      Awww, and I mean it!! Beading shouldn't be stressful. If something doesn't work, it's okay to take it apart and start again. I still do it all the time. Thanks for watching! 💜

    Hi Gina. Thank you for your creativeness!!! You are an excellent teacher!! I made my first bracelet tonight. I used bugle beads instead of 8/0 seeds beads. Turned out beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration. Hope your feeling better.

    • @ORCHIDandOPAL

  • @j.whiteoak6408
    @j.whiteoak6408 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had great success with a much finer bracelet using Miyuki 11/0 Delicas for the base (instead of 8/0), and gorgeous 3mm Swarovski Cubes (instead of 4mm), and using Miyuki 15/0 (instead of 11/0) - I had to play with the bead-count a bit, including adding a round 11/0 in the centre on the sides, but it worked out beautifully! So then I made it in two more different but complimentary colour combinations that go with a particular outfit I'd bought, for a set of 3 'stackable bracelets' - and a fabulous result for which I receive many compliments! Thanks so much for sharing - I truly appreciate the wonderful inspirations from your videos. Happy beading!

    So pretty!! If you wanted to make it wider, would you make a few and sew them together or would it be better to make it wider from the beginning? I’m going through a “cuff size” bracelet phase, lol!!

    Interesting combination I have been looking at something similar to this lol but using 11/0’s and 15/0’s but maybe the 8/0’s will be a better jumping of point after all, my cubes are 6x6mm in size so with a few adjustments it should work well.

      Orchid and Opal Jewelry & Beads I have only seen one other which is similar but not quite the same by Lady Jane her version popped up when I found yours 😊 but other than that I have not seen anything using glass/crystal cubes before now😹 like you I have been looking at ways to use them in bead weaving as I prefer bead weaving to plain stringing which I find a little boring as there are only so many ways you can do simple/complex string where as bead weaving is fun and versatile too boot 😹😹😹
      I only found your TH-cam just the other night and have watched a few of them already love your work and showing that there are more mystery bead boxes out there 😹😹😹
      Thanks for sharing 🤗🤗🤗

    Lovely bracelet. If you really want a big spool of fireline you should get the 1500 yards. That lasts forever. You can get it from amazon, and some fishing stores.

    This is beautiful. Hey Gina, can I use bugle beads for the ladder stitch since it looks like you only use the top and bottom of the ladder rows? I have a bunch of bugle beads that I am trying to figure out something to do with them. If this won't work, any ideas using bugle beads? Thanks

    Watching you bead just astounds me. That you do it so easily. Remembering where to put the beads🙀 also that you have access to all those seed beads. I didn’t know there were 8.0’s. Bought the cubes now need to find the 8.0’s. Or can you use 6.0 ? Love the bracelet❤️

    • @ORCHIDandOPAL
      @ORCHIDandOPAL  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Jeaneane! Thanks so much! I've been beading for such a long time, a lot of it is second nature, I think. :) You could use 6/0's, but you may need to adjust the number of 11/0's you use on the top. Definitely give it a try, though. Always great to try to use what you have available first. Thanks for watching! 💜

    I love the bracelet. Have made a couple so far
    I'm wondering is it possible to use the same design with a 6 or 8mm cube bead for a necklace?? Instead of 8/0 maybe a 6/0 and then the bigger cube. Could you let me know or give a suggestion . They are beautiful bracelets!!! Thank you

    • @ORCHIDandOPAL
      @ORCHIDandOPAL  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey there! Yes, I am sure you could, although you would have to experiment since I haven't personally tried yet. I would just increase the sizes/qty of the seed beads to accommodate the larger cubes (like you mentioned). It is something I would like to try, so maybe something to come in the future. So glad you've been enjoying this pattern! Thank you for your comment!

    Have you ordered other cubes from Amazon other than the one that you showed the link for because I found a secondary one that gave you more Cubes at a better by and also have you tried doing this with something other than cubes with your design

    • @ORCHIDandOPAL
      @ORCHIDandOPAL  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey Bobbie! At the time I ordered mine, they were the best deal I could find per qty/AB Finish/free prime shipping, but Amazon's stock tends to change frequently. If you see another option that is comparable, please feel free to leave a link in reply to this, and I can take a look. Yes, ladder stitch is a great jumping off point for many designs, and I have done other bracelets that start that way, but the designs are different. You could use the same theory of this design, using other types of beads in place of cubes, but you'd probably need to tweak quantities of seed beads around them, etc. Thanks for watching! 💜

    • @ORCHIDandOPAL
      @ORCHIDandOPAL  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      You keep the tail very long in this project, so you can thread a needle on the other end and continue working. That way you aren't working with too long of a thread at one time, and you also won't have to tie extra thread onto the piece. It can be equal parts tail thread, and equal parts working thread.

      Hi Patty, you could use Nymo thread, if that's what you'd prefer. Here is the info I pulled up regarding the differences: Size B is .2032 mm and one of the most commonly used thicknesses. It is suitable for a wide range of stitches and bead sizes includes beads in size 8, 10, 11 and 15.Size D is .3048 mm in diameter and suitable for similar purposes as size B.

      Hi Karina! I'm glad you enjoy the pattern of the bracelet. I'm always open to suggestions, and constructive criticism; however, I can say that's not something I've heard from anyone else before. Not to say that you're wrong - it's just your opinion. Kind of like a map, though, I like to briefly show where you are in the grand scheme of things periodically during the process. It seems important to understand where you are in relation to the final destination before blindly undertaking the journey. I do these tutorials for you all, so if the majority of viewers don't like me referring to the completed piece periodically, I can certainly adjust. Anyone else feel the same way as Karina?
