I made this bracelet using crystal facet beads that were probably seven times the size of an E bead for my accent bead. I alternated them with silver lined crystal E beads and pearl seed beads. Some were blue. It turned out amazing! Thank you for the intense beading experience! I loved it! I have another design cooking in my head using this same method. It was suggested to me that maybe I should make a choker using the same idea. Love to learn!
When I saw this bracelet, I knew I had to try it. I followed your advice and went slowly and when I noticed a mistake I went back and after 4 days of rewinding and playing again, taking apart and starting over.... I was done. WOW, I could not believe I actually made it. The picture does not do it justice. It is absolutely beautiful. I have already purchased the suppllies for the multi coloured one. Just waiting for a day when I have lots of time on my hands to get started on it. Thanks.
@pinkynagal : a good necklace to go with that is the 10 strand chocker, but you can also do the caprico 8 rows and not so tight which will make it flat instead of round
Hi Van Gugi, I use one sting c-lon A thread here but if you watch the video version I use c-lon for the netting an fireline for the swarovski's. Bith will work but I found it's easier to ise two diferent kind of threads
@paddingtonchris: I used about 34 rows (times 10 beads deep) but I got a very tiny wrist. Not everyone first it so it's more or less up to the size of your wrist how many you will need. I think most people will fit it around 350 to 360. You can always do a couple of rows deep less, make it 8 instead of 10. The effect will be the same
Ik heb c-lon gebruikt voor de seedbeads en de swarovski kraaltjes hier. Eenmaal 6 meter breed draad. als je de swarovski steentjes gaat toevoegen dan pas strak trekken, niet eerder, vanaf de eerste rij. Je kan ook 3 meter c-lon gebruiken en afwerken om vervolgens de swarovski's met fireline te doen, dan wordt ie nog strakker. Je moet echt heel hard trekken als de swarovski's er op gaan, maar als je c-lon te beschadigd is dan kan je hem ook weer kapot trekken.
Soon this bracelet will be updated and I will show some actual video footage on how it's done, plus i will explain rows and how to count them to make sure you finish up right, and because I know many of you have probably broken you c-lon wire or can't get it tight enough I'll be doing this with two wires and show how to knot it safely, tightly ancd perfectly hidden.
Lot of perfectionists that belong here so you're basically at home :-) Forgive me my first uploaded video, it get''s better and a little slower as you will notice. This vid actually still needs to be replaced for 1080 hd :-) Just hit the pause button underneath the vid if you can't keep up, that works the best for now :-)
I think the main problem with the breaking of the thread lays in the fact people do not have the patience to pull one swarovski at the time through, they just add about 3 or 4 to their thread and pull it all through and not always in the direction of the beads either, that will damage the thread. If you want a good and solid piece you need patience and if it doesn't buldge enough that is ok, just go through all the swarovki's again. watch the video, I use c-lon A and fireline 0.006 there :-)
Thank you so much for such a quick response. I love, love, love your channel. Your work is very awesome, and your videos are so well done. I appreciate the fact that there is no sound. It makes it much easier to concentrate without distractions. Some videos have the most horrible music that even if I were interested in their subject, i couldn't stay to watch.
Hi Paula, silver seedbeads size 11/0, white seedbeads size 8 and swarovski rounds 4mm. And I don\t remember how many I used besides your wrist might not be the same size as mine. I would say don't start with less than 350 swarovski's in the house :-)
Moosie, the beauty of Fireline is it's strength and flexibility no matter it's size. You'll notice that it's almost impossible to break it on purpose, you'll end up cutting your finger before it breaks. To keep from accidentally splitting it with your needle (which is still difficult to do) try pushing the needle from the eye end first through the bead when going through a bead that has been previously added. Hope that makes sense, if not let me know and I'll try to explain better. :)
TMBR, lol, where do you gals get the idea I have time to do all that. I'm running 3 youtube channels, a 2 facebook pages, am a member of 5 beading groups on FB and I work another 4 days still a week... Plus not to mention I need my time to design and make tuts for all these channels, veio edit them, upload them and I still try to respons to each and all of my comments everywhere I'm active. LOL you gals kill me sometimes :-) I think the only way to do more is skip sleep... All 6 hours of it :-)
So this is basic netting that is joined and then embelished--never knew that was an Italian style but its good to know. After viewing your video (and few others) I feel more encouraged to do a bit more in this realm. You are quite good with your instructions :) I am thinking will try to do a MUCH smaller version with 15os and 11os in crystal color with 3mm embellishment but only on the top portion to make a ring--then either peyote the bottom or perhaps I will continue the netting solely around
for this one also Jem, you can find it on the footage / video channel, just search "b4pbakup" or click the video link underneath the video in the description area :-)
I used c-lon one whole thread. I don't know what KO beading thread is though. It might just be you didn't pull tight enough or that you pulled your skelleten to tight to begin with. If you use fireline all the way I doubt it will curve either. You can do it with two threads, but one has to be smooth and flexible and for the second you could use fireline . check out my how to do rows video maybe that will make things cleared. do youtubedotcom and add: watch?v=rVvzf__FsL4 behind it
Hello! Thank you very much for this video! Super! Very beautiful bracelet! The best! Please tell me, how many of each type of sb need on the all bracelet? 20g each enough or need more?
