How to tie basic knots.

Many of our pendants need cord necklaces.  To do this you need to be able to tie a few knots.  The most basic knot to tie is a 'overhand loop knot' or a 'double overhand knot'.  (It is exactly the same as the knot you use to tie a balloon - Overhand knot.) This knot is used to tie behind the back of the neck.  It is very strong & hard to undo.

Another knot that may be of use is the 'sliding slip knot'.  This allows your string/cord length to shortened once you put you necklace on. It is also known as the 'double fisherman's knot'
