I don't know if you are cycling through some older tutorials but I am so excited about this bracelet. I want to try different sizes in the rounds and try for earrings too. Kudos to the designer.

I love the pattern and it came out lovely, but I didn't like the way it was finished using one of the bead pockets with the loop, so I just added a small clasp.
I HAVE to make this one. Looks easy. I do have a question though, in the beginning, it showed 8 mm pearls; you are using 6 mm. Does it matter which one you use?
+Francine Deneault all projects get started with about 3-4 feet of thread, then we just add on as more is required. See this video for adding on: ua-cam.com/video/BmjC1m4ghGc/v-deo.html
I have another question. She never states how long of a tail to leave in the beginning or if it is suppose to be knotted or if she uses a stopper bead. And how does she get the zig zag? I am doing it as she goes along and mine isn't zig sagging.
+Diana Wagner We always start projects with about 4 feet of thread, then just add on as needed. Every project varies, particularly given the variance in people's wrist/neck sizes. Here is a tutorial that shows how to add on: ua-cam.com/video/BmjC1m4ghGc/v-deo.html The zig zag question is answered in one of the other comments: "On every loop that you make in the base, alternate the second created ladder stitch. First loop go over, second under and so on.."
In this video are you using 8mm or 6mm pearl. You said in the beginning that you were using 8mm but in the video you refer to putting 6mm. Is it 8 or 6?
+Potomac Bead Company well she should be more clear that she using 8mm not 6mm. No offense but she's not that great an instructor beautiful work but........Allie is more clear.
I don't know if anyone has done this and traded out 6MM's for the 8's but wondering if its just a matter of removing one of the single beads and one set of the ladder stitch to downsize it to work for 6's.
+The Anti-Social Hunter/Lady Dark Shade Not sure without trying it, but let us know how you make out. We often don't have time to make different variations on each design with so many other patterns/tutorials in the queue.
well..., I've been beading for over 10 years..., and have tried doing this pattern 3 times..., I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I cannot get the hang of it...., need to "walk away" from it and try later...., Grrrrrr.....
+sassejanify Is your UA-cam volume and computer volume all the way up? I just tested it on both a laptop and a smart phone and had no problems hearing.
my volume is up full, I do have a hearing problem, but some videos just have more volume and I don't have a problem, your voice is alittle soft, so I guess the problem is mine. Thanks
Thanks for sharing. Absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful.
Que preciosa le quedó la voy a elaborar felicidades por su creatividad y bien explicado

Our pleasure Connie. Hoping you will also share your projects with us.
Potomac Bead Company I will do that!! Thanks for reply. Really. ✳️☯️💜☮️✌️🙏❇️
Very pretty. And so easy to do , or so it seems. TFS
I love wire wrapping but have yet to try beading. This tutorial actually inspires me to try beading! Not to intimidating! Thank you! :)
+Cathijudd21 Great, and you are welcome. That is often how people's beading skills progress from basic beading to wire to beadweaving.
it's even pretty without the beads inside. looks like crosses or x's. Great video as always. thanks again!
Love it! Just make it in gold and cream.
nice concept something different to look forward to making thanks so much
What size seed beads are you using
bellisimo,boy intentar hacerlo
its just amazing
wonderful!
love it! Can you please confirm the bead sizes again, if possible :) thanks a bunch

I want to try this. Can the seed beads be all one color?
Yes, absolutely!
I love the pattern and it came out lovely, but I didn't like the way it was finished using one of the bead pockets with the loop, so I just added a small clasp.
The "chain" makes a good bracelet without the beads, or so it seems to me. I think it looks really nice "bare".
I HAVE to make this one. Looks easy. I do have a question though, in the beginning, it showed 8 mm pearls; you are using 6 mm. Does it matter which one you use?
+Diana Wagner She used 8mm the whole time, and just a few times accidentally said 6mm.
Thank you for the clarification
very nice! could you please tel me how long is your tread for complete the project? TY!
+Francine Deneault all projects get started with about 3-4 feet of thread, then we just add on as more is required. See this video for adding on:

Thank you! very handy tip! :o)
You talk about using 6 mm beads and 8 mm beads. Do you know which you used? Thank you.
She used 8mm
I have another question. She never states how long of a tail to leave in the beginning or if it is suppose to be knotted or if she uses a stopper bead. And how does she get the zig zag? I am doing it as she goes along and mine isn't zig sagging.

@@Potomacbeadco I had to add thread twice, which was fine. this pattern just uses lots of thread.
If i were to make these with a 6mm bead could i use 15/0 sead beads?
*seed beads
+Eufi Mercedes probably, but you will just have to experiment to test.

In this video are you using 8mm or 6mm pearl. You said in the beginning that you were using 8mm but in the video you refer to putting 6mm. Is it 8 or 6?
+enelyag s it is 8mm, as shown in the description.
+Potomac Bead Company well she should be more clear that she using 8mm not 6mm. No offense but she's not that great an instructor beautiful work but........Allie is more clear.
I don't know if anyone has done this and traded out 6MM's for the 8's but wondering if its just a matter of removing one of the single beads and one set of the ladder stitch to downsize it to work for 6's.
+The Anti-Social Hunter/Lady Dark Shade Not sure without trying it, but let us know how you make out. We often don't have time to make different variations on each design with so many other patterns/tutorials in the queue.
You probably can use 6mm's. Trade the 11/0 seed beads for 15/0's. Good luck.
Is there a trick that I am missing. I can't seen to get that zig zag pattern in my base? HELP!!
+enelyag s I am also having trouble getting the zig zag in the top as she showed. What is the trick??
+enelyag s On every loop that you make in the base, alternate the second created ladder stitch. First loop go over, second under and so on..
+Potomac Bead Company Thank you
well..., I've been beading for over 10 years..., and have tried doing this pattern 3 times..., I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I cannot get the hang of it...., need to "walk away" from it and try later...., Grrrrrr.....

your voice isn't loud enough, more volume please
+sassejanify Is your UA-cam volume and computer volume all the way up? I just tested it on both a laptop and a smart phone and had no problems hearing.
my volume is up full, I do have a hearing problem, but some videos just have more volume and I don't have a problem, your voice is alittle soft, so I guess the problem is mine. Thanks
+Potomac Bead Company you tube volume? U mean just below the video? If yes then yes it is.
Sorry that is as loud as we can make it.
pretty bracelet, but nearly impossible to get past the voice fry.
Thank you so much :)
