Any tips for making neat and precise knots in jewellery making? Beadalon knotter tool reviews?


I have just recently taken up beading. I am really enjoying making necklaces and bracelets but i find it tricky to make a neat knot close to the beads to stop them from moving about too much. I always seem to have a little gap between the knot and the beads. I have seen a Beadalon knotter tool and just wondered if anyone has ever used this? Are they worth the money as they are quite expensive? Any other tips/ tools i could try? Thanks!

I bought the tool you mention and found it too finicky and gave up. I bought a tweezers with needlepoint tips and use it much the same way as the needle method described by Willeke. I’m still not great at it but I guess practice makes perfect….actually I do more wire wrapping and rosary-style linking instead as I’m better at that….
