Make your Sliding Knot with Ease!
Sliding Know is one of the basics to know when crafting your accessories. It is also super easy. The video tutorials below will show you two creative paths to explore to make the most of sliding knots.
Double Sliding Knot for Adjustable Necklace
Ideal for necklace and bracelet making, the double sliding knot allows you to adjust the length of your accessory easily.
What is it for?
- Fixed or loose pendant
- Semi-precious stone doughnut.
- Beads & cord necklace or bracelets.
What cord is the best?
That will depend on your taste and the effect you want to have in the end.
Nubuck cords or leather will grip a little when sliding. Therefore, they would be for a necklace you won't need to adjust very often.
Waxed cords are strong, slide well and come in many colours. They are ideal for pieces you wear close to the neck and need to adjust frequently when worn.
Single Sliding Knot for Adjustable Necklace
Add a touch of style to your necklace with a front and back pendant!
If you are wearing an open-back dress or a collar dress, a piece of jewellery on your back can bring a unique touch to your outfit.
Here, the cord you pick will depend on the look you want to complement. For a boho-chic look, I would pick nubuck or leather, add some feathers and wood beads. For a classy look, go for waxed cord with semi-precious stone beads or play with gold and silver.
Your back can be more complex and crafty than your chest pendant. It all depends on your dress. A strong print pattern could call for a calm chest pendant and a bold back pendant, for example.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
