Holly cow!
Great video! I’ve been wondering for years how to use these and finally slow down to research and your video popped up first. Thank you so much! I had no idea it would be so easy.
Ok I will have to try this method. Thank you
Great method,I don't glue mine anymore,but I use this tying method
That is an excellent knot !
This is a great video. Very informative and right to the point. Loved it.
Can you also show how to secure for small holes like 4 mm and 6mm beads thanks
I use stretchy string: tie once (first step of tying your shoe) then a surgeons knot (cross,loop under twice then pull) then a normal knot and finally another surgeons knot then pull extra tight and cut. I've NEVER had a bracelet break on me haha-
I just Googled: What markup percentage should a small business give themselves. It did say that 50% is a safe bet.
It may be a lot to take in, but you want to get the right info. No matter how long it takes.
Holy Cow! This is GREAT!
It does not make sense. How can two thread ends be next to each other when one went several beads away a split second ago?
That cord frayed on me twice any suggestions
Everytime I try to put the rest of the stretchy cord back through the beads it comes out when the bracelet stretches. I keep clipping pieces off and it just keeps coming out of the next bead.
Great video, Is there an alternative to elastic,
Hi Kat where did you source your saguaro cactus pendant? Look cool!
Wish i could see the process in slower movements cause i string back through and well i dont get ur result
Thank you!
Loved this! You’re a great Teacher!
Oh my gosh I’m so excited I found you lol I’ve become addicted to buying beads! Ok from Dollar Tree lol But I love them! But I don’t have a clue how to make Bracelets. So I just string the stretch cord (it’s clear like yours) I don’t use a needle but I know I should. I just didn’t know how. I’ve made some that are just small beads the same color. Except the tails of that cord stick out. Seeing what you did and using the glue is perfect! I think I’ll redo them! I immediately hit “like” and subscribe 😊 I look forward to learning more from you!!! My Granddaughter wears chokers and necklaces loser than chokers but shorter than traditional necklaces. (If that made sense lol) She loves making them too. After her Fall Softball Season is over She promised she’d come over and we could make some bracelets together ❤❤❤ She’s 14 and the light of my life, heart and whole world!
Issue for me is then, the knot is too big to hide into the bead.
Can you show one for small beads? And what size cord to use
What's the name of the beading wire ure using??
OMG! Why didn’t I think about the glue? I’ve tried all the not combinations, every time it untied. Thank you 🙏
How to put it on a cord necklace
Very helpful tip
Holy cow 😊
Thank you! I have started to use split rings. They’re easier to attach than I expected. Much more secure. 😃
What is the name of that wire?
Hello 🩷🩷 what are each of these used for?
Hello 🩷🩷 what are each of them used for?
My pendant does not lay flat on me. What ring is best for a heavy pendant that has its own loop on it already for chain
I was wondering if to use split rings on my bracelets and after seeing this I'm going to , thank you
Where can I get the needle from
Hi Terri Datcher
Beautiful ❤️
❤❤❤😮
If the elastic becomes weakened over time, it will break no matter what, that's an issue
Love this one
Excellent easy,clear and visible great job
Ok 😭🙏
Thank you! This is very helpful!
I get confused at the loop around
How do you hide the knots if they don't fit in the bead hole
Does anyone know if Kat still makes videos or does she have a new channel, and does she respond to comments? I am searching for a video that featured her using a tool, I think it might be called a third hand or helping hand. I have searched and searched and can't find it. If anyone has the link, can you PLEASE share it. Thanks.
Very nice and informative ❤
I've searched over and over trying to find your video showing you using the third hand or helping hand tool. If anyone knows where that video is, please share the link. Thanks.
Hello Kat, can you share the link for the tool in one of your videos I am searching for. I think it was called a third hand tool or something like that for jewelry making. Thanks.
I want to make a consistently-sized series of loops of a certain diameter, e.g., 2 mm, 3 mm. How does one do this with this tool, except by trial and error with a permanent marker to draw a line at a particular place on the sides of the round-nose pliers and the sides of the concave portion of the tool that you must re-draw occasionally as the ink gets abraded by constant use? Also, if you must use painter's tape to compensate for a tool's design flaw, perhaps a different tool/tools would be a better choice.
Thanks 😊👍
