Tying a Basic Beading Knot

The referenced video describes a method for tying a knot when beading. This is important for securing your beads and preventing your project from unraveling.

  1. Create a Small Loop: Pass the thread through a bead or the existing thread of your project. Continue until you are left with a small loop.
  2. Pass Through the Loop: Pass the end of the thread through this loop two times.
  3. Tighten the Knot: Pull the thread down until you feel the knot tighten. Pull really tight to secure the knot.

This technique is useful for:

  • Securing the starting thread.
  • Adding new thread to your project.
  • Finishing your beadwork.

By following these steps, you can create a strong knot that will hold your beadwork together.
