I really want to make this but as a necklace, approximately how long should my cords be for a choker type style?

@JaneThomas58 2 года назад

How much would you charge for one of these?

@knackforknots 2 года назад

@@JaneThomas58 Hi Jane! Thanks for your question. I used to charge $8 CAD for these two years ago (not including shipping). I price my handmade items by adding together the cost of the materials, the time it took me to make the item, and then multiplying this by a certain percent (i.e. 10-15%) to account for other materials you need (i.e. shipping materials, scissors, etc.) Hopefully that helps! :)

Hey! I don't have the most sophisticated setup. I use an entry level DSLR camera (a Nikon d3300) and a cheap tripod from Amazon 🙂 I am certain most phones these days capture great quality video, so you don't need to invest in any fancy camera to get started! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions! Good luck with your video making adventures 😊

@kehauwahilani8706 3 года назад

Do you have to double the core strings? Can you single core thread too?... I'm thinking it might be easier if using seed beads

@knackforknots 3 года назад

Absolutely! That would work out. The bracelet will be a little narrower than the one I have demonstrated. Happy knotting! 😊

Hi! I loved your tutorial thank you so much for posting it! But I just have a question, do you have to use that particular kind of thread or can you use embroidery floss as well? I really appreciate any help thank you in advance! :)

@knackforknots 2 года назад

You can certainly use embroidery floss!! However, sealing the ends will be a different process. Instead of melting down the ends, you can try using jewelry adhesive or clear nail polish! Hope that helps! 😃 thank you so much for watching!! 🤗

@kimbrown9412 3 года назад

Any way to avoid the black singed look when melting the ends?

@knackforknots 3 года назад

Hi Kim! Make sure to hold the ends close to the flame, not directly in the flame. This will allow it to melt and not burn. Otherwise, I have found with wash and wear over time that the singed look fades. Hope that helps! Thanks so much for watching ☺

Hi Emily! Thanks for your comment. You can check my blog post on cord here: knackforknots.com/waxed-polyester-cord/.

@sandimiller5187 2 года назад

what is the length of the beaded part?

@delana3524 3 года назад

Can I also do this with bigger beads? The beads I wanna use are about 6mm. I really love this technique but I don't know if it will work. They are also spheres, more like gemstone beads by the way

@knackforknots 3 года назад

Absolutely! It should work out. The amount of string needed should be roughly the same, since you will likely make fewer knots but your beads will need more string around each one. You might need to try a few iterations to see if you need to add or subtract string ☺ happy knotting 😃

@knackforknots 11 месяцев назад

Hi there! You can try out the "G-S hypo cement" from Michael's Crafts! It is meant for jewelry and makes it perfectly waterproof 🙂 I have used it for ends and closures of embroidery floss and hemp string - it is great!

Are there different measurements for a man's wrist and larger beads? A bracelet we got on vacation broke. Trying to repair or remake.

@knackforknots 2 года назад

Hi Tia, thanks for your question! I haven't adapted this to larger size beads, but you can try adding ~1 inch for every larger bead you are using. I always find that it's better to have excess string at the end than to not have enough! Hope that helps!! Thanks so much for watching ☺️

@phoebezhou4076 4 года назад

I have questions how do you make sure the ends don’t untwist?

@knackforknots 4 года назад

Hi, Phoebe! To make sure the ends don't untwist, make sure that you do not let go of the ends of the strings until you have tied the overhand knot at the end combining the two strands. While you twist each strand individually, you can tape the other down to make sure your string doesn't untwist. Otherwise, you can use a clipboard, or try to hold onto all the strings at once as I've shown here. It might take a few tries to get the tensions right :) it took lots of practice for me to get the twists to be consistent. Hope that helps! Thanks so much for watching 😊💕

Which ones are the core strings? I’m confused

@knackforknots 3 года назад

Hey there! They are the two shorter strings used for threading the beads! We tie the square knots around these "core strings." Please let me know if it still isn't clear! Thanks for watching my tutorial 🙂

@kimbrown9412 3 года назад

How in the world do you get both strings through a 6-0 bead? I can barely get one through.😭 I got 1mm cord (not the brand you prefer because it was sold out😢). It frays easily, I tried singeing the ends to stop the fray. But still could get both strings through. So sad because I really wanted to make this bracelet but as an anklet. I have a bunch of 6-0 beads. Love your tutorials btw. You make it look so easy and it’s definitely something that requires practice...

@knackforknots 3 года назад

Hi, Kim! 🙂 Thanks for your comment and for watching my tutorial! Beading on these fraying and splitting materials can be so frustrating. I can suggest a few approaches: (1) You could try modifying the bracelet to only use 1 core string instead. The result will be a slightly thinner bracelet. (2) If an end starts fraying for me, I usually snip off a few millimeters below the start of the fray and keep going. (3) You could also try using bead threading tools to pass the strings through the beads. (4) You could try using a very light layer of craft glue or clear nail polish on the ends before starting your next project. (5) You might even want to size up on the beads if you like the thread. It's a lot of trial and error, which is an ongoing process for me as well 🙂 hope that helps!

@kimbrown9412 3 года назад

Was 36 inches the size of your wrist ?

@knackforknots 2 года назад

Hey! My wrist is about 5.5-6 inches in diameter. The square knots actually require quite a bit of cord to form each knot, which is why I arrived at this measurement after trying it several times. Hope that provides some clarification! 🤗
