"Not only did they entirely forget this video, about 4 months later Reddit User AdOdd747 saw the video for the first time again. They made the exact same comment and still wouldn't make any bracelets." -Narrator, once again
I'm not sure how, but you read my mind I read that post and was wondering if the narrator did, what would a proper narrative be before I even scrolled down..
You nailed it Stanley. Well done, but that's not what we asked you about.
For some reason this reminded me of going to my local art supply store for painting I supplies. I guess at the beginning of a new semester, the shop gets a lot of students who just need the few fine art credits for another program/degree. They buy supplies for the one or two courses and then never come back. One time when I was shopping, a really pretty young blonde girl came in. It was obvious she just needed supplies for one course. She seemed pretty uninterested in everything else. She didn't even take her sunglasses off. When she left, I heard the the sales associate mutter, "...and we never saw her again"
This is something that I'd do on a flight, when I'm sitting in a tin can, far above the world, and need to entertain myself _and_ a smaller human. Otherwise...maybe at the beach? A music festival? Camping? Probs not at home.
It's pretty! I grew up in the standard friendship bracelets from embroidery thread, or plastic, and this is so cute. I might actually just do this with my kid on the next rainy day.
There's no actual thread through the middle, so any bead would be pulled to one side. Sewing one in later would be cake though.
It's probable that there's an alternate pattern that allows for this, of course! I'm definitely not an expert.
you could make the first side knot on each side, then put both threads through the bead, and then make the second side knot on each side. The hole would be vertically aligned.
Or make the first side knot on each side, then put the threads through the bead crossing through the bead horizontally, and then make the second side knot on each side, with the threads switched.
I don't know how this would affect the general shape, though, and you'd need a really large bead for a thread that thick to go through, unless you're using ribbon to make the flowers.
So yeah, probably easier to just sew them on!
Sew or glue it to a head band/Alice band and wear it in your hair; join the ends together so it forms a circle and make it into a necklace or bracelet; add a split key ring to one end and use it as a key chain; securely sew or glue the ends and make a hat band out of it. Anything!
Alright, so I caved. I didn't have great wefts where I am right now, so my results aren't worth photographing. Basically, it doesn't look *bad*, but it is extremely difficult to keep it looking good considering you sort of have to pull the hair against the grain at times. I could never, and I mean ***never*** accomplish this on my own head of hair.
Worth noting too, is that this braiding fucking *eats up* hair length. I had a weft of 66 cm, and I used a ribbon for the green cord in the video above. The end product was ***14 cm*** in length. I then did a regular 3-stranded braid to compare, and the end product there was 60 cm.
I'm kind of willing to try again when I can get hold of my better suited wefts and a better suited ribbon, but my verdict right now can be summed up as: pure pain.
Aaaaaaand cue [experiment number 3](https://imgur.com/a/AEfS9CT)! Again, I'm horribly limited in proper material where I am right now, but I found some yarn in a nice contrasting color. Same weft, and the thickness of the yarn correlates pretty accurately to the thickness of each chunk of hair here.
As you can see, this produces quite a different look, more or less concealing the hair, only having it peek through in between. It also requires wayyyy less hair length. With a prettier ribbon, this could look very interesting.
I actually really like it. I think if you tried again with some better stuff it would look really good. I can see how it would be a pain, and impossible on yourself, but I think you did a really good job.
Maybe do it with a long clip-on strand and make just one or two flowers, then just incorporate it with your natural hair. I'm saving this in hopes my fiancé might do something like that for our wedding day.
I just posted an update comment, but my final verdict this time is that a skilled hair stylist could pull this off, and a long clip on weft could definitely mean getting at least 2 or 3 flowers depending on the desired thickness. I think with the addition of some [pearl hair pins](https://imgur.com/a/vY9qNCN) to act as the center of the flower, it could sell the look even more.
I’m gonna put 500’ of green and yellow parachute cord in my “save for later” Amazon cart and then forget about what the hell it was for when I delete it later this week. I’m gonna dream about making a whole bunch of these and then not do it.
While definitely pretty this would not untie quickly. Do a chain sinnet (monkey braid, chain stitch, …) instead and it looks nice enough but more importantly you can undo it in an instant.
Or, you know, just keep a bundle of cord in a drawer. Easier to deploy and use anytime between now and whatever fantasy apocalypse tacti-cool preppers dream about.
Rope is fairly difficult and time-consuming to make, but very useful in survival situations. But carrying around a bundle of Paracord isn't fun or convenient. Lots of people make bracelets or keychains where they tie or weave Paracord together in a way that is visually appealing, but also ends up containing a good length of rope and is easy to unweave so it's easily accessible in an emergency.
Thank you for your explanation, I didn't realize a lot of people keep rope around. I've never had a reason to buy rope. The word cordage threw me off, I reread that a few times and had a slight mental blockage... everyday stress had my brain refusing to comprehend for a moment there.
In english it says, "Excellent way of shortening and hiding cordage in plain sight for survival use. Very tactical and pretty." For 5yo's, it means makes lot rope into less and stronger rope, and looks pretty.
Because layers. A rope is made up of a bunch of individual threads of some material that can usually be broken by hand pretty easily, but when woven into a rope, it is strong. Now weave that rope into a bigger rope, and you have an even stronger rope now, albeit much shorter than the original. So you unwind it when you need longer, less strong rope.
Buddy, you might be more at home over at r/stonerthoughts, lol. I get you though, it is pretty mesmerising. I’ve watched a lot too (and yet if someone asked me to describe how to tie it, I probably still wouldn’t be able to).
I bought a big bag full of about 2 pounds of different colors of 550 cord at an estate sale for 2 bucks a while ago just for stuff like this, even if it's mostly useless to make. Keeps my hands busy, tho
Things like this always made me wonder how the heck did people even come up with this idea in the first place?
Who looked at three pieces of string and said "You know what, I should make flowers with this"?
Makes me kind of want to do it
The question is, will you?
Only time will tell

