How long yarn we need for knot
I'm so frustrated with tutorials that rush through the mundane steps as if you understand exactly what is happening in the step. My lady, you are a true teacher. Job well done. I loved the video.
Thumbs up for that statement!!! You end up feeling like an idiot. Totally agree. God bless
The best video that I have seen on pearl knotting especially explaining how to do the clasp on both ends! I also loved your voice! Thank you!
I love wearing pearls more than anything else I own. I’ve purchased so many of these beautiful baroque ones, hoping to make necklaces, bracelets, etc., and never could. Watched videos over the years to no avail.. NOW? I’m doing this tomorrow, and I thank you! So professional looking and you are the maestro of teaching it! ❤❤❤
OMGGGGG Thank You!!! You saved my sanity!! I feel like I had to watch a million videos then I get to yours and you make it perfectly simple perfectly fine perfectly easy I love love it!
Well I can’t believe that it’s video came up.. and so thankful that it did. I was wearing my freshwater pearl bracelet today in a dressing room at the shops when the bracelet broke… pearls flew everywhere and I was half undressed!!! I salvaged all the pearls and now I’ll know how to string the bracelet back together again.
Thanks for the excellent tutorial ❤
Quite the visual picture!!
This is hands down the best video I have seen on this subject. You are an excellent instructor, and you assume nothing so that the most novice beader can easily follow without being intimidated. I love pearls, but broke my string a few years back. They're about to come out of hiding - thanks to you. I have subscribed to your channel and can't wait to check out more videos. Thank you!
You are my saving grace… thank you for your expertise.
You are a great teacher. You explained the process so simply. I love your method too. This is the first pearl knotting video that I've watched that I was crystal clear on how to do it myself. ~Thank you!
I cannot wait to try this method... Thank you!
Thank you so much your a great teacher!
This video is absolutely fantastic. I watched several before I found someone that a) does a great job and b) explains it perfectly. Thank you so much!!!
The video is very accessible to someone like me - who knows just enough to jump in confidently and then make a big mess. I will no longer make a mess. Loved the math part also since I knew there was a problem with my two-strand bracelets not sitting "right," but I wasn't knowledgeable enough to fix it.
It was wonderful to discover the proper way to string pearls! Thank you!
Thank you so much..
Brilliant tutorial! So pleased to learn how many beads are needed when using more than one strand. I just need to get some French wire and appropriate thread for the size of holes. Soon, I will be able to return the two broken pearl necklaces to my friend - she will be so pleased as she has not been able to wear them for some time. Thank you so much for sharing your talent, much appreciated. ☺
This is fantastic! What a great tutorial. I've learnt so much!
Thank you so much I have regained a skill that I had found difficult in the past, thanks to you I now find a pleasure.
I'm darn near speechless! So pleased I can write you, though. Thank you so much for this delightful (both, to watch & hear; your voice is welcoming & enjoyable) tutorial on learning the art of pearl knotting. I'm feeling most fortunate that your video popped into my feed. I truly think I got the best instructor possible as this is my first video on the subject. I'm so excited to get my pearls spiffed-up. Along with my rock crystal stones, too. Perhaps, I owe a thank you to The Royal Family, too?
Yes! Brilliant explanation.
My two daughters were each given pearl necklaces by their Grandmother after she had been on a family trip to Australia. My older daughter's one got snagged and broke about midway along and has been languishing in its box for years - Grannie died about 6 years ago so it means a lot but the estimates she was getting from jewellers were ridiculous.
Armed with your video I got stuck in and the necklace is now back together and a bit longer as she wanted it to hang lower. We aimed for 55cms but forgot to allow for knots and clasp so it's 60cms when laid out - those knots add a surprising amount to the length! As it was I managed to nearly run out of the 2m long thread at the needle end but just about managed.
Managed to mangle the French wire at the closing end on the first attempt but got there in the end. I was using a size 2 needle and thread and the wire needle does get a bit gnarly as you go along - some of the original pearls (which are in the middle of the necklace, the new ones are at either end) had smaller holes and it was quite a tight fit. In the end I found that if I just got the tip of the needle in the hole and held it alongside the thread I could gentle push the pearl along the needle instead of pushing the needle through the pearl.
My daughter is coming to stay at the weekend - I think I'll casually leave the necklace in its box on her bed and see how long it takes for her to notice it.
Thanks for all your help, couldn't have done it without you.
Be safe!
Casual display, Jeffrey, for a possibly gruelling precurser! Props.
Outstanding tutorial!! Thank you so much! I have a few pearl necklaces to restring and when I checked the prices with jewellers in town... I was shocked! I've watched your tutorial twice, I've just finished a pearl and silver beads bracelet and it's gorgeous!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤❤❤
Ahh … I finally understand the purpose of french wire. I work a good deal with wire for stringing beads and am familiar with wire guards but always wanted a better way to finish off necklaces and bracelets in which I use string. Great tutorial!
