I knew I was doing something wrong. I need some of those needles! I've been hand stringing 11/0 seed beads for weeks. It's killing my hands. Thanks so much for the tutorial. You may have saved my fingers and eyes from some much unneeded pain and strain.
Love that coral mix set!
The two I ordered arrived today, and one is done, lol. I love these kits because even though I’ve been creating jewelry for quite a while, sometimes I just want to sit and bead without having to go through the design process myself.
Sounds like you're having a good relaxing time. I love that feeling of immersing myself in following a nice set of steps. Thanks for the order!
I love the toothpick and glue idea! Such cute bracelets too!
Thanks! We've been doing that toothpick and glue method for many years, glad to be able to share it!
Love these bracelets, and all the colors in the kits. A informative video lesson, for a newbie like me. Thank you for posting this video lesson.
Thanks Barb, glad to have you watching us!
Yay! So nice to hear Julie again! Welcome back, hope you do more guest videos, you've been missed.
We've missed Julie too, hoping we can get together again with her later this year
So glad you are back with us!!!!
It was great to have another Julie video to edit. She's keeping very busy with family and a home business so this is just a guest spot, but hopefully when quarantine is over she'll be able to stop in for a proper studio visit too
Julie I missed you! Happy you're back 💞
It was so fun to have another Julie video to edit! This is a guest spot from her, she's keeping busy with other project these days, but we're always glad to have Julie visit!
nice video! actually i love the rose one the most......... and it looks like these bracelets can act like stacked on bracelets as well.....thank you for the tutorial Julie and Beadaholique ....... :-)
Yes these make great stacking bracelets, you can mix and match. Glad you liked it Rebecca!
Welcome back Julie 🥰🥰🥰
It's been so nice to have another Julie video to share, and we were so happy to have her back as a guest, glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you sharing such pretty ideas and east to follow instructions💝
Thanks Laura, glad this was easy and inspiring for you, hope you make something fun!
I love this pattern. I did look up on the website to buy the kit, but it was out and I know it's been 2 years since this was posted. I just always try to support the person who does the video. But, I have been making them on my own, and actually found the stretch thread, I love it. Works really well for these bracelets. Thank you!
I am so glad you are making them and enjoying them!
Thanks for the very good tutorial..
Might have to look this kit up. I Love the Red Bracelet. So Pretty.💖
The red's my favorite too, we did it as a project a few years ago and I've loved it ever since. Here's the kit in red: beadaholique.com/collections/new-exclusive-beadaholique-jewelry-kits-serendipity-stretch-bracelets/products/serendipity-stretch-bracelet-kit-in-coral-exclusive-beadaholique-jewelry-kit
Hi, thanks for your caring. You answer me wit details it filled my eyes with tears. I was not expecting the answer. Thanks a lot.
Ooh, that's so nice to hear, thanks Fatima, I'm glad I was able to help. We're always happy to answer questions here, we want to share as much of our knowledge as we can to help everyone who beads
I string them all on the spool, then cut and tie off each bracelet. You can use a prominent bead to separate each bracelet so you know where to cut, giving yourself a couple inches, and don't forget to pre-stretch the cord before tying it off. .
Oh I like that idea, thanks for the tip!
Two years later and you’re BRILLIANT TIP is still helping folks like me! This video was so helpful, but your tip was equally beneficial!
Thanks love it
Glad you like them!
So so nice thanks for teaching us Allah will bless you for the knowledge that you shear you're a Muslim.
Thanks for your kind words and thanks for watching!
This is a great video, thank you!
Thanks Margaret!
This was such a great video! She explained very well while showing her work. She should demonstrate all videos!
Thank you!
Do you have a preference between opelon or stretch magic cord?
Pretty summery bracelets thanks Julie. Do you recommend pre stretching the opelon before putting the beads on? Would it help bracelets not get overly stretched out after wear?
We haven't found pre-stretching to be beneficial with Opelon. It won't hurt, we just haven't seen a difference in our work with it.
I always place a crimp cover over the knot.
I ❤️ this comment!! I just started using a crimp covers on these types of bracelets. I tried not knotting them just use a crimp bead then the crimp cover... to me the bracelet looks more attractive with the cover because I really don’t like that knot since it won’t be covered by the bead if it’s a tiny bead...but I might try your way lol
Excellent suggestion.
