Hey guys!
I have another bracelet tutorial to share with you.
Especially during spring and summer when we have short sleeves, I like wearing colorful
bracelets which can really transform the outfit.
Today I'm gonna show you how to make these beautiful bracelets.
All you're gonna need is a charm, string and literally two minutes of your time.
So let's do this!
For the bracelet you will need scissors, a lighter, a piece of knotting cord and any
kind of charm of your choice.
If you want you can add some beads to the bracelet like me.
Cut about 30 centimeters or 15 inches of nylon knotting cord.
Start by threading the cord through one bead and slide the bead about 10 centimeters or
4 inches along the cord.
Take a charm, I chose this infinity sign and thread 4 inches of cord through one side of
it like so.
Now we're going to create the first sliding knot.
Place the charm and the cord to a flat surface in the same way as I did, having the shorter
part of the cord above.
Make a loop like this and cross the bottom part of the cord.
This is the shape you need to have so far.
You can see kind of an & sign shape or a head of a cute animal.
Take the work into your hands carefully like so.
With one hand hold the cross of the string parts, I'm holding it with my thumb and pointer
of my left hand.
Take the shorter end of the string and coil it two times around, while holding everything
with your left hand as you go.
Then coil the cord one more time, but now thread the tip through the loop.
Push the coil to the right, while pulling the tip at the same time, until the knot is
tight.
And there you have your first sliding knot.
See how the knot slides along the cord?
This will allow you to take your bracelet on and off your wrist easily.
Now we need to repeat the steps and make the same knot on the other side of the charm.
First thread the cord through a bead and slide it 10 centimeters or 4 inches along the cord.
Then thread 4 inches of the cord through the charm hole.
Place everything on a flat surface, as we did before.
Take the upper free part of the cord and make a loop and then cross the bottom part of the
cord.
As you can see, we again have the & sign shape here.
Take the work into your hands and hold the cross of the string parts between the thumb
and the pointer.
Coil the end of the string two times around like so.
Then coil the cord one more time, but don't go all the way around.
Instead thread the tip through the loop.
Push the coil to the right, while pulling the tip at the same time, until the knot is
tight.
And now you've finished your second sliding knot.
Sliding knots are awesome solutions for bracelets, necklaces or anklets.
They make your accessories adjustable in size, so you don't need to buy any metal closure
pieces.
Also you can take the jewelry piece on and off without damaging it.
To finish this simple but adorable infinity bracelet all we need is to trim away the excess
cord.
And to assure that knots will last forever, carefully melt the tips with the lighter.
The flame needs to barely touch the nylon cord.
And here we have a beautiful bracelet.
I love making my own bracelets because I can customize them exactly the way I want.
You can use the string color that matches your outfits.
Or if you're making it for a gift, chose the string in the favorite color of the person
you'll give the bracelet to.
Handmade presents always carry a special value and are a perfect way to say I love you.
I made three bracelets using different colors of knotting cord and different charms.
I love how simple but cool they look and the most important is that they only take a couple
of minutes to make, which is just wonderful!
Now tell me if this wasn't the easiest bracelet ever.
I really hope you'll give it a try!
Few weeks ago I noticed that our YouTube family already has a hundred thousand members.
I'm so thankful to all of you that have supported me along this journey and I promise to keep
making best videos I can!
I already have a lot of ideas for my upcoming tutorials and I'm so excited to share them
with you.
Okay, that was it for this video, I love you and see you soon!
Bye.
