I'm so frustrated with tutorials that rush through the mundane steps as if you understand exactly what is happening in the step. My lady, you are a true teacher. Job well done. I loved the video.
OMGGGGG Thank You!!! You saved my sanity!! I feel like I had to watch a million videos then I get to yours and you make it perfectly simple perfectly fine perfectly easy I love love it!
I knot all my pearls and gems. Its the only way to go, and honestly, it feels better to wear, its more fluid with my movement. This is the best knotting video I have seen. Beautiful work!
Well I can’t believe that it’s video came up.. and so thankful that it did. I was wearing my freshwater pearl bracelet today in a dressing room at the shops when the bracelet broke… pearls flew everywhere and I was half undressed!!! I salvaged all the pearls and now I’ll know how to string the bracelet back together again. Thanks for the excellent tutorial ❤
I'm darn near speechless! So pleased I can write you, though. Thank you so much for this delightful (both, to watch & hear; your voice is welcoming & enjoyable) tutorial on learning the art of pearl knotting. I'm feeling most fortunate that your video popped into my feed. I truly think I got the best instructor possible as this is my first video on the subject. I'm so excited to get my pearls spiffed-up. Along with my rock crystal stones, too. Perhaps, I owe a thank you to The Royal Family, too?
I love wearing pearls more than anything else I own. I’ve purchased so many of these beautiful baroque ones, hoping to make necklaces, bracelets, etc., and never could. Watched videos over the years to no avail.. NOW? I’m doing this tomorrow, and I thank you! So professional looking and you are the maestro of teaching it! ❤❤❤
The video is very accessible to someone like me - who knows just enough to jump in confidently and then make a big mess. I will no longer make a mess. Loved the math part also since I knew there was a problem with my two-strand bracelets not sitting "right," but I wasn't knowledgeable enough to fix it.
This is hands down the best video I have seen on this subject. You are an excellent instructor, and you assume nothing so that the most novice beader can easily follow without being intimidated. I love pearls, but broke my string a few years back. They're about to come out of hiding - thanks to you. I have subscribed to your channel and can't wait to check out more videos. Thank you!
You are a great teacher. You explained the process so simply. I love your method too. This is the first pearl knotting video that I've watched that I was crystal clear on how to do it myself. ~Thank you!
Yes! Brilliant explanation. My two daughters were each given pearl necklaces by their Grandmother after she had been on a family trip to Australia. My older daughter's one got snagged and broke about midway along and has been languishing in its box for years - Grannie died about 6 years ago so it means a lot but the estimates she was getting from jewellers were ridiculous. Armed with your video I got stuck in and the necklace is now back together and a bit longer as she wanted it to hang lower. We aimed for 55cms but forgot to allow for knots and clasp so it's 60cms when laid out - those knots add a surprising amount to the length! As it was I managed to nearly run out of the 2m long thread at the needle end but just about managed. Managed to mangle the French wire at the closing end on the first attempt but got there in the end. I was using a size 2 needle and thread and the wire needle does get a bit gnarly as you go along - some of the original pearls (which are in the middle of the necklace, the new ones are at either end) had smaller holes and it was quite a tight fit. In the end I found that if I just got the tip of the needle in the hole and held it alongside the thread I could gentle push the pearl along the needle instead of pushing the needle through the pearl. My daughter is coming to stay at the weekend - I think I'll casually leave the necklace in its box on her bed and see how long it takes for her to notice it. Thanks for all your help, couldn't have done it without you. Be safe!
Thks so much for this excellent tutorial!! I can finally re-strand my Grandmother’s pearls that broke during my wedding reception 31 hrs ago! I will be able to pass them down to my daughter now!! 🤗💓
Thats the best pearl knotting method and tutorial ive seen on youtube, im inspired to knot my pearls again today after my abortive method a few weeks ago, fantastic, thanks!!
You are a fantastic instructor. The method of knotting is precise and easy to accomplish. Love how you used the French wire on the clasp. Gave the bracelet a finished and elegant look. Thank you for sharing your expertise. 👍🏅
I think yours is my favorite tutorial on this, thank you so much. It's also worth saying that you can pre-stretch the silk cord so it doesn't sag over time, or get it wet and hang it with weights and leave it overnight to dry. :)
My hat's off to you! I'm a beginner at making jewelry & due to your teaching ability, I am truly inspired and motivated. This is EXACTLY what I needed!❤
This is one of the best or maybe the Best instructional video I’ve seen. You take your time and explain very clearly. Thank you. I will finally try to make a pearl necklace that my daughter has asked for.
