Thank you! 😊
This was the most frustrating and confusing thing I've ever beaded and I've made many complicated projects throughout the years. I even followed the written instructions someone kindly left. The only time I finally got it right is when I used S-lon string with needles on both ends. It's a beautiful project, but from the comments I know I'm not the only frustrated person. Just wanted to leave my tip of using S-lon string and needles incase anyone wants to try that.
Thanks for your feedback, and for sharing your solution!
No offense I apologize there's a part that I keep looking at it over and over but your talking conjuses me I can't get it but its beauty question can you use different beads
Hi Carmen, yes you can use different beads for example pinch beads. Which part of the video are you having trouble with?
Love it 💗💗💗👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Shelly! 💕
it looks very nice 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it 💖
You wouldn't happen to have a pattern for this in writing, would you? We all learn differently and that would help me.
Hi Vicki, thanks for watching! At the moment, no we do not have any written patterns for this project.
@@EurekaCrystalBeads I've tried this and when you get to the point where you say..."let me catch up," you fail to explain all the steps, so I wasn't able to finish. It's very difficult to "know" exactly where to go back in video to repeat the steps. I would love to finish my 3D ball, but without the steps, I can't. PLEASE help.
I've written a rough writeup for the ball:

@@steph5630 THANK YOU so much!!! My poor ball is sitting in a mess of a pile right now. I had given up and was going to throw it out, but may just try and pick up from where I left off. I just want to be able to finish, as I was going to make these for Christmas gifts...too late now, but everyone has a birthday, too. When I get back to this, probably next summer, when it's warm enough to craft again, I will let you know how my story ends. :)
Adorable but I’m too confused to attempt it 😀
Which part can we clarify? It's mostly a lot of repetitive criss-crossing and it probably makes more sense once the beads are in front of you 😉
3D beading may seem confusing at first, but the steps are so repetitive that once you try it a couple of times, you will remember often how to make them
Hi - I have a question. I ended up with 7 bicones, rather than 5, at the 11:00 mark. I have taken my work down to the 3 flowers in hopes of correcting. At the 11:00 mark, how many completed flowers should be in the “basket” form?
Hi :) sorry for the late response, at the basket point, you should have used 25 crystals and have 5 left .. each “flower “ section should have 5 flowers hope this helps you .. Ill check back
What size pearl bead do you use?
About 10 or 12mm pearl for the inside will work perfectly!
Can I use fireline?
You could try try 10 lb fireline.. but monofilament or supplemax is better ☀️
Give it a try and report back! We'd love to know if/how well it works! 💕
val hirata ok I have never used monofilament or supplement. So what r they? R saying that fireline will break?
Oops I meant supplemax.
ASLBEADSMUSIC i like monofilament and supplemax because it has a flexible plastic feel to it and I don’t need a needle.
Try the fire line 8-10lb , you will need 2 beading needles .. let us know if it works for you 😊
How much cord do u suggest starting with?
Hi Sherilyn! Thanks for watching. You need about 1.5 yards of the supplemax for this project. 💕
I forgot to ask what size of Bicones and how many Bicones I need to buy?
Thanks for watching! You will need 30 bicones. All the sizes as well as colors are listed at the link in the description box. Or you can go here: www.eurekacrystalbeads.com/3d-crystal-ball-key-chain/
I love your idea, but I am a beginner and it is hard following you. Can you slow down and show more. Camera angles are not the best for a beginner. Sorry.
You might wanna stop the video after each step so you can follow along. I do that quite often.
At the bottom of he video, there is a settings button that looks like a reel. Click that and click "Playback Speed" and chose how slow you want the video to go. You can also stop it and go back to where you need to see it again. Hope this helps.
It's a tricky thing to balance a project video like this. If we slow down and show the steps over and over it can get really long and repetitive. Since it's a video the best suggestion is to replay the steps you're confused about before moving on (as some others have suggested). As far as the camera angle, we chose the top down view because this is the view you will have when you are doing it yourself! 💕
@@skeeterdebeaux-stibick7406 I didnt know that . Thanks , great
Skeeter DeBeaux-Stibick that’s cool I never knew that could be done
What is the size of the large bd? Thinking either a 10mm or 12mm?
It's 12mm but a 10mm would work also!
@@EurekaCrystalBeads Thank you for responding so fast. Like many starting beaders, it makes it easier to have all your materials gathered at once, trying to find a bead in the middle of the project can be annoying for some.
Oh it's the worst, I agree!!
@@mercedesc3123 she's a horrible instructor IMO!
Beautiful project but you talk more the making the ball confuse me
Hi Carmen, which part is confusing you?
When you go to do the steps on your own I get completely lost and I don’t end up with a “basket” to close…🤔
@@suzannebyron6034 I have no idea why she does that. If she's instructing beginners she should follow through the whole project.