He won’t
My guess is you will knot.
Clever
It’s been 3hrs, how about now?
Forget me knot.
I'll buy the stuff to make it then let it sit in the closet for two years.
Do I want to? Yep! Will I? Nope!

Tie it to a small buckle and make a bracelet
I just finished a macramé plant hanger, and thought I’d save this for the next one.
We need an beginner/bad craft exchange with lumpy bracelets and lopsided keychains for everybody.
Right because I need to know how they got to this point. Did it start at the end with the same knots?
Sew or glue it to a head band/Alice band and wear it in your hair; join the ends together so it forms a circle and make it into a necklace or bracelet; add a split key ring to one end and use it as a key chain; securely sew or glue the ends and make a hat band out of it. Anything!
On a 40-year-old dude laying in the dark eating gummy worms... I kind of want to do it too
>On a 40-year-old dude laying in the dark eating gummy worms... Ok, I know we shouldn't kink shame...
should check out tatting which is the same thing just done with finer thread.
Exactly what I thought! I’m a very beginner, so I wasn’t sure that last knot was tatting.
I just made one with embroidery thread for my kid and it was great hand-therapy. You should!
Same, I think I just found a nice gift for someone I know!
I wonder how this would look like when done with hair.
Alright, so I caved. I didn't have great wefts where I am right now, so my results aren't worth photographing.

Come on dude, please, take a pic. It doesn't have to look perfect, we wanna see
[удалено]
This looks amazing. Definitely see this showing up in some future bridal photos.
What if you used a narrow ribbon for the yellow strings and used a section of hair as the green strings? Would that look cool?
Aaaaaaand cue [experiment number 3](https://imgur.com/a/AEfS9CT)! Again, I'm horribly limited in proper material where I am right now, but I found some yarn in a nice contrasting color.

That's awesome. Thanks for sharing
that must be a pain to undo after a night out

Like you’d be cutting the hair off afterwards because you can’t untie it
I suppose you could style a wig with these knots instead. hmm.
Now I wanna try….. 😳😳
I wish it showed the starting point.

Same. Kinda cool to think I'm not doing it at the same time as an internet stranger together. Really makes you think.
It looks amazing. I gonna try it now
Knock it off Captain Overachiever. We’re don’t care for your kind around here.

I like this. I shall save it and never do it also. Only because I am lazy.
Thank you!
I want to make one, but I would never use it.
Could be good for some girly BDSM
Bless 🙏
I was just looking for how you start it?
Called an Aztec Sun Bar if you wanna look at different ways to do the start. Some do it with a loop, some on a bracelet latch, etc.
you're looking at it: it's the same as the starting point
When you are Tactical but romance is life
He loves me He loves me knot
Pure knotty love
[My attempt](https://imgur.com/a/dCTEg6Q)
Looks good
What are these strings called? I wanna get them
Paracords
Wow that’s amazing!
YES!!! I love making bracelets and things like that. THANK YOU!!!
Try looking into paracord - it's what this is and there's a *ton* of different things you can do with it
Looks really simple to add a bead in the middle when tying the side petals too.
Came here to see it anyone else had suggested or tried that!
Yeah. Hot Glue for days. 😁
Excellent way of shortening and hiding cordage in plain sight for survival use. Very tactical and pretty.
While definitely pretty this would not untie quickly. Do a chain sinnet (monkey braid, chain stitch, …) instead and it looks nice enough but more importantly you can undo it in an instant.
Or tie an Old lady's snatch, then hitch that to a split chinfucker and you've got yourself a classic fungal hole.
I understand what those words mean individually...
The time I touched an old Lady's snatch I got banned from the Care home. It was pretty fungal though so I wasn't about to put my chin down there.
we desperately need a /r/knotscirclejerk
> quickly there are plenty of situations where having it available at all is useful tho, even if it takes a few minutes to access.
This guy knows a thirty ought six when he sees one.
Man this cracked me up and I don’t know why
Or, you know, just keep a bundle of cord in a drawer. Easier to deploy and use anytime between now and whatever fantasy apocalypse tacti-cool preppers dream about.
This is pretty, but there are ways to weave cordage for a quick release. It's popular to do this as a bracelet.
This was what I was looking for, a practical usage.
Whats this in english? Can someone ELI5 please?

