STANDARD KNOT

The standard knot can be used for closure of necklaces as well as for bracelets. It is a most secure way to fasten the ends of the string or lariat, because the knot never comes undone.


#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.
