Sliding knot: adjust the length of your leather cord
With a sliding knot, you can change the length of your leather cord whenever you like: short at the neck or long over a sweater. It works with all necklaces on our leather cord, such as the Gilli. It only takes a few minutes and no tools.
How it works in 4 steps
1. Overlap the ends
Lay both ends of the leather cord side by side so they overlap by about 10 cm. The ends point in opposite directions.
2. Wrap
Take end A, fold it back into a loop and wrap it 2–3 times around both cords. Wrap back towards the loop.
3. Pull tight
Pass end A through the wraps and pull it tight. Your first knot now sits on cord B and slides along it.
4. Second knot and adjust the length
Repeat steps 2 and 3 with end B in the other direction. Done. Slide the knots apart to make the necklace shorter, slide them together to make it longer.
Tips
- After pulling tight, leave about 1 cm of cord and trim the rest with sharp scissors.
- The more wraps, the firmer the knot. 3 wraps are ideal for our 1.5 mm leather cord.
- Finally, pull the knots firmly once more so they don’t come loose while you wear them.
- The leather cord is 90 cm long in total, so you have plenty of room for your perfect length.
