I have those exact same clips. I also use mini clothes pins, those little metal "clicky barrettes ", and metal alligator paper clips to hold my string. You chose beautiful color combos,I may borrow them. I enjoy making these bracelets and donating them to little kids in the hospital. This is a great video, thank you for sharing!
Beadalon makes these really thin big-eye needles made by basically twisting really thin wire together but with a big needle eye. They work great with 0.5mm elastic and will still go through an 11/0 size seed bead. FYI.
Tying is the most important step…so glad you showed that! This type of cord is silicone and unlike plastic, it cannot be sealed by burning the ends. I just finished a bracelet on leather laces, also .5mm, but found this packet of seeds and have the stetchy cord so I will be working on this bracelet. Thanx…
What a beautiful nail colour u are wearing... 😍 I really love these type of bracelet and I make it too with stretch thread and nilon thread but stretch are best...
I’m starting to get into making seed bead bracelets. This was helpful. I like to add letters to my bracelets too. I always make bracelets for my boyfriend but they come apart easily & this was helpful 😁 I need to buy .5mm string tho
if you want to know how to know how to put an elastic through a needle, you can just tie a piece of thred onto one of the ends, get it through, and pull really hard :)
So I'm pretty sure they stopped selling it, which made me sad, but I've started using this elastic string (I'll add a link so you can see it) and it has actually worked really well for me for seed bead bracelets so far. I would also try looking at craft stores, usually the stuff they have is pretty good quality. :) www.amazon.com/Amaney-Elastic-Stretchy-Bracelet-Crystal/dp/B07S1SL3BW/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?dchild=1&keywords=5mm+elastic+string+for+bracelets&qid=1609903421&sprefix=.5+mm+elasti&sr=8-13
I didn't see you pre-stretch the elastic string. I thought you were supposed to do this to strengthen it and so that it wouldn't stretch out after multiple wears. Can you clarify? Thanks!
It's just a mini paint pallette that I found in the craft section of walmart :) It came with a pack of 4 and I love mine and use them for everything! I'd assume you could find them at any craft store as well. Thanks for watching my video! :)
Any recommendations on how to hide the know your 11mm seed beads and 0.5 mm stretchy cord? I find that I cannot squish the know through the hole of the bead and so am left with a kink on the bracelet.
That's why I like to add a dot of superglue to the knot when I'm finished tying it before I cut the excess off. Mine have never come apart when I do it this way!
I’m so sorry I never answered this! I have been trying out different elastic string brands but I find that as long as i get a thinner elastic string the knot will stay without glue. If you use thicker elastic you want super glue! Sorry again for the late response
@@KennasDaisies thank you.! This is helpful. I do have a thin elastic string I think it’s 2mm & the knot still doesn’t stay so I bought jewelry super glue but I haven’t tried using it on the knot.
I will try to come up with a solution and I'll let you know! If you can find a bead to put over it that always works well but it will probably need to be a bigger size
Don't squeeze the beads so hard, and the more you do it the less it should hurt. Sorry about my slow response, I've had a really busy time with graduation, but I hope your hands have stopped hurting so much 🥰
girl i just followed your tutorial step by step and the second i tied it on the bitch broke and all the beads fell off!! i put so many knots in and my shit still broke
Making seed bead bracelets have become one of my hobbies. It makes me happy in a way :)
I'm so glad! I really enjoy it
@@KennasDaisies do we have to knot it like that or can we do just like 4 knots to make it stay? :)
OMGG THANK YOU FOR THE TUTORIAL ITS RLLY HELPFUL ESPECIALLY IN TYING PART 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great tutorial

Where can I get the elastic string you used? I've seen some others, but they did not have great reviews.
So I'm pretty sure they stopped selling it, which made me sad, but I've started using this elastic string (I'll add a link so you can see it) and it has actually worked really well for me for seed bead bracelets so far.

