Hey everyone! For this technique to work, you have to use chain that has plain oval or round links without any curvature. I don’t think Curb or Fígaro would work but you can certainly give it a shot. Let me know here if you’ve tried other types of chain and how it worked out. 🙂
I managed to make it work with a round link and tiger tail but wanted to try it with leather and it wouldn't work? the 1st four links work but then it just gets stuck, any ideas?
@@lulu43751 OMG...I cant believe I missed this comment! I’m so sorry! Did you figure it out? Try using thinner leather or perhaps chain that has soldered links. A lot of chain has links that are open or cut, and the leather may be catching on the edges of the links. 🙂🌺🌼🌸
@@MistyMoonDesigns thanks so much for getting back to me🙏🏻 you're right thinner leather works although still looks better with the tiger tail. Stay safe❤
Watched this video again I love rewatching many of your videos, because your teaching of methods used is so great. I am learning and always inspired. Thanks so much. love to see you modeling your designs. it helps us determine the length and see the beauty of the item on a beautiful lady. Bless you so much for sharing!
I love your work I want to make one myself and sometimes I need to figure it out myself but you’re showing me thank you so much I might have to watch it again sometime thank you so much
Love the different elements you used. And I do appreciate that you put it on so we can see how it wears. That is one of the frustrating things I find, when looking at patterns, is that nobody seems to show the finished product on unless it’s a ring or bracelet. So I do appreciate that you model the finished piece!
I think you covered all 3 of the seasons. It's a gorgeous necklace. I always learn something new about jewelry design. Thank you Luisa for sharing your knowledge.
Awesome design! You are wonderful teacher! My bead room is a total disaster rt now! A couple of years ago I decided to go through every bead box & sort everything & reorganize. I have lots of gemstone beads!! Took me two weeks😂 My BBB came today... it’s another winner!
Oh I’m so glad you like the August BBB! I got mine today as well but haven’t opened it yet. Once I open it, there’s no holding me back! So I’ve been purposely waiting 😂 Lol!
I love this necklace! My favorite colors... You do such beautiful work. I love the detail you put into everything you do. You’re a magnificent designer!♥️♥️
Love the simplicity of this piece with the strong focal beads and a light tapered drop, I don't have a lot of chain at the moment but it gives me lots of ideas how to use it besides just hanging chain, Thanks so much for your time, you have definitely inspired me to go and check out my stash and have a play around. 🙏💜💐
I just loved what you did with the chain. Never seen anything like that before. Pure stroke of genius Luisa. You really are a very clever designer. The beginning of the video cracked me up. I am sure anyone that is creative has had a desk like that from time to time. I think I spend more time pulling out ‘possibilities’ and eventually finding homes for 90% of them again, than I actually do on the beading. I blame it on being a Libran, difficult to make decisions sometimes. Your end results are definitely worth a period of chaos. Love Jen x 🦘🦘🦘🦘🌹🌹🌹
That’s what I tell myself as I watch the mess grow into a scary mountain of jewelry supplies. Sometimes I worry my family will come looking for me and find me buried under the pile 😂 but, alas....such is the life of a jewelry designer with a bead hoarding problem. 😊❤️🌺🌸 I’m an Aquarian...creative, quirky and a little stubborn at times. Once I focus on something, I forget the world. Not sure if that’s an Aquarian trait 😂
Don’t forget Luisa, a clean work table is the sign of a dull designer! Thanks again for a great new tutorial and threading technique! Evie Smith Designs.
You are such a patient and precise instructor...great technique with the chain and tiger tail. I think your necklace is so lovely. Stay safe and well, Amanda xox
That came out so gorgeous 😍 I love the idea you had with the chain. I learn something new each time I watch one of your tutorials. Thank you so much 😁 🥰
Wow! Fantastic technique. I was visualizing chain & drop earrings to go with this. I have a whole spool of rolo chain to play with. I find myself “dressing up” to go to the grocery since it is the only public place open. The color combo is stunning. Thank you for sharing.
That’s an awesome idea. I bet earrings would look great! I’ll have to try it and also just chain. A chain bracelet would look nice as well...would look just like a chainmaille bracelet! 😊❤️🌺🙂
I love your designs!! you are so creative. Im so glad I found your channel. You are a real artist :), keep up the great job, the videos are professional, offer detailed instructions and you go slow enough and get close enough for me to follow....PERFECT! : I have learned so much from you; your style and techniques have been invaluable for jewelry making.
Beautiful necklace design! My desk in my craft room is messy and so is the floor because I haven’t put away all of my packages of beads yet! I was glad to see that yours gets messy too so I know I’m not alone! I think, depending on what color beads you use, the design could fit any season. Thank you for sharing!
