***Tip Jar***

The pipa knot or teardrop knot is an attractive and unique ornamental Chinese knot which has the appearance of an expanding braid with loops at the bottom. It comes from the art of Chinese knotting, which has many knotting designs similar to Celtic knotting. It is based on the shape of a figure eight and named after a Chinese instrument. Often tied in wire in craft work to make jewellery - either earrings or a necklace pendant. It can also be used to make a key chain or key fob. It can be tied with a jig or in the hand as with this technique.

I wanted to make knot buttons and after being frustrated by a few other videos, this one (plus the globe knot video) did the trick. The only thing that would've made it better is having see-through fingers, lol! I'm really happy with my buttons, thanks for the vids :D

YES! I HAVE JUST SUCCESSFULLY MADE MY FIRST PIPA KNOT! It took me, like, a week, but I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!

I have seen pictures and videos on doing this and i am even able to do it myself. But what I have seen are only tutorials showing the easy part. What about the finishing part where u have to seal the ends to prevent it from coming off? From my experience, it would easily come off if not hold on to properly even if the ‘tail’ was slid into the centre as shown in the last part.
