Simple technique for tying an elastic bracelet knot with the stretch cord folded with a loop in the middle. This design makes a secure double strand beaded bracelet. Music thanks to IKSON! Songs are ‘Bliss’ and ‘You & Me’
Thank you. I've never seen this way of making an elastic bracelet before. I'm going to use this fore sure. It's great. I've been making jewelry for 20+ years this proves there is always something new to learn!
I like this way ! I make bracelets all the time but I'm gonna make some this way too. Thanks for sharing. I've been making jewelry for 10 yrs & have watched 1000's of jewelry making videos & haven't ever seen this way.. awesome!!
I've been searching for a secure knot for double stranded tila bead bracelets. My knots turn out so huge i can't hide them. This knot looks very compact. Will try. Thanks
The only problem with this stretch bracelet, it is hard to find elastic stretch that can be doubled stringed for gemstones that are .05… Most all of my gym strings are less than 1 mm. I do have 1 mm beats and 2 mm beats but most likely I will use those for leather. I’m actually a professional metalsmith instructor and I do love beating as well. I do not teach it. But I cannot find anywhere smaller retch elastic string. Hobby lobby, Joannes, Michael’s. Etc… are there some places I can look online.? Because it would be nice to be able to use your way that you tie or knot…???????
The one downside I can see to this knot is that it will be a little less than the strength of one strand. So stiffness-wise it might be feel the same as a double strand, but strength-wise it less than half.
Or, you can make one yourself with beading wire. Cut a piece twice the finished length you want, fold in half into a “V”, then cut it. Keep in mind the size holes in the beads you’re working with to determine what size wire to use.
I cut the end off a beading needle that is joined on both ends! Because I needed one to go through the loop. You can just buy beading needles and snip the end off
