Adding Bead One to Spiral Knot Hemp Bracelet

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Karen for Expert Village. Now I’ll show you how to add some beads to our spiral bracelet and also a way to help you when you are working with the spiral. Because the spiral wants to twist naturally so if you add a small piece just tie it through your loop and we'll tie it on to what ever you are securing your work to just tie it right on there you can use any kind of a knot and that will allow the piece to twist and rotate as you are working on it and it will be easier to work on. Okay I'll show you we'll secure our carriers and continue to do a few knots and that way the piece will twist and this will take up the extra twist. Okay now to add a bead here you release your carriers and we'll trim our ends. They are a little uneven. And the bead I'm using has a small hole and the two ends are not going to fit in there even with the bees wax their not going to fit in there so let me show you what you can do. I am going to put wax on one of them. We're just going to string it through one of the carriers and put it right up through and just let the other carrier hang down and then we'll continue with our pattern we’re always looping on this side because we're doing the spiral and pull your knot right up to the bead like that, secure your two carriers down again and continue on. There is your loop two, three, and four, and then we'll add a center bead."
