    I just watched two other videos before finding yours. One fumbled with the directions while the other did it so quickly that I was completely lost. You, within 2 minutes, simply explained it. ThANK YOU!!

    May I just say this is one of the best videos on a DIY I have seen here on UA-cam! Believe me, I'm horrible at following directions and they way how you explain it step by step makes me very confident that I can make these bracelets!! Mahalo Nui Loa and I look forward to seeing more videos!!

    I’ve watched some tutorials about making square nuts and can hardly follow their steps. You’ve explained it so clearly and in a well modulated voice that a beginner like me can easily follow. Thank you and God bless.

  • @elizsanz3972
    @elizsanz3972 3 роки тому

    the best explanation & visualis to accompany. I've seen other videos explain it, some with words and some without but they were either too fast or had too many words or none at all but this is actually the best video thank you. Keep this work in this format.

    This is the best tutorial I have seen on making this kind of bracelet with the sliding closure! I will be making these with embroidery floss. I am 41 and have a child size wrist. I usually have a hard time finding bracelets that fit me. You are the best for sharing this! Im saving it in my bracelet playlist. May God Bless You for sharing this tutorial with us. Thank you so much! You made my day with this video I have been wanting to make a bracelet like this.

    I honestly think you have one of the best DIY channels on youtube. Your videos look great and explain everything clearly. And for us beginners you make another video dedicated to the hard parts! You don't upload often, but the care and patience you have making your videos really shows! You can tell a lot of DIY videos these days are half-hearted by their quality. Yours are amazing! I hope you get more subscribers! You deserve it!

    This video was so great! You explained everything so clearly, and using the different strand colors definitely helped me figure out exactly how you were placing the strands for the knots.

However ur video was so simple amd helpful thank you. I managed to do the closer properly for once. B4 I would give up amd simply tie the braclet on permanently.
