It took me about 20 hours to figure out how to make this. I wish I would of seen your video sooner. Thank you for taking the time and effort to do this. I work at a jewelry store and made it with precious stones. You had some really helpful techniques.
Very clearly explained! I loved how you took your time, how you made sure via repeated steps that we understand, and how you cut out the unnecessary things to keep the video shorter. WELL DONE! My favorite tutorial, ever.
You are just so sweet and the way you explain how to make this is so simple to understand. I'm making one into a choker with pink crystals for my ex sister-in-law who has breast cancer. Thank you for making that possible for me to make one!
I have been watching videos on how to make this wrap bracelet and yours is the BEST by far! Good job, you made it very easy to understand! Thank you.
Great job , thank you! Just made 2 from beads that I had! Didn't have a clip board so I used a small plastic cutting board & wire heavy chip clips! No stringing thread, used heavy duty sewing thread ,doubled up (I couldn't break it)! I had such fun & can't wait to go buy the proper supplies! Don't be afraid to improvize guys! Have fun!
Great tutorial for a beginner! I understood it perfectly! I like how you used a clip board instead of those expensive bead boards! Please- forget all the negative! This was really great!
Excellent video. I am not a crafts person at all but I have several expensive wrap bracelets that were gifted on me. I love them and would love to try and make my own. Thank you for taking the time to explain this process in detail. I will use your video step by step after I gather my supplies. Good job explaining it to folks who have no idea about crafts, like me. I call that excellent teaching!
Hi! I learned how to make this bracelet from this very video about two years ago and I've decided to revisit this project. After much searching, I finally found your video again and I'm sooo grateful. Your technique is the closest I've found to the real thing, you explain the steps so clearly and your camera is in the perfect position to capture all the detail. Thank you many times over.
Nice tecnique, the process that you are showing inspired me to do my own bracelet, Thank you so much!!!!
I've watched a ton of videos and I have to say this was by far the easiest to understand. Thank you and I can't wait to see more that you post! GOOD JOB!
@TheRealBethFekete IDK what you were hearing because she doesn't have a condescending tone. If you can't understand this video then you have some problems. It is so easy and straightforward.
The bead-weaving thread & bead needles are also less likely to snag or tangle; regular sewing thread can be a pain with smaller heishi beads, and regular sewing needles only work with large-hole beads.
I watched several tutorials. And your is by far the best!!!! Thank you so much for your clear explanation! I am having a blast making these.
This is the BEST ONLINE TUTORIAL.!!!..for this style of bracelet.. truly I had searced and watched more than a few and this is the one with step by step clarity. Thanks so much for uploading this :)
Thank you for the step by step tutorial. It finally makes sense. I used to do these in the 80's.
Thank you for this video it was very helpful, it takes alot of courage to record something showing others how to do a craft you learned. Not always an easy thing to do so thank you for taking the time to put this together.
Brilliantly explained! Saw something similar today in my local beadstore using shiny black string for edges and oval crystal beads and it looked stunning!
Thank you so much.
Great video! Thanks for sharing. I do have a couple of suggestions - If you use tapestry needle instead of flexible ones, you will be able to work more quickly I would think??? Also, instead of threading the needle in the manner in which you did, try folding the thread in half and put both ends through the eye of the needle. You can anchor the end by using the thread in a loop fashion. You can then adjust the length of your thread and won't have the hassle of the really long thread! Good luck.
Thanks, I have made this bracelet but it was so much harder because it wasn't clipped down and there wasn't a knot to hold it all together. Your video helped a lot!
Thank you very very much!! I searched so many sites and you had the best tutorial!! Great job!!
I've seen these bracelets, & wondered how to make them. Thanks so much for your tutorial, I was looking for a different type, & stumbled upon yours. I think you did a really good job of explaining the steps!
Thank you for the tutorial. I had no trouble understanding the process and had so much fun I made two in one night.
With a little editting and fewer words, this is an excellent video! I have always wanted to make this kind of bracelet and your instructions are clear from watching your video. These bracelet are relatively inexpensive. You could easily make one for less than $5.00. Thanks for the video!! I know what I'm giving for Christmas gifts!!!
This was a GREAT video! The detail was on point and I was able to make a beautiful bracelet by following along. Thank you!
You're welcome and thank you! :)
@Fantamonkey Thanks. I used Beadalon Dandyline Bead Weaving and Stringing Thread, but there are different brands that have similar bead weaving thread.
Why not start on the button end, tie a knot and bead from there? You tie off the other end and you don't need any glue unless you want to glue the thread. The thread can even be caught up in the end knots.
Your video was the best for this tutorial that I have seen and I have watched alot of them because I have wanted to learn how to make this bracelet for a long time your step by step was clear and easy to understand ! The video was crystal clear ! Bravo ! Thank You so much !!
Me encanto la pulcera y tu explicación muy muy clara felicidades
@DanniAndChels I made the bracelet, I think it is addictive! Can't wait to make more in short & longer versions, I am soooo going to rock them with my outfits!!
@FuzzyBubbles210 I'm not really sure, maybe a few hours. I used 96 beads on the long one and I think the size of the beads were a little bigger than 4mm.
