Sliding Knots Finishing Technique
how-to finish jewelry
 With the sliding knots finishing technique, you have a very easy way to finish your thong or cord jewelry. It is fun, intriguing, and groovy way to go. It requires nothing but the beads you need, and the thong/cord of your choice; no clasp, crimps, pliers!
Slidiing Knots Finishing Technique works best with leather thongs because it allows the knots to slide better.
Steps:
1) Cut a thong with a minimum length that will give a loose fit over your head. Make it longer if you would like to have a long-to-short variable length necklace.
2) String your beads according to your design.

3) Place the ends of your thong so that both ends of your thong overlaps and the ends are sitting directly opposite from each other.

7) These sliding knots can be moved up and down which gives you an adjustable-length necklace.
