beaded bracelet on both sides of the knot
-avoiding stretching the cord while cutting the ends (I had thought stretching to cut would help hide the ends in the knot)
- then adding nail polish all around the knot after cutting the ends
I don’t know why I’ve previously been able to make the knot stay for two precious bracelets without so many attempts. I wonder if it becomes more difficult as the cord ages.
That intro though!!!!😂😂😂😂. I just bought this last week. Tfs....
yeah kinda hurts the ears ... and makes adrenalin go through the roof.
Like an old 80s ad😂😂
I have two beaded chakra bracelets that were starting to stretch. This is a great video and i found the first knot much easier to do. 😀
This song is gonna get stuck in my head.
When you see "Updated" in the title, but then you click on the video + get hit by the song + its just too late to turn back now...
Thanks for this great video, answered all my questions!

Ty everyone 😊❤️
I'm guessing that's what the glue is for?
Look up Bowline knot..works amazing for thicker cord!
FINALLY I can make a surgical knot - Thank You !
we had to burn your beepin stretch magic to get it to stay

Totally! I thought I was crazy! I sat for an hour trying that figure 8 knot! It DOES NOT WORK for a bracelet 😂🤣😂🤣🤣😆
Thank God I'm not alone.....i was legit screaming after watching it at x.25 speed 4 times
Wtf!!! I'm glad I read the comments!!! I'm over here going crazy trying to make this damn figure 8 on a beaded bracelet!!! Bs!!!
@@c.williams3480 the only thing that's worked for me is a surgeons knot with a dab of jewelry glue
@@theplainest surgeon's knot been working wonders for me even sans glue
The .5 mm stretch magic does not hold, no matter what type of knot you use. There are probably better products out there.
Same!!!! Can someone help?
same for the sparkly 1mm.

@@Bombchellebettie This video is a great tutorial on how to use the threaded stretch cord: ua-cam.com/video/jN_Azx7bPlI/v-deo.html
Drop of superglue makes it hold
Just buy crystal string from any craft store or from Amazon. Way cheaper than this junk and works a lot better. Also, it'll hold your knots.
Thank you I bought mine at Michaels and can not get any knot to hold with out the glue!
I will try this suggestion
How do you tie the 1.5 mm?
Thanks for this tutorial. Stretch Magic is terrific!
im just trying to tie a beepin knot and you can't tell me how the beep to do it
I loved the intro!!!

The first knot will not work when you have beads on the string

figure 8 knot makes no sense for tying two loose ends. you just put a knot in a single strand. what am i missing? ty

I know how to cut the ends off, you should've showed how you tied the elastic ends together, still though I can't get the knot to stay.
Your 1mm is horrendous to tie off! No matter what and is hard to stretch! I will be returning! They were out of the smaller ones. 😥
Can you tell me which of the knots will create the smallest, undetectable knot.
The figure 8 knot, or the first knot she demonstrates at 2:49. It should keep it small enough for you to hide it in a bead. I would still maybe add a little glue, just to be sure it stays secure.

knot keeps coming undone and I don't hypocement, what should I do?
The first knot demonstrated does not bring two ends together and the second one doesn't hold lon enough to even apply the glue
you didn't hide the knot?
Incredibly unhelpful. Use the actual stretch magic when showing the knots.
Maybe they don’t use it because it’s too hard to get it to work 😂
Esmeralda be so fine
it works, but I keep trying the knot and I do it again and again and then it just gets really tight to the point where I can’t even get it on. i tried to put the bracelet I made using this string but it literally broke so this is a waste of money.