Thanks TMBR , Ive made a cople of these now and did use Fireline throught out . Im going to be making another one still sing Fireline but to be sre that I get the extra stength Im going to try using the thickest one that I can get through the beads .. If it doesnt work I'll just start again
@datashine38 : I make them at work that's why I really can't do video :-) I'm going to try and focus a bit on christmas now :-) I got a killer necklace in mind :-)
wow! this is absolutely gorgeous!!! im only a beginner, so please forgive me for skipping past the "entrance exam", but i just had to see how you did this! im gonna get the supplies to do this and keep at it till ive got it right! :)
I just made this. I used inexpensive beads to get the technique down, but there's a big bead show this weekend, so I'll load up on the good stuff. Couldn't do the phone test, but it did support a large remote control and two computer mice (mouses?).
That's a shame. Just hit the video mute button if you don't like the music, I do that all the time too :-) Especially with some Italian beading channels that I really, really like, but since I can't understand the language I might as well block it cause when I don't, I noticed I'm focusing on trying to understand it anyway :-) Don't let sound come in the way of your creativity :-)
c-lon AA. I did 6 armspans wide to made the piece wih just one thread. BUt you can also do c-lon for the skeleten 3 armspans and fireline for the top part with the swarovski. I did that when I did rows. :-)
@bluepeacocks : I have o idea what "capricho" stands for but when yu look for "capricho" you will find this bracelet with italian instructions. I don't know if there is an english name for it. Ring is nice, don't know if it will wear comfortable though :-) Let us all know :-)
This tutorial was done with 6 armlenghth of c-lon, but I did a "row" capricho vid where I did the netting with C-lon and the swarovski's with fireline. so that would make it a two-parter and less knots in yout threads. The curve does not show untill you do your swarovski rows :-)
I guess you could basically use anythingm but 6 armspan wide wildfire, wouldn't that tangle? I did use c-lon and fireline for the one I did with rows, that work out good. So I would say jus give it a try and see what happens, and if it works out great, let us know all know :-)
wouldn't be my first choise. Actually i never use elestic band, not even for my rings. That stuff will dry out. So depending on how long you want you would like it to last..., no doubt you could
Very beautiful. So kind of you to share, and even kinder to take the time to make instructional videos. This bracelet will be worth the 7 hours to make!!!!
Tiger tail is made up of multi-strands of very fine steel cables and usually twisted together. These multi-strands are then coated with plastic or nylon, which can come in a variety of colors. The coating creates a tough and resilient beading wire. So I personally don't recommend it for bead weaving as it will be too stiff.
Maybe not for the weave part, but how about for the top part when you add your swarovski's? I don't know it so I don't know if it will work, can you tell us TMBR? :-)
I haven't had the chance yet to make this project :( But I think I would use Fireline on all of it my first go around and see how it does. It's so strong, I use it for all my weaving projects. In this pattern she's using a seed bead on either side of the Swarovski (which is what I always do) this prevents the sharp edges of the crystal from cutting the thread. I don't see that she requires the use of two different threads, so I would use Fireline for the whole project. Hope that helps! Blessings
that's ok Marny I don't mind. I do talkies now to which is much easier, now people can giggle over my speach grammer but I think I'll get less comments on my spelling hahaha. So if you and your daughter are learning beading I have set up a beginners video channel also because this is actually more the advanced channel. Just search for "b4pbakup" (yes without the C and no that's not a grammer flaw did that on purpose :-)
c-lon is like reguar thread you use for mending clothes, only stronger. Don't know what tiger tail is but you can give it a try and see wha happens :-)
WOW that bracelet is FABULOUS. I do intend to try to make this. Im just a beginner though and I have only made a few things but I wanted to say that its GORGEOUS!!!!!
