"JASON HARRIS: Hi, I'm Jason with ExpertVillage.com. And we're making a bracelet out of wire and coaxial cable. We've just tied the first knot to keep the bead in place, and we need to tie the second knot. We don't actually need to mark anything. The second knot has got to be right of the edge of this so also we have to do is tie this knot. Just like before, you can keep moving the knot down. Keep moving it down to where it's at the back of the bead where it needs to be. So as you're--there you go. As you're tying it and then putting it into place, remember that you had extra length for beads so you can measure with your first mark. If I can even see my last mark and see how much--see if you have used up too much space so far. We haven't. We've only put two knots in there. We know now that we can't tie another knot without putting the charm in the center. If we start tying knots here, we're going to have to undo the glue on the charm and that will break the safety pin. So we're going to actually put--pick which side you like for the--obviously the side with the most blood. I'm going to pick the front. So just put that through the hole. You don't need to put a knot to keep this in place. It can be free to move around a little bit. In fact, it's better if they can move around a little bit. That way it doesn't get stuck and jab into you somewhere. So now that we've got the first bead on there and the first two knots, we'll tie the first knot for the second bead and it's going to be the opposite way that we did the first one. So we'll do that next."
