I’ve watched this video and successfully made a 4 strand this morning for a bride...I was so proud & she loved it
Keyonnia Herriott fantastic! I am so happy for you!
The thing I like best about your tutorials is that the jewellery is always secure. I am never afraid it will unravel !
True, I really secure things. I learned a long time ago that I do not like repairing them. 😜
Very lovely bracelet. I love the way you have done this without any crimps. Can't wait to get started on my red, white, and blue one. Thank you!
Eittap very good idea!🌹
Starting each strand with the seed beads before adding the bigger beads is such a wonderful tip. I just restrung the last multi I made and it works so much better. It’s more more flexible. Thank you!
sharon pragacz yes, it is important to allow space for the strands to lay together.👍😁
The one thing that impresses me the very most about your videos is you go slow enough for even the beginner to understand. By the way I am a beginner and I love your stuff thank you for sharing!!
You are very welcome, I am happy my videos are helping you learn. Going fast doesn’t help people, so I try to be as precise and slow as I can to demonstrate in an understandable way💜❤️💗
Gina, this bracelet is very pretty and I thank you for teaching us this.
You are welcome, glad you like it.
Wow! I have a new appreciation for multi strand bracelets
Thanks for this wonderful tutorial and for the very clever use of 11 and 6 beads near the clasps. I’ve been looking for a way to avoid using crimp beads and this is it! 😊
Thank you, glad it was helpful!
This is such a great video- I’ve been trying to figure out how to do multi strand bracelets and necklaces. Thank you so so much for making giving clear descriptions of the process!!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching and commenting, I appreciate it!
Beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
How cute is that?!!! Great idea putting the 6/0 and then the 11/0 before each strand; it lays nicely! Thanks again!
Deborah Narendorf yes, works well, glad you like it!
Thank you for sharing your technique. It worked so well for a multi-strand necklace I was struggling with. Your instruction was extremely valuable.
You are very welcome, I am very happy to be helpful!❤️
I love this tutorial and the bracelet. I just finished 3 prayer bracelets using 7 strands. At the end the 6/0 beads were pretty tight but I made it work. Great pattern and instructions - thank you!!
You are so welcome! I am happy it was helpful ❤️
Love the bracelet and style😍 Thank you for being so creative AND sharing it...☺
You are very welcome!😁
Excellent tutorial! Beautiful multiple strand bracelet. Thank-you much for sharing.
Linda Smith Ford you are very welcome 💗
Totally gorgeous! I love that you don't need any glue!!
No glue, no crimps, just lots of thread😁 worked great and doesn’t fall apart.
So fun and cute Gina, Thank You!
Connie Borg you are welcome, my friend🌹
I watched this tutorial like half a year ago but I’ve been terrified of not getting the length right. But honestly worst comes to worst you can always remake it. At this point I’ve made more complicated projects and I’ve never even done the multi strand to this day. The one thing I and not sure about is the visible thread around the toggle. A wire guard wouldn’t work because you would need it for each strand. It really does look amazing and may not even be an issue. There is a clear benefit which is how easy it is to twist as much as you desire and I’m pretty sure the less you twist the longer it is.
Hi, you can extend your thread easily. Look in my shorts there is a video explaining how. The thread in the loop of the toggle is not as visible as you might think. The only thing I can say is, try it. You can always take it apart if you don’t like it. 😁
Thank you so much for posting this very east to follow instructional tutorial. This bracelet is beautiful.
You are very welcome, I am happy you like it!😁
Lovely bracelet Gina 👌🏽❤️
Aruna Basappa thank you very much 🌹
I really enjoy your you tube videos. Learning a lot from you. Thank you. Kim
That’s very nice to hear, glad you find them helpful!❤️
Very pretty. I had a couple of necklaces similar to that bracelet, now I know how it was made.
Really pretty. Love it
Julia Lenoir thank you🌹
Such an easy way to make multi strand bracelet. Thank you so much. I have been struggling with making these bracelets for so long but it never comes out good. I will try this technique. Thanks a lot 💕💕💕💕
Haniya Faheem you are very welcome, I hope it works well for you.
This is a great tutorial and a lovely bracelet. Thank you!
You are welcome, thank you for the nice compliment!💙
Awesome video!! Thank you for sharing!! ❤️
I've just made one of these having followed your tutorial, thank you I was beginning to think I'd bought alot of beads that I would never use, I didn't have the toggle ends but I did have small lobster clasp so I used those for now until I can order some toggle clasps from Amazon, I'm in the UK and love the beads you use so am hoping we have the same here or atleast similar so I can keep following your tutorials, very very informative and super easy to follow thank you will definitely be making more of these xx
Hi Clare, so happy you found a use for your beads! Have fun learning and creating, so happy to have you out there with me❤️
This bracelet is lovely!! I like it - thank you for teaching us how to do it!!💓
I'm glad you like it
Hi there from the UK. I always love your tutorials, I've been absent from crafting, jewellery making for several months due to ill health, but I've tidied my craft room and your video has hugely inspired me to make this beautiful bracelet. You teach perfectly, slowly, in order for us viewe's to take it all in. Brilliant, lovely lady. Thank you from Wales, UK xx 😍
How sweet you are! I a. Happy to hear you are feeling better and ready to enjoy your crafts again, that’s fantastic news!
