you wouldn't believe the amount of times I've dropped my bracelet trying to tie the ends. great video.
Ikr, the struggle. This was a great tutorial
Thanks Justine, glad this video was so helpful for you, we love this technique and we're happy to see it's working for folks!
Tell me about it 😂 I feel like punching somebody or something 😭😭😭😭
RIGHT!!!!!
I feel your pain...when I drop beads they fall between me and my desk...I call this area the Bermuda triangle because I can never find them again!
EXCELLENT QUALITY TUTORIAL! !
crystal cear voice, no distracting background music, very easy to see up close.
Thank you!
Too many "tutorials" are unfortunately more interested in the editing effects rather than focusing on making ab tutorial actually displaying clearly And explaining at a reasonable speed. ..
Great job, this helped alot
Thanks for your kind words! We are glad you enjoyed the tutorial! We like getting straight to the point.
Yes
I loved this tutorial! Very easy to follow and it was easy to understand what she was saying. ❤
You write alot of reply
@@beadaholique I'm just wondering, especially since you used a needle why not just bead through with a double elastic strand from the get go?
I came to look for how to tie. I had already gone through all my beads WITHOUT a needle. It just doubles the work.
AHHH! Now I know what I'm doing! Now I know to go through the beads TWICE with the Opelon, and how to finish the bracelet by making a quality knot, and enforcing it in such a way that it won't come apart. Thanks for a great,
clear, easy-to-see Tutorial! Amie
you're so welcomed!
I had no idea, I only thought I knew how to make a bracelet!!! And the worst part is that I ordered wrong size beads darn it, they are gonna be too big for a 10 yr old!!
@@vetalverson7401 Ask the 10 year old if the beads are too big.
Turns out that I had 'accidentally' bought the exact same products you recommended. But even with the right products, I still needed your help to learn how to secure the cord. Again, thank you for your video.
awesome. so glad we could help
Your tutorial is a huge improvement over what I was doing with stretch bracelets. I feel so much more confident that my stretch bracelets will last a long time using your technique. Thank you.
Possible with double string to safely use higher value beads
This is an incredibly helpful video, and so well made. No superfluous jibber-jabber, just plain and very clear instructions. Thank you x
Glad we could help! We've never been a big fan of jibber-jabber either, we keep our videos nice and to the point.
My favorite bracelet with great sentimental value broke. I knew nothing about beading, but after studying your video the project came out perfectly. Thank you!
My very old and favorite bracelet broke a needed to be restrung so I found your video. I'm so happy I did! It was easy to do. It's better than before! And now I have your website for supplies.
Hi, I am so happy to see how you feed back thru the beads and the knots you do. So smooth. I still have a couple of knots come out of the lava beads. My beads have small holes so I have a difficult time. I love making bracelets so I will keep practice. Thank you for a great tutorial...
Thank you for the nice words!
OMG, I've made so many bracelets over the years and I've never known about this double stringing technique. Nor did I know about cementing the knot into a bead. Thank you so much for explaining that!
Thank you so much! You literally a lifesaver, you wouldn't believe how much effort I put into keeping these strings together 😆 Your video is amazing, keep it up! ❤️
You are so so soft spoken which makes your tutorial more interesting and makes others to stay there from the beginning to the end.
Wow, this is THE best technique I've seen yet--thanks, Beadaholique!
So GREAT! My bracelets kept breaking or untying. Could never find that stretch fiber until this video. Super super helpful!!!
Perfect! Out of all of the videos I’ve watched on how to secure these bracelets...this seems like the best technique to me! I made my first bracelet today following your instruction! Thank you!
That makes us so happy to hear! Thanks so much for watching our video!!
Thank you!!! One of my ALL TIME FAV bracelets broke… I bought the cord and tried several times before deciding to look it up! You explained this perfectly and now I have it back! Kudos!
Great explanation on securing knots for my bracelet. Thank you 🎉.
I am so glad I watched your video!! So helpful! I just bought a ton of beads to get into jewelry making & I was feeling so overwhelmed at where to start & how to properly make an elastic bracelet.. such a great video! ❤️
Great tutorial! My stretch bracelet broke and now I feel confident to fix it. Will search your website for supplies. Wonderful
I just made my first beaded bracelet by following this tutorial, using beads that I made myself out of Polymer Clay. It was fun and easy to follow! Thank you so much for sharing!
Absolutely brilliant idea & no music playing in the background ! Thank you 😊
Excellent. Thank you. I have had all of the supplies to do this for years. I lacked the confidence. You have given me the confidence and the knowledge that I needed.
So glad we could help JoAnn! We're hearing from a lot of people right now who are pulling out old craft projects and giving them a new try and it's wonderful to be able to help people do that!
This is the BEST demo and technique I've seen. I will ONLY use this technique when making my stretch bracelets. Thank You!