Hi Sheena, first I would have to say please go to the link underneath the video that has the footage / talk you through it link. And make sure you have at least 10 grams 11/0 seedbeads 10 grams 8/0 seedbeads and 400 swarovski's and you'll be save. However I don't know how much you will need since your wrist may not be my size wrist but 400 swarovski will be enough for sure :-)
O my word... you are such a good teacher.. Thank you so much... I am sorry if this is too much work.. I am an absolute beginner and I am not sure how much beads to buy, it would be really helpful if you can mention how many beads or the weight of the beads required for each project.. I love all your projects.. I want to buy beads for all of them... you know it needs to be like a food receipe,, so many grams of flour so much of sugar... etc... Thank you again.
Well it started when I started working as a security guard in a mall, every thursday there was a sort of market there and I saw 2 people who were beading behind their booth... I liked what they did so I asked them tons of questions :-) My first project was beading swarovski flatbacks on a pendant... That didn't hold (litterally) so I was soon off the glue. In a couple of days I went in to a hobby store bought a beading book and plastic bicone beads same size as swarovski's to practice with ...
If you are a beginner, check the description underneath the video. There is a link to my video channel with the same tutorial. I think that will help you a little more in detail :-)
I finished it, it is great!!! thank you very much, I have a question, what kind of thread you used or recommended? Thank you again, no I want to start a black one
to check it on making it come one and off easy you will need to make the bracelet and fit it before you put on the second layer which would be the swarovski's. A couple of more things are explained in the "next level" video (making rows) look in the description underneath the video, the link is there. I hope that will answer most of your questions :-) If not feel free to keep asking :-)
I have one pic tut and a vid tut, no delica's used whatsoever here in this one. Don't be sorry, that's what I'm also here for, not just to put up the tuts but also answer any questions you guys may have :-) Toho would work but your seedbead count may come up differently, you might be winding up using more, or maybe less swarovski's. Don't know never made one wit Toho's :-)
Thinking that a ring should lie smoothly so peyote may be the best option although if i do netting without embellishment for the bottom its a bit more adjustable--just tiny bit.
i uese c-lon aa, nope nylon does not work. you can use fireline for the swarovski's though as long as you use something regular like c-lon for the netting. That's the best way to go I noticed
yup I'm one busy bee, but it's ok :-) Along the road it will pay off. But with working basically 7 days a week, 4 for my boss and 3 beadingstuff I unfortunatly have to skip some other stuff if I want to be able to manage my comment and FB page and pin intrest. Would love to start a blog, just don't have the time :-) But it's all good. I hope at the end of the year I can work a day a week less for the boss and maybe that one day can be usd to start a blog :-)
Will 4mm Fire Polish work, too? I love this bracelet and your directions are great. Also, will it still curve nicely if I only make it 6 rows instead of 10? Thanks!!
Absolutely stunning! Could you possibly tell me the colours you used? You put codes on them but the shops I go to don't have the same codes. How many 4mm round beads did you use. So glad I found your tutorial xx
Now that I've watched and you're Dutch, I'm no longer laughing. Your English is better than is my 'Dutch.' Forgive my previous message, please. Thank you for showing such a gorgeous bracelet.
I will start with the positives first...AMAZING and beautiful bracelet. I like that you take pride in your work as do I. I don't mind putting the effort in, I just don't understand how to do this. I would really love to make this. I found this hard to follow. I need the pictures to be more in focus. I have the patience to make it but I don't think I was able to follow along.
Thank you for beeing such a generes person in everything you do :) I have learend so much from you and still learning! Love your designs too:) made Capricho yesterday and it blows my mind :) Sincerly Anne-Lise, Norway.
