How to Tie a Sliding Knot Like

a Pro
August 12, 2009 | Author: Jean Campbell | 20 Comments

I was lying awake in the dark this morning thinking about the first time I really fell in love with beads. Oh,
I’d learned how to string macaroni on yarn and fell in love with the beading process pretty early on, but
I’m talking about really falling in love with the beads themselves. And, as often happens in the middle
light of a groggy dawn, I had the most wonderful memory regarding a sliding knot.
When I was about 8, my brother had a friend, Al, who was just like family. You know, the kind who walks
in the front door unannounced, opens the fridge, and asks, “What’s for dinner?” Al was like a brother to
all of us, and when he took a trip to Peru he brought back gifts for the entire family. I received a leather
cord bracelet with large wooden beads.

Knowing what I know now, the bracelet probably came from a street vendor who had a thousand of
them for just céntimos a piece. But at the time I thought this bracelet was magical. The beads were
plain: dark brown, wooden, with one simple circle carved into each. They felt very exotic and, in our
family of seven kids, there wasn’t a whole lot of exotic to go around the table.

I had a hard time figuring out how to put the thing on, though. It had a sliding knot clasp that I’d never
seen, and my exotic deprived family members certainly weren’t any help. It wasn’t until Al came over
again to show me how to slide the knots toward each other to loosen it, away from each other to open it,
that I could put it on. I loved this bracelet and wore it until it fell apart. It looked great with my purple bell-
bottoms and Holly Hobbie sweatshirt.

How to Tie a Sliding Knot

Tying a sliding knot is a little tricky, but is a great technique to add to your bag of tricks; especially if you
use leather or satin cording. If you don’t use cording that often, you might want to consider incorporating
it into your stash. It adds a different texture to jewelry patterns and is quite inexpensive. Designers, such
as Candie Cooper, who used it in her Sunny in the Outback necklace for Stringing Summer 2009,make
me want to run out and buy a whole host of cord colors. In that same issue, Margaret Sherman shows
off a great looking bracelet that incorporates both leather cord and wire, giving me ample ideas for other
jewelry making techniques.

Besides the fact that the sliding knot is used by some of our favorite crafters, it’s also a great way to add
that same exotic and bohemian flair to your work. This type of knot allows you to showcase the cord or
whatever other material you’re working with without adding an extra material and component that can
drain your budget and take away from the overall design of the piece. The clean, textured look of the
sliding knot makes it great for dainty, simplistic designs.

Use our sliding knot bracelet instructions to create cool friendship bracelets—the sliding knot friendship
bracelet is a classic, after all—and incorporate it into your necklace and earring designs if you want to
add a decorative knot and a closure in one. Interweave can help you master all of the most complex and
basic bracelet making techniques to round out your arsenal. Make sure to subscribe to Stringing and
take advantage of our other great jewelry making resources!
While you’re waiting for your first issue of Stringing to arrive, pull out some leather cord and try this knot.
It can be done in a couple different ways, but here’s how I do it. After going through the following steps,
make sure to practice making a sliding knot on some basic string bead designs!

1. Measure your desired bracelet or necklace length and double it (or

triple it if you want the knots to sit fairly close to one another when the piece is worn). Cut that
length of cord. String any wide-holed beads you want to add to the cord.

2. Loop the cord into a circle. Grasp the cord that’s lying on top 5″ from
its end; make a fold so the cord bends back onto itself (this will be your working cord). You’ll
have 3 cords side by side.

3. Loop the working cord around, to the back, and underneath the
other cords.
4. Wrap the working cord around the other cords again. Note that
you’re moving away from the bend, not toward it.

5. Make at least 2 more wraps as before. Be sure you’re wrapping 2

cords, not just 1.

6. Pass the working cord’s end through the wrapping, exiting from the
initial bend.

7. Pull the working cord’s end to tighten the knot.

 8. Turn the piece over. Repeat Steps 2 to 7 to form a second knot.

9. Trim the cord ends close to the knots. Slide the knots along the cord
to open and close the piece.

Pretty cool, eh? Did you already know this knot? If so, what have you used it on? Share your knottiness
on the website. In the meantime, I think I’ll put this bracelet on and see if I can rustle up some cola-
flavored Bonnie Bell lip gloss, just for old time’s sake.

DIY | Leather Wrap Bracelet

I wanted to come up with a new leather wrap tutorial for a while now and I am really happy
to pronounce I finally did. If you like to see my other bracelet tutorials please click  here. It
took me a while to wrap my mind around the "how to" because I wanted to create a braided
full leather version as an alternative to the tedious and time consuming version of weaving
beads in and out with bead cord between and around two leather strings. Once you get the
hang of the braiding rhythm you will see how quickly these bracelets are done and how
beautifully they will turn out!

For one bracelet you will need:

– about 2 meter leather cord size 2mm depending on how many times you want to wrap the
bracelet around your wrist (2meter length will wrap around 4x - you could do a shorter or
longer version by taking less or more length)
– 1.5 meter leather cord size 1mm
– 6 meter leather cord size 1mm
– about 140 little beads with a large enough hole to thread onto your shorter 1mm leather
cord piece.
– optional a little jewelry button or something similar from the bead shop

Of course you are free to choose different sizes of leather cord than I did but make sure
there is a thinner and a thicker cord and you are able to thread your beads onto the thinner
one.

