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.
