How to Tie a Blood Knot with Leather

In todays Tuesday Tip I show you how to tie a blood knot with leather. In this how to video I show you how to make a leather keychain, but the blood knot can be used for lots of purposes: including splicing two pieces of leather strap, saddle strings, and the other things that I mention in this clip. If you have any requests for tuesday tips, feel free to leave them in the comments below.

Isn't it called a blEEdknot?

[@sandragates8035]

it would have been nice to show in detail how to do the blood not. This guy knows how but failed to show anyone that does not know. how to do this.

[@karensmith7384]

This is a bleed knot!

[@minerblue9641]

Thanks for a very useful technique. No hardware showing, thats cool!

[@bijasatterlee5725]

You did not explain how to tie a blood knot in any way. I couldn’t see what you were doing and u did not explain anything.

[@kenh8979]

Thanks for video - a very good instruction. Years ago I used that knot on saddle stuff, but never fully understood what I was doing, just copying an existing knot. You made it clear. Thank you

[@beadthewaybysc401]

Very nice! How wide and how thick is the leather you are using in this video?

[@NelHas2Now]

Thank you for posting! This is just what I was looking for as an alternative!

[@brandit2207]

I couldn't see how he did it even with slowing down the video

[@deberashannahan1910]

cut the top pull bottom through cut the bottom strap that is now up top close to the split of the first cut and then pull the original top piece where it is yet again at the top repeat as many times as needed for what you are working on.

[@ewayne1527]

What thickness of leather are you using?

[@sandihuffman6326]

How do I attach a clip for horse reins to a blood knot or mystery braid?

[@angelarovai7937]

There is another guy the does a bleed knot on a dog leash that might answer this question

[@gordonhazel697]

Thanks for that, just got a set of strings for a couple of saddles to install. good little vid cheers

Seems like a perfect way to make ear savers for masks...

[@DexLoke]

Leather is pretty durable but with that cut in and having a tug and pull over time does it not split open?
