This tutorial shows how to loosely knot a seed bead bracelet with a button clasp, using tigertail and seed beads (this uses Soft Flex .019 Beading Wire). This is basically doing macrame alternating half-hitches with the tigertail (which is filled up with seed-beads) and because the tigertail is stiff-but-springy, you can make the knots very loose (hardly "knots" at all) and you get a lovely Celtic-looking set of loops around each other. You could probably do something similar with round leather cord (though without the beads, or with very large-hole beads).

Interesting bead-stringing technique using TWO strands of "stringing wire" (AKA tigertail). This requires pretty-coloured tigertail because the tigertail is going to be visible rather than covered entirely with beads. This is done by alternating between stringing the beads on single wires (one or both) and stringing the beads on two wires together, with enough space between the beads that the tigertail is exposed. Because the beads alternate in this way, the beads strung on both wires together hold the other beads in position, as the stiff-but-flexible tigertail opens with the separate wires, and closes when the wires are strung together.