Is the 11 size beads equivalent to a 2mm beads? (Great video
I am pretty sure. And thank you!! 🥰
Thankyou I always wonder how to tie it so its not noticeable and wont break
Did it work well for you? I'm glad ☺️
@@KennasDaisies didnt try yet I need to get thinner stretchy string
What size seed beads are you using ? Love your video and your nails !!
.7 mm :) Thank you so much!! You are so sweet
@@KennasDaisies Kenna, I cannot find that size on amazon i got .5mm elastic string
but i dont see that size seed bead ....Im sorry ...please help !lol
What nail polish is it? Love it.
Thank you so much! I actually just got it from the dollar store! :)
I didn't see you pre-stretch the elastic string. I thought you were supposed to do this to strengthen it and so that it wouldn't stretch out after multiple wears. Can you clarify? Thanks!
Where did you get the container at, that's holding your seed beads?
It's just a mini paint pallette that I found in the craft section of walmart :) It came with a pack of 4 and I love mine and use them for everything! I'd assume you could find them at any craft store as well. Thanks for watching my video! :)
Dollar tree sells them also

@@minn-nyoungyoon1683 hmm I’m not sure. I know that there are specific metal beads that clip over knots !
im kinda nervous about the knot. wont it come off easily?
That's why I like to add a dot of superglue to the knot when I'm finished tying it before I cut the excess off. Mine have never come apart when I do it this way!
Where did you get your beads from
I buy mine from Hobby Lobby, you can get them at almost any craft store and sometimes Walmart has them!
I also have a link in the description that tells you the exact beats I'm using :)
how do i keep my beads from fading?
It depends on what kind of beads you buy, or you can use clear nail polish to glaze your beads. That works better with bigger beads though :)
@@KennasDaisies can i use acrylic sealer?
That should work great!
What type of string do you use.?
I’m so sorry I never answered this! I have been trying out different elastic string brands but I find that as long as i get a thinner elastic string the knot will stay without glue. If you use thicker elastic you want super glue! Sorry again for the late response
@@KennasDaisies thank you.! This is helpful. I do have a thin elastic string I think it’s 2mm & the knot still doesn’t stay so I bought jewelry super glue but I haven’t tried using it on the knot.
What size of beads
3 mm
anyway to hide that knot?
I will try to come up with a solution and I'll let you know! If you can find a bead to put over it that always works well but it will probably need to be a bigger size
You could try a crimp cover - they come in small sizes.
I tried tying but the same way but it still came off :(
Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that! Try using more super glue and it should help.
How many seed bead you use to make a bracelet
@@joannefulk9610 it depends on the size, in these I used about 45
Am I the only one who’s hand starts hurting really bad while putting the beads on?? Does anyone have any tips to stop it from hurting
Don't squeeze the beads so hard, and the more you do it the less it should hurt. Sorry about my slow response, I've had a really busy time with graduation, but I hope your hands have stopped hurting so much 🥰
There are special bead needles that you can use the put the beads on. It much easier that way.
what is your mm beads
.7 mm :)
Same I have. But how many beads to count for to make bracelet
@@KennasDaisies you said in your other comment its 2mm?
@@RoroRoseD my bad!!! I thought it was .7 but it was 2 mm.
@@JoeGoldbergYOU836 I like to put them on and test it around my wrist as I go.
Is the knot hidden
I like to hide it under a bead
Can’t see how you tie elastic
Here, I made this short where it is hopefully a lot easier to understand! ua-cam.com/users/shortsDvB_9JFTUnc?feature=share
I can’t tie the dang knot 😭😭😭 beads keep getting in the way
I did it!!! 😂 complained way too early in my trials
@@ROSADO317 it can be so tricky but wahoo! Nicely done!
girl i just followed your tutorial step by step and the second i tied it on the bitch broke and all the beads fell off!! i put so many knots in and my shit still broke
Maybe try a different brand of elastic! Some hold knots better than others... I'm so sorry that yours broke!
what brand do you use?