This is a great suggestion, we love using crimp covers as knot covers too
How big are the seed beads
I purchased the coral set and just love it! Thank you for such a great Kit with easy to follow instructions! I used up the Opelon and threw the empty roll away! Would you please tell me what size the cord is? Thank you again for a great project!
We can confirm it is 0.7mm Opelon cord. Thank you.
@@beadaholique thank you for your response!
Beautiful imwould make it a continuous loop!
Yesss!
I think this could be a gorgeous as one continuous loop, but I worry about how easily it would get tangled too. It could be a delicate piece to take off and store at that length. Just something to keep in mind if you want to modify the design.
@@beadaholique i agree also the 12 is more flexible fashion wise. I thought of seed bead only if its a continuous loop check out nonasdesigns on instagram thank you Beadaholique
How do I get a kit please
Hi, I like these so much. They are a treat for me. Kindly tell if we purchase locally how many beads we should buy. I wish I will be there to have them.
Let me give you an estimate of how many beads of each type we include in the kit. You don't have to use all of these beads, this is just a rough count:
We include roughly 1370 of these mixed 8/0 seed beads: beadaholique.com/products/czech-seed-beads-8-0-coral-reflections-red-1-ounce
30 of these 3x5mm glass beads: beadaholique.com/products/czech-glass-beads-faceted-rondelle-3mm-coral-red-opaque-with-picasso-finish-1-strand-by-ravens-journey
Roughly 100 of these 4mm cube beads: beadaholique.com/products/miyuki-4mm-glass-cube-bead-mix-crystal-medley-10-grams
25 of these 6mm fire polished beads: beadaholique.com/products/czech-fire-polished-glass-beads-6mm-round-matte-metallic-gold-25
And lastly 260 of these 8/0 seed beads: beadaholique.com/products/toho-seed-beads-round-8-0-989-gold-lined-crystal-8-grams
how do you know the right size stretch wire for seed beads?
We always recommending checking the hole sizes on your beads. The beads used in this kit are size 8/0, which have a hole size of approximately 1mm.

Thanks so much!
😍
Thanks! You can see them up close here beadaholique.com/collections/new-exclusive-beadaholique-jewelry-kits-serendipity-stretch-bracelets
Very informative video. Thank you very much. But i need your advice for measurements for wrist ages fro 1 year to 7 years. Thanking you in advance and wait for your reply.
We highly recommend getting a wrist measurement if possible, but we will post some suggestions below.
0-1 years: 4 inches
2-4 years: 4.5 to 5 inches
5-10 years: 5 to 6.5 inches.
Thanks for watching!
So bummed I missed out on the set I wanted to order.
We're building more of the kits today, check back later in the afternoon (Pacific Time) and we should have more in stock then
Hi what is the bead holding thingi called spring one?
Here is a link to our beading mats: beadaholique.com/search?type=product&q=Beading+Mat
I wish you would start doing some Kumihimo tutorials again.
We hear ya, we miss doing kumi videos too. They're not as easy to make in our at home studio tho, so we've been focusing on other projects during quarantine times. Hopefully we'll be back in our full sized studio in a few months and making more kumi videos. We did do a nice video on color blocking kumi back in January though, make sure you don't miss this one: ruclips.net/video/E4jL_Bv3L_A/видео.html
I would love to be able to buy a different color seed bead mix and matching beads for this project! May I ask what size seed beads you’re using?
Sure, they're 8/0 Czech rounds, we have a lot of mixes you can choose from here: beadaholique.com/collections/czech-beads?_=pf&pf_t_size=0-Size%3A8%2F0&pf_t_style=0-Style%3ABead%20Mix
@@beadaholique Thank you!!
What size beads are the solid coral color?
The coral beads are from this 8/0 mix: beadaholique.com/products/czech-seed-beads-8-0-coral-reflections-red-1-ounce
We also uses this 3x5mm faceted rondelles in a darker coral: beadaholique.com/products/czech-glass-beads-faceted-rondelle-3mm-coral-red-opaque-with-picasso-finish-1-strand-by-ravens-journey
What size needle would you recommend for size 11 seed beads? Thank you
For stretch bracelets like this you can use the same big eye needle that comes with the kit, this 2.1 inch needle is great for 11/0s: beadaholique.com/products/beadsmith-big-eye-beading-needles-2-125-inches-long-pack-of-4
For bead weaving 11/0s with thread and fireline we like a size 12 needle like this: beadaholique.com/products/beadsmith-english-beading-needles-size-12-1-pack-of-25
@@beadaholique Really like these bracelets. Thank you so much.
