This is really a game changer for bead crafters! The first time I tried this I was so excited until I realize that my needle was too fat for the bead hole😂😂 So anyone trying this, make sure your needle fits through the bead first!😁👍 To the person in the video, Thank You! for having such nice clean fingernails. Ive seen too many craft videos lately with close ups of dirty fingernails and it was so distracting and off-putting.
This is a great idea but kind of confusing. If the thick cord wouldn't go through the bead the first time, how does it go through the second time when the cord is doubled?
It’s because the end of the thick cord gets puffy and ragged. Something I’ve used in the past is to put glue on the end of the cord and elongate until it’s like a needle. When it’s dry, use it instead of a beading needle. This works on all kinds of thread.
@@geriyoungblood8500Yes, I do it like this too, mostly it'll work as long as the bead hole isn't too small off course. I would cut the end of the cord on an angle, then rub a small amount of glue just to keep the tip of the cord from fraying.
Thank you taking the time to make a video to show us this. Sharing is caring 😊. BTW- don't know how it works but it does, I have seen this from other artists. Have a great day
You are an absolute genius: I used to wear a Seraphinite beads bracelet but a few years ago the string snapped.. Such a beautiful and rare gemstone I kept thinking of a way to use the beads but I am such an idiot I didn't know how! Then you came along: God bless you
I DO like this method but have only had luck 50% of 4 attempts. Sadly I shattered LOVELY Amethyst beads purchased at Gem & Mineral show a few years ago which I'd been aaving for "the oerfect project." Was bummed when happened to 1st one & crushed when 2nd attempt yielded same results. It DID work well with plastic beads I tried. 😊 BTW I just LOVE the tune you used, it makes me cry when I hear it, but in a Good way. ❤
it depends how much the cord will compress like a straw raffia type will not but a slippery satin type will etc. I use dental floss loops then no need to make a loop but you have to hold on to the neck of the loop when pulling hard.
Is it truly that the bead hole is too small for the cord or is it truly that the cord end is unruly with fraying? It doesn't seem likely that the same cord could go through a hole too small for it, especially doubled no less. I feel like I'm missing the fact here. Wouldn't simply using Bees Wax solve this issue?
I think it was a very soft cord she was using, you could see how it squished when it bent. The cord l use that is the same size is much stiffer, so it wouldn't work. I use a small dab of hot glue on the end of cord, rolled into a point, stops fraying and makes it easier to thread beads.
Hi, I came up with this method myself last year, and I agree some pearls will be too small for some threads to fit, or some threads too fragile to work. It's still very effective with the good thread and pearls with decent hole size, and of course by being gentle with the material.
I will be the first to admit I thought the same thing on first seeing this. Obviously there are going to be limits to what will work here, and I don't recommend trying this with very small-holed gemstones. But in cases like this, with glass or other sturdy beads and a hole only slightly too small, this hack works AMAZINGLY well! Worth a try! Currently threading a bracelet with a technique I thought would never work, and which absolutely did. Many thanks to @BeadedJewelryMaking for the tip!
What did you expect, instructions on how to thread a marine rope through a 1mm hole using magic? The trick works for what it is meant for. Did you see any beads or thread break in the video? Because they didn't. It just worked, as seen in the video. And I know from experience that this trick works and usually doesn't break anything.
Alternatively, dip the frayed tip of your cord into the melted wax around the wick of a tealight candle, and work the wax and threads into a needle shape as it sets.
Nice, I just commented about the wax and then saw this. Great tip! You can buy waxed thread but for something like this, waxing your own thread gives you more control. I prefer stretch magic cord (like a clear fishing line but super stretchy) you can find it in most craft or fabric stores that sell beads
très belle astuce...Jamais je n'aurais pensé, grâce à vous j'ai pu faire mon bracelet avec des petites perles. Mille mercis. Si vous avez d'autres astuces, je prends.❤❤
whoa! i've bee doing it wrong for all these years and this is a double thread so the bracelet should be much stronger, thanks for this i will give it a try, this seems much more faster to get the beads thru too. 😎
@@BeadedJewelryMaking unfortunately, the cord wasn't strong enough and my needles was not able to let the cord get through, i painstakingly did repaired all my bracelets by hand, took me hours but i do need to next time find the right tools for the job to make it easier (Stretch Magic 5m) which i recently discovered, and i need to find some strong needles to help too, if you have anymore tips it will be welcome to help, thx
Thank you! I've been attempting to repair a stained glass mobile that the wind tore apart. There is jute cord threaded through small holes drilled through a 1.5" thick wood dowel. NO WAY could I get the squiggly cord through that small opening. I made so many different attempts, then watched this video and - Voila!
You could also use a dental floss threader - they come in packs of 25/50 for like $2.50. Stiff but flexible clear blue plastic, meant for flossing bridgework, etc. I use them almost entirely for threading all my beads, except for weaving or embroidery.
You can just use a piece of wire fold into half, I recommend flexible wire. Then you don’t need to due with the thread every time, you can reuse the wire again and again, and it’s much stronger than a thread which you might break it when pulling it too hard.
@@romeosvengalli that's why I use flexible wire not normal wire. I have used them for many many times for years. Before you crack the bead the wire will break first.
What max diameter of thread will fit thru and double loop thru what size bead hole size? Also What size thread to what hole size if i dont want the beads to slide or move easily?so how do you thread a 2mm thread into a 2mm bead hole? Or does it have to be 1.5 mm thread? Cannot seem to get any answers on this question
Thank you!!! I broke my favourite necklace on holiday and couldn't get the pendant back on the cord i bought. Thankfully I'm staying next to a sewing shop 😁
My cord has sheared through and been destroyed using a cotton that will cut the cord like cheese-wire this also happened to my expensive leather and suede cord
Try using stretch magic cord or wax the cord. Some types of Dental floss work well with this as well. What I do is take a tooth pick and dab a dot of oil or Vaseline on the inside of the bead and any type of wax or chapstick if it's a cotton or poly thread. Hair pomade or softer hair dress work in a pinch as well. Work with what's around! :) thanks for this video.
If I had not seen this I would have unraveled the cord until I could put it through. Getting 2 cords through is amazing. As long as the beads aren't breaking.
I usually burn the end a little bit so it's hard and I can force it through, hard and has it's limits since it has to be thread that contains plastic but works
Next up, use a Lark's Head rather than a loop so the cotton's easily removable. Put the thicker cord across both cottons, so there's a loop in the cotton on both sides, then pass the needle through the other loop, catching the cord between. When done, reverse the needle from the loop.
Omg!! Thank you so much.. it worked perfectly ❤
Thank you so much and welcome 🙌

An excellent way to break thread, cord, or beads. The hole of the bead would have to be only barely too small for the cord for this to work.

You can just use a piece of wire fold into half, I recommend flexible wire. Then you don’t need to due with the thread every time, you can reuse the wire again and again, and it’s much stronger than a thread which you might break it when pulling it too hard.
👍🏼💞💞💞
Jewelry wire and pliers. Be careful, though. You run the risk of cracking or splitting the bead using this method.
