Such a clear explanation! I’ve been avoiding the side drilled beads in my stash. Not anymore! Thanks Julie. 😊

Me too! Did my own thing until now!

I am so glad this video helped! I have been trying to find an easy solution for side drilled beads for awhile so I was really happy when this worked out.

Perfect timing!! I just got some gorgeous teardrop crystal AB beads that are top-drilled and I'm getting ready to start a new pair of earrings and necklace set. This is the exact tutorial I need to do that!! Were you reading my mind??? Lol 😄

Thank you for sharing this with us. 😊

Thanks for the demo. I crush more beads trying to make this loop. After watching this, I think it is because I make the loops too small. Again, thanks!

[@beadaholique]

Hi! That definitely could be. I hope a little larger loop helps.

Julie, does it make a difference if you use twisted wire,could you do a video if needed. Thank you.

[@beadaholique]

Hi! If the twisted wire you are using can easily slip through the bead hole, you should be fine. It needs to be thin enough to go through the hole but strong enough to hold its shape like the 22 gauge shown in the video. I can definitely add it to the video request list.
