    I have been in started beading in the 70's plus working with the eldery for the last 45 years. I find people that use their hands has more brain cells. I am 85 years and try to make one bracelet aday. And I live alone. Whe you see a person setting idle, fingers not moving ,that brain isn't growing. Thank you so very much for all your wonderful tips. God Bless you............

    I've been beading for many many years and I learned 4 things today. So, Thank You. Soft Flex is the Cadillac of wires, don't scrimp on your crimps 😁, don't let your wires cross while crimping (I didn't think it mattered) and trim to the crimp bead. I always tucked my wire into the bead too. I always thought, if that crimp comes undone, I'll know if failed before I lose a bead. And yes, I have been poked and jabbed by that little wire. So thanks again, Kelly. You're awesome!!!

    Ok I am SO glad I watched this! I’ve been making jewelry for 20yrs and almost didn’t think this was worth watching, however I learned something new! I was always taught to string flex wire back into the bead for the same reason: extra support. And I struggled with hole sizes and sometimes things broke and I had no idea why! Now I’m finding out you can actually cut at the end of your crimp bead???? And it works???? Total game changer!!!!

  • @brandybobandy2194

    #10 just changed my life. I'm not kidding! I have always hated crimping because of struggling with that darn tail (I was taught the same way you were). It's great to know that if I crimp properly, I can just cut it flush! Thank you!

    Kellie, I noticed that you are fighting skin issues like I have with my illness. After researching; I have bought and used effectively soap made of bay leaf and olive oil ( at least 70% or higher ). The bay leaf ( Laurel leaf ) is a natural healer and the Olive oil adds enough moisture to the skin without an oily feeling afterwards. It's also referred as Aleppo cold processed soap and is easily found online. I tried many things over the years and this is the only thing that healed my skin problem. My best wishes and thanks.

So much to do you're right. I am retired and hope to do this for fun at the same time making some money on the side. I just came across your website today and I subscribed.

    Excellent explanations. I've never understood the importance of having that bent nose pliers, or the step-by-step analysis of the Loop and wire wrap around. Also I never understood exactly how the Crips work and how the crossing of the wire is what's making my crimps unstable. Thank you!

You explain techniques in great detail, details matter so much when it comes to making a quality finished jewelry piece. I've always struggled with skills like crimping and making wrapped loops, so thanks for the great instruction. I enjoy all your videos for using leather and macramé, I've been primarily a seed beader the last few years and I'm excited to try something that doesn't require staring at teeny tiny beads for hours at a time, LOL!

Unfortunately I just purchased small round crimps from Fire Mtn. I have the proper tool, so it must be my technique which I need to work on. Thanks again Kellie...I will save this video to refer to until I get it right. Next is the barrel knot. I am waiting for the tube to come in and I will watch your video to make it. Love your channel and your tutorials.
