Tying the Knot on a Razor Blade Bracelet

Video Transcript

"JASON HARRIS: Hi, I'm Jason with ExpertVillage.com. And today, we're making a bracelet out of wire, coaxial cable, and we're using a charm for a razorblade. We've measured out the length of the wire for our wrist with the knots in it, and we've also marked where our first knots are going to be. So once again, fold your wire in half, make sure your first bead is in the center, lay it back down where you measured on your paper first. Now to tie the knot, this is the knot--the spot where the knot is going to be. We marked it off. That's going to rest on this side of the bead when the bead is in place. So put your thumb in the middle where you--at the edge, that's where the knot needs to be. Fold it over and actually tie--start tying your knot. You can move your thumb once you've got the knot started. Because basically all you need to do now is set your bead back down and you know where your knots gotta be. Your knot is clear up here, so you've gotta work it down and just--when you work it down, just take this piece, push it through up a little bit and then pull down on the back. And as you can see, each time you do that, it gets closer and closer to the mark. So do that. Pull it down and we're almost there, so one more should do it. Pull it down. Now, we're really close. By the time we pull that, which we're going to do now, they will be right in place where we need it for our bead. So pull your first knot and then we'll tie the other knots as we go along."
