Hi friends! We've just made an updated version of this beaded eye glass chain tutorial featuring ELITE Eureka Bicones (since Swarovski aren't easily available to crafters anymore) that you can check out here: ruclips.net/video/zaI8lYs9PcM/видео.html Happy Beading!
Thank you for the easy tutorial! I've been making jewelry for years and never even knew of french wire! I've bought some and now I feel brave enough to open the package and make this project... thanks to your awesome video!
Love your tutorial, hand on the project very clear step by step,very professional ,unlike all those people that talk and talk just to shows there faces,you are great ,thanks so much
glad to hear you mention that, I am so weary of all the you tubers who turn us into an audience for their awful music and cutesy jokes ... This presentation is a class act, thanx for excellent teaching and resource. I do have a question, what is french wire? I will go to your website and see if I can figure it out. Excellent job!
Hi! Thanks for the video. I just made a few with some of your sets, but I put some lobster claw claps on the end to Onto the elastic or ear pieces of a face masks.
I have made the eyeglass necklace before and I have found the stringing material cuts through the rubber part pretty easy so I put wire Guardians on it seems to work wonderful now.
Thank you for making this video. I've been having trouble with my crimper tool for a while since I really didn't understand how to use it and it didn't come with instructions at the time. LOL!
EXCELLENT VIDEO. but the other commenter is correct about needing to add the WIRE GUARDIANS to prevent cuts. but your video is very clear and precise. and beautiful too.lovely
Does anyone know how or have the tools to repair one of the little rubber ends for the eyeglass holders? The round rubber piece to my eyeglasses lost the middle metal part- I have another metal part just like it but I can’t figure out how to get tge rubber loop through the tiny metal loop!
Hi Leslie! Your best bet is simply using a pair of chain nose pliers and trying to feed it through... I'm not sure how easy (or possible) it will be as they are generally on their quite tight SO they don't come off...worst case, you may have to re-make your eyeglass chain with a brand new one.
Hi Peggy! Sorry for the oversight! You can use 3mm or 4mm crimp covers for the 2mm crimps. We offer them in sets too: www.eurekacrystalbeads.com/beadsmith-2mm-crimp-tubes-3mm-crimp-covers-set-silver-plated/ or www.eurekacrystalbeads.com/beadsmith-2mm-crimp-tubes-4mm-crimp-covers-set-silver-plated/ Thanks for watching!
I have made several of these but I don't like the rubber or silicone fastener that holds the glasses. It seems to stretch out and the glasses fall off. A friend bought me a commercial one that had a different kind of fastener it was almost like a square in a hard rubber. It worked so much better but I cannot find it anywhere I thought you maybe could find them. Thank you.
@@EurekaCrystalBeads I bought it in a jewelry supply house many years ago they are great but the black rubber on them gets brittle and breaks. Check out the major supply houses for costume jewelry, I cant remember the name.
Hi Kendall, our website isn't shut down, we are simply out of stock of the French Wire. You can find it here:- www.eurekacrystalbeads.com/french-wire-silver-medium-14-inch/ Just click the "Notify Me" button to get an email as soon as it's back in stock! 💖
Hi! For the jewelry wire, use BEADING WIRE 30 Ft Soft Flex Satin Silver FINE .014" 21 Strands, and when it comes to French wire, all of them are hollow, but for this project we used: FRENCH WIRE Medium 14" Silver Color which is 0.9mm thick (this is the standard mid-thickness). If you click the link in the description, the exact wire as well as the French wire are listed if you scroll down a bit so you can read more about them. :) Hope this is of help!
Hi Ree! So sorry about that. There is an option to change the play back speed in settings on the right side of the video (you can change it to 0.75 for example). We hope this helps!

Hi, can I know what is the name of the thing u put before the crimp bead. The silver soft tube? Thank u.
That's called French Wire :-) The link above (in the description box right below the video) links to everything I used.
Just got glasses today. They’re kinda boring so ima make a rainbow bead chain for it :)
Woo hoo! 💖💗🧡💛💚💙💜 Life is to short for boring glasses!

You don’t show the crimp covers in the supplies list. What size covers would we need.

Hi Lorene! Thanks for your comment. I am not sure if I have ever seen that type of fastener but I will keep an eye out! :)

I just remembered I think it was Rio Grande or something like that.
Where could I buy French wire? I didn’t snag any before your website shutdown :(

Do you think a wire guard would look professional if I don’t have French wire?
Yes, go for it! If it's too wide apart in the bottom part, pinch it slightly with pliers or your hands. Wire guards look great, too!
The wire you used: what mm is that? And where do I find french wire with a hole in the middle?
Hi! For the jewelry wire, use BEADING WIRE 30 Ft Soft Flex Satin Silver FINE .014" 21 Strands, and when it comes to French wire, all of them are hollow, but for this project we used: FRENCH WIRE Medium 14" Silver Color which is 0.9mm thick (this is the standard mid-thickness).

Thank you so much i appreciate this and your response
Couldn’t see how you put rubber holder on u went too fast
Hi Ree! So sorry about that. There is an option to change the play back speed in settings on the right side of the video (you can change it to 0.75 for example). We hope this helps!
@@EurekaCrystalBeads thank u I learned something new didn’t know I could slow it down wow 😊 thanks
It is so helpful for tutorials! 😍 Enjoy!
One thing you didn't think of is when the rubber grips wear out, break or dry up, they cannot be changed, rendering the chain useless.
Hi Victoria! We haven't had an issue like that with these silicone eye glass holders.
Eyeglasses chains are more attractive and makes a woman more beautiful...
Thank you
