Wooden beads tend to have larger holes than other beads so you need cord that is thicker than you would use for typical stone beads.
The type of cord you need is one of these: -hemp 1mm or 20lb test -macrame cord -waxed irish linen necklace cord -1.5 mm leather cord -2mm waxed cotton cord -satin rattail cord
The switch knot is a decorative lacy macrame/ hemp jewelry knot that helps you save on twine too. This tutorial shows you how to tie one with clear pictures and instructions.
A sliding knot is a wonderfully easy way to end off a leather, string, hemp, or corded necklace or bracelet. It looks neat and stylish, is a very practical closure, and is very easy to make.