😊
Thank you for a detailed demonstration. Loved the way you patiently explained each step. My wife and I have just successfully restrung her late mother's pearl necklace. 🙏
What a wonderful way of spending Mother’s Day alone. Learning something I have been willing to learn for many many years. What a wonderful master you are, thank you.❤
Thank you for your video. I learn a lot of technique and tips
Thats the best pearl knotting method and tutorial ive seen on youtube, im inspired to knot my pearls again today after my abortive method a few weeks ago, fantastic, thanks!!
This works great! I watched the video all the way through the first time. Then I made my mother’s black freshwater pearl necklace along with you. It’s absolutely stunning, and my mother loves it!
I learned to thread fine pearls when I was 16. This is the proper method though we did not use super glue but threaded back the silk through the pearls on either side of the last knot.
Do not hesitate to make very tight knots. They will soon sit. Apart from perfume, sweat and rubbing against each other, the enemy of beads is loose thread as it literally acts as a saw from the inside of the beads.
Double thread is a must. You might also like to use a length ribbed cardboard so that you can lay your pearls in line and eventually rearrange them to your taste.
Very good tutorial. Thank you. ❤
Oh! One last thing. Black thread for black or charcoal grey pearls. White for pale pearls.
Excellent video!!! So clear and concise. No wasted time, nothing is unclear, everything is covered. Thank you soooooo much.
I love this video! This is the technique that I will use, for sure.
You are a fantastic instructor. The method of knotting is precise and easy to accomplish. Love how you used the French wire on the clasp. Gave the bracelet a finished and elegant look. Thank you for sharing your expertise. 👍🏅
Thank you much for taking the time to show proper work.
Thank you for posting this video. It was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so very much.
Never seen this method before. So Clever. Thanks
I came for your content but now I’m here here for your voice. It’s extremely soothing 😍
Thank you so much for your patience with beginners like me. I did learn a lot from your demonstration.
My son asked that I restring an 18-inch necklace for his partner. Years have past since I have strung beads with knots. I'm so happy/glad to have found you. Your instructions are perfectly clear. I especially loved the sections of your video that illustrate how to wrap the thread around your fingers to tie the knots, Cheers!
You have a well modulated voice and explain the process clearly. I'm glad I came into your channel. I will try doing this. Thanks for sharing.
A brilliant tutorial, I love how you do it, thanks very much, you have given me the confidence to give it a try with my broken pearl necklace !!
The best knotting tutorial I have ever seen. Very well explained and executed.
Thankyou 🫤
Always wanted to learn how to knot between pearls and gemstones. Thank you so much! 💖🌹💍💎
Thank so much for this tutorial , thank you for breaking it down and making it so easy to follow , given me confidence to string my pearls
That was so simple! Got it on my first try with your instruction. Thank you!
This is such a better way of knotting necklaces. Thank you.
This is one of the best or maybe the Best instructional video I’ve seen. You take your time and explain very clearly. Thank you.
I will finally try to make a pearl necklace that my daughter has asked for.
Fantastic!! I just inherited boxes of pearl beads and didn't think I could make my own necklaces. I can't wait to try this method.
This is an incredible tutorial! I feel like I can do this!! Thank you so much!!
I'm fairly new to knotting pearls and I have found that this video has been most interesting to learn how to knot with two strands of silk thread and the method used in this video. I also wondered how that a two or three stand necklace was measured out to fit the strands properly. This has been a number one video and have learned how to knot and measure your pearls to make great looking necklaces.
Thank you very much very this video🙏🏽🌹😀
Thank you so much. I just knotted my very first baroque pearl necklace today while following your detailed instructions. From you, I learnt to be very careful and patient. So grateful!
Meditative, I think!
Your work is beautiful and well done.
igneous way to knot pearls. THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR YOUR GUIDENCE.
Without a doubt the best method I've seen. The detailed explanation is wonderful - well done! Thank you for introducing me to this easier method of knotting pearls or any other beads for that matter.
Yes; I am using this technique for much larger beads, that will profit from lovely contrasting knotted cords.
A really comprehensive tutorial. Your instructions were very clear. It is a great method. Thank you.
Absolutely beautiful! I loved this tutorial. You are an amazing teacher. Thank you!
This was perfect, exactly what I was looking for! Thank you 😊
This is an amazing tutorial!! I just finished re-stringing a broken necklace for my granddaughter, and it turned out great. Thank you so much for your excellent video, and your in-depth descriptions and explanations on how to do all of the beading and knotting. Even with my "fat fingers" I was able to put her necklace back together, and I can't wait to return it to her. Thank you!!
You're a good teacher! Thank you 😊 ❤
Thank you for sharing this less complicated knotting method. You seem to be calm and patient, I have a question, I didn't notice you stretching the cord, I wonder why not?
Very good tutorial. I'm learning how to string knot pearls and this helped much. Thank you 😊. I also created a private Playlist to watch this multiple times when doing Pearl strand projects. It'sa very good, straightforward technique and I really liked it.
