Omg this is my life in a nutshell. Everything is last-minute and I’ve literally made a necklace while my husband sat in the car texting me “AIS LADY!” (Means A$$ In Seat lol). I love this video’s premise so much ❤
ETA: Just remembered I was also dressed in a 50’s style swing dress lol. Those 1950s, I tell ya….
Ha ha, so funny. I haven't heard that before but I love it! Obviously our 1950s selves can take our time or maybe leave things until the last minute. Thank you so much for your comment. Merry Christmas. Carol
I appreciate that you show your mistakes as well as your perfection. We all need to learn the bad and the good! Love the blue heart! Thanks fo4 all your teaching!
Thank you so much, Jill. I do think it's important to show when things go wrong and how to fix them so you can learn from my mistakes.
Oh Carol, you are so wonderful!! I’m not the kind to wait until the last minute, but with this project I know it’s possible! It looks amazing! The blue heat just made the outfit! Thank you for adding in your mistakes so we are all not perfect! 19:08 Charisse
Thank you so much, Charisse. I'm not usually the last minute kind of person either but I've been so busy lately. I'm glad you enjoyed this one and, no, I'm by no means perfect. I make lots of screw ups and things go wrong for me just like everybody else. Anyone who tells you they don't is lying. Lol.
Always a pleasure to watch you and I’m so delighted to know that I’m not the only one that has an oh my God moment. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Joyce. I'm glad you could identify with the issue - it's not the first time something like this has happened and I'm sure it probably won't be the last.
I’m so happy I found your channel. It’s been like 10 years since I’ve made my own jewelry. I love watching your videos, so much knowledge and patience going through it all. Both of the fifties necklaces are beautiful, I’m more partial to the red (my favorite color) 😊 Please continue with these awesome videos and designs. Thank you 😁
You are so welcome! Thank you.
I love when u show your mistakes and how u fix them. Very pretty necklace. Hope u had fun. The theme of the party sounds like so much fun.
Thank you so much, Valerie. I do try to show when things go wrong so you know you're not alone when this type of thing happens to you. Yes, had fun at the party.
The blue is best!
Thank you, Andzia. I really liked the blue one best too.
I appreciate the time you took to show all of these techniques. I loved them. Will help me make jewelry look more professional.
Thank you so much, Barbara.
I love yr videos, because of you I can now do my single loop & wrapped loops easy, so Thankyou fir being a great teacher, I was a ble to teach my 17 yr old Daughter properly now, you are so clear & precise, yr a gem, I watch another lady too, but yr way better ❤❤😊
Aw, thank you so much for saying that. I really appreciate it. I'm glad that I was able to help you, and that you're passing it onto your daughter. That's actually how I started too, with my daughter. Merry Christmas.
Carol, thank you. I learned so much from just one video, can’t wait to get reacquainted with the tools I have and maybe getting some better ones. Just knowing the right words - French wire, magic beads ? etc. helps me feel more confident in buying supplies and getting started.
Glad it was helpful Lesley. Thank you so much.
I am literally laughing! You MUST be my ‘sister from another mister’! Except for one tiny difference… Yes, I’ve made a piece to wear at the very last minute! Yes, I have been finishing up apresent as we drove down the freeway to a birthday party! Yes, I’ve had my ‘foolproof’ pieces fail and ‘fooled me’! But NEVER once have I ever been 1/10th as calm, cool or collected as you are! At the end of the, your little yelp of dismay as the necklace came apart is priceless! You are as cool as a cucumber and as smooth as a baby’s behind not to loose it! And on a video! I think someone might have heard a little different language from me! Your classy! And your design is also. It looks so great and could be made with many beads in a number of styles, very flexible. Thank you for another great video! Yep, we’re the same, except you’re cool.
Your comment had me chuckling away. Little bit of a confession - this was actually a re-enactment of the day. I wasn't too stressed about the clasp breaking though. This happens and I still had time to fix it - after all it took me literally 2 minutes. Thank you so much for sharing your experience too. Merry Christmas.
Very beautiful! I appreciate how you show us what happened and also how you fixed it! Love that shade of blue! You look lovely for your party!
Thank you so much, Susan. I'm glad you stuck around for the fix.
Your videos are always great. Thank you, Carol.
Thank you so much. Merry Christmas, Susan.
Hi Carol - your videos are awesome. Definitely the blue heart.☺. I also love the necklaces you're wearing so I'll be visiting those videos as well. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing talents. 😍
Thank you so much, Maria. I do love the blue too although the red is also nice - I really can't make up my mind!
Gorgeous choker! Love both red and blue. Thanks for the pro tip on connecting to jump rings instead directly on clasp. Makes soooo much sense! Merry Christmas! ❤
Thank you so much, Kathy. I don't know why I hadn't thought of that before. I've attached a clasp straight on the tiger tail so many times. I'll never do it again. Merry Christmas.
I never knew how to use french wire. Excellent information, thank you so much!.
Thank you so much. Glad it was helpful.
Thanks again Carol for a great video - esp as I love pearls
Thank you so much, Linda. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas Carol!
