Checking out the tutorials from your webpage and they are great! Christine has the best store in Charlotte. Beads Inc always has stones and crystals you can’t find in your average craft store. I got those really nice copper looking kinda floral bead caps that were in the very front of the store in the glass cabinet and I think the three strand would be better than a beaded tassel cap so thanks Christine for the inspiration!
I am so excited that I discovered your videos! I will be them! May I very kindly ask that you slow down your process and give us time to really see what your doing! Don’t want to miss anything! 🌸🌼
dawnsabo2604 thank you so much for watching and for your kind and gentle feedback! Yes- of course, my team and I are always looking for ways to improve camera angles and timing. I hope that you’ll check out some of my more recent tutorials as we have made some great improvements. Keep on creating! I appreciate you 🤗📿🌸
This is a fantastic tutorial! I'm always afraid to use bigger caps because I think they make necklaces look bulky. But these are super cute, I will have to branch out.
I'm not sure if you still check comments on old videos, but if so, can you please explain what you mean by "tied off at the ends" in regard to the multiple strands? Are there jump rings attached to the ends?
Great video! Love your style! Is there anyway that you would consider putting names and links to where we could purchase the same size and style beads, bicones, end caps etc.?
christine white, thank you very much for the quick response. I looked you up and see that you are a bead store. That is exciting! Can't wait to shop your online store when you get set up! ♥️
How exciting! I love the technique in this video but I really love the bead style and color combination - so subtle and soft and just perfect! Looking forward to your direct links!
This one is a bit of a challenge for me because I think I pull the wire to tight. I'll keep watching though until I perfect it..lol! Oh and I love the colors....can wear with just about anything. Thanks again for sharing! :)
Jane Thomas thank you! And thank you for watching! The strands are made using crimp tubes and beading wire. Please let me know if I can be more specific 🤗
This is SO helpful! Thank you! But I have a question: When I try to make this necklace, I have a hard time with the many strands not falling into any orderly layout -- do you know what I mean? For example, one strand may be on the top of the strands on one side of the necklace but get twisted into the back by the others. Is there a way to make the strands fall into an orderly arrangement?
Can someone please tell me the name of those caps she uses to cover all the crimps on the necklace? I have a 3 strand necklace. i want to put a cap on each end and cover up the 3 crimps
Joy Parker thank you so much for watching! These are approximately 12” long. You could certainly make them longer or shorter, though! I usually make all strands about the same with little graduation. ✨
I just started to bead recently, I have only been making bracelets! I don’t make them just for fashion, I love the fact that there are natural stones that give you all kind of energy :) But since I have been following you and beads in charlotte, I can’t wait to learn how to make necklaces and other new things! hope to join you guys a class soon and will be visiting beads in charlotte soon too! #giveaway
michelle nguyen thank you for watching and following along! We would love to meet you! 😊 Best of luck with your jewelry making. The possibilities are endless!
Where can you find bigger beads to hide the ends of the strands. I find it very difficult to find the right size beads. The holes are either too large or too small. Anyone know a good place to go? I find I spend way too much time trying to find them.
I am hesitant to use the flat crimping process as I feel the strands won't be secured. Why aren't you using the crimps beyond flat crimping? Are you using a crimping tool to "flatten?" In other words, I was under the impression that crimping is a two step as a measure to secure wire onto itself to prevent beads coming off of wire? How is it that flattening is secure?
Cassandra Castellanos thank you for watching, and great question! Over the course of my career, I’ve found that many people get daunted by the two step process of folding a crimp tube and will often wonder what they are doing wrong... sometimes they even end up giving up on jewelry making all together. By using gold-filled or sterling silver crimp tubes of an appropriate size and flattening them firmly but gently, onto a nylon coated stainless steel wire, you can create a secure finish that lasts for years. In my crimping video, I make sure to point out the different options of flattening vs. folding, and I always encourage folks to do whatever feels right for them. I am using the very tip of my crimping pliers for this application here, but you can certainly use a flat needle-nose plier, too. I’m a fan of sterling and gold-filled tornado crimps, too! These are slightly longer fluted crimps made specifically for flattening that provide a fail-safe heavy-duty hold for your creations. 😊✨
Don't mean to be pushy or a know-it-all but if you're trying to teach people how to do this please at least tell him the proper way to use crimping pliers because you are not cramping properly
Coleen Taylor thank you so much for your feedback! I encourage you to visit the tutorial linked in the description section which is my first ever tutorial. We go over the use of crimping pliers and the difference between flat crimping and folded crimping. I like jewelry makers to use whatever technique feels most comfortable to them- as long as they know their options. 🤗🌸
Looked at a few videos on this topic. Yours is the best one!
I have always admired your Multi-Strand necklaces and you're right they can be heavy and also expensive to make.

Thank you so much for watching! yes! give it a try- it's always fun to try a new technique!
I'm not sure if you still check comments on old videos, but if so, can you please explain what you mean by "tied off at the ends" in regard to the multiple strands? Are there jump rings attached to the ends?
Great video! Love your style! Is there anyway that you would consider putting names and links to where we could purchase the same size and style beads, bicones, end caps etc.?
Carol Smith absolutely! I’m working on that right now. Soon you’ll be able to link directly to it. Thank you as always for watching! 😊

Thank you for watching! Don't be afraid to really tug that wire! you won't hurt it. Also check out my video on crimping!
I just found your channel, Christine. Very nicely done. Is there a description for how the strands are created?
Jane Thomas thank you! And thank you for watching! The strands are made using crimp tubes and beading wire. Please let me know if I can be more specific 🤗

Hello How do i use closed cone end caps for multi strand necklace thanks in advance christine
great question... usually closed cones, meaning they do not have a hole, require gluing. I have not worked much with these, unfortunately.
Can someone please tell me the name of those caps she uses to cover all the crimps on the necklace? I have a 3 strand necklace. i want to put a cap on each end and cover up the 3 crimps
Did I miss how long each strand is? Does each strands need to be longer than the other?
Joy Parker thank you so much for watching! These are approximately 12” long. You could certainly make them longer or shorter, though! I usually make all strands about the same with little graduation. ✨

Christine, are all your bead strands the same length? I finally tried the bigger beads (8 and 10mm), and I see why people like them!!!!
Sarah Pettijohn yes, these are all about the same. But you could certainly graduate your lengths for a different look! 😊 Thank you for watching!
