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.

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!

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.

That bracelet is beyond GORGEOUS!!!! VERY classy & elegant!!!!

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. :)

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 :-)

Just finished my first Capricho bracelet and it's wonderful. Your instructions are very good. Easy to follow. Thank you for posting this tutoial.

This is a great tutorial - I love the fast pace and the pictures. I look forward to finishing up my bracelet!

@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

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.

you are right I have seen them done with simple pearls for instance and it atill loks great.

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!!!!

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 :-)

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.

Stunning! Thank you for being so generous with your time and knowledge.

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 :-)

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 :-)

Loving the fact you don't give up Paula :-) Happy new years. :-)

Beautiful! I love how it curves!

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.

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!!!!!

Can't wait to try this!! This is BEAUTIFUL!!

You're welcome... hope to have the video version up soon also on my beginners channel :-)

Your videos are not at all complicated to follow. Glad I found it!

This is a simply stunning bracelet Gianna!! Well worth the time and effort put in to make it. Many thanks for your wonderful tutorials :) :)

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 :-)

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.

Absolutely gorgeous.

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

I watch and watch this ... adorable ... plucking up the courage to try it .... Thank you .

Going to make this, soooo gorgeous!!!

Hé bedankt zeg, voor al je video's! Ik ben er blij mee!

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.

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

I did this in black and it's stunning!

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.

love it,its gorgeous!

yes you can also watch full screen that helps too :-)

Just stunning!

Thanks for such a quick reply on this easter Sunday. Have a lovely day x

The projects looked awesome with crappy plastic beads and I was soon getting friends that wanted to buy them, so I made a little money and I figured if they look this good with crappy beads, the would be stunning with real Swarovski's so I started to buy them on ebay, redid some of the project and started seeing that some things would even look better if I would just adjust some things in the book patterns. I called it "perfectionizing" and here we are today, 9 years later :-)

this looks so pretty :) can't wait to try it

HI YOUR TUTORIALS ARE AWESOME THANK YOU FOR SHARING THEM WITH US THE BRACELET IS BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so cute! i made a slightly different syle but i used the same steps, Thanks for the help!

@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

I really like this bracelet & always up for a challenge! Can't wait to have a go at making it! :)

Beautiful, wondering if I have the patience to do it. Thank you for sharing with us.

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 :-)

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! :)

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 :-)

acabo de ver el tutorial y me gusta mucho....voy a tratar de hacerlo...

hi Art, underneath the video in the description area is the link to the video / talk through footage

I've watched both tuts on this bracelet, I am going to try to follow this one, I just love the intro and entrance exam :-)

I think I may have just scraped through!! I'll let you know if I ever finish this bracelet x x

Thanks for your nice video and the clear instruction.

Happy New Year, Just finished the skeleton part of bangle, just have the crystals to put in, will let you know as soon as done x

I am going to try it I hope I can do it. I have done others before but I really like this bracelet

beautiful bracelet really perfect, thanks

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?).

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

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

Hartelijk dank voor deze duidelijke uitleg.

Looooove it :) So beautiful, thanks for sharing .

oh thats really really beautiful..

yes Jose I buy bulk, packs of 1140 swarovkis 4mm round AB

Esta hermosa la pulsera gracias por compartir tus creaciones

I so agree Jo :-)

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 ;-)

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 :-)

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 :-)

Its great..Lovely...georgious.....Lot of thanks for your tutorial....!!!

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 ...

@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 :-)

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,

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

I can't believe this was your first tute!! It's really good and I've always wanted to make the Capriccio since I first saw it .. so I'm going to do this one using Presciosa Bicones in Hematite ABx2 (Grey-Black ABx2) and same color seeds .. Black-grey goes with everything! I'm wondering if Nymo D will work .. I usually stitch through every crystal I use to embellish a seed bead base at least twice, so I hope that stitching through 2 or 3 times on this one will make it extra strong, stiffen it well, and ensure that crystals don't cut my thread? I don't mind the extra time and effort for the triple pass. I've done a few flat RAW-base bracelets this way, and I keep going til all of my holes are filled with thread ... you can really feel the quality in the work so the time and effort and knots from working with super-long lengths of thread are all worth it : ) PATIENCE ISN'T A VIRTUE -- IT'S A NECESSARY ESSENTIAL !!!

beautiful

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 :-)

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

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!

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.

I don't mind giving people a smile on their face when they are beading. :-)

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.

Thanks alot! :D Much easier to know how much I (aproximately) must order, so I don't have to wait in the middle of the project. Gonna order 500 or more, so I know I have them at home :) Thanks again! The bracelet is awesome! :D

Well isn't my face red! lol! 8^D I guess that would be a bit much to ask, I had no idea you did so much! I can't even keep up with one FB page and a blog, don't know how you do all you do! Don't skimp on your sleep dear, sounds like you need it! :) Thank you for all you do!

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 :-)

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.

imposible captar de esa forma para mi. debo ver el paso a paso.....

Sorry Moosie, I didn't see my notification of your reply. Yes, I would use Fireline for the whole project. Blessings!

inexpensive beads are great to. Not everyone will be able to afford the real thing, so making both is not such a bad plan :-)

You are the best. Thank you. Gracias

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?

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. :-)

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

@browneyes124337 I am working on it, I hope to have the beginners tutorial up tomorrow :-)

Thank you very much, very helpful x

you're welcome, I just love to bead :-) And to share along the way :-)

OMG!! this looks awesome.....I'm gonna try this definetely.....thanks a tone for that tutorial...can we make a necklace of this....!!

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

an;d you're not a pain, that's what I'm here for, but right now I need to go to bed cause I have to be at work in 8 hours ;-)