My son asked that I restring an 18-inch necklace for his partner. Years have past since I have strung beads with knots. I'm so happy/glad to have found you. Your instructions are perfectly clear. I especially loved the sections of your video that illustrate how to wrap the thread around your fingers to tie the knots, Cheers!
This was the best knotting tutorial i have ever seen. I am so excited! I can now fix the beaded necklaces and bracelets that were my dear departed mother's. No soecial tools required. Just your fingers and patience. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This is an amazing tutorial!! I just finished re-stringing a broken necklace for my granddaughter, and it turned out great. Thank you so much for your excellent video, and your in-depth descriptions and explanations on how to do all of the beading and knotting. Even with my "fat fingers" I was able to put her necklace back together, and I can't wait to return it to her. Thank you!!
I know this is an older video, but damn! It’s the perfect tutorial!!! My complements to Bead Spider for your extremely thorough explanation, with a lovely soothing voice! You’ve completely switched me to this method versus the tool! So much more “zen” to make, and a wildly huge improvement in structure, strength, and flexibility! I am of course using silk, yet if possible you’re still paying attention to this thread, or anyone that sees this with an answer! I love doing extremely long knotted projects with faceted small mm gemstones or rounds, yet with this method I assume I must just use the spool silk and follow the same steps, yet how would I best judge how much silk that I would use? Double or maybe triple the length of the beads on the hank, or the pattern I’ve chosen! Again many thanks for this fabulous lesson in proper knotting!
Outstanding tutorial!! Thank you so much! I have a few pearl necklaces to restring and when I checked the prices with jewellers in town... I was shocked! I've watched your tutorial twice, I've just finished a pearl and silver beads bracelet and it's gorgeous!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤❤❤
I just found this video, but I love it! What an wady way to follow, I can't wait to try it. Thank you soooo much for such a detailed explanation 😊👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I've just read all the other rave reviews and i must add mine as well. Great tutorial, you don't assume or hurry through the steps. Love your voice also! Thank you so much!
Very good tutorial. I'm learning how to string knot pearls and this helped much. Thank you 😊. I also created a private Playlist to watch this multiple times when doing Pearl strand projects. It'sa very good, straightforward technique and I really liked it.
Thank you so much. I just knotted my very first baroque pearl necklace today while following your detailed instructions. From you, I learnt to be very careful and patient. So grateful!
Wow …. After years of making bracelets, seeing countless tutorials, it truly amazes me when I see something entirely new and different. I love it and it looks finished, polished and clean lines.
You are an excellent teacher. You know how to highlight important details that other teachers would not explain. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.
Many thanks for this very detailed and clear tutorial. I just finished stringing amethyst beads I bought several years ago. Just waiting for the glue to dry before trimming the thread. You are an excellent teacher. Best wishes.
Thank you so much for the time explaining step by step how to do this. I was able to fix my broken pearl bracelet. Your hands brough me memories of my mom's hands.
She's right about why it's a good idea to knot the pearls. That's basically how I used to make my knots with necklaces and bracelets, although I didn't make the loop like you did. I always had spare needles on hand in case I bent them up or dropped one (very hard to find in a carpet). That's about the only type of needle that will fit through the holes of real pearls. It's been awhile. I used to sell them in gift shops years ago. I still have lots of supplies, but have been considering selling them off. Too many hobbies haha.
Thanks for this tutorial! You explained everything so clearly and gave a lot of little tips to have an easier time even when being just a beginner. Now I feel comfortable tackling my next bead project
An absoolutely beautifully done tutorial, Thank you. I have once or twice wrestled with knotting years ago, and because it was so wretched, it has been years. This excellent tutorial has given me hope of finally stringing those pearls I bought so long ago.
Brilliant tutorial! So pleased to learn how many beads are needed when using more than one strand. I just need to get some French wire and appropriate thread for the size of holes. Soon, I will be able to return the two broken pearl necklaces to my friend - she will be so pleased as she has not been able to wear them for some time. Thank you so much for sharing your talent, much appreciated. ☺
I was given pearls as a child from my grandfather. I wore them until all the clasps failed. Somehow I've hung onto them for years. Using your video I've restrung them and discovered they are not pearls at all!!! They are just plastic beads, but they look lovely and they have new life. I've ordered a lot of authentic peals to make Christmas gifts. Thank you for the easy to follow, detailed video. I've watched multiple videos and tried to follow. Your method and instruction is by far the best. THANK YOU!!!!!