Enjoyed your demo so much! You are so young and so professional and concise. Other tutorials I've suffered thru have all kind of background noise and needless babbling. You should give tutorials on how to give tutorials!
Very pretty bracelet look easy to do, think I will give it ago sometime soon! Thank you for sharing!! Liz..
My customers ask for these bracelets constantly. Thank you for making a video that is so easy to follow and understand. And I love your personality! Very cute stuff sis, thanks :)
I didn't really get the first part when you were putting the thread on the needle, but I'll try to figure it out! Love this! Amazing work!
Hey Dani, THANK YOU so much for posting this tutorial. I have searched & looked at loads of videos but have been so confused!! Yours is not only the best but very self explanatory, I love the way u make it fun to watch. I am off to go & make a bracelet, I reckon I will end making loads!!
Look forward to seeing more of your videos, ur such a great teacher, keep it up,
I use ordinary buttons, some metallic flats with a bow under the button or one made with coconut wood flat with two holes and the bracelets looks great..., any button, the only thing you have to consider is that the holes be big enough for the leather or the thread you use...
I was listening and did not hear like like like ..the tutorial was great I learned what I needed to. Why people have to be so picky and put others down I will never understand.
Good job and thanks for taking the time to share with us!
Great tutorial! You made it so easy to explain. I've tried making these before using a foam type loom. However, I was using a straight metal beading needle. Nightmare. I am going to use the same needle you used. I have a ton of them I just never thought about it. Thank you!
thank you so much for making this video. you made it very easy to understand and to watch. i made my first one and it turned out great. the only thing i need to do differently is cut more thread--i wanted to make it long to wrap but only cut about 4 ft of thread so it's just a single wrap. thanks again!!
Great video. Just made one. Boy are you right about the thread getting caught. But a great tutorial. Will use it again. Thanks!
Thank you for this post. It was very well done and quite informative & easy to follow. I'm off to the beading store for supplies. (my husband is going to kill me when I bring "another project in" but this looks like fun.) Thanks again.
@phatnat0776 My thread isn't stainless steel. The kind I have is called bead weaving and stringing thread and I think the brand is Beadalon and it also says Dandyline. But there are probably other brands that have bead stringing thread.
@staytrue72xo hmm...I'm not exactly sure. I know some people have used sewing thread before and it worked, but maybe it doesn't work as well as beading/stringing thread. Maybe it depends also on the size of the beads? The beads sometimes get out of place on the bracelets I made, but they arn't loose though.
Thanks so much for the easy-to-follow tutorial!
This is the best tutorial I have found anywhere! Thanks a lot for posting! I'm going to get started on one today!
Very clear instructions. I’m ready to try this! I’m still learning this craft and always feel uncertain about picking out the thread or cording, etc. I went to Amazon to find some beading string where there are different brands and sizes of thread. What was the one you used here? Thanks!
I thought you did the best job of all of the videos explaining how to do this.
Excellent tutorial. You explained every step clearly and concisely. Thank you so much.
Wow! this looks harder than i thought. yours turned out really nice, i thought they were the real thing!
Nice job. Thanks for the info - easy to follow & appreciate the "non-technical" way of explaining (thus allowing options and such).
Beautiful work!
@redheadinva It means that the thread was pulled too tight, so the beads bunch up.
when I watched this the first time,i was glad it was with sound off skidding thro to see if I could use any info???????NO I use leather cords ,40 inches red wax cord, tie at the center, button end ,clear nail varnish at the ends of the wax cord ,stiffen, use as needles loop thro( one over left, one over right or under if you like), leather cords then adding stones (I like pink morganite for ladies ,black obsidium for men)cross cords inside stone, loop cords, add stone , loop cords ,add stone .ect ,ect ,ect.......Regards Alf
I loved making this bracelet! Yes, you did a great job of explaining how to make it! Thanx!
Super job with you video!! You might want to try rubbing your threads with bees wax. This can help with the "unruliness" of the longer lengths of thread. Super cheap and a bar of it will last forever it seems. Love your work.. Thank you so much!!!
love Chan Luu bracelets and want to make my own version so I will be trying this. It would be helpful to print a list of materials needed but still want to try this:) Thanks for sharing!
holy hell! others were right... it actually makes sense now! I'm not a big commenter, but I had to tell you what a great job you did. I have watched 8,000 other tutorials and was feeling like a total moron bc I could NOT get it. I haven't actually Tried yet... so I might still be a moron, but at least I have an idea what's happening... Really Nice job! (PS- glad for honesty, but should totally be getting stuff for free! :))
Your instructions are excellent... very clear for me, a first-timer. Thank you!
This is the easiest tutorial I have seen yet. Good job. Tell me, what kind of button do I need for the closure? Would a regular button with a shank on the back (the part that sticks out) work, or do I need to find a special button closure? I was at Hobby Lobby today, and tried to explain what I needed the button for, and they really didn't have a special button closure clasp for beading jewelry. Any help would be appreciated-thanks!
This is really easy! Thanks. I used hemp and wood beads and it turned out really cool. The only problem was that the tread kept getting knotted
Great video. Thanks to you I have some cute stocking stuffers for the holidays!!
