To make a friendship bracelet adjustable, you can use a simple sliding knot. This involves creating a loop on each end of the bracelet and using these loops to form a sliding knot that allows you to adjust the bracelet's size.
The YouTube video titled "Adjustable friendship bracelet knot - simple sliding knot!" demonstrates how to create an adjustable knot after making the bracelet design, which in the example is a simple three-strand braid.
Here's a general outline of how to create an adjustable friendship bracelet, synthesizing the information available and general knowledge:
Steps to Create an Adjustable Friendship Bracelet
- Create Your Bracelet: Braid or knot your friendship bracelet to your desired design and length, leaving tails on each end.
- Forming the Loops:
- Take one end of the bracelet and form a loop, ensuring the tail overlaps the main part of the bracelet.
- Repeat on the other end, ensuring both loops are facing each other.
- Creating the Sliding Knot: This is the trickiest part. You're essentially using the two loops to create a knot that slides along the main bracelet strands. Unfortunately, without detailed instructions from the provided references on how to specifically tie this type of knot, the process cannot be explained thoroughly.
- Tighten and Adjust: Once you've tied the sliding knot, gently tighten it. You should now be able to slide the knot along the bracelet strands, making the bracelet larger or smaller.
