How to Tie the Celtic Tree of Life Knot by TIAT

[MrPdante]

the celts will never cease to amaze me

[3fgburner]

I suspect that if I grab some white nylon, it'll be easier to see what I'm doing than with this black-with-blue-patches 3/8 that I'm using now. Great vid!

[tape124]

Keep doing what your doing your great!!!

[kirque187]

never thought i'd say this...can't wait to go to the hardware store and get some string...

[Hell0MyNameIsAustin]

lol i like the name of your channel clever..

[AuntieCarlaJo]

It's so beautiful it's almost spiritual, thank you for sharing. I'm making things for my husband this year so I thought I could make him a whole bunch of different celtic knots since he really loves them.

[blackstarr5]

Awesome! I almost had it...but...I was trying to tie it with a long string out of sweatpants. Lol. Not quite firm enough to hold its shape. :P

[jewbow90]

holy crap thats a bitch to do with 550 cord but badass looking !

[lasdevilladiego]

i made it! it's so beautiful... it is mesmerizing and meaningful. thank you very much from méxico.

[Peodso]

Will it work with para-cord?

[Animehem]

@Peodso of course :)

[TheDevilsChicks]

Made it! :D

[TyingItAllTogether]

@TheDevilsChicks - Awesome!

Okay, 20 minutes ago I posted I'd try it, and I have succeeded. I see the problem people run into! It's just like those games you play as a kid, where you follow the kite strings to see who owns which kite, in coloring books. When at the end, make sure you keep it flat, then go to where you need it tightened most, where it loops out biggest, and trace the rope a little way, then tug on it til that part's tight, and work that same line all the way to the bitter end. Repeat throughout. :)

[JasonasaurausRex]

Knot only (yes a knot pun ha ha) does this knot have great meaning, but, it may be just me, it looks beautiful as it comes together. Hard to explain, so I won't try. . . I'm just gonna try to make it, and not stopping til I succeed.

[CraterMuffin]

Wonderful...

Fascinating knot for a fascinating meaning..

[ameteuraspirant]

this is just incredible, i couldn't imagine tying these, let alone coming up with the designs

[MagicalSunrise1984]

Very cool - and interesting factoid :)

[WudupyoitsMJ]

Bahaha! "Interesting factoid"



[TyingItAllTogether]

@johnnyRasTafari - What music are you listening too? There is'nt a single bass line in the entire song.

[ironheart34]

3 people are knot heads... How can you not like celtic knots?

[Nickey1225]

ew, a wart

[BlatzAdict]

any tips for expanding on it and making it bigger? i see you made four main sections. would making 8 sections make it harder to keep track of?

i want to make it big enough to cover most of the back of my hand.

[teceyS3]

beautiful- and gorgeous music, too- excellent!

[bojeppe]

[sahja324]

Very good video. Now I'm off to try and do with in wire. I'd love to use this knot as the actual "tree knot" in my wire wrapped Trees of Life. I'm excited to try.

[Trompunitalphapropan]

Give credit to that amazing track!!

[autumnturtle]

that is so beautiful!

[TheHowletts]

I love your videos, have watched a few today.

Thank you so much for sharing your talent, and for providing inspiration.

Cheers

[cryoshell666]

where could you get braided nylon?

[Ouladnail]

Hey this was a fabulous discovery because I am doing a art project that involves different Trees Of Life in a variety of cultures. This is super. I got it down and it makes me excited about doing more!!! You instructional video is exceptional! Catherine

[NicoletoZ]

i'm having trouble adjusting the knots at the end. any tips on that???

[TyingItAllTogether]

@NicoletoZ

...

Without being seated next to you, all I can do is encourage you to take your time, remember its a flat knot, and patiently draw up each cord until the look of the knot takes shape. Outside of that, use a 1/4 inch solid braid nylonrope (gotten at most hardware stores) to tie the piece. Flimsy cotton cord or string just won't due for this.

Dude

you are a genius!

[grimtriggerman]

This is awesome. I'm glad that you got the history of the Celts and symbol of the Tree right too. I want to learn this to match a tattoo I got.

[Gunnar120]

GRAAH! Perhaps I have no talent, but the tree times I tried, I just ended up with a horrid circular tangle. Gunnar Not Impressed! Thumbs up for your skillz tho

[Shindai]

How long should the string be? The rope I have is about a meter and a half long and all I get is a floppy tangled mess :/

[TyingItAllTogether]

@Shindai - My rope (1/4 inch solid braid nylon) was about 6 feet long

[ironheart34]

@Shindai

lol thanks for asking the question i was about to... i am gonna try this when i get the rope.... i love celtic knots.

[Shindai]

What's the music and what do you do with the loose ends?

[autumnstar315]

[hfkwoolf]

Thank you so much! I'm teaching an Irish/Celtic class for St. Patty's Day and will add this. So beautiful and actually easy to follow. You have a great talent!

[digitalfingerz]

I'm glad I found your instruction vids. Very clear and easy to follow along. I also enjoy learning the back ground and explination of the knots that you provide. THANKS

[cyniraholt]

I haven't been on youtube in a minute, so I have to catch up, Excellent Video.. Thanks for sharing. brightest blessings~

[Hoffa3381]

Like the Celtic history. Most people don't know that little detail, so I see you've been doing your research. lol

Again, always enjoy watching your videos. Very relaxing Tks!

PS: If I can make a suggestion, could you put down the author to the music. I enjoy the music but don't know who / were to get it... Again, Tks....

[BossMason]

That's a beautiful knot.

[TyingItAllTogether]

@BossMason
