thank you so much for making a video like this !! i’ve been struggling recently with making flat charms for necklaces and this is really really helpful :)
thank u for posting this video. it was super helpful. i made the pink skull in the video you mentioned, and while the end result is a little crooked, its still perfect in my eyes! i really thought there was a right way to making stuff like this, when there isnt.
I'm a visual learner, and I kind of understand, but at the same time; I don't. like, for example: the Minnie Mouse how could I do the bow? I could do the circles and then the bow, but then that wouldn't be flat, if yk what I mean. I know you also said there is no wrong or right way to do it, and even though I'm a beginner, I don't want it to look bad.
There are many different ways to make kandi. I am giving examples of what works for me. Some charms can be made it separate pieces and then sewn together. I like to start in the middle best. It will be your preference. I have lots of flat charm tutorials on my channel that can be a visual guide and good for practice.
How do you stack the ends together? Like when you finish a row and have to come back up to go the opposite direction for the next row? If that makes sense. I feel like I’m looping too much to get them on top of each other and it makes it look strange and crooked. Is there a better method to ending that row and starting the one on top whenever the design is supposed to lay flat on the edges?
You need to weave through the beads to start new rows. Using a thinner string may help. You can reference my past tutorials to get an idea of how I create additional rows.
Ty! I don’t really get it. I don’t know how you do it because a lot of videos are showing tutorials, but I don’t really get none of them like I really need help. I don’t get it. Do I do it?
i dont know if this makes sense.. but how do you make parts of the kandi in different lengths? for example on the bow bead its not just a uniform straight line all the way across, some points are longer and shorter than others. How do you do that?
Thanks for watching!

Trying different types of string and the tightness could help get them straight. Keep practicing you got this!
This makes me wanna rush to my Kandi supplies and make a Beanie Baby tag for a choker
Thank you SO MUCH. that helped me a lot! I couldn't figure out how to make these for months and now i finally started my first charm!
this is such a nice tutorial! when i was starting out i would have loved to have a vid like this as help. thank you!!
Thank you for your feedback! Sometimes it's hard for me to explain the process and I was unsure if this would come across as helpful. Thanks 😊

And a Kandi charm like this that at first glance has no bigger bottom, top, left, or right area that I could start at?

Could you maybe do a tutorial for a platoon squid charm? if not thats okay!! thx
Have you checked out kandipatterns there are some patterns available!
Yo, and you show the exact skull I'm trying to make lol

These are more advanced tutorials. I would try multi stitch/peyote stitch cuffs until you get comfortable. Then, move on to flat charms.
How does one tie off a flat shape like that?
They will vary depending on your pattern. You can tie off anywhere you see fit when you finish the shape.

You have to build different sections and sew them together.
Ty I was so confused 😐 BUT NOW IM NOT 😂🎉🎉🎉
I need help reading a simple kandi cuff ;-;
No worries it takes time & practice. Be patient with yourself.