Glad you like them!
They were beautiful! Have you already made this elastic with very small beads of 2 mm?
Some of the 2mm beads we've tired are a little too small of this style of 0.7mm elastic. Hole sizes vary though so it will depend on what beads you use.
@@beadaholique I like to use this 2mm one but I don't know what is the best elastic to try to hide the knot
Here's the smallest stretch cord we stock, it's a round cord so it'll behave a little different than the Opelon, but it's thinner by about 25% so it may be a better be the best bet for trying this knoting technique with very small beads: beadaholique.com/products/stretch-magic-cord-round-5mm-019-inch-width-25-meter-spool-clear
Can you make a long string and the twist the bracelet instead of 12 separate ones?
The kit was really designed with 12 separate bracelets in mind. I worry that with one single strand it would get tangled up very easily.
@@beadaholique thanks
We may try something like this in the future if we can figure out a way to keep it from getting too tangled. If you do any experiments let us know how they turn out.
@@beadaholique I will try
Will the knot still be secured without glue?
I would recommend using the glue. It does make it more secure. Without it, you might experience the knot slipping over time since it's pulled slightly every time you put the bracelet on or off.
Which elastic use ??
We used Opelon for these.
In 4:65 I love it tho!
Thanks!
I was always told to pre-stretch the cord for stretch bracelets. Is this cord different that you don’t stretch it before using it?
The Opelon stretch cord doesn't need pre-stretching in our experience. You certainly can, it won't harm anything, but it's not necessary with these bracelets.
@@beadaholique I didn’t know that! Thank you!
No prob, we've done many of these Opelon bracelets in the past few years, glad to be able to share what we're learned
Are these kits still available??
They are but they are currently out of stock. There is an out of stock notifier that you can sign up for and be emailed when they come back in. beadaholique.com/products/serendipity-stretch-bracelet-kit-in-purple-exclusive-beadaholique-jewelry-kit
How do I order from you what is your website name..I like your work
Here is a link to our site: beadaholique.com
Thank you!
Buonasera, io volevo farli mo,to più lunghi, posso usare un altro filato e quale? Grazie
Hello! For this particular bracelet you need to use a stretch cord but you can use different brands of stretch/elastic cord. I hope this helps!
Every time I have used opelon it breaks when I tie the ends, even if I don't. Pull tight what am I doing wrong? Everywhere opelon is available for me it's all fine or very fine.
I’m not sure, perhaps the knots are too tight? Are you using glue to secure the knots or is this happening before you can even get to the glue? We're using 0.7mm Opelon.
@@beadaholique it is happening before I even get the glue on it, it usually breaks with the send half of the first knot. I don't know if it's a bad batch or what but I had to quit using it due to fear that all my bracelets would break.
@@debbiecobb5757 Oh that's frustrating. It does sound like a bad batch, maybe one that was storred in direct sunlight or high heat for a very long time. We've been using Opelon for our stretch bracelets for a few years now and the strands withstand plenty of stretching, yanking and tying without snapping.
Sounds like it gave you a lot of trouble but if you'd ever like to give it another try you can order the 0.7mm Opelon we show in the video directly from us. We stand by what we sell: beadaholique.com/products/opelon-stretch-bead-cord-0-7mm-5-meters-1-spool-white
@@beadaholique thank you, I have bought from you a lot in the past, I would like to give it another try!
@@debbiecobb5757 Wonderful, let us know how it goes!
Why didn’t you use the bead spinner???
We we find a bead spinner tends to work best for us when we're using beads that are all the same size, these bracelets have a mix. Also since we sell these as kits we like to demonstrate how to make them using just the tools we include in the kit and common household items.
Julie??? you're back????
Julie's visiting us for a guest appearance with this kit. She's keeping busy with personal projects and a home business these days, but it's always a good day for us here when have more Julie knowledge to share 💖
Please tell me the price is $15.99 for 12 bracelets or for one bracelet. Thank you.
The price is for the set of bracelets, not one single bracelet. Unfortunately these are currently out of stock but you can sign up for a notifier and get an email when they come back in stock.

How thick is the cord please
The kits use 0.7mm Opelon, you can buy it here: beadaholique.com/products/opelon-stretch-bead-cord-0-7mm-5-meters-1-spool-white
