Sharing buttons:
hi everyone its Kelly from Kelly's B
boutique so I had a request from a
viewer she would like me to show you how
to make a sliding barrel knot it's kind
of my thing this one is a really great
way to finish off a necklace it doesn't
have any hardware it's just a simple
knot come and join me and I'll show you
how to make them okay so all I really
have today is about a meter of two
millimeter leather hair you can use any
size of leather you want any length but
I do find a meter gives me the right
length and you can use any size so you
can use one millimeter 1.5 two
millimeter whatever floats your boat I'm
also gonna make this a little bit easier
by using a ruler so what I'm gonna do is
I'm gonna measure out about I don't know
four or four and a half inches like that
I'm just gonna move that out of the way
and I'm gonna take that and just sort of
bend it at that market does not have to
be exact at all so I'm gonna make what
looks like a little loop like that okay
so now I'm gonna take the other end and
I'm going to place it underneath going
in that direction so now it almost looks
like I have three pieces of leather here
so I'm gonna be working always with this
most inner part one here so I'm going to
now take that from behind and I pull it
around to the back and I'm gonna be
working towards my right hand so I'm
gonna wrap it around once and you can
see I'm kind of holding on to it so that
I don't really lose that and there's
twice and there's three times and now
what I'm gonna do is I'm going to take
that little end and I'm gonna put it
down through my loop so there's a couple
ways that you can do it you can just
take it and pop it down like that or you
could come up with your pliers and grab
the end like that if that makes a little
bit easier whatever makes it easy for
you so I'm just gonna regrab that
because I lost it okay now I've got hold
of that knot so I'm still holding on to
this end and now I'm going to push and
pull these little loops down so I'm
pulling on this piece
and I'm pushing and pulling on
everything until I get it down where I
want so I just keep pushing and pulling
now I'm going to make that nice and
tight because you don't want that to
come apart you don't want to use glue on
sliding nuts because it won't be able to
slide so that is pretty tight that's not
going to go anywhere except it's going
to move along here when I when I pull it
so you can see that that moves along
nicely so that is one knot so now I have
to repeat on the other side so now what
I'm going to do is actually I'm going to
double that I'm going to take that to
eight inches and I'm going to bring that
around and at about the four inch mark
is where I'm going to make my little
bend I want this to sort of be even so
now I've got my little three pieces
there think that out of the way make
that easier so I've got my outer my
middle and my inner piece so I'm gonna
bring that inner piece around and I'm
going to start wrapping once twice three
times and again I'm working towards my
right hand now I have to bring that
little piece down you don't want to try
and bring it up through that loop it
doesn't want to work so sometimes when
you only have a little tiny piece like
that it is really hard to grab so I find
that easiest way for me is I take my
pliers I come up through the loop grab
hold of it pop it through there
and then I can get hold of that okay so
now I'm gonna do the same thing I'm
gonna push and pull until I get a nice
tight knot that looks really neat and
tidy so now I've got my knots done so
what I do is I take a pair of scissors
and I trim it off and I leave myself
about half an inch and this one's almost
a half an inch but I'm just gonna kind
of clean up the end so now you can see
that you can pull that so that you can
have a nice long necklace or you can
pull them this way so you can have a
shorter necklace so I'm just going to
show you what it would look like as a
completed necklace okay so I just happen
to have this little geode here and this
one has an open bail which is kind of
nice because then I can pop it on
afterwards if you don't have a bail that
opens up you want to make sure to put
your PIN and
first but now you can see I've got the
knots down here because I've made it a
little bit shorter so you can use those
like a little bit of a design feature
and then if I decide one day that I want
to wear it longer all I do is pull them
back and you can pull them right to the
very end if you want get them nice and
tightly closed there and now you can see
I have I'll make that a little bit
shorter there you can see I have a full
long length necklace so I hope this was
easy for you to understand they're
really simple once you get the hang of
them they're super easy to do and such a
great way to finish off a necklace so
give it a try so if you enjoyed this
