How to Use the Beadalon Bracelet Knotter Tool

Courtesy of Beadalon®
H54Y
STEP 1
Place your Bangle Form or Cuff in the opening in the foam part of Katie's Knotter Tool.
STEP 2
Push the bangle to the bottom of the foam.
STEP 3
Attach the foam to your work surface with the C-Bar. You can also attach the foam part onto your work surface with a Tacky Mat.
STEP 4
The C-Bar is designed to fit most table top thicknesses and will gently hold your bangle or other types of bracelets in place while you work.

Note: This tool can also be attached to any work surface with a tacky mat.
STEP 5
At the end of comfortable length of B-Lon Thread (about 5 feet.) Tie an half-knot around the Wire to secure it in place.
STEP 6
Pull the knot tight.
STEP 7
Tighten the knot against the Crimp Connector.
STEP 8
Continue to tie half-knots by making a loop on the right side of the bangle.
STEP 9
Bring the end of the B-Lon OVER, AROUND, THEN UNDER the wire, and UP through the loop as shown.
STEP 10
Tighten the knot against the first knot by gently pulling up and to the right.
STEP 11
Continue to tie half-knots around the wire. The knots and thread will naturally spiral to the left. When the B-Lon Thread is positioned too far to the left to be comfortable to knot, pull it underneath the Wire and back to the other side.
STEP 12
After you've repositioned the B-Lon, continue making half-knots.
STEP 13
The knots will naturally spiral around the wire. Make sure your knots all rest next to each other and do not overlap.
STEP 14
When you reach the Crimp Connector, continue knotting around it.
STEP 15
Cover the Crimp Connector completely.
STEP 16
Cross the two Threads one over the other to form the bottom of a Surgeon's Knot.
STEP 17
Wrap the Threads around twice to form the top of a Surgeon's Knot and pull tight.
STEP 18
Use the WildFire Cord Cutter to cut the B-Lon Thread.
STEP 19
The heat of the WildFire Cord Cutter will also fuse the thread ends.
STEP 20
You can embellish knotted bangles with tassels or charms.

Note: These instructions show one of the easiest knots. Experiment with other knotting techniques, knits, and materials.