Personally, I think tiger tail would just be too stiff for this project. Because it's made of twisted steel cables it can get crimped if it's bent too far, this causes a weak spot that can break easily. Once I found Softflex I quit using tiger tail, Softflex is just so much better. Still for this project I think I would solely use Fireline, it knots well and you can't split it easily with your needle. I always blunt my needle tip with a nail file too. Hope this helps!
i just started and ive learned a lot from your videos i get my beads at hobby lobby and joannes they really dont have much to chose from can u suggest any places ? thanks
I'm sorry I don't understand you say to "go through the two 11/O seed beads and tie 3 knots,5:22. Then there is a picture of the needle going through the 8/O, 5:30. Then at 5:32, you say ...pull so the knot is in the 11/O... Do you mean the 8-O?
beautiful Italian bracelet, I know every bracelet is custom to size, but I'm curious on how many swarovski's did you use in the bracelet, and how many 8/0 did you use. mahalo
On my packages it says size a, but on ebay I also see size AA as the same. But yes go ahead and try it, if it works out great let us know so other people know what else would work good for this bracelet :-)
Well I wouldn't know, I guess you can try anything :-) I never added a clasp, don't see the need, but if you succeed and it still looks good, let others know here ok :-)
you don't "have to" it's just a pattern and this is the way I did it. anything that works better for you Moosie or if you like to try, go right ahead ;-)
THANK YOU FOR REPLYING - I THOUGHT OF ADDING A CLASP BECAUSE WHEN YOU MAKE ONE ROUND PEACE YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT BIGGER RIGHT. SO YOU CAN EASILY TAKE IT ON AND OFF - BECAUSE IT'S NOT ELASTIC - I JUST WANDERED IF I USE A CLASP - WILL IT SHRINK AND GET THIS WONDERFUL SHAPE JUST THE SAME.
No, this is what's puzzling me! I counted both sides, both (the whole work) is 10 beads down. I am going to unravel it again and start anew. The first one I did with fireline closed seamlessly.( am gonna put it aside and check after a few daysit to see if can figure out what I did wrong). I will let you know. Thank you so very much.
hiya again, well i managed to do it even as a practice piece it is very impressive, i used wildfire instead of c-lon or nymo,yes it did tangle a few times, i only made one major mistake, which is good, i have pictures on my facebook profile, if you fancied a look. i tested the strength with two ds lites, and it worked, am now ready to start all over again to make the proper one, oh instead of bi-cone i used 4mm faceted beads, and i used little white seed beads and size 8 clear beads,
❤️ it!! At the end of your video you said to make a matching necklace, and I tried to find your video of a matching necklace I can’t find it. What is the name of your video so I can watch it next please. And Thank You.
you are just fabulous - I keep learning by just doing it - watching videos and all. But your jewelry is just so fabulous as well, I am going to try to do them. But OH MY, you are just marevelous - thank you for sharing the how to create these.
Beautiful! I would like to to try the two colors but don't want to end up with the mistake that the Italian girl did where the rows of colors don't match. How to prevent that? Thanks!
Thank you, also what size of that fishing line is the best? I tried to make it last year but instead of white glass beads I used plastic ones and they didn't survive the pulling, so I gave up, but I want to make it right this time, and I will study your instructions with my friend who speaks english more than me so I can get it perfectly ^^ I think the one you've made here is the best looking one, cos other colour don't look so expensive and glamorous ;) I just hope that I'll be patient enough;)

The picture does not do it justice. It is absolutely beautiful.
I have already purchased the suppllies for the multi coloured one. Just waiting for a day when I have lots of time on my hands to get started on it.
Thanks.
@pinkynagal : a good necklace to go with that is the 10 strand chocker, but you can also do the caprico 8 rows and not so tight which will make it flat instead of round
Hi Van Gugi, I use one sting c-lon A thread here but if you watch the video version I use c-lon for the netting an fireline for the swarovski's. Bith will work but I found it's easier to ise two diferent kind of threads
@paddingtonchris: I used about 34 rows (times 10 beads deep) but I got a very tiny wrist. Not everyone first it so it's more or less up to the size of your wrist how many you will need. I think most people will fit it around 350 to 360. You can always do a couple of rows deep less, make it 8 instead of 10. The effect will be the same
hi Art, underneath the video in the description area is the link to the video / talk through footage

This vid actually still needs to be replaced for 1080 hd :-) Just hit the pause button underneath the vid if you can't keep up, that works the best for now :-)

Beautiful, wondering if I have the patience to do it. Thank you for sharing with us.
Just finished my first Capricho bracelet and it's wonderful. Your instructions are very good. Easy to follow. Thank you for posting this tutoial.