O.K. - here we go! The right one is the version with no button. This bracelet will just close
with a loop on one end and a knot on the other end. Take your 2 meter long piece and fold it
into half. Take your 1.5 meter long piece and knot it around your loop as shown in picture 1.
Now fold the short end towards the middle and wrap your long end tight around all leather
pieces to create a nice beginning. ALWAYS pull gently! 1 mm leather cord is delicate and
you do not want to tear it. Please try on an extra piece how much you can pull before it
breaks so you get a feeling on how much strength you can use while pulling. By the way -
once these leather bracelets are done there is no danger of tearing anymore. The more you
wear them the prettier and softer they will become. Place a knot as shown in picture 2.
Thread all beads onto your thin cord and secure with a knot at the end to make sure they
don't slip off while you are working.

You could now cut the short end or - if your bead holes are big enough - you can hide the
end by threading it also into your first bead. So - Please pull up your first bead. Now take
your 6 meter piece cord and organize it into two equally long pieces. Don't cut it! You could
roll it into little balls for the beginning to make handling easier. Please take a look back to
picture 3. You can see my two organized balls of leather. Mine were much longer than 3
meter each because at this point I had no idea of how much length I would need for a
bracelet that long...
Place a knot right under your first bead.

Now start following closely and very slowly pictures 4 to 14. It is very important to carefully
follow each single step. In the beginning it's very likely that you get confused with over and
under. No problem if that happens. Just carefully pull it apart and start over with the second
bead.

You always alternate braiding over and then at the next bead under the thin middle cord. It is
very important to keep this alternating rhythm to secure the beads nicely in between the two
thicker leather strings.
Can you see the always alternating moves? You will quickly get the hang of it - I promise - it
looks much more complicated than it really is! Make sure you wrap the bracelet around your
wrist from time to time to see how much more length you need.
For the ending fold one of your thin braiding ends to the middle and wrap the other one
around all cords. Make the same knot you did in the beginning shown on picture 4.Now take
all endings and place a big overhand knot. Pull tight! Depending on the fit you could leave a
little room and then do another knot and even another one as I did on the last picture. If you
use a button piece on the other end then this little room between the knots will be the place
where to pull your button thru.
Have fun with it, and please ask if there is anything unclear - I am happy to help! You can

 6 Strands
There are three types of six strand braids, what I call the hard way, the easy way, and the half
round. The first two are round braids and the main difference between the two braids is the
amount of finger work required to create the braid hence "the easy / hard way". Before you
begin you should saddle soap your strands to make the braiding easier and more consistent and
for an average bracelet you need your strands to be about 18 inches long. I'll show 2 views of
each braid, a loose strand view so you can see where the strands are and a tight view for how
the braid should look. So let's get braiding!!
In these images I've started with 3 strands 36 inches long and made a 3
strand flat braid hoop in the middle to start a bracelet, you'll just have to
figure that one out yourself. I can't give away all my secrets. This image
shows how the strands are layed out to begin with and you can click on
any of the images to view it in a larger size.

Six Strands the Hard Way

Starting with
the top strand
on the right,
bring the
strand behind
to the left and
go under one
strand, over
one strand
and under
one strand.

With the top

strand on the
Left, bring
the strand
behind to the
right and go
under one
strand, over
one strand
and under
one strand.

With the top

strand on the
right, bring
the strand
behind to the
left and go
under one
strand, over
one strand
and under one strand.

With the top

strand on the
Left, bring
the strand
behind to the
right and go
under one
strand, over
one strand
and under
one strand.
I think you get the idea, working from each side
bring the top strand behind then under, over,
under. Since you repeat this same step on each
side this is considered to be a single step braid.
All that finger work getting that strand under,
over, this is why I, at least, call this the hard
way. Here's a photo of a braided length.

Six Strands the Easy Way

Starting with
the top strand
on the left,
bring the
strand behind
to the right
and go under
one strand,
over two
strands.
With the top
strand on the
right, bring
the strand
behind to the
left and go
under two
strands and
over one
strand.

With the top

strand on the
left, bring the
strand behind
to the right
and go under
one strand,
over two
strands.

With the top

strand on the
right, bring
the strand
behind to the
left and go
under two
strands and
over one
strand.

So with the left strand you go under one, over

two and the right strand you go under two and
over one. This is considered a two step braid
since your not doing the same braid each time.
Here's a photo of a braided length.

Six Strand Half Round

This is a nice looking braid that makes for an interesting alternative to the regular round
braids. It has a flat V braid on the back while the front still has the over under look.

Starting with
the top strand
on the left,
bring the
strand behind
to the right
and go under
two strands,
over one
strand.

With the top

strand on the
right, bring
the strand
behind to the
left and go
under two
strands and
over one
strand.

With the top

strand on the
left, bring the
strand behind
to the right
and go under
two strands,
over one
strand.
 With the top
strand on the
right, bring
the strand
behind to the
left and go
under two
strands and
over one
strand.
This is again considered a single step braid since you are
repeating the same under two over one braid all the way
down.

- 4 Strands
The four strand braid is fairly simple since there aren't many ways you can braid with a limited
amount of strands. In the images below I've shown the loose braid on the left so it is easier to
see where the strands are going. The tight braid, images on the right, show how the braid will
look as it is worked.

I've started
with four
strands tied
off in the
middle with
two strands
crossed.

Starting with
the top strand
on the right,
bring the
strand behind
and under
one strand
and over the
other.
Take the top
left strand
and bring it
behind and
under one
strand and
over the
other.

With the top

strand on the
right, bring
the strand
behind and
under one
strand and
over the
other.
I think you get the idea, working from each side bring
the top strand behind then under one strand then over
the other strand. Since you repeat this same step on
each side this is considered to be a single step braid.
