    I have never considered this craft, but found myself totally mesmerized by your instructions. I do add a little beading for embellishment on some of my cross stitch projects, but I think I may try my hand at this. My husband says that I love anything shiny and sparkly and this fits the bill! I am going to look for some more videos and get a bracelet going. Many thanks.

    I really like this bracelet! I'm thinking adding another string of crystals from the same cube beads used for the first row here, but make them a little longer and make it an ankle bracelet. Super cute with a skirt or shorts. ❤😊

    Thank you so much for this video, i got the ladder stitch down i think but got confused at end when you started adding fringe. It looked as though you were at opposite end where you initially added the stop bead, thought i seen a tail thread. I am in spot ready to try fringe, i have stop bead/tail end on left end and my needle and thread at right end. Thought maybe i needed to be on same end as stop bead to do fringe?? sorry for long message.

    • @Potomacbeadco
      @Potomacbeadco  5 місяців тому

      It does not matter what end you start adding your fringe. As long as the first part - the ladder stitching the cubes - is complete, you are ready to add the fringe.

    The 3mm cube Myuki beading has been discontinued, original was items discontinued and brought back? I wasn't able to find information about when they were discontinued, just that they have been. What other beads do you sugg😮using in it's place? Maybe 8/0 Delica's? They would be round and not square, not sure what brands should be and should not be trusted. Other brands make a😮3mm cube, just unsure of the quality of the brand.

    This is very difficult to watch. It's monochrome. All you can see is her black finger nails and the color crystals. Try using a color background.