For one who is new to this hobby and has the patience of a gnat, I really appreciate this video and am waiting to receive the Big Eye Needles.
The big eye needles make such a difference, they'll get you started off right. Welcome to the hobby!
Hey thanks for sharing, these knots will last seems like forever and the ppl you bless with your gifts will enjoy them
for years. Thanks a bunch.
You're welcome Donnice! These knots might not last forever but they'll get pretty close!
Thank you for your helpful video. I was attempting my first bracelet and realized that I didn't know how to secure the ends properly (without extra cord showing) so that it would last. This was very helpful!
Excellent video. I just saw someone else’s, and it didn’t use glue nor hid the string like yours. Thank you. I’m using your technique
Where have you been my whole life! No wonder my bracelets kept breaking and I was using a diff kind of plastic that would never stay tied for long. Thank you so much for sharing
This is a very good instructional video, that gets straight to the point, with a clear visual of exactly what she is doing. No silly chitchat and nonsense. I went out and bought everything necessary and made a bracelet with no trouble after watching this. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for appreciating our style. No silly chitchat here, just solid techniques. Glad this video was so helpful for you!
Wow I’m blown away !! Thank you so much for sharing ♥️ Im literally just starting out with my 4 yr old how thankfully is getting creative.
So I was just looking on eBay after buying beads the other day then it dawned on me we have no cord, so after looking up some on eBay I discovered from a seller there is all types of thickness!! It took some time but I got it lol
Then I was about to buy some so I read the description and low and behold the kind lady added something on the lines of,
“ If you think just tying a knot in you cord/bracelet is enough, it will not hold for long ! Please go to YT to see how to stop this happening”
So I found your channel again Thank you for showing us all how to achieve this.
Subscribed about an hour a go but,school run’s a must, just had time to leave my comment.
Amazing Bless you ✨♥️✨
Thanks for subscribing!
thank you for this!! i didn’t glue mine because i am using tiny clay beads, but this really helped to make sure i was securing the bracelets enough! i am giving these away so i am glad to have a secure knot
Thank you for this saying that it's a point 7 mm stretch cord in your show more section! I've never seen this knotting techniques and it sure will make a world of difference! Thank you
Thank you I love it!
Very helpful and not a painful tutorial to get thru. I am so glad I thought to UA-cam my question and found you!
Thank you for helping us to make this bracelet. So beautiful.
Fantastic presentation. Can’t wait to start using this technique.
I am so pleased that I checked out Your tutorial ! I agree with how easy you show and explain everything! Thank You so much!
Very nicely done. Clear instructions and they work ! Easy to see how you're making the knots and applying the glue. Thank you !
Thanks for watching Aleta glad we could help!
Your technique is head and shoulders above the rest!
☺💎🏆💞
Wonderful tutorial! Thank you!
I’ve always wanted to make bracelets connect, I never knew how and was always so stumped…then I thought, UA-cam haha! And your video was the first one I found and I’m glad I found it! I used to make just memory wire coil like bracelets because I never thought I could make a bracelet like this but I am so happy I can’t wait to make some!!
Thanks for this! I have stayed away from stretch bracelets as they tend to break over time. This will help.
I love when I find the video I’m looking for and it’s one and done. Good technique easy and to the point!👌👍thank you!
GREAT tips! Thank you so much. Learned something new watching this.
One of the best bead stringing videos 😊
Excellent tutorial! I did one bracelet with the needle and double strand. But the knot was too bulky. I'm glad I've learned the right way to do it. Also I will have to buy the good elastic you are talking about. Thank you for your excellent tips!
That’s a really ingenious way of adding strength to your stretchy bracelets, thanks for the video!
I love how this reinforcement was done and I'll be practicing it. Thanks!
Hi lynn from Scotland just starting jewellery making thanks for helping me understand a lot more about the tools and wire sizes .
Thank you I have never had a problem with my bracelets but your direction are fabulous thank you again
Thank you so much for sharing. This was very helpful. I may place an order for supplies.
Thanks SO much for this video. I have made stretch bracelets out of expensive gem stones only to have them fall apart on first wear😤. I hope this method works with the stretch cord I have🙏.
You are awesome!! Wonderful tips and you've got me excited to start beading!! Thank you!
Thank you. Your video was informative, direct, and most helpful. 👍
Great! I am so glad it helped.
Great video, I’m going to use this technique with my new order of stretch bracelets.
Absolutely a wonderful tutorial..TFS❤️
This is one of the best video I watched so far for bracelets! I bought some soft cord yesterday and somewhat did the same technique but I pulled mine too tight. So I will make another one and try again. I also love those needles you used too..it will make my bracelet making faster. Thank you so much for this video!
I wish I watched this video years ago. Now I will have to restring my precious stone bracelets. Very useful video. Thanks a lot!!!
You're welcome! Glad it was useful.