VERY cool idea! Thanks!!
I am going to make rose pettal beads from my birthday roses and try this for a bracelet. Finally something else than macramé!
Thanks so much for making your tutorial so easy to understand with clear instructions. I can't wait to get the materials and make my first bracelet. Will b back to post the results!
took me 1 hour 30 min... mostly just preparing and watching the video to understand but it's easy once you get the hang of it!
Just realised - This was uploaded on my Birthday!
I have a huge amount of customers asking about these, I use all high quality supplies! I have sold over 200 of them!! :)
I do these bracelets without the clipboard, just holding the work in my hands, it's faster. And I use regular nylon cord, you can combine different colors. Anyway, good tutorial for the beginners
Love it! Definitely doing this. Right away. Thanks for taking the time to really show each step instead of fastforwarding. And btw, u have such pretty hands! You could model watches! Lol.
Thanks for showing how to do it. I've made 4 of these in 2 days and they are really fun.
if you can't understand this vid or can't get over the condescending tone, Barnes and Noble carries the Klutz brand bead loom kit. it's 25 dollars and comes with a bead loom, needles, thread, beads, patterns, and a book of instructions so simple and straightforward that my 8-year-old niece can follow. there aren't any 'um's or hands in the way. all the stuff that she recommends in the beginning is going to come to more than $25.
Oh wow this is such a great video. Thank you so much for those wornderful ideas. I liked the way you explaned everthing... I'll be following your other videos. Greetings and hugs from Venezuela
Omg I have been searching for a video like this! Thank you so much. You explained everything perfectly. But I just have one question though, where did u get the button from and is the thread just regular sewing thread? Thank you❤️
Wow, thanks for the quick response, and again, AWESOME job! I'm going to start my bracelet tomorrow, and I'm really excited!
what a great tutorial! I have tried to figure this out so many times and you make it so easy.thanks!
Thanks so much I tried to read instructions but watching this video was much clearer :) if anyone could let me know how to add a button that has holes through it rather than a loop that would be great thanks
thank you ive beentrying to make this unsuccessfully a while back but just finished whst i had started it was the beginnint threading backand forth thing that i had not done what adiffrence thank yoyu dani! just finished it i love it
How do you spend on your supplies.... and how do you find a blance between cutting cost and product quality
That's for the tutorial. I made my first bracelet tonight with your great instructions!
I was a little confused at first with what to use but it was very easy to follow your instructions thanks :D
I making this bracelet literally right now and your video was really easy to understand and full of helpful tips. I'm running out of the thread that acutally goes through the bead though. How do I add on to it?
It's not wire or the kind of thread you sew with. It's stronger than the thread you sew with. It just says "Bead weaving/stringing thread" on the packaging.
Oh gosh I'm glad there are gadgets that make it a lot easier like the knotty do it all.
IT looks like a pretty good video, but you kept your hand in the way so I could not tell if you tied that string in the beginning or what you did to it so I was lost after that.
Thank you for the excellent tutorial.
THANK YOU for this video. I had been looking at pictures of wrap bracelets and I've tried like 5 times to start one, but this first thing with the 8s was missing in my idea, so it wouldn't work. THANK YOU for enlightening me! :D
Thank you! I actually get it now! Lol you did a great job explaining the process!!
You're welcome and thank you! :)
l
Great tutorial! This is the best one I've come across for how to make one of these. Thanks!
Any suggestions on what to do when you run out of thread before you get to the end of your bracelet? How do you tie the knots so they dont show? This happens with the 3 wrap style because you need so much thread to finish and it gets tangled when its too long.
@loraplauche I'm not exactly sure because I just estimated it. But you def. need a lot of thread.
I just wanted to say that this was the best tutorial I have found for this type of bracelet. Thank you so much for making this. I can't wait to watch your other tutorials. :)
Great video, thank you! How can I add more thread as I am going? I am doing a 5 wrap and there is no way to really start with one length of thread that will be long enough for the whole thing. Thank you!
I have bout a few of these bracelets but with some rubber band closer and the rubber band always pop...now i see I can make my own..Thanks!!
@erumbaugh1 hmm I'm not sure actually, sorry. I can't remember, but I used coupons when I bought the supplies.
You could get the cord from Michaels, Hobby Lobby or ACMoore. I think those beads would work.
Thank you for putting up a tutorial on this. It did get a little long though.
@darkartsninja when you thread the needle, you will pull the thread through quite always until the thread is at its center point. Then take each end of the thread and put them together. Then your thread will be doubled!
This is such a great DIY Thank u!!! I can't wait to make these, I much rather make it my self than pay over 100 dollars for a chan luu bracelet., even those those are gorgeous to.
I love ur room it looks so comfy!!! and thnx 4 the turtorial very creatice seen them but never thought of a wrap 1!
@MrDoomhippy I've never tried doing that before, but it might work if you tie it really tightly to the other thread. Yeah, it's really hard & annoying using a long piece of thread haha.
Excellent Job! I really love the bracelet! I am excited to start making them. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your talent. Great video!
