everytime i tie the end, the knot comes undone and explodes in class. any ideas on how to tie it so it doesn't do this?

crystal tech string isnt good for singles, like others have said, use elastic or this kind

https://www.amazon.com/Paxcoo-Elastic-Bracelet-Str... /safe

the string i linked works for me on all my projects, i use it for everything, from panels to x-based cuffs! but yeah, its great for singles.

also the basic square knot isnt as secure as other knots, i usually grab both ends and tie it like a balloon. tug the knot down if you do it like this, it will make the bracelet tighter and make it fit better.

hope this helps! happy

After you tie it put a lil drop of glue on it if you're using the clear stuff

clear nail polish on the knot works for me

if its a single, use elastic not that plastic string stuff, if u are using elastic, tie it a few times. if its a cuff, what annek said happy

for if youre tying off a cuff and only have one end of string::

you can loop your excess string under the string thats already being used to hold beads in place, then do an overhand knot with each side of your excess string! i usually tie mine off around 4-6 times big grin

tell me if this doesnt make sense, i can try to explain a bit better !

I normally use a basic knot and tie it off 5 times max^^ 3 times min! So maybe just try tying it a few more times than usual and do a test stretch before being done! /pos /gen -Anubis
