Super simple elastic bracelet knot for a secure connection on your stretch cord bracelet.
In the video we use 4mm seed beads and 0.7mm elastic to show our favourite elastic bracelet knot.

what i did when it kept breaking, put some clear nail polish and it was a bit more secure, i pulled it though while putting the nail polish. hope this helped a bit for some people whos bracelets keep breaking!

@knotqueen Ай бұрын

Yes that would work better than nothing! But nail polish/super glue can be brittle, the jewellery glue has a bit of ‘flex’ to it so is better but you can use other things if you don’t have any jewellery glue available! 💫🌻

To be absolutely sure I won’t loose beads in case the bracelet breaks, I take 2,5 times the length of a single cord and go though all the beads a second time (I’ve got a head stopper before the first bead, or the cord through it 3 times when I put it on the cord). When I tie the knots as in this video, I wrap it around the first cord too. I use glue for the knot as well (Bondic dries in seconds with black light). If a bracelet breaks, it’s never on the knot.

Great video - thank you so much. How many milimeters should a bead be, to be able to hide a knot inside?

@knotqueen 8 ай бұрын

Glad you enjoyed it! It really depends on the size of the hole, and size thread you are using. If you are using 0.5mm thread for example you need a hole at least 1mm wide to fit a knot made with 0.5mm thread. 0.7mm thread and 1mm thread knots are even bigger (usually about double the thread size for the knot) so really depends more on the hole/thread size, not the bead. Hope this helps 💫

Need better quality beads. If the colour is rubbing off, they are just coated and not good quality. Try a quality glass or gemstone bead. Good luck 💫

@michellebirdwell9430 7 ай бұрын

Can you share what mm and brand/type of elastic you're using? I can't seem to get this knot to stay secure with the thicker clear type (almost like a fishing line but stretchy) but the more elastic string type works better.

@knotqueen 6 ай бұрын

The bigger the elastic the harder it is to secure a knot. I use 1mm elastic for bigger beads but this is harder than 0.7mm elastic which I use for beads up to about 6mm. Hope this helps 🌻

Absolutely could be the cord! The bigger it is, the harder it is to secure as well but some cords are just better than others. You could try a 0.5mm cord and then work up, but pay extra attention to pulling the knot right after/working some of the cord through the knot. Good luck! 🌻👍

@knotqueen 3 ай бұрын

Did you take a lot of time/care on gently pulling the knot tight? You need to really make sure the elastic is pulled through the knot a little to lock it in place. 0.8 is getting a bigger size of cord and the bigger it is, the harder it can be. I’d try a thinner thread if you have any (0.5mm or 0.7mm) or some elastic threads are better than others. My favourite is stretch magic. Keep trying though! Good luck 👍
