I have always (right or wrong) used 2 lengths of cord for my bracelets. For 3 or more cords I will use the seperaters. (can't spell this morning!!)Hope this helps
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.
