Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Karen for Expert Village now we'll end our alternating square knot bracelet, I'm going to put a bead on the end, we'll gather all the strands together and trim them evenly, put a little bit of beads wax on the end to help us get the bead through, pinch them together and just put all those strands through and we'll just tie a regular knot, simple knot and pull the knot as close to the bead as possible. Pull it very tight, trim off the end, there's our alternating square knot bracelet. Has a nice lacy look to it, let me show you some of the some of the piece made with the finer hemp that you find in a beading store, this one starts with a square knot. It carries several beads, it has an example of the spiral knot and the finer hemp and then it ends with the braid, and you can see it, it makes a much more delicate but still a natural look. Here's one with a square knot and you can see how nice the square knot looks with the even and fine hemp thread."
