      I came to look for how to tie. I had already gone through all my beads WITHOUT a needle. It just doubles the work.

    Wow I’m blown away !! Thank you so much for sharing ♥️ Im literally just starting out with my 4 yr old how thankfully is getting creative.
    So I was just looking on eBay after buying beads the other day then it dawned on me we have no cord, so after looking up some on eBay I discovered from a seller there is all types of thickness!! It took some time but I got it lol
    Then I was about to buy some so I read the description and low and behold the kind lady added something on the lines of,
    “ If you think just tying a knot in you cord/bracelet is enough, it will not hold for long ! Please go to YT to see how to stop this happening”
    So I found your channel again Thank you for showing us all how to achieve this.
    Subscribed about an hour a go but,school run’s a must, just had time to leave my comment.

    Thank you for this tutorial! I made my first two bracelets tonight and they came out perfectly using this method.

    Thank you!!! One of my ALL TIME FAV bracelets broke… I bought the cord and tried several times before deciding to look it up! You explained this perfectly and now I have it back! Kudos!
