I really like this one for the simplicity and ease of making it. What a relief I can use up random beads and no metal findings to fuss about!

[@MaryDeanDotCom]

Love this! I was asked to teach a bead class for a yoga retreat on a beach in Mexico, and I needed something really simple. This is just perfect. Thanks!

Glad you like it, Joyce.

[@Cathijudd21]

Thanks for the inspiration! I just made five cute summer necklaces using this technique! :)

[@oliviaw1233]

I'd try candle wax on the end of the string or burning it a bit to make it easy to string

[@cherrykoay8609]

Thanks for sharing. It is very useful.

[@lisachristoph437]

Nice idea.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thank you so much! If is a great lightweight summer piece. Also, here is a link to the cord if you are looking for a great versatile one that can fit inside the hole of most beads! www.potomacbeads.com/beadtec-waxed-linen-cord#attr=

wow, outstanding video

[@elizabetbaltadjieva7813]

Very helmful thank you. I just don't know how long is your thread. Can you tell me in cm or inches, please.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Hi Elizabet, the thread was 5 feet (60 inches) but you can make it any length you like. The knots will shorten it a little bit each time.

[@ibkristykat]

so cool. love it.

I am brand new at this and I have 1mm cord and regular beads mostly 6mm. I am unable to get the beads on the cord? What am I doing now.

[@Potomacbeadco]

You could try a leather wrap bracelet but using the cord you have, if it's stiff enough. If it's very soft, it might not hold up as well as leather cord.

[@rosalieirene2763]

Could you give me more information on the waxed linen cording size you are using and are the bead sizes between 4 and 6 or 8mm? Thanks!

[@Potomacbeadco]

The waxed linen cording is .5mm. You can really use any size of beads with it.

[@footnut1234]

I love the brown corded necklace! What type of beads are those?

[@Potomacbeadco]

They are mother of pearl chips:

[@Cindjo717]

Love it. Thank u

[@carmenroupp653]

love

[@jordandormido2539]

I've made one of these, but I found the holes in the beads too small to fit the wax cording. I don't know how she's doing it in the video cause I used the same size beads and string.

[@fatima34me]

Thanks!

[@kiranmuralidhar48]

I m gona make it soon.....

[@brejack2025]

How wide is the wax linen cord please

[@Potomacbeadco]

About 2 meters is fine, but this depends on how long you want to have your necklace, Bre.

[@brejack2025]

PotomacBeads: thank you

[@MaryDeanDotCom]

@@iluvthekjv1611 it comes in various thicknesses, so whatever fits your bead holes. In fact you can run any piece of string/cord through beeswax and make your own.

[@brejack2025]

@@MaryDeanDotCom thank you so much Mary. That is very helpful. Ive got a bee hive so will try making my own too

[@janet58]
