It's true, and even with straightforward stringing projects adding a good solid clasp that fits seamlessly into the design can often take a surprising amount of work. Glad to hear these videos have been so helpful!

Thanks Susanne 💖

Thanks Ronda!

you all probably dont give a damn but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my login password. I would love any assistance you can give me!

@Karson Anderson Instablaster ;)

@Thiago Abram I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Thiago Abram it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much you really help me out :D

@Karson Anderson no problem :)

Hi Alyssa, glad you like these bracelets! Overall I'd say these technique we used for them are very versatile, you can use them with most single hole beads without much adjustment. Smaller beads might call for a smaller charm and clasp, but that's really a matter of taste. In these bracelets we use 8mm gemstone beads and 5mm spacer beads, so if you're interested in that spaced look I'd suggest starting with that ratio and use spacers that are around 2/3rds the size of your larger beads.

Thank you Barb! 💖

No, crimp covers are an optional aesthetic part of the design, you can absolutely leave them off if you prefer the look of the uncovered crimps.

We use .018 inch wire. This particular kit uses 49 strand wire in .018 inch. Here is a link to our .018" wire: beadaholique.com/search?type=product&q=.018%20Inch&_=pf&pf_st_availability=true

Discoloration with silver beads can either be caused by a thin silver platting wearing off and exposing the base metal, or by the silver tarnishing. Tarnish tends to look black on silver, so what you're describing sounds like beads that have lost their plating. If these new silver tone beads can be sanded roughly without exposing any brown then they probably aren't coated with silver and you shouldn't have to worry about them turning brown later. If they tarnish and turn dark you can try polishing them softly with a bit a dish soap.

Hi! You can use Opelon but it really depends on how smooth the gemstone bead holes are and how heavy the gemstones are. In some instances, gemstones can cut the opelon causing it to break or can be so heavy that they stretch out the cord.

@@beadaholique Oh okay, great thank you, definitely something to bear in mind then!

Here's the wire we use for them: beadaholique.com/products/beadalon-wire-standard-bright-49-strand-018-inch-30ft

Beadaholique thank you!

Hi! I just rewatched the video and I believe the designer was just showing variety of pliers in case people had one pair and not the other. Both types work well and either could be used. I hope this helps.

They are 5mm Heishi spacer beads. Here is a direct link: beadaholique.com/search?type=product&q=Heishi+Spacer+Beads+5mm+

Hi, we had to discontinue these kits recently since we're all out of those gemstones, but I can tell you about the wire. We used this 49 strand 0.18 inch beading wire: beadaholique.com/products/beadalon-wire-standard-bright-49-strand-018-inch-30ft

Yes you can. The cover is aesthetic. Just make sure that your crimp bead is large enough to secure your design.

@@beadaholique i see, thanks for your responses. I also got a stainless steel clasp, stainless steel jump rings and stainless steel crimp tubes. Though on my .45mm wire when i use the 2mm crimp tube it keeps breaking since its not made of brass or silver this time. What can i do? I really like the stainless steel looks

@@beadaholique is it okay for them to remain broken inside?

​@@aasimghani5553 Sorry you're having trouble with your crimping. I don't recommend leaving a broken crimp on the bracelet unless it's just a quick project with inexpensive beads, something you won't mind loosing when it comes apart later. Here are a few recommendations for next time though: Something that might help is using wire protectors, these can take some of the strain off of the crimp tube so that they don't break after crimping, and we have them in stainless steel: beadaholique.com/products/sterling-silver-wire-thread-protectors-loops-045-inch-10 And something else we definitely recommend is these Xuron crimp pliers. These are the best we've used when it comes to not breaking crimps, they have a V shaped indentation instead of the U you usually see, that make a better fit for the wire and doesn't crack the crimps as easily: beadaholique.com/products/xuron-4-in-1-crimping-pliers-works-on-1-2-and-3mm-crimps

The gemstones and wood beads are 8mm rounds, the spacers are these 5mm heishi beads: beadaholique.com/products/tierracast-bright-22k-gold-plated-lead-free-pewter-disk-heishi-spacer-beads-5mm-20

We use Beadalon 49 strand stainless steel in the .018 inch size in these kits for the best flexibility. The kits have pre-cut lengths and we also carry spools of it here: beadaholique.com/products/beadalon-wire-standard-bright-49-strand-018-inch-100-feet

Hi Kirsti, we use 2x2mm crimp tubes and 5mm crimp bead covers with these kits, you can see them here: beadaholique.com/products/crimp-beads-tube-2x2mm-100-pieces-silver-plated beadaholique.com/products/crimp-bead-covers-clamshell-5mm-50-pieces-silver-plated beadaholique.com/products/crimp-beads-tube-2x2mm-100-pieces-gold-plated beadaholique.com/products/crimp-bead-covers-clamshell-5mm-50-pieces-gold-plated

Probably yes. Beads should be fairly study when well made.

For this type of project, I would suggest a nice medium weight beading wire such as .015. Here are some choices. You can also do .018. beadaholique.com/collections/wire?_=pf&pf_t_style=0-Style%3ABeading%20Wire&pf_t_size=0-Size%3A.015%20Inch

Hello! You will need a cutter and crimping plier. Here are two good choices: beadaholique.com/products/standard-size-beading-crimping-pliers-for-2x2mm-2x1mm-crimp-beads and beadaholique.com/products/sharp-flush-cutter-pliers-for-cutting-beading-wire. Bead stoppers are also helpful beadaholique.com/products/bead-buddy-bead-bugs-bead-stoppers-combo-pack-mini-regular-1-pack

For standard necklaces we recommend 18-24 inches.

@@beadaholique I asked about the length of bracelets.

Ooops, you did forgive me. 7-7.5 inches is standard for a bracelet. I find slightly bigger 8-8.5 is actually safer if I'm looking to resell)

Hi! It's beading wire. Here is a link to the selection: beadaholique.com/collections/wire?_=pf&pf_t_style=0-Style%3ABeading%20Wire

I believe those wood beads were 6mm in size. We carry a handful of different styles in that size right now, though nothing in that light color unfortunately: beadaholique.com/collections/beads?_=pf&pf_t_material=0-Materials%3AWood&pf_t_size=0-Size%3A6mm

HI Vicki, sorry to hear about this issue with the kit. The measurements in the instructions should produce a bracelet of 7.75 inches, and we also include some extra beads to add a bit of length beyond that. It sounds like you may not have gotten enough beads. Can I ask you to get in touch with our customer service team? They'll be able to help figure out if you're missing any pieces and help you get a good fitting bracelet. You can reach them by email here: service@beadaholique.com Our team is also available by phone at 1-866-834-4618 Mondays - Fridays, 9AM - 5PM PT.

@@beadaholique just wonderind somone said with beading wire the higher the number the smaller the strand is that right if so why?like i have a .5 a .8 and a 1mm

@@starrspoter That person might have been talking about wire measured with the gauge system. With gauges the numbers go higher as the wire gets thinner. The millimeter measurements you mentioned are another way to measure wire thickness. A lot of people find it easier than the gauge system. Both measure the same thing and you can convert measurements from one to the other if you find any wire marked Ga instead of mm.

@@beadaholique sorry u lost me

what would be best for smaller beads and bigger ones?i had a beading needle and some would go in the beeds and some not and they were the same ones.some go through the beading needle till it get the end and the wire and stops like there is to thick