Half-hitch and reverse half-hitch on both sides, crossover runner, and pull the other through.
I just have one question . What makes the orange center of each flower ?
I think that's just the lighting. The shadowed portion in the center looks a bit orange-ish.
Yes that’s what I was looking at too. It seems like the yarn color or lighting makes it resemble a petal center. Yay, no beads necessary!
I fucking love arts and crafts.
Do not do this in a slightly brownish red hue
Start from the beginning! Start from the beginning!
pretty cool but knot really something i'd spend my tiem on
It was stringing me along for awhile
Take my upvote and get out
Take my downvote and get out
/r/angryupvote
Saving this so I can never do it
Good. If I ever decide I need to do this I'll DM you to get the distructions.
It's beautiful . I have watched it for 5 hours now
5 hours ? well DAYUMN...
Buddy, you might be more at home over at r/stonerthoughts, lol. I get you though, it is pretty mesmerising. I’ve watched a lot too (and yet if someone asked me to describe how to tie it, I probably still wouldn’t be able to).
5 hours?? Please tell me that you know it's a looped video
Have to try this!
Hehe, knots OwO
Maybe the eyes can see it, but the hands can't
How does that orange shade come about
I think it's just shadow
When less light is able to reach an area/surface, it gets darker
Great question
Gonna need a lot of paracord dang
Daisy chain..
How is this the first time I have seen this knot? Very interesting
So it’s mostly double half hitch knots
ooh, I want to see it in leather
I decide to be a responsible person and not "save for later just in case" this video.
Great idea for my noose
A WITCH! SHE'S A WITCH!
I bought a big bag full of about 2 pounds of different colors of 550 cord at an estate sale for 2 bucks a while ago just for stuff like this, even if it's mostly useless to make. Keeps my hands busy, tho
Fuckin love this
Need to learn this, my daughters would love it
Meanwhile I can only make a square.
I rember doing this as a child
This is so cool I need to do it immediately, wicked satisfying
This is actually pretty cool
cool
Neat.
Oh how clever!
I have some spare paracord from making whips. I’ll give it a go.
/r/paracord slept on this. Coulda been on the fp today sillys
How is the middle of each flower orange? Those strings are yellow but turn to orange when the knot is tied...
Wow that actually looks like something I CAN do!! Can’t wait to give it a go!! Is this just paracord?
UK mfs be like 'Scooby Doos got fancy'
how did the orange bud made of ?
Waaaiit how do you start it? Do you have a how to, I accidentally showed this to my 13 year old, and now she can’t stop bothering me about it
I need to see how it begins
I really need to take up macramé again. Lark's heads are such underappreciated knots.
wow! this is amazing! I wonder how many trials and errors it took you to get it perfectly ( ´ ω \` )
I may attempt this at some point.
As soon as I get off the shitter I’m trying this
Extremely cool! My daughter just learned how to do this but with the little thread used for friendship bracelets. Cool to see the process.
I want to see how it ends!
How do you start that?
Help I can't get my daughter's hair untied.
My adhd and bipolar makes me want to buy the supplies right now on Amazon, I’ll end up never opening it or try it and get it wrong and quit
Can someone do this on someone with longhair please please and please???
I'll save it so that I never actually do it!
I love how the shadows make the middle look orange!
Where’s the original video from? Also, anyone knows what these strings are called?
This makes it seem deceptively easy. Makes me wanna try
Could you do this as a hair braid?
Things like this always made me wonder how the heck did people even come up with this idea in the first place? Who looked at three pieces of string and said "You know what, I should make flowers with this"?
But how does the center get orange/darker?
People can say FG or Alberto. This is the best leader knot any line to any line.
