I use crimps instead of tying knots . It looks so much neater and it’s quicker . I do this with wind chimes too and they hold up thru wind , rain and storms .
Very good video, your explanation was very clear and easy to understand. I liked the idea of the tackle box so much I looked it up because I was able to see the name sort of. Plano tackle organizer box. So very cool. Thank you for saying the size of the glass ball. And the fluted flower bead.... what size was it? Very curious about that. Thank you for this video, I love suncatchers and found I could get most of the supplies on Amazon. I think my cat loves them more, he lays on the floor trying to catch the colors and purrs. The color lights are his catnip. Again, thank you, I hope you get this message.
I have a few different ideas for you. You could hang a hook in the top of the window sill if it’s wood. Some people have used a small tension rod and put it up into the window and hung a hook onto the loop to hang the Suncatcher from it. You can also use a suction cup or maybe even use fishing line to hang in the desired position from a tack in the drywall above the window. Hope this helps and thank you so much for watching. 🤗
Gorgeous work!… but I'm curious why you use a small jump ring AND a lobster claw to attach the charm and not just a slightly larger jump ring by itself?
I get them in bulk and honestly don’t share that information at the moment. I have them on my Etsy individually available and the cost includes shipping! everythingajs.etsy.com/listing/1729717508
Hi AJ. Beautiful suncatcher and thank you for sharing. What size is the 'fluted bead cap' you are using? Tried to find it on Amazon but unsuccessful. Can you share a link? Thanks
The size of the Acrylic fluted bead is 11x13mm I would just Google them they have been easy to find that way me. I bought these 5000 off eBay in 2015 so I’ve had the same ones for a while now
I think you used a clamshell knot cover at the end there? Do you ever secure it with a bit of glue for extra security? And about how heavy is that crystal? Lovely piece!
Yes that’s the name, it’s always slipping my mind as to the name especially when making a video. The Crystal and beads when done aren’t that heavy. It’s definitely smart to do what you can to ensure a good fit into the clamshell knot cover, and I’m confident the knot is enough. I’m not sayin you can’t just not really necessary when using such a hefty knot. Having a good fishing line definitely helps too. Than you for watching!
what size tackle/craft box are you using? All the ones I have found are only like 10 inches tall and this one looks larger? Thank you for your input, I take my beading with me when we camp and I need a better set up
I’ve had them for so long I can’t remember where but I’ve seen sets at Michael’s Craft store. Walmart might carry something online too. Good luck and thanks so much for watching!
You need a close-up of the individual pieces. Some of those are so tiny that one cannot see what you are doing with what. However, I did enjoy your approach. Thanks.
I’m definitely trying to show thing closer with my videos it’s been a great adventure figuring out the best way to show the small parts. I will focus on a few still shots to help with that going forward.
Hi there. Did you know that you can use your index and middle finger to widen and enlarge an image or area on a RUclips video? Just like you would a picture taken on your phone. That is if you’re watching the video on your phone.
@kyluci1 I tried that but I still couldn't see what she was using at the top. Was it a crimp bead Crimp ball? I have no idea what she was using and I watched it blown up several times.
I love making suncatchers and yours is beautiful! Do you have a shop or link to your supplies? I would like to use your crystal 'topper' that you used for the large teardrop. but I can't find one! Thanks for the tips!!🧚🧚♂🧚♀
I use a clear line and I just snatched one of my husband’s extra rolls and I believe its 17lb. Just make sure it’s strong enough to handle something hitting the line and not breaking. Thanks for watching 😍
@@EverythingAJsThank you! I’ve been a passenger in a car with a crystal hanging from the mirror. When the sun hit it just right it blinded my eye for a scary moment. I no longer felt safe. I don’t know how my friend deals with that every time she drives.
Shipping them is easy because if you use a Polly bubble mailer they stay safe from being chipped. This also is the most inexpensive way to ship as well 👍 I do place a organza sheer fabric bag over the crystal ball and wrap it in tissue.
I have a brother in law that passed away 1 month ago and he worked for the post office for many, many years but he passed away on the job 😢. I want to make his wife a suncatcher so I bought a small mail box because he used to pass the mail. I want to put it at the beyof the suncatcher, is this a good idea? Please let me know. Take care and have a safe day today 💕. Thank you.

That’s definitely another good way to connect them. Thanks for sharing this with us! 👍
Tbh I think knots would work best
Which size crimp?
Which size crimps
Thank you for your video. We bought all the beads and had no idea what we are doing until we watched your video.😊 Thank you again!
😃 thanks so much for watching and I’m glad it helped! 👍💯
Nice technique for a sun catcher.
Thanks 🙏

Surgeon's knot
Much better video
thanks from new zealand,
10PM in Bristol, VA. This is beautiful!
Thank you for the compliment and watching! ☺️
Yes it’s beautiful
Thanks ☺️
Thank you! Very helpful!!
😊
I’m glad it helped! 🤗
Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! I saw you put together a Suncatcher but nwas unsure how to tie the knots and attach the charm.
Awesome suncatcher video! Thank you. Could you please tell me how to attach it to something? What parts do you suggest?
I have a few different ideas for you. You could hang a hook in the top of the window sill if it’s wood.