Simple...and simply beautiful!
Thank you 😊
Great video, I love the way you double up on the wire to secure the bracelet
Thank you, I like to make my pieces strong, or they fall apart and break my little heart.😜💕🤪
You are the best. Thank you so much for your tutorials.
You are very welcome!💕💙❤️

It’s so beautiful… might be beyond my beginner me!! But I will watch a Few more times.. because it’s so beautiful
You can do it! Just take it slow, practice is all it takes.
Thank you so much for your videos, they have made a world of difference for me..
You are very welcome, so happy you find them helpful!💗💙💕
i had to admit gina, i thought what is she doing with those colors, i wasnt sure i liked them , but when i seen the finished bracelet i was hooked, it is stunning and so sparkley ... love ur finger nails too !!!
karina sulger funny how certain combos work well, even when your not sure about them😁 Glad you like it!
Excellent instruction. Thanks.
Thank you!❤️🌹❤️🌹
Even though it's a bit more tedious this is a much better option for me because for whatever reason working with wire and crimps is more difficult for me. Thanks for being my brain and teacher haha.
TheDrmr567 LOL, yes, lots of people have issues with crimping, you are not alone. Beading is tedious, that’s just how it is😜
Thanks for this wonderful video. Of course you can use hardware attachments for multi strand bracelets, but I think this is a great alternative (and sometimes more professional) to using crimps, cones, etc. Also, I believe you could do this technique with large hole beads and heavier thread or cord, going through each bead strand one time. For example, if you want to use ethnic or metal beads, etc.
Yes, I think that would work, good idea. I think this looks so much prettier than a bunch of crimped strands, though if done well, that can look really good too. But it’s a nice alternative.🤪💕
Thank you Gina!!! Awesome tutorial!
ShoryoTombo you are welcome!

Dar Smith yes, I agree, this is perfect for the beads that come in subscription boxes. 💕👍💕
That's really cute! Thanks for sharing. Now I know what to do with all my seed beads and small crystal rondelles.
Yes, it’s a great way to use them up.
Nice tutorial. I also love your nails!

Thank you!
Very pretty
Thank you!💕💕
Love this bracelet! I’m thinking of doing a necklace to match. Maybe 6-8 inch of beading and chain on sides. Do you think 5hat would work?
Yes, definitely!
Thank you
You are welcome 💕
I love these multi strand bracelets and like them best when they are twisted. The never seem to stay twisted, though, and I wonder if there is a way to twist them permanently when you are making them.
Probably, I would have to play with it.
Hi. I have tried making multi strand bracelets with fish tail. My bracelets always turn out too thick and not very flexible. Thank you for this video, well all of your videos!. I have been following you since October 2019 when I started my beading journey! Keep posting and motivating.
Tamika Adams Hi, glad it was helpful. It’s very nice to know you’re out there. Thank you for watching. Know you are appreciated too.💕💕💕💕
Very Nice 👍
Thank you 😊
Thanks for the detailed tutorial. What type and size of needle are you using?
Carolyn Lawton size 10 English beading needle
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
😁😁😁😁😁💗
No crimp beads? Thanks for a really good tutorial.
Merrill M Lipowsky no crimp beads, it’s true, you’re welcome 😁
Would love to know where you got those toggles from. I am just starting out and trying to learn all the best places to shop for this stuff. Thanks!
I have had them for a while, I remember where I bought them but you can get some toggles on my website. I just ordered a bunch more and will have more to choose from very soon. ggctreasures.com
I LOVE your tutorials... your demonstrations and narratives are great!! BUT I can not get the knots on stretchy cord to be in a line like you do... mine end up in one big pile of knots! CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS????
I did not use stretch cord, just regular fireline. That is why mine do not bunch. Try just a long piece of Fireline
GGC's Beginning Beaders thank you! Makes sense!
Okay, so your preference for wire and thread or whatever differs from mine, I guess. But, I just started trying to make stuff at the end of July and I have no idea what kind of substitute to use for your preference. I'm going to try what I have but I wanted to ask: if you're using 8lb nanofil and I have some .012 in/0.30mm Beadalon supplemax monofilament illusion cord, would that suffice? I am going to try with what I have right now, but I would like to know what you'd suggest (besides just buying Fireline or whatever brand you use). Thanks.
Of course you can try anything you’d like. I am not familiar with all the threads and fishing lines available. I only know those I use often. I recommend Fireline or Nanofil. But like I said, definitely try what you have. If you find it difficult to work with, then, get some fireline😁
Can you do this with gemstones or would they fray the thread?
Gemstones would look awesome with a mixture of all different beads.
