Sliding Knot – Instructions for Leather & Fabric Cord
🧵 Leather & Fabric Cord with Adjustable Knot
A leather or fabric cord with an adjustable knot is the ideal choice if you want to wear your gemstone pendant flexibly. A soft fabric cord for gemstone pendants, in particular, is practical as it feels comfortable on the skin and is easy to adjust.
🔧 Step-by-Step Guide
1. Prepare the Cord
Lay your cord in front of you so that the two ends slightly overlap.
2. Wrap One End Around the Cord
Take one end of the cord and wrap it several times (2–3 times) around the other cord.
3. Thread the End Through the Loops
Thread the end back through the created loops and carefully pull it tight.
4. Repeat on the Second Side
Repeat the process with the other end of the cord – also wrap it around the opposite cord and pull it tight.
5. Adjust the Knots
Now you can slide both knots against each other:
👉 Pulling = Cord gets shorter
👉 Pulling apart = Cord gets longer