Thanks for showing how to do best knots!💝💐
Great technique! Thanks for sharing💞
Thank you ☺️
That's How I Create 😁
Gorgeous work!… but I'm curious why you use a small jump ring AND a lobster claw to attach the charm and not just a slightly larger jump ring by itself?
Just the way I’ve found works but there’s definitely more ways than one to make it work. Good suggestion 👍
They are so cute. Where do you get the ab crystals ? The prices are all over the board . TY
I get them in bulk and honestly don’t share that information at the moment. I have them on my Etsy individually available and the cost includes shipping!

Search for “Plano tackle box” it’s a 4 drawer. I’ve found them at fishing supply locations online and Walmart in person.
Here’s a Walmart link. www.walmart.com/ip/Plano-Fishing-Guide-Series-Drawer-Tackle-Box/13283387
@@EverythingAJs thank you
Very nice 🤩🤩🤩💖💖
Thanks ☺️
THANK YOU!
You’re welcome ☺️ ✨
Thanks for sharing, amazing video. From where can I buy the clasp you used on the end to attach the ring? Thanks
They can be purchased in craft shops or even online. If you search clamshell knot cover you should hopefully find some options that work for you
Thanks for your reply
Where did you get your pink tools? I have been trying to find a pink tool set for my bead and jewelry projects.
I’ve had them for so long I can’t remember where but I’ve seen sets at Michael’s Craft store. Walmart might carry something online too. Good luck and thanks so much for watching!
Awesomeness
Thanks 😊
Can you tell me what the tip thing is you put on the top ?
It’s a clamshell bead tip
Hello’ thank you for the process! I’m new and don’t know what it’s called you used on the end when tying the knot?
I believe you are talking about the “fluted bead” or did you mean an actual tool that I’m using?
@@EverythingAJs yes the end bead (fluted bead)! Thank you!
What size bi-cone ? was it 2mm does it go approx. halfway in the charm holder ?
2-4mm depending on the size of the tubes loop bead you’re using.
Do you have a specific tackle box that you recommend? What is the brand and model of yours?
I found mine at Walmart here’s a link for it Here’s a Walmart link. www.walmart.com/ip/Plano-Fishing-Guide-Series-Drawer-Tackle-Box/13283387
Hello I love your suncatchers. I am wondering what size of clamshell knot cover you used?
Thanks for asking, they’re a 4mm sized clamshell.
@@EverythingAJs Thank you, they all look so small. Hard to tell what would cover the knot.
Absolutely and I’m finding myself squinting more and more it seems because of the smaller sizes.
You need a close-up of the individual pieces. Some of those are so tiny that one cannot see what you are doing with what. However, I did enjoy your approach. Thanks.
I’m definitely trying to show thing closer with my videos it’s been a great adventure figuring out the best way to show the small parts. I will focus on a few still shots to help with that going forward.

Can you tell me what the finding is that you used at the top? I tried to enlarge it but I still can't figure out what the metal piece you used is.
Absolutely beautiful!! What size trumpet bead do you use?
The size is 14x10mm thanks for asking and I appreciate you taking time to watch my videos.
@@EverythingAJs Is that the white fluted bead?
Yes
I love making suncatchers and yours is beautiful! Do you have a shop or link to your supplies? I would like to use your crystal 'topper' that you used for the large teardrop. but I can't find one! Thanks for the tips!!🧚🧚♂🧚♀
If you Google fluted bead I believe you will find what your looking for.
@@EverythingAJs not finding that one.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing your process. What type of bead is on top of the Crystal ball at bottom. Very lovely.
It’s called a fluted bead. It’s acrylic and comes in many colors and sizes.
I need the size of the flute bead. I also would like the name of the bead cover for wire at the top of sun catcher. Thank you much 😊
Hi :) Which type of fish line you use ? Thanks :)
I use a clear line and I just snatched one of my husband’s extra rolls and I believe its 17lb. Just make sure it’s strong enough to handle something hitting the line and not breaking. Thanks for watching 😍
So is that one knot at end in bead cover ? Mine keeps falling through. Any idea why?
You need to tie a bigger knot so do it maybe three times.
If I was to do this for a car suncatcher, what would I add to the top to hang from the rear view mirror?
I’m not one for suggesting that crystals be hung from vehicles. Sorry I don’t have a suggestion.
@@EverythingAJsThank you! I’ve been a passenger in a car with a crystal hanging from the mirror. When the sun hit it just right it blinded my eye for a scary moment. I no longer felt safe. I don’t know how my friend deals with that every time she drives.

What size bead cover to hide last knot ?
It’s 4mm

I think that’s exactly what you should do! Anything that you make that has a meaning will be a blessing and well received as a long lasting gift. 🙏💌
What is the name of the bead Metal) that you hang a charm on the side
Spacer bail bead, I also have seen it called a tubed loop bead.
@@EverythingAJs Thanks
You mean a “Surgeons Knot”.
