I understand what you mean, for the most of us English isn't our native language, so no problem :-)

Glue is also what I was thinking, in case tightening doesn't help enough. Do you use cotton yarn? If you use acrylic yarn glueing isn't an option, it doesn't hold.

Or is it only the tie-on knot that's getting loose? The one you make to tie the bracelet on your wrist?

I use all kind of materials, but most yarn (cotton) and waxed cords and now i found some, i am not sure what kind of stuff it is, but it says chinese macarme cord, but i can burn it, so i think its sort of nylon too.

Linhasita can't be glued as far as I know, because of the wax. Burning usually works fine for me though.

I also always cut short, and use a little "Uhu", that helps to prevent the loose end (yarn) from opening up |

maybe I'm a little late to answer this, but here's my tip: thinner braids will lead to tighter knots, so try to get rid of a few strands before making the final braids (by cutting and singeing/gluing the ends into a shaped ending or making some square knots and cutting before the braids). You could also make more than one braid with the final strands if you don't want to cut them. Also, as suggested above, add some kind of glue to the tie-on knot and the ends if you're going to cut the braids afterwards.