Thank you so much for such a quick response. I love, love, love your
channel. Your work is very awesome, and your videos are so well done. I
appreciate the fact that there is no sound. It makes it much easier to
concentrate without distractions. Some videos have the most horrible music
that even if I were interested in their subject, i couldn't stay to watch.
Hi Paula, silver seedbeads size 11/0, white seedbeads size 8 and swarovski rounds 4mm. And I don\t remember how many I used besides your wrist might not be the same size as mine. I would say don't start with less than 350 swarovski's in the house :-)
Moosie, the beauty of Fireline is it's strength and flexibility no matter it's size. You'll notice that it's almost impossible to break it on purpose, you'll end up cutting your finger before it breaks. To keep from accidentally splitting it with your needle (which is still difficult to do) try pushing the needle from the eye end first through the bead when going through a bead that has been previously added. Hope that makes sense, if not let me know and I'll try to explain better. :)
TMBR, lol, where do you gals get the idea I have time to do all that. I'm running 3 youtube channels, a 2 facebook pages, am a member of 5 beading groups on FB and I work another 4 days still a week... Plus not to mention I need my time to design and make tuts for all these channels, veio edit them, upload them and I still try to respons to each and all of my comments everywhere I'm active. LOL you gals kill me sometimes :-) I think the only way to do more is skip sleep... All 6 hours of it :-)

After viewing your video (and few others) I feel more encouraged to do a bit more in this realm. You are quite good with your instructions :) I am thinking will try to do a MUCH smaller version with 15os and 11os in crystal color with 3mm embellishment but only on the top portion to make a ring--then either peyote the bottom or perhaps I will continue the netting solely around
That bracelet is beyond GORGEOUS!!!! VERY classy & elegant!!!!
for this one also Jem, you can find it on the footage / video channel, just search "b4pbakup" or click the video link underneath the video in the description area :-)
I used c-lon one whole thread. I don't know what KO beading thread is though. It might just be you didn't pull tight enough or that you pulled your skelleten to tight to begin with.

you are right I have seen them done with simple pearls for instance and it atill loks great.
@datashine38 : I make them at work that's why I really can't do video :-) I'm going to try and focus a bit on christmas now :-) I got a killer necklace in mind :-)
wow! this is absolutely gorgeous!!! im only a beginner, so please forgive me for skipping past the "entrance exam", but i just had to see how you did this! im gonna get the supplies to do this and keep at it till ive got it right! :)
This is a great tutorial - I love the fast pace and the pictures. I look forward to finishing up my bracelet!

Maybe not for the weave part, but how about for the top part when you add your swarovski's? I don't know it so I don't know if it will work, can you tell us TMBR? :-)
yes Jose I buy bulk, packs of 1140 swarovkis 4mm round AB
V-necklace would match it, also there is a 5 row chocker that goes perfectly with this :-) Have a look in my playlist under necklaces
You're welcome... hope to have the video version up soon also on my beginners channel :-)
I haven't had the chance yet to make this project :( But I think I would use Fireline on all of it my first go around and see how it does. It's so strong, I use it for all my weaving projects.

that's ok Marny I don't mind. I do talkies now to which is much easier, now people can giggle over my speach grammer but I think I'll get less comments on my spelling hahaha.

Loving the fact you don't give up Paula :-) Happy new years. :-)
c-lon is like reguar thread you use for mending clothes, only stronger. Don't know what tiger tail is but you can give it a try and see wha happens :-)
Never used Nymo either so I don't know what kind of thread it is.
WOW that bracelet is FABULOUS. I do intend to try to make this. Im just a beginner though and I have only made a few things but I wanted to say that its GORGEOUS!!!!!
This is a simply stunning bracelet Gianna!! Well worth the time and effort put in to make it. Many thanks for your wonderful tutorials :) :)
Hi Sheena, first I would have to say please go to the link underneath the video that has the footage / talk you through it link. And make sure you have at least 10 grams 11/0 seedbeads 10 grams 8/0 seedbeads and 400 swarovski's and you'll be save. However I don't know how much you will need since your wrist may not be my size wrist but 400 swarovski will be enough for sure :-)
It's ok, Ive found some C-Lon in my bead weaving kit my husband got me for xmas so I'll have another go with that. xx
Sorry, been ill since New Years Eve, came down with norovirus. Have re done the netting part of the bracelt, just have the crystals to put in now xx
I think I may have just scraped through!! I'll let you know if I ever finish this bracelet x x
O my word... you are such a good teacher.. Thank you so much... I am sorry if this is too much work.. I am an absolute beginner and I am not sure how much beads to buy, it would be really helpful if you can mention how many beads or the weight of the beads required for each project.. I love all your projects.. I want to buy beads for all of them... you know it needs to be like a food receipe,, so many grams of flour so much of sugar... etc... Thank you again.