I am starting jewelry making in the New Year. You Rock.
Merry Christmas, Brenda. That's such great news. Let me know how you go and if I can help with anything.
I have been making all stretch bracelets - I am a beginner. I’m ready to take on a necklace. I’ve been looking for a doable, clear tutorial and relatively simple necklace and I think this is it! But I will look for either a red heart of a black flower bead as the focus. :) loving this channel and Carol you have the most soothing voice! Love!
Aw, thank you so much, Colleen. I've got lots of other easy stringing necklaces on the channel too.
LOVE that BLUE. Love your tutorials
Thank you so much, Gloria. Merry Christmas.
Thank you for sharing. So beautiful.
You're welcome. Thank you.
can´t decide I like them both, and the one you´re wearing is stunning
Thank you. Yes, I liked them both too.
What a beautiful choker, Carol! Thanks for all the helpful tips you give.
Thank you so much, Dee. Merry Christmas.
@@The_Stylish_Maker Merry Christmas to you!
I just love all the tips you give to help in our jewellery making. I so appreciate it. I am, more or less, a self taught 'beader' apart from several workshops pre Covid. These tips are invaluable, thank you Carol. Wishing you a very Happy Christmas :)
Thank you so much, Charlotte. I really appreciate that. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Your write up on this video is hilarious!
Thank you, Marjorie. I can't actually take credit for that - it was Andy (husband) who did it. Merry Christmas.
Love pearls, love the necklace. The blue pops and its so flattering. Love, love, love. You rock.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed this one. You are too kind. Merry Christmas.
I like very much the way that you explain the things!
Glad to hear that! Thank you.
So elegant, thank you 😊.
Thank you Sandra.
Glad it was an easy fix!
Thank you, Libby. I'm so pleased that I added those jump rings, otherwise I might have just sat down and cried. Merry Christmas.
Yes, 💙 tyfs
You're welcome. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year …thanks so much for the advice & inspiration! Love all the beautiful pieces you have created!
Thank you so much Anna. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you also. I hope it's awesome.
Great video. Beautiful piece. ❤
Thank you so much, Rhonda. Merry Christmas.
I ❤ this
Thank you. Merry Christmas.
I love your clear explenation
Thank you so much, Chana. I really appreciate that.
Very nice!
Thank you, Sharon. Merry Christmas.
So beautiful Carol! Thank you so much for sharing this lovely design.
Thank you so much, Cathy. I'm glad you liked this one. Merry Christmas.
Thank you for this fantastic tutorial, again I learned so much. And I think, I make this necklace for myself for the new year :)
I like both hearts, the red one and the blue.
Merry christmas everybody!
Thank you so much. If you are on social media, share the necklace once you've made it and tag me. I'd love to see it. Merry Christmas.
Beautiful! And I like the blue. Pearls. Water. Blue. Just seems to go together. When you were using your magical crimping tool, did he French wire get squooshed a bit?
That's a great question, Deborah. Thank you. It didn't. You need to leave just a tiny bit of space to get in there with your crimper. I an always surprised at how well this works. Merry Christmas.
I love the blue pendant. Is there a way that, that pendant can be detachable? So you can change it with different types of pendant and colour to match your dress? Attach a clasp maybe that you can open an and close.
Hi Alicia, that's a great question. You would need to add a jump ring I think. It's a bit tight in there to be putting a clasp on and off. You could also do it the way I made this necklace with a toggle clasp. ua-cam.com/video/EvC3mSb1QjM/v-deo.htmlsi=SfI7bb8i6V-ol93z
The jump rings are a great safety measure, thanks for sharing that! But I do wonder why you chose to add the four additional jump rings instead of say another pearl to each strand? I’m not judging, just curious. Thank you!
I added another jump ring instead of adding another pearl because that would have meant restringing both strands of the necklace I didn't have time.
Thank you, enjoy your videos. The red is nice but the blue pops with the pearls, in my opinion. 🙂. Could you tell what brand of round nose pliers you use? Thanks!
Thank you so much. I agree that the blue was better. The pliers are the Casual Comfort Pliers from Beadsmith. They are really lovely to use.

Thank you and Joyous Christmas to you and family. @@The_Stylish_Maker
Blue by far the better of the two. ALS, I thought you twisted the strands of beads
Thank you Liane. I liked the blue too. Nope, not twisted strands. Lol. Merry Christmas.
I wanted bead stoppers and one flush cutter like the one you have with you. How do I order please tell me ma'am.

How can I get this jewelry
Hi, this is a tutorial on how to make the necklace. I don't have this one for sale. It's much easier to make than you would think if you would like to give it a try.
Oh dear what happened in the end? You looked startled, but the choker is beautiful!
You need to watch until the end so you can find out.
Really enjoyed this one! I love the blue as well.
Thank you so much. Merry Christmas@@czeidman8908
I did watch to the end and i noticed there was a twist in the necklace? Was it a disaster or was it a design idea?@@The_Stylish_Maker
Thanks Patricia. There actually wasn't a twist, it's just how it was sitting. Did you not see what happened to the clasp?@@patmonteiro3139
