Beaded bracelets, can anyone advise?

Hello,
I have a quick question and wondering if anyone can advise who already makes beaded jewellery.

I’m currently making beaded bracelets for myself, a few people have commented they like and would like me to make bracelets for them. I don’t mind doing this. However, how do you knot it to finish off? For myself I do a tiny knot which usually isn’t noticeable. I’ve looked up on YouTube and seen different ways but I’m seeking which is the simplest way,

thank you for reading.

I do a simple knot and another on top (I use stretch magic). I finish off with a dab of clear nail varnish/glue, to seal the knots. There may be better ways, but it’s important to secure the knots nonetheless
good luck ❤️

I do a double, double knot. So wrap the elastic twice, then do another.
Then a dab of Hypo Cement, leave for 24 hours then trim the elastic.

Thanks @WorriedMillie and @HouseOfGoldandBones that’s really helpful advice 😊 I was worried about the knot showing and wondered if to cover it up somehow.

Tie, dab of super glue, tie again.
