STANDARD KNOT

Use the standard knot to close necklaces and bracelets. It is the most secure way to fasten the ends of a string or lariat. Pull it tight to ensure the fabric or leather does not slip.


#1. Fold the bracelet together and slide charms onto the center of both sides of the bracelet.


#2. Take the ends of the bracelet and loop them through the folded center.


#3. Fold the ends back to create a loop.


#4. Draw the ends through the loop and pull to tighten.
