Creative Beading

How do you finish a knot on beaded jewelry using waxed cotton cord?

I don’t want to use any type of metals for my jewelry. I’m starting to experiment with waxed cotton cord, I just can’t figure out what’s the best knot to finish each piece?! Any tutorials out there that are helpful? I prefer visuals than just written instruction.

My mom uses fingernail polish (clear) after tying a regular square knot. I’m not sure if she uses waxed cotton cord, however, but it might work for that as well.