Luisa, Gorgeous Necklace💙💙💙💙💙!!! Love the colors you chose for this project, just beautiful.Thank you again for sharing your creative designs with us. Lovely Necklace.
I love what you did with the chain. What a clever idea! And the result is stunning. Just one thing I don't know. When did you sneak into my studio and take a picture of my messy desk? lol It's nice to know I'm not the only one who has tornadoes running through my house! As always, thank you for sharing your talent and creativity.
Thank you Lea. I snuck into your studio the other day when you weren’t watching 😂 I’m glad you acknowledged I didn’t make that mess...lol. Lots of tornadoes around! 😊❤️🌺🌸
Very imaginative designs, due to my ridiculous stash ( see it, like it, buy it oops!) I should be able to make this straight away, thanks you so much for this!
Misty Moon Designs Initially thought I might be able to reuse a gold ankle curb chain that’s been lurking around unloved for years but not enough links. My other chain is far too fine so I shall be forced to buy some but then I’ll be using beads up. Looking forward to doing this. Thanks for responding 💐🙏🏻🌹🏴🇬🇧
Luisa you made me laugh loved the beginning and I always enjoy your rambling. I love how you used the chain I will be using this chain design. Thank you for sharing how to making this beautiful necklace.
Oh Luisa...I always enjoy your channel...but today I felt such a comraderie with you as I know you now feel my pain of "the mess". I have not figured out how to make jewelry and it not create a "mess". Even when I pull what I need...the creative spark takes over and I start pulling findings out and different beads and 4 hrs later....my workspace looks even messier than yours...oh trust me! . Have a great day. I love your content and your voice is fantastic which is definitely an asset in tutorials.
Oh thank you Melanie! Yes it definitely feels like a comraderie with so many of us having the same issue. 😊 Thank you for the compliment about my voice. 😊❤️🌺🌸
Beautiful and so creative! Never saw the chain used in that exact way and I love it! Have just started watching your videos recently and am getting so inspired! Thank you.
I learned a lot in this video and another video of yours. Great teaching with explaining of techniques used. Have an idea. Oh it must have taken awhile to clean of your beading area. Will continue watching your tutorials. Thanks.
I think it's a, I like it and I want to wear it because I like it kind of necklace😻. I've seen that same look in my work space before and will again.....lol.
Thanks for sharing the lovely chain technique . I simply love the necklace with the colour combination. What size of oval chain needs to be used with the sizes of beads in the project. Thanks
I love what you did with the chain. I have a request. My older fingers have difficulty with lobster clasps so I tend to favor toggle clasps. ( Also have very short hair do they show niicely). Would you do a video that talks about toggle clasps, balancing size and style to compliment the piece you are making? I would love to hear your opinions on this subject. And thank you for another great inspiring lesson! Cheryl
Thank you Louise. I’m sure the chain technique has been done before because whenever I think of an idea, I find out someone’s already thought of it. I have all kinds of things rattling around in my brain...mostly beads 😂😊❤️🌺🌸
Oh, yes! Mine looks like that and worst most of the time except when my daughter comes to visit. She can’t stand it so she organizes it and then I can’t find a darn thing. So I am spending Thanksgiving day re-organizing, and putting things in a new location… my craft room closet instead of my living room.
I had something I wanted to say but I can't remember. 🤨 I think, other than the coffee colored beads, it looks like a winter piece because the blue and silver and clear crystal give it a wintry, icy look. The colors are beautiful. I love how you did the chain. It really does look like chain maille, only a lot easier, lol. Thanks for reminding me to watch this on IG, lol. Always love your work. ☺️🌹💕 P.S. I just watched your photography video before this one. Forgot to ask, how much is the... Photoshop Fix was it called?
Thank you so much for the nice comments. Yes!...I also thought winter when I first put it together! 😊 If you decide to make it make sure you use a chain with plain round or oval links. Anything else may not work. Photoshop Fix is free I think but you do need an Adobe account which is also free. It’s been so long since I’ve had it I honestly don’t remember but I’ll check and let you know 😊❤️🌺🌸
Did U say KO beads is the place you might have bought those Chinese crystals? Can you help me with the spelling? Id love to shop there. thanks!!!❤ beautiful necklace!😍
Hi Deborah. Gosh! I hope this is the correct crystal. I made the video a year ago but I think I used 6 mm clear colored faceted rounds for the strand. You can find them at COBeads. Here’s a link: www.cobeads.com/p-1799943-imitation-austrian-crystal-beads-grade-aaa-faceted.html