Thank you - I now know how to properly secure a stretch bracelet! Excellent...
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
I have a stretch memorial bracelet in memory of my dear pup, Bingo. It broke recently and I was heartbroken. Your tutorial showed me how to repair my bracelet and I wear it every day! :) Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
We are so happy to hear our video helped! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Great, easy to follow instructions for securing my beaded bracelets!! Thank you!!
Thank you for this demonstration. Very nice
You made a wonderful video. So easy to follow. THANK U

Outstanding. So happy to have found your channel. Thank you, from Australia.
I’m a complete newbie to beading and I’m so grateful that I found this tutorial. Thank you
Glad to help, welcome to the hobby!
I’ve wondered how to do this for years! Thank you!
This was just an amazing video! Thank you so much! I am just starting out.
Amazing! So simple but life changing!
Thank you so much!! I just bought some beautiful beads and I’m going to start making bracelets, but didn’t know how to tie it off. This video was very helpful. Namaste.
Clear and precise video! I’m very new to jewelry making and this video has helped a tonne! Thank You!!
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching Maria!

Nice clear and concise instructions. I feel more confident in making my first bracelet.
Thank you, for clear direction how to make a bracelet long lasting wear..Listening from South Florida..
Very nice tutorial. Love the bracelet. Thank you.
Clear and precise instructions, thank you
Excellent instructional video. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏻😊
Thanks for watching!!
This video is so helpful thank you!
Thanks for this informative video on how to close a stretch braclet. I've only been making jewerly for 6 months after being a life long crafter of other categories. I never knew how difficult making jewerly is compared to other categories. My Lord i will never complain again about the price of an artist's jewerly items cause i know now first hand how hard it can be. 😊
Welcome to the world of jewelry making!
@@beadaholique Thanks
Love this! THANK YOU so much for your clarity and professionalism. Fab video!
You're very welcome Geralyn, thanks for the kind words!
Thanks so much. This is the extra assurance I needed for these bracelets.
This is the best video I have seen on making a bracelet. Thank you!!!
I learned so much watching this!!
Thank you! This is amazing... Really taught me how to knot my bracelets, and look professional!
I am an absolute newbie at this and I cant express how Grateful I am for this video. Living in Tucson we have so many beads and with the help of this video I was able to grab loose beads at the gem show and make my own bracelets! Thank You!!!
We are so happy to hear this helped! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much!! I’m not skilled and it’s my first time doing this, but I managed to make an anklet because of this video. Thank you.
Glad we could help!
Thanks for this amazing clear tutorial! 👍🏽
This video is the best. Jewelry store was going to charge me 4 dollars per bracelet to restring. I said you know what lemme get the glue, eye needles, and sewing nippers since I already have the stretchy string and I'll learn how to do it myself. This video was a great step by step especially since it incorporated double string method which is what I wanted to learn. I think the only thing I didn't see in this video that I saw in another video was to stretch it a little before stringing to prevent from getting loose over time while on the wrist. Thank you!
Glad this video was helpful for you! $4 a bracelet sure adds up pretty quick if you've got several bracelets to fix. As far as stretching the cord before stringing a lot of people do find that helpful with many different kinds of stretch cord. We didn't do it hear because in our experience the Opleon cord doesn't need pre-stretching, but it's certainly not going to hurt anything if you do.
I love this technique! I usually bead by hand which is very time consuming. Will try this! Thank you 💗
What a great idea. Thanks so much.
Thank you for the glue section. That part was my hang up.
Excellent tutorial no extra talking. Clear and great advice thank you !!!!
Thanks for watching!
I adore this! Thank you! I’m starting a small business and I knew there had to be a better way than the juvenile way of looping it once and tying the ends!
Glad we could help, good luck with your jewelry business!
@@beadaholique Thank you so much!
Thank you so much. Very informative.
I accidentally bought the same elastic and needles today! But I didn't know about glue. This is my first time and you are a wonderful teacher! Thank you!
Glad we could help! Don't worry too much about the glue, it ads a bit of security and peace-of-mind but it's not required. The knot will hold well on its own.
We are family. Nice to meet you. I love your video, learning how to make a stretchy cord breaclet.
Thank you! I wish I'd found this sooner. I made a few stretch bracelets with gemstones the other day and it was a real pain--plus I worry about them breaking. I'll have to go back to them and add these techniques so I can wear them in peace.
dont forget that hypo cement !
Did you use the glue on the gemstones? didn't the glue ruin the natural beads?
What an excellent tip...Thanks!
Thanks so much. Beautifully done!
Very clear and well presented instructions. Trying to make a stretch bracelet can be very tricky. I've had some fall apart! I'm grateful to you for this video! I will use your methodology!! Thank you!
Glad we could help Patricia! You're right, they can be tricky, this method is one we came up with over several years of working with stretch chord, glad it helps!