Well it started when I started working as a security guard in a mall, every thursday there was a sort of market there and I saw 2 people who were beading behind their booth... I liked what they did so I asked them tons of questions :-) My first project was beading swarovski flatbacks on a pendant... That didn't hold (litterally) so I was soon off the glue. In a couple of days I went in to a hobby store bought a beading book and plastic bicone beads same size as swarovski's to practice with ...
If you are a beginner, check the description underneath the video. There is a link to my video channel with the same tutorial. I think that will help you a little more in detail :-)
Got motionsick? It sometimes happens to me when people make really shaky video's. Sorry :-(
wow, I don't know, did you by accident ad another row along the way?
I finished it, it is great!!! thank you very much, I have a question, what kind of thread you used or recommended?
Thank you again, no I want to start a black one
to check it on making it come one and off easy you will need to make the bracelet and fit it before you put on the second layer which would be the swarovski's. A couple of more things are explained in the "next level" video (making rows) look in the description underneath the video, the link is there. I hope that will answer most of your questions :-) If not feel free to keep asking :-)
I have one pic tut and a vid tut, no delica's used whatsoever here in this one. Don't be sorry, that's what I'm also here for, not just to put up the tuts but also answer any questions you guys may have :-) Toho would work but your seedbead count may come up differently, you might be winding up using more, or maybe less swarovski's. Don't know never made one wit Toho's :-)
It's a great one, when you have mastered it, try the rows. I put that vid up too on how to count them so you end up correctly :-)
Thinking that a ring should lie smoothly so peyote may be the best option although if i do netting without embellishment for the bottom its a bit more adjustable--just tiny bit.
i uese c-lon aa, nope nylon does not work. you can use fireline for the swarovski's though as long as you use something regular like c-lon for the netting. That's the best way to go I noticed
yup I'm one busy bee, but it's ok :-) Along the road it will pay off. But with working basically 7 days a week, 4 for my boss and 3 beadingstuff I unfortunatly have to skip some other stuff if I want to be able to manage my comment and FB page and pin intrest. Would love to start a blog, just don't have the time :-) But it's all good. I hope at the end of the year I can work a day a week less for the boss and maybe that one day can be usd to start a blog :-)
Will 4mm Fire Polish work, too? I love this bracelet and your directions are great. Also, will it still curve nicely if I only make it 6 rows instead of 10? Thanks!!
I think I used about 330, if you read down the comments I'm sure it's there somewhere. It's been almost a year since I made this... ;-)
Absolutely stunning! Could you possibly tell me the colours you used? You put codes on them but the shops I go to don't have the same codes. How many 4mm round beads did you use. So glad I found your tutorial xx
Now that I've watched and you're Dutch, I'm no longer laughing. Your English is better than is my 'Dutch.'
Forgive my previous message, please. Thank you for showing such a gorgeous bracelet.
I will start with the positives first...AMAZING and beautiful bracelet. I like that you take pride in your work as do I. I don't mind putting the effort in, I just don't understand how to do this. I would really love to make this. I found this hard to follow. I need the pictures to be more in focus. I have the patience to make it but I don't think I was able to follow along.
you don't know if you don't try :-) Just don't ask me how to do it cause I don't have a clue. :-)
@browneyes124337 I am working on it, I hope to have the beginners tutorial up tomorrow :-)
so this picture version is no help either? You did already look at the video version right?
Thank you for beeing such a generes person in everything you do :)
I have learend so much from you and still learning! Love your designs too:) made Capricho yesterday and it blows my mind :) Sincerly Anne-Lise, Norway.
Personally, I think tiger tail would just be too stiff for this project. Because it's made of twisted steel cables it can get crimped if it's bent too far, this causes a weak spot that can break easily. Once I found Softflex I quit using tiger tail, Softflex is just so much better. Still for this project I think I would solely use Fireline, it knots well and you can't split it easily with your needle. I always blunt my needle tip with a nail file too. Hope this helps!
i just started and ive learned a lot from your videos i get my beads at hobby lobby and joannes they really dont have much to chose from can u suggest any places ? thanks
Beautiful! Can't wait to try this. Can yo tell me how many Swarovski Crystals you used?