That chainmaille effect is AMAZING! I've learned so much from you, and I can hardly wait to try. Thank you so much for sharing.
You are such a patient and precise instructor...great technique with the chain and tiger tail. I think your necklace is so lovely. Stay safe and well, Amanda xox

So unique and beautiful! I could think of several beads that would look fantastic in this design. Thank you, Luisa❤️
Awesome Nancy! The possibilities are endless! Can you envision the chain in a copper color for fall? 😊❤️🌺🌸
This necklace is beautiful and so creative. Ty for shari bc it with us.
You crack me up because my work room looks exactly like yours right now. 🤣🤣 But messy desks equals creative minds so I’ve been told. 💕
Yep! Exactly! Creative minds sometimes lose track of things because they’re busy creating 😊❤️🌺🌸
Just gorgeous! I might have to try it in pinks! 💗
It would look lovely in pink! 😊❤️🌺🌸
Very neat and wonderful idea! ❤️
Thank you so much Dianne 😊❤️🌺🌸
This is so cute, you use beautiful beads but you can think about easter,july the 4th, and christmas all holidays thank you.
Thank you for the chain idea. I love the necklace. I will try to make one.
Thank you Angela! 🙂🌺🌸🌼

Thank you so much Mary for the very nice comments! 😊❤️🌺🌸
I like that wire cut garden I need some myself
Luxurious, with a medieval feel; excellent! Thanks!
Yes, I love jewelry from that era! 😊 I find it intriguing, mysterious, feminine, and beautiful. I incorporate that style in many of my designs! 🙂🌸🌺❤️
Great design! Thanks for the very clear explanation of how to string the chain onto the beading wire.
Thank you so much Lynn! I’m glad you liked it! 😊❤️🌺🌸
If I’ve talked to so many things from you I should give you money for that is so beautiful I have learned so much for the next
That chain was clever!

Je maakt mooi juwelen doe ik ook graag
dat is erg leuk! dank u! 😊❤️🌺🌸

Where did you find the chain? I have searched for the exact size chain and I am having a difficult time finding it. Thank you!
Oh, yes! Mine looks like that and worst most of the time except when my daughter comes to visit. She can’t stand it so she organizes it and then I can’t find a darn thing. So I am spending Thanksgiving day re-organizing, and putting things in a new location… my craft room closet instead of my living room.
It’s definitely a challenge to keep jewelry making supplies organized. There’s never enough storage! 🙂
My table looks exactly the same way. My table is much smaller! lol.

Oooh scary I do it all the time
I guess I should have said I love the mess
It’s funny because I didn’t realize how bad it was until I walked into my studio the next morning 😊❤️🌸🌺
Misty Moon Designs I just revamped my work space yesterday, it was a disaster.
I know what you mean. I try to clear my work space when I can but if I’m in the middle of a project, it’s almost impossible. 🤪
