These tower beads will often have a tassel right beneath them keeping them in place. For this style, where we're using the tower bead as part of a closure mechanism, we've left it loose so the bracelet can be quickly taken off. But once you've got yours on and sized to your liking you can tie a simple square knot underneath the tower knot if you'd like to keep it in place.
I completed the bracelet using the Natural Silk Bead Cord #7, 0,75mm. It came out beautifl except that it will not stay closed. It just slides right open and falls off. Is this because of the cord I used?
Easy to follow video ~ thank you ! Question: how do you keep the tower/guru beads from sliding down & opening the bracelet? My bracelet is “perfect” with the exception of this issue. Appreciate any feedback you can provide.
Great video looks really easy I'm ordering my supplies now
That was great i have so much trouble with the guru bead😑💜🙏
Great tutorial everything came out great but my tower bead slides down to the knots is it supposed to do that?

Thank you so much!

We can confirm you are supposed to tie a knot with the 2 tails once you find the best fit for you. Thanks for watching!
No pueden ser 15 beads , eso no es mala es una pulsera , tiene que ser múltiplos de 9 quizás ella no sepa !
No sabía que se podía hacer de 15 cuentas mas la cuenta del gurú ...

I checked a lot of handbooks with woodworking plans. Instructions from woodprix are the best I think.
