This is a fun pattern! Don't you hate how beads are such slippery lil creatures? Darn things take suicide leaps off my table all the time! haha

That is fantastic. You are a great teacher. Thank you so much for sharing. You rock!!!

Love love love your tutorials! My beads keep falling out! Driving me crazy but I will persevere! Thanks for all your great tutorials!

You have some of the most coolest ideas I never knew links could do so many different things. Awesome

Love this tutorial Yvonne!

Very pretty, love the use of glow in the dark bb’s, easy to understand tutorial. Thank you!

I have truly enjoyed learning chainmaille from you. You are a great teacher and I've been able to make some projects for gifts. I'm normally a bead and clay craft person and adding chainmaille has been really fun. Thank you.

Wow, this looks fantastic!!

I really like this a lot! Can't wait to try it with copper or gold-filled and Swarovskis.

I never would have thought of using bbs in this way. This is brilliant! I made a couple of test chains and was not happy with the little holes showing in the beads. It is also more difficult than I expect to find calibrated no-hole beads! Thank you so much for this video and the links to the materials. I found this very inspiring.

Your tutorials are pretty awesome thanks

Wonderful 😊. This is so pretty.

Loved this tutorial! 😊😊😊

I swear, I never knew that was chainmail, if it wasn't for the bead I've been doing that for ages with different coloured aluminium for the stuff I do for pets..like collars with a charm type thing...I use aluminium because it is so light...I don't know if you have ever seen the amount of pet bling thats in those pet shops...its got a whole aisle to itself. ..mine is more tasteful...lmao!...no mine just has an alternative twist and I use genuine semi precious (or even rough precious. ..like ruby and emerald) stones which cam either be linked to birthdays or the properties of the crystal in the healing, hedgewitchy manner). I like this one that you're doing with the beads though, its really pretty and, because I buy my stones pre-drilled, it never occurred to me to try that...nice one Yvonne you seem to have a knack of sending me off at tangents and, because of that I'm learning about things like working with leather, it all comes down to building more jewellery skills, I was limited before to using leather thongs for pendants but you have me planning a corset which is good...I may never sell a corset made by me but I'm happy having a bad-ass corset for me!..You're always an inspiration Yvonne and I thank you for that xx

Gracias, que simpatica y amable. Mucho éxito! Bendiciones.

Yvonne you are very clever I shall never forget you

It’s so so beautiful

Incredible

I love it !! It"s new for me . I hope can i do it.

I really need to get a pair of bent nosed pliers, I have multiples of the others and like needle nosed pliers and crimping pliers...you name it! I don't have bent nosed pliers and they look super useful, Thanks for reminding me and I am off to watch the tutorial but I am so rubbish at chain mail its about time I had a tutorial, of course I still don't rate my chances with the bracket but t am going to try! I hoope alls well with you and yours. xx

I found some of my old copper B.B. for the little lady. She is excited!!!!

Good tutorial!

Awesome pattern thank you

Hi Yvonne thank you so much for showing this chain and the ideas we can use it for. Every time l watch one of your videos l learn something new. Something l didn't even know that l didn't know. Hope that make sense. I hope you are feeling better take care love from Ann

I am so going to make this. Thank you.

Thank you

wow you helped me so much!

Very very good Thanks

Thank you darling

That looks awesome! I have never seen anything like it before. I'm definately trying this. Me when my husband asks where his bbs are, "I don't know." :P

I watched few of your videos. You have nice ideas.

Qué hermoso me gusta gracias bendiciones

Muy bonito tu trabajo me encanta 👍🤝

In the world of body piercing they call this style of ring a “CBR” or captive bead ring back in the late 90’s/00’s when they were a very popular jewelry choice. Nice vid thanks!

I think the"ring"of captive beads would be nice hanging off a Kumihimo bracelet! Also, I love the music in the background. Please tell me what it is.I really love your tutorials.Thank you kindly!

I figured what I do wrong ... Or at least one of the things I do wrong ... I am always trying to fit the biggest bead I can in the cage ... And it is usually a bicone shape ... Tanx Yvonne ... As you say we can use the tools we are comfortable with ... I use two square jaw or flat nose pliers ...

Very cool :)

Your question, ... Beadaholique did a Nov., 2012, video ...

❤hello thanks for this video

Superbe ,felicitation

You are Greta!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hi Von! This looks so pretty. I've also noticed recently that you don't use your chain nose pliers anymore. I was just wondering why that was?

