Thank you for including that knot tutorial using a rope so that it can be easily seen! Now I finally understand how to do the knot! I couldn't see it just using the tiny elastic string which so many people demonstrate in their videos. Using a rope was genius!

4:56 - Measure the string 5:22 - Pre-stretch the string 6:20 - Washi tape (or binder clip) the end of the string 7:09 - Beading needle and starts beading 8:40 - Tying the bracelet together (Stretch Magic package instructions) 9:28 - Surgeon's Knot (Demonstration with bracelet) 10:51 - Surgeon's Knot (Demonstration with rope) 11:55 - Finishing up the bracelet, snip off excess string 12:03 - Finishing up the bracelet, use G-S Hypo Cement glue to secure your knot 13:10 - Use a crimp cover to hide your knot (optional)

Very clear concise with not a lot of needless chatter. Perfect for someone with ADHD like myself. Love this video wish others would learn from you on how to make a DIY video that teaches a person exactly how to do something without endless blah blah blah lol. One of if not the best DIY videos ever made!!!!

Double surgeon knot didn’t work for elastic cord

@shineseriddick9442 День назад

I love you, I could not figure out for the life of me how to do that knot..thanks Queen.😍

@maddygvanlifer435 7 месяцев назад

I've had 2 of my favorite bracelets break and go everywhere at church. It took me forever to find all the beads. I was worried a small child would find one. So this tutorial is excellent! Thank you!!

@susanpdavis62 Месяц назад

Love the knot tieing demo with the big pink cord. Made the procedure so clear.

@loriurbaitis7951 3 месяца назад

Very helpful video thanks. I did the crimp bead over the knot and it looks great. Thanks for the tip.😊

@lisalisa8348 Год назад

I am so happy to have found your video!!!🎉 I used to make stretch bracelets...and they either stretched out or broke. So I stopped making them. But I've wanted to try it again and have been looking locally for a class. No success. Tried again today by doing an online search and TA-DA ...I found you. I feel excited to try again. Thank you. And I will be checking out your site.

I love it! Thanks for the knot technique. Very helpful. Question: Can I stretch the entire roll of the elastic or should only stretch what I need at the moment?

@kimberlyschwabe2854 6 месяцев назад

This is such an incredibly helpful tutorial!! I wish I had watched it before making 25 bracelets for the Eras Tour show! 😬 I think I might take them all apart and redo them now so they don‘t break! 😂

@rjlupin.variant Год назад

Oh my gosh tysm. By bracelets always come apart. I do have one question though, instead of using that glue, would like a nail polish top coat work??

@billiebrooks694 Год назад

Can u please show the knots , for the adjustable bracelet, i think it's the square knot with the colorful large rope.Would be so helpful.

@christinemoseley5040 Год назад

Will the metal bead wear the elastic over time? Just wondered because it will not be a smooth as the beads.

@BeadedByLilC Год назад

Thank you so much my beats don’t pop now, but I have one question what type of beads were you using the colorful ones

how to hide the knots in smaller bead bracelets ?

@williampayne342 6 месяцев назад

Thank you.

@lindacusick3386 Год назад

I’m new to making bracelets. What I’m finding is using a needle with the elastic and seed beads, it ends up being too thick to go through the bead. I ended up just using my fingers, however, to make several bracelets at a time, it is so time consuming. Do you have any solutions? Thanks so much!

@karensauls4834 Год назад

very helpful...thank you so much!

@kristan2402 Год назад

I didn’t pre-stretch my string for several bracelets I just made. Would you recommend remaking them to be safe? I’ve also been using the same string you are using but I doubled the string. What I have been worrying about with that is that the string weakens in the beading needle by the end of making it. A couple times the hoop that was looped in the needle snapped. I wish I could take a picture of what I’m trying to explain lol! I apologize I am a little sleep deprived hah!

@Vvvvvwwwvvvv Год назад

This happens to me, too; I understand exactly what you mean! Wish I knew the solution!

@KekeChannel0215 Год назад

This was so helpful 👍🏾!

@kathydawson5958 Месяц назад

I tried this numerous times and it would not hold. 😢 I was using 1mm cord. Could that have been the problem? So disappointed.

@HandmadeByAlejandra Год назад

Do you have to use glue if you don’t have it or don’t have the money for it

@jamieyates5977 Год назад

I want to make several bracelets as gifts. How do I know how long my elastic should be & how many beads I need? I know it will be an estimate.

@Wonderhoe69420 Год назад

Measure your wrist or their wrist to compare. If you can’t guess compared to yours. Teh average length is 6in-8in

@MissHK786 Год назад

Soo helpful ❤

@fayspaint 7 месяцев назад

the double sailors knot works on every practice thread and yarn i used but not the elastic string i have for my bracelets, why is this? it's a 1 milimeter thick, clear elastic thread

@cryptobullinternational6202 Год назад

Will the knot come open if you don’t use glue

@veryfancypigeon Год назад

Are there any good hypo cement alternatives?

@vanapa9 Год назад

can guys use this stretch for bracelets ?? My hand size is extra large 10"-10 1/4 " at widest part when i close my hand as small as possible. Will it stretch easily enough..or will this max stretch cause it to break ??

@LuvOllieoop 6 месяцев назад

You can cut off as much string as you need for any size. My niece and I make them together and hers are very small and would not fit my wrist so I use more string and more beads. You can even cut enough string off the spool to make a necklace.

@ericagibbs6096 Год назад

Awesomeness 🌈🫶🏼🌻🫶🏼❤❤❤❤

@LoriCrawford-n1c 6 месяцев назад

The knot, you glue it, what happened? Before it's dry, what do you do with it? The beads are sticking together, I don't know what to do?

@Sticks45 5 месяцев назад

You do not need to glue them. Make 5 single knots and then 2 surgeon knots. It will not come apart. Before you start, pull the elastic as far as you can for FORTY times. This will take the slack out but not the stretch. Your bracelet will keep its shape forever. 😊

@davidmorgan2428 6 месяцев назад

can anyone tell me what the strongest elastic is for this type of thing?

@Sticks45 5 месяцев назад

.8 doubled

@isaacsanchez2766 4 месяца назад

I have alway wanted to make a bracelet🎉

@davidmorgan2428 6 месяцев назад

Very nice lady thankyou x

@lindsayelias5806 9 месяцев назад

This didn’t work for us. It fell apart and we followed instructions to the T. Any idea why? The knot comes loose immediately.

@dianemadigan3252 5 месяцев назад

I think it depends on what brand of stretch elastic that is used.

@cassiebish Год назад

Can you please tell me where you purchase the g-s hypo cement glue?

@theneonteaparty Год назад

Yes, it's available in our shop! Along with all of the other supplies you see here! Anything out of stock will come back into stock soon, so you can always go on the waitlist for any item you're waiting for. :) Here's the link to the glue: shop.theneonteaparty.com/collections/beading-jewelry-tools/products/g-s-hypo-cement Thank you!!

@isabeaublea8008 10 месяцев назад

I only have hot glue. Would that work as well?

@theneonteaparty 10 месяцев назад

Hi there!! Please do not use hot glue for this. You can burn your fingers and melt the string/beads! Glad you asked! -Marisa

My string slips out when I try to stretch the whole thing out at the end even though I followed the steps correctly, is it the cheap string or is it me who's the problem? 😭🤣