Gorgeous! I do have a question. With the tail being loosely knotted and cut off, I would worry it would unravel. How does it not? If you can explain... 😅 thanks so much for sharing!!
Brittany Lemons it doesn’t because, you sew through it again and as you come back through to start your next strand, and each after, the thread is wound through so many times, it is more than secure. Good question😀
BTW, this is Gina, just signed in as my other channel.
Thanks! Your work is amazing, by the way!! 🙂
Awe shucks, thanks!
Me gustan tus tutoriales pero no entiendo inglés y no lo puedo traducir en español pero ahí voy siguiendo tus instrucciones
Hi Gina, Why are there 2 6/0 seed beads on one end and only 1 on the opposite end?
For functionality, the round end is hard to pass through, if the body of the bracelet is wide. It needs to be narrow on that end to pass through
❤
😁❤️
Achei linda.infelizmente.nao vi como se.faz!!!
Cute
Thank you ❤️
Hi Gina, Thankyou for this tutorial 👍🏼👍🏼🌻🌻how Long was your Thread buy beginning this bracelet.. and Its possible to take a Second Thread..?
Because I want to make a necklace by this was.🌻🌻🌻🌻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🌺🌺🌺🌺
delia demir I had two Wingspans ( approximately 6 feet). But, yes,you can extend your tread , just make sure your extension knot is very small. Or add a new thread the same way you started the first thread, after tying and securing the first thread.
GGC's Beginning Beaders thanks
Gina- Can you please make a necklace like this? I wonder if the necklace will be strong enough to carry all the beads?
I loved that piece and want to make a necklace but don't know how?
Mel Ersoy I just saw this, and yes, I can do that, but it is the same process, just make longer strands
beautiful. I wish you had written down the items used. I am a beginner and not sure I can find them
Buy any beads 4mm round and smaller. You can actually use any shape. You can use 11/o and 8/o seed beads too. Don't over think it, just string small beads. You need 3 6/0 seed beads, a clasp and some fireline. This is meant to inspire your own creativity. Its a technique video.
Do you have a tutorial using letter beads at all? Thank you!
Would it be possible to just start the new rows on opposite ends instead of stringing all the way back to the one end each time?
You can but the strands will be week, traveling through again reinforces the strands.
Darn I don't have any of the nano or fireline thread you think the beadalon 19 strand would work?
No, that’s bead stringing wire, not the same thing. Shop Amazon for Fireline😁
I don’t understand the use of the 6/0 bead followed by 11/0s at the ends of the strand near the clasp. Is it functioning like a crimp cover? Does it enhance mobility?
The 6/o seed bead, allows for many passes of thread through the end to attach to the clasp. It has a wide hole and hides all the thread coming up from the strands, it is functional and aesthetic. The 11/0s, at the start of each strand, allow the strands to lay together nicely where they enter the 6/0. It is a design technique that allows beauty, flow and function. So the answer to your question is yes.
@@GGCBeginningbeaders Thank you so much for answering my question so quickly! At first I thought it looked a little strange, but when the bracelet was complete it did not show very much and I certainly can see how the design is strengthened and improved by it. I’m a beginner, and I've had quite a few pieces fall apart on me.
@@MaggyShannon you are welcome, always reinforce your work with with extra passes of thread, it will help strengthen your pieces.
@@GGCBeginningbeaders Hello, next morning here, I'm embarking on what I hope will be a creative day. In future, would you please do a tutorial on selecting bead cones for use with multi-strand necklaces? I am having a bit of a nutty over color mixes, and that’s one way I've seen of making the work look polished. I can do the math to determine what circumference bead cluster will fit in which cone, but the artists on RUclips never seem to get so technical. (Or maybe they are really hiding it?).
❤❤❤TÜRKIYE ❤👀❤
😎❤️💕😀😍
May I ask how much you sell these for please x
A piece like this , probably twenty five dollars. I used cheap beads and didn’t spend a lot of time on it.
Can you do this style with a magnetic clasp?
Yes, just sew through it the same as you would the toggle.
@@GGCBeginningbeaders oh okay thank you so much
Where can I buy the supplies.
You can get seed beads from beadabeada.com and budget bead box for the other beads and clasps.
That just seems like alot of work and high probability for mistakes. But the bracelet is great
Actually, it’s very easy. The only way to know is to try it😁
Sorry for being so stupid but the big 6/0 seed beed sort of takes the place of a crimp. You add 11/0 seed beads to the ends of strands of bigger beads to make the strand lay flat.
Yes, that’s exactly right.
@@GGCBeginningbeaders at 24:41 you didn't go back - did I miss something?
Diana Moon I did it off camera, and say that. By this point in the video it was too tedious and repetitive to do it on camera.
Can i use 6lb if my 8lb won’t be here in time
Keyonnia Herriott yes.
😭🤩🤩💖💖
Why wouldn’t you just double up the string so you don’t have to backtrack and re thread ?
You could, but it can be hard to pass through some beads and it tangles a lot.