I knot all my pearls and gems. Its the only way to go, and honestly, it feels better to wear, its more fluid with my movement. This is the best knotting video I have seen. Beautiful work!
This was the best knotting tutorial i have ever seen. I am so excited! I can now fix the beaded necklaces and bracelets that were my dear departed mother's. No soecial tools required. Just your fingers and patience. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you so much for this very thorough tutorial. Oct/17/2023
I learned a lot today💐
Thank you I thought I wanted to start does hobby and now I’m pretty sure I’m not sure it looks tedious but I think I’m gonna give it a go. Thank you very much and have a good day. Got a love New Zealand.
An absoolutely beautifully done tutorial, Thank you. I have once or twice wrestled with knotting years ago, and because it was so wretched, it has been years. This excellent tutorial has given me hope of finally stringing those pearls I bought so long ago.
Five Stars Classe ❤ millions Thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💕💕💕💕
Thanks so much for your tutorial! You've just aswered a lot of my questions! I'm enspired and eager to make something really beautiful. God bless you!

This was really well done. Thanks!
You're so calm & do a beautiful tutorial! Thank you so very much😁🌹
Suz in Yuma Arizona ❤
This is the most perfect and professional tutorial. Well done, you are very good and clear!
Thanks for this tutorial! You explained everything so clearly and gave a lot of little tips to have an easier time even when being just a beginner. Now I feel comfortable tackling my next bead project
You are an amazing instructor, thanks!
.I have just had my good pearls break and was intimidated at the cost of having them professionally restrung. Your video is so clear and helpful that I am going to try and restring them myself. Thank you so much.👏🏻👏🏻
I was given pearls as a child from my grandfather. I wore them until all the clasps failed. Somehow I've hung onto them for years. Using your video I've restrung them and discovered they are not pearls at all!!! They are just plastic beads, but they look lovely and they have new life. I've ordered a lot of authentic peals to make Christmas gifts. Thank you for the easy to follow, detailed video. I've watched multiple videos and tried to follow. Your method and instruction is by far the best. THANK YOU!!!!!
LOVE, LOVE your method---& clearly explained---when I start mine, I'm going to start/stop your video!!! TYVVM
She's right about why it's a good idea to knot the pearls. That's basically how I used to make my knots with necklaces and bracelets, although I didn't make the loop like you did. I always had spare needles on hand in case I bent them up or dropped one (very hard to find in a carpet). That's about the only type of needle that will fit through the holes of real pearls. It's been awhile. I used to sell them in gift shops years ago. I still have lots of supplies, but have been considering selling them off. Too many hobbies haha.
Very clear instructions thank you!!
,
Wow …. After years of making bracelets, seeing countless tutorials, it truly amazes me when I see something entirely new and different. I love it and it looks finished, polished and clean lines.
I just found your tutorial, and learned a lot from you! Thank you very much and greetings from Belgium.
God bless you for your patience and tenderness
I can't 😅
Thank you !!!! Clear and nice video !
Brilliant tutorial, easy to follow.
Thank you ❤️
Very good explanation!! I have inherited my husbands mothers pearls. I want to restring them for my daughter. Thanks so much!!!
You are very easy to follow, thanks.
That was such a fantastic tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us. I appreciate it a lot.
Very nicely explained. My first time doing knotting. I will give this method a try. Thank you so much.
Just watched this video! You are so very thorough & patient. Thank you!! Am going to try this soon!!
Thank you so very much for this wonderful video, I have been watching so many videos on knotting Pearls...I feel like I have watched a hundred...then I found you!! Thank you, thank you... I live in the Kingdom of Eswatini (Swaziland) Southern Africa, its hard for us to get tutorials here :)) We do most things by the seat of our pants!!
Thank you so much for letting us know you liked my tutorial. It makes all so worth while when someone appreciates it this much. Love and best wishes to you.
This was fantastic and well demonstrated
Wow, ur a great teacher. Nice & slow, good explanation as well as visually. Thanks so much. I'm nervous to try, but have a freind ask me to make a bracelet for her from an old wedding dresses removed Pearl's. Wish me well.
Excellent video. Thank you.
What is great about knotting between your beads and gemstones is if you have long hair, your hair won't get caught between the beads.
THANK YOU! This was THE BEST tutorial on pearl knotting I've seen (and I've watched many!). Very clear video and easy to follow because you went slowly. I'm your newest subscriber and biggest fan.
Excellent video! thank you for sharing. Your instructions are VERY clear and well demonstrated. Now I’m not afraid to try bead knotting. More thanks.
Brilliant tutorial!
Thank you so much!!! I just finished one. I've had a box of pearls that I've picked up over the years but never got them quite right. I usually use 1 thread and 2 knots ♥
Thank you so much I really appreciate it this tutorial .
Okay, I'm going to try knotting when my silk with needle arrives and start your video over to watch from the beginning.
You are a great teacher
Thank you!!! Wonderful instruction... finally feel confident after 30 years!; instead of paying for this service... thank you!
