This is a very simple knot but it's truly decorative ^^
In the main photo there is the butterfly knot with a bell, in the second photo there is the flower knot.

Find a cord. The lenght depend on the type of the cord and on how big you want the knot ^^
-
Take the center of the cord and pass it under the rest of the cord.
-
A vision of the ensemble.
-
Take one end and double it...
-
...pass it under...
-
...pass it on...
-
...then pass it under again.
We have knotted one wing on the left and one little wing on the right. -
Just do the same with the other end: double it, pass it under...
-
...pass it on...
-
...then pass it under again.
The knot is done, we have to tie it tight. -
We start from the beginning: pull down the two little wings to tighten the center of the knot.
-
The center is now tight, then we can pull the two wings on the left and on the right...
-
...and then...
-
... pull the end of the cord.
Following these steps, adjust the knot as you want. -
This is the butterfly shape, with the little wing smaller than the wings on the left and right.
-
This is the flower shape, with the wings of the same measure.
You can join the ends (with a knot or cutting and joining the ends with the glue) to make the fifth petal. -
The last step is to spread a drop of glue on the retro of the knot.

Don't worry ^^ It's easy like it appears.
For the first time just have patience and make attention on the under-and-up...then you'll remember it without the tutorial ^^
