    I am crafting some simple jewelry pieces for my outdoor sales stand. I’ve been making pies and jams but with COVID-19 a lot of people are afraid to even approach the table. So I am branching out into including jewelry on the front table and putting the Pie And Jam in the shade which is probably better anyway for the food. I’m just looking for simple techniques and your tutorial gave me everything that I will probably need.

    I can’t tell you how happy I am to have found your videos! It’s very hard to find courses where I live that cover all these basics (most of them are goldsmithing and silverwork classes, or bead weaving). I’ve only watched three of your videos so far, and I’m hooked! Can’t wait to get all my supplies together and get started. Thank you! ❤️

  • @crazyeaglelady
    @crazyeaglelady 6 лет назад +6

    Thank you, Susan! I'm glad you agree with me on the Easy Knotter. I love it, because I don't have to think through the steps (easiest to use), plus get the knots right up against the beads with ease. Just want to mention, you didn't say anything about pre-stretching the elastic cord. I was always told it is necessary, but is it?

    • @JewelSchool
      @JewelSchool  6 лет назад +4

      I think you meant the silk cord since you are talking about knotting. Yes. Absolutely always wet and stretch silk cord before knotting. If you do not, it will stretch later and you will end up with space between the knots and the beads. If you meant the elastic here is an answer I previously posted addressing this. “The jury is out on this one! I use elasticity and I have never found that I have to do that, but many people swear by this trick. It certainly does not hurt the elastic to pre-stretch it so stretch away!”

    I've been playing around making stitch markers to hold my place when I have to take my crochet hook out of my project. - Basically a drop earring with a clasp instead of a earring hook. -
    But I didn't wrap my wire around after I made my circles. Now I wonder if I should go back and redo them. 🤔 none of them have come undone.

    definitely cheaper to learn how to wire wrap and create your own head pins, eye pins, open/close jump rings. But as for creating decorative chains from wire i tend to favor just buying them as making them is very very tedious. Though i am curious if you have any good methods or perhaps a cheap home user machine that can make different decorative chains? Industry machines pump these out by the kg daily.

    • @JewelSchool
      @JewelSchool  5 лет назад +2

      Hi Katy! I prefer a bead stopper in case I want to change up the design - add a little more to one end, mix it up, or completely start over - but adding one half of the clasp is a fine way to do it too!

    • @JewelSchool

      Hi Ellen! This is from Susan: Any wire will eventually break if you stress a certain point over and over again. Bending it work hardens it to the point if being brittle. Some wire just does it faster. Hope this helps!

  • @BeadnWithNicoleB
    @BeadnWithNicoleB 3 года назад

    So my question is what's the difference between the material you used to string the first and second bracelet? I understand that the second bracelet was stretch cord.

    • @JewelSchool
      @JewelSchool  3 года назад +1

      Hi Nicole! Great question! Bead stringing wire is a wire made up of several, thin steel wires that are woven or wound together (in this case, it's 19 strands to make up one complete wire - it's basically the same concept as how industrial power cables are constructed). It's often coated with a thin layer of nylon that helps protect the beading wire from wear and gives it a softer feel. It comes if 7, 19 and 49 strand, which as this suggests, gives you strength according to the type of project your doing and how heavy your beads are. 49 strand will be the strongest and used for heavier beads. Beading wire is malleable, but does not have the elasticity (or pull) like your stretch cord does. With bead stringing wire, you will need to use crimps to hold it together, whereas you can simply knot stretch cord to finish the bracelet. Hope this helps!

      This will largely depend on the size of the hole in your pumpkin bead coupled with the type of design you are trying to accomplish. Honestly, you'll just have to test it out with a few different gauges, but most beads will require 20ga wire or smaller.

I’d like to do some heavier wired earrings with swirls, I’m just a little confused about which to use and when, all the way down to making earring hoops and the hooks you use , do you use a hard wire for the hooks on earrings and soft for bending swirl type decorative loops. Hope this makes sense. Thanks, Lori

      Totally makes sense, Lori! Check out this swirl earring tutorial with soft wire. It describes how to make post more stiff by twisting it. facebook.com/jewelschool/posts/2928301597192781?mcid=XSOjsyt
      In general, we recommend using half hard or hard for earring hoops and hooks. Good luck!

    Do you recommend people stretch the elastic before stringing so it doesn't stretch out with wear?

      The jury is out on this one! I use elasticity and I have never found that I have to do that, but many people swear by this trick. It certainly does not hurt the elastic to pre-stretch it so stretch away!

    Hi!
    Thanks for teaching!
    I would like to know if you have a video explaining how to put a clasp on silk cord.
    Keep up the good work!

    What is the name of cement you used? My hearing is off! I reversed the video to listen again. I looked on links, didn't see a tube that looked like your tube of cement.
    Thank you again for great video.

    Different uses of knotting plier, not only with silk. With wire please, thank you
