Quick Project Steps
Prepare the Cord: Cut a 14-inch piece of 0.8mm knotting cord and apply super glue on the ends to prevent fraying and ease threading.
Thread the Beads: Once the glue is dry, fold the cord in half and start threading your chosen beads onto the cord, securing with a knot at each end to keep them in place.
Create the Slip Knot: Cut another piece of cord (about 10 inches) for the slip knot. Lay the beaded cord flat and tie the new piece around it with an overhand knot to start the macrame section.
Macrame Knotting: Perform a series of macrame knots to create the adjustable slip knot section, ensuring to glue the final knots for security.
Finish the Bracelet: Trim any excess cord and apply a bit of glue to the ends if desired. Adjust the slip knot for fit.

I find it difficult to navigate the pages. When I am looking for something specific, there is not a place for me to simply type in what I am looking for.

I've been a professional beader for around 25 years. Your website and tutorials are simply the best. Well done! Don't change. Not happy with purchase of 3mm round crystal AB nor the 14mm and 18mm rivolis. Poor quality crystals. Dull.
