This was SO helpful. Quite frankly, this is the only video I've watched on beading bracelets and yknow what ? I've made a few now and theyre great! Thanks :)
Hello, wonderful explanation of tying - thank you. I was wondering if you share where you source your authentic beads? I’ve been searching for a supplier everywhere but I’m having a hard time finding one that’s well reviewed…
Wow. What a lot of work! I am making bracelets and necklaces for my Grandaughter's Barbies. I made the mistake of using seed beads. It took me hours to make several. Is there any trick when using seed beads?
Same issue I ran into today 😪🤣 lol they use 0.2 mm cord for making rings and a lot of other seed bead projects. I just ordered some cord that'll be here tomorrow. For now I'm gonna use the cord I have to make these beautiful bracelets 💗
Which beads do you glue? Is there a way to hide the glue once it’s dried? Got a little confused with the glue part. Does it make the bead stay stuck to the elastic?
side note this tutorial was sooo helpful! i’ve just been making necklaces and want to branch out into brackets and you definitely helped explain it super well!:)
Most legitimate wholesalers will require a business license and tax ID. There’s TONS of gem shows multiple times a year in every state. You just have to put in the time to make connections and do your do diligence
do you thread it again with another piece of thread? or is the original thread long enough to go around twice or three times. This is my first time making a bracelet 😊
You thread it with the same string! Two times is enough but three if you want it extra secure. It won’t be as stretchy 3 times through and depending on the bead/thread size you’re working with you may only be able to do it twice 😊 hope this helps
I definitely wouldn’t. You can use a jewelry or all purpose contact glue like E-600 those are designed to be water proof and also can be flexible after it’s dried which is important for bracelets. I would imagine nail polish would chip off very shortly after it’s dried
I’ve never not used the glue so I can’t say how strong it is without it. If you want to test it out try making one for yourself and wear it in everyday life, take it off and on frequently, wear it in water to see if it is still secure
When I hear crystals I think faceted glass or a semi precious gemstone that's got several sides and comes to a point. These to me are just semi precious gemstone beads. I'm not trying to be rude or sound unappreciative, I just found the title a bit confusing. Thank you for the clear instructions and close view of your methods.
Crystals are any mineral formed into a crystalline structure, they can be carved into beads and any shape! Gemstones are typically cabochons, facets or some sort of polished high grade mineral. Gems are usually crystals but not all crystals are gems. Crystal, minerals and glass can be cut into a faceted beads or round beads. Hope that clears things up :)
I’m sorry you feel this to be too much for you! It’s the best method to ensure a secure bracelet but you can always just loop it once and follow the rest of the steps :)
I have never made anything and have finally found someone who has made me feel like I can do this I am so excited to get started thank you so much
Thank you for sharing!! I hope this is a start of an exciting new journey for you ✨🖤
Thanks! I’m trying to step up the quality of my work and your videos are very helpful!

I’ve never used seed beads but I have seen people use a bead wheel for those which makes it much faster to create

No glueing the beads your just glueing the knot!

So working with the tread is like sewing pants ?
Do you have a recommendation for bead threaders that I don’t have to throw out after making a couple bracelets?
From where you got this beads?
i’ve been STRUGGLING to find genuine crystal bead wholesalers who do you use/do you have any tips on finding good wholesalers?
side note this tutorial was sooo helpful! i’ve just been making necklaces and want to branch out into brackets and you definitely helped explain it super well!:)
Since I make a living off my jewlery and crystal business I can’t disclose that! I do sell crystal bead strands on my website for jewelers to purchase

Where did u get your crystals from? Love it!
My wholesalers. I do have bead strands and cabochons for sale on my website for other jewelry creators 😊
How many strands should you use?
do you thread it again with another piece of thread? or is the original thread long enough to go around twice or three times. This is my first time making a bracelet 😊

Thank you 🙏
hello, what is the name of that bead, it is very beautiful
Labradorite! 🌈 it’s my favorite mineral
What size are the beads ?
can i use nail polish instead of jewelry glue?
I definitely wouldn’t. You can use a jewelry or all purpose contact glue like E-600 those are designed to be water proof and also can be flexible after it’s dried which is important for bracelets. I would imagine nail polish would chip off very shortly after it’s dried
Do you sell bracelets?
What's the name of the crystals on the thumbnail on the left side ?
African bloodstone ♥️
@@GreenWitchMystics thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Were did you get all the items please
You can find the tools at Walmart, Amazon or any craft store. Crystal beads can be found on my website :)
is the glue really important with that kind of thread? Or is it okay to not use glue? thank you so much❤️
I’ve never not used the glue so I can’t say how strong it is without it. If you want to test it out try making one for yourself and wear it in everyday life, take it off and on frequently, wear it in water to see if it is still secure

English please I did not understand. One word is that I did not help me at all. Please help.
This is all in English so I’m not sure what you’re having issues with :/
Seems too much for a beginner