I cannot tell you how much I enjoy your videos! You always explain everything so well and I always feel very confident when I sit down and try to recreate something I learned from you by your tutorials. I do have one question... Do you sell your jump rings by chance? I can never find a good enough quality when I try to purchase them. Thanks again for all you do! Hugs

l have watched you do this one a lot but today finally tried it and l got to make a little bracelet but l think now lam ready to get myself some jump rings and start doing more

Hey I would love to see how you make your chainmail links? Thanks so much!

You mentioned you make your own rings, where would you recommend getting the bright aluminum wire to do that?

grazie sei una brava insegnante e riesco a capire il tuo perfetto inglese

I have tried a couple times to check out your patreon page. Doesn't seem to be working. Maybe its just me? Thanks again for sharing. Great video.

Hi Yvonne may I ask ware did you get you're beads from please

Is there a way to tell if a particular bead will work or not work? Like, does the bead have to just barely fit through the jump ring?

Hi could you tell me what metal the rings are and size please I'm from uk love watching your work x

Nice work how do you keep it from changing colors please

Wow

I am having trouble finding all the different sizes. Are their several stores that you reccommend to actually get all the different sizes requested in books and with your tutorials?

Would love to see a finished product at the beginning of the tutorial so I can decide if it's something I want to try. Thanks!

Hi. I want to try doing 4mm beads with a 20g. Do you know what size rings that would fit? I really hope you can help me! Thanks.

The link you provided is this the jump rings that you use for this bracelet. I have some in 18g 1/4 and they are not working. They are a little too small

Can you show us a pictorial of how you actually coil and the cut your rings possibly?

A lettering tutorial would be great!!!

I would love to learn how to do chainmaille but for some reason i can not get it i am a beginner what can you suggest for me to do to be able to do chainmaille please get back to me is there a DVD to buy so i see better and learn by the way you are a great teacher thank you for your videos God blessings

I can't get the jump ring sizes right on this. what size should the jump rings be compared to the bead size?

Where do you get the rings? What gauge are they?

Hi There!!! Question, on this captive bead bracelet, do you find that some of these beads tend to fall out? I don't know how many I have made, an every one some of the beads fell off, I finally gave up on it, an I love this bracelet , it's beautiful.

Do you have a video showing how to make the rings?

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hello Ivonne I would like to know where on line can I purchase aluminum wires used for your beautiful jewelry. I like bright aluminum and different colors as well. Sometimes vendors don’t send packages to San Juan Puerto Rico. Laura Maldonado

Are you working with stainless steel here?

It's very hard finding beads. Do you know where I can find some

What size beads are these? I’m using 18g 1/4 rings, but the 6mm beads are too big

What size is the bead

If this is a 5-6 mm bead, what is the ID of the jump ring? What is the OD of the chain?

what size are the jump rings?

👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

Why do you make your own rings?

Do you no longer sale the jump rings yourself? The link above didn't work.

You make it look so easy!! Thanks for all of the great crafts that you share! I've been hunting for the right jump rings to do chainmail with. Figuring out the correct size and thickness can be confusing. The jump rings that I have found, (from Rio), and almost purchased are 18 ga 5 mm inside and 7.3 mm outside Sterling Silver. The pack contains 50 and is $11.89 and it looks like it will take anywhere from 115-150 depending on the size or style. This seems a bit expensive b/c if I'm going to make these to sell, the total for the materials can be ~$75 and I just want to find a jump ring that is durable, will sell, and that I can get the feel of working with to begin with. Can you please give me some advice? Thank you!!!

Hello can I have the list please cause it’s very complicated I’m french thanks so much

I tried to make this and used the beads that you have linked but my rings were 16 gauge ¼ inch. The rings and bead are very tight. Is that how it is supposed to be? Does the gauge make that much difference? I didn't think it would. Any suggestions? Should I try rings from a different retailer? Looking at your bracelet it is very flexible. Mine is like stiff... if I pick mine up it stays in a straight line.

What is your online business address? I love your products n want to order!

Hello

1/4 is id or od ?

1/4 didn't work for me tried 7/32 Bingo Blessings

I am crying... I bought the 1/4" rings from chainmaille Joe and some 6mm gemstone beads that I found on amazon and they don't fit in the capture... :( Is there another type of capture that I can use to make this work??