@ConductorOfLight93 no that won't be enough. Don't start this with less than 400 swarovski in tthe house
Sorry Moosie, I didn't see my notification of your reply. Yes, I would use Fireline for the whole project.
Blessings!
I'm sorry I don't understand you say to "go through the two 11/O seed beads and tie 3 knots,5:22. Then there is a picture of the needle going through the 8/O, 5:30. Then at 5:32, you say ...pull so the knot is in the 11/O... Do you mean the 8-O?
beautiful Italian bracelet, I know every bracelet is custom to size, but I'm curious on how many swarovski's did you use in the bracelet, and how many 8/0 did you use. mahalo
On my packages it says size a, but on ebay I also see size AA as the same. But yes go ahead and try it, if it works out great let us know so other people know what else would work good for this bracelet :-)
Well I wouldn't know, I guess you can try anything :-) I never added a clasp, don't see the need, but if you succeed and it still looks good, let others know here ok :-)
did you maybe forget to do your last row before connecting the two sides?
you don't "have to" it's just a pattern and this is the way I did it. anything that works better for you Moosie or if you like to try, go right ahead ;-)
Hi Paula, happy new year. Was thinking of trying this one but again wanted to ensure i use the right beading thread. SOoooo how is it going?!
Hi TMBR are you saying you would use fireline for the netting as well as the swarovski part as i thought you had to use two differnt threads ,
This is an amazing piece! I look forward to making it. Could you please tell me the exact kind of wire you used? Thank you.
THANK YOU FOR REPLYING - I THOUGHT OF ADDING A CLASP BECAUSE WHEN YOU MAKE ONE ROUND PEACE YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT BIGGER RIGHT. SO YOU CAN EASILY TAKE IT ON AND OFF - BECAUSE IT'S NOT ELASTIC - I JUST WANDERED IF I USE A CLASP - WILL IT SHRINK AND GET THIS WONDERFUL SHAPE JUST THE SAME.
No, this is what's puzzling me! I counted both sides, both (the whole work) is 10 beads down. I am going to unravel it again and start anew. The first one I did with fireline closed seamlessly.( am gonna put it aside and check after a few daysit to see if can figure out what I did wrong). I will let you know. Thank you so very much.
hiya again, well i managed to do it even as a practice piece it is very impressive, i used wildfire instead of c-lon or nymo,yes it did tangle a few times, i only made one major mistake, which is good, i have pictures on my facebook profile, if you fancied a look. i tested the strength with two ds lites, and it worked, am now ready to start all over again to make the proper one, oh instead of bi-cone i used 4mm faceted beads, and i used little white seed beads and size 8 clear beads,
❤️ it!! At the end of your video you said to make a matching necklace, and I tried to find your video of a matching necklace I can’t find it. What is the name of your video so I can watch it next please. And Thank You.
Your videos are not at all complicated to follow. Glad I found it!
Hi, love the tutorial, just wondering how you would do a matching necklace, as i'm guessing you would use some clasps, not over your head. ;)
you are just fabulous - I keep learning by just doing it - watching videos and all. But your jewelry is just so fabulous as well, I am going to try to do them. But OH MY, you are just marevelous - thank you for sharing the how to create these.
yes you can also watch full screen that helps too :-)
Beautiful! I would like to to try the two colors but don't want to end up with the mistake that the Italian girl did where the rows of colors don't match. How to prevent that? Thanks!
hey hi..lovely wrk...wanted to ask u if we can use elastic wire instead??
Thank you, also what size of that fishing line is the best? I tried to make it last year but instead of white glass beads I used plastic ones and they didn't survive the pulling, so I gave up, but I want to make it right this time, and I will study your instructions with my friend who speaks english more than me so I can get it perfectly ^^ I think the one you've made here is the best looking one, cos other colour don't look so expensive and glamorous ;) I just hope that I'll be patient enough;)
I absolutely love this bracelet and so can't wait to try it! But Im curious. What kind of 'wire' did you use?
I watch and watch this ... adorable ... plucking up the courage to try it .... Thank you .
I love your tutorial. How many 4mm beads did you use to make your bracelet?
