I started beading 3 months ago due to your wonderful tutorials. They are so professional that I never have a problem following them. This has become my new past-time. My biggest problem is deciding on colours because beads are beautiful. Its like going to a candy store. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
I like the tutorial for this bracelet with just the written words, but was glad to find this one. You have such a pleasant voice, it makes it relaxing to follow your instructions. Love the bracelet, but too tired tonight, so I'll do it in the morning. Looks easy enough after watching twice, and will watch while working on it. Thank you for great tutorials.
I made this bracelet in browns and golds and it's gorgeous. I have orders from relatives wanting them. As soon as my camera is sorted out, battery??, who knows, I'll take a photo to share. Thanks for all your tutorials, they keep me so busy and productive.
Thank you so much you are indeed a wonderful teacher and so kind to share your skills. I am new to beading but find your instructions, patience and skill are making it possible for me to follow. I'm home in Scotland at the moment but go back to Luanda, Angola in January (my husband's job) and hope to pass what I've learnt to others. Some of us expats meet together in my house there and make jewellery to sell to raise money for a play therapist who works with babies, toddlers and older kid in a local orphanage. Thank you so much - you are indeed a very kind lady, bless you!
You don't sound silly at all! You talk so we understand better & I love how you sound, but yeah you sound like him! Maybe artists sound alike :) I never tried myself in here! I love this tutorial, yeah & people love the look of this bracelet! I do them in many colors-TY
Greetings from Greenwood, Indiana. I have made several of your pearl and crystal bracelets for family members and co-workers and everyone absolutely loved them! I made the bracelet longer added wire protectors and chain and made it into a necklace which I gave to my 82 year old Mom who wore it and the bracelet the day I gave it to her. She was thrilled and so was I. Thanks to you, I was able to create something she really loved. Thank you for your wonderful videos. Keep up the outstanding designs you create.
Thank you for making this video. I've been beading for 20 years but was intimidated by the intricate design. After watching this, I'm ready to do this project. Your instructions made perfect sense and took the fear away.💕
Thank you, again! I ended up using black pearls. I am delighted with the results and am working on another one in a different color combination. You have a new follower! 💕
have to tell you I am 73 just started beading infact a group of us have just started a beading group in our retirement village none of us have beaded before and we are finding your beading for beginners fantastic I have just started on the flat spiral and feeling very pproud of myself you teach so well. Thank you
Awesome Jennifer. I know for a fact no one is too old to learn. I had a lady telling me she was teaching a 92 year old (her mother) and they both love it :-) I have been to Texas to see one of my friends there in a retirement home and she got all the ladies beading also LOL :-)
Thank you for the reply, What I did mean was I can go back and play this teaching over and over. I have now made 3 and love them all !!! My friends are so impressed and now I will make them all one . Thank you again !!!!
The bracelet turned out jewelery salong quality. This was very impressive. I like the choice of your beads and the systematic way in which you talk through the steps. But while watching this tutorial I couldnt help but think that your voice would be perfect for bed-time audio books for children - so soothing and calm it is :)
I love watching your tutorial , never really try beading one. Look like completed. BUT!!Before the end of the year ,I hope I can make one..Keep the tutorial coming... you are a very good teacher..Thank you for sharing your talent unselfishly..God Bless.
I just finished this one today and it's lovelier in person. I did change the clasp to a beaded one and I had to anchor the swirls as the sides flopped over when I had the bracelet on. Thank you for your generous time and tutorials.
I love this bracelet - I have now made 3 of them with plans to make more. I watched the video before I knew there was a previous on - but I totally was able to do this and I am new to beading. You are great at instructions.
Thank you so much for this video. I've made the bracelet about six times now, with a variety of combinations of beads (several times had to take it apart and re-do), and only now feel that I've truly mastered it. As a beginning beader (took one class at a local shop), I really appreciate your clear instructions. I've subscribed, and I can't wait to see some of your others! (And congratulations on having one of your designs in Bead and Button!) Thanks again, Jianna.
hi Washiela, welcome to the wonderful world of beading. I hope you will enoy it and make many, many projects still to come. you have bumped in to the right channel :-) I'm planned this channel to go from newbie to advanced in 3 months... I hope to make it :-)
I love this bracelet, i watched the previous video, the picture video for this same bracelet, and i understood everything except how to do the ending and how to attach the clasp, until i saw this one, made it SOOO much more clearer, thank you so much for these beautiful creations and hope you continue to make more :)
This is one of my favorite bracelets! I love the flat spiral. I make it with 8mm pearls. I tried with 10mm as well and larger seed beads. I am not sure if I love how the larger ones lay. But the 8mm is my favorite! Thanks for a great tutorial!
Thank you for showing how you fix the beginning and the ending of the bracelet. I did not like how it looked either and I found your video and you were making the fix how I was thinking I could do it, but was not quite sure what else to do. Thank you.
i have just made this bracelet using 8mm pearls and 4mm bicones. I just added an extra 11/0 either side of the bicone (so used 6 instead of 5) and it worked brilliantly. It lay flat really nicely. Your videos are very clear and easy to follow - Thanks very much for your time.
thanks Gianna - it worked out so well - i did two of them. One with dark Gey pearls and black bicones, and the other with dark purple Pearls and purple bicones - they are beautiful - but only thanks to you!
Thank God you are a perfectionist because I have made this bracelet twice now and hated them because of the end flipping thing. Now that I have found you, the problem is solved. Thank you very much. Great video. I'm an new subscriber and have turned on my bell. :)
I was just taught some about beadings and was directed to you by my 'teacher'. Love the look of this and bought the stuff and hopefully will be able to do this. Thank you so much for making this available. Easier to understand than in a book. But it's still scarey even though you make it sound like anyone can do this.
Susan Hatch thank your "teacher" for referring you to me. And yes anyone can do it. But watching may be confusing so I always suggest just sit down, get the beads out and try it pausing me along the way. You'll be happily surprised I promise :-)
hi. thank you for responding. yes I used the same size material. I fiqured out how to fix my problem... first, i had to keep my project from twisting from front to back as I worked on it. i had to keep it frontward as i worked on it. and second i had to make sure that i pushed the section that contains the 6mmb to the right side consistanty throughout my project n that fixed the problem...it looked nice and flat. now I just need to work on adding the clasp part neater.. thanks again for your excellent video.
Hey there, thanks for your Tutorial. I've made my own bracelet (after three tries it's finally worth keeping it :) ) I'm a complete novice with beading and you talked me throug it quite well. I only had to try something different for the Loop later because I was unable to force jet another threat throug my Seedbeeds (I've probalby used to small ones). Thanks a bunch
Absolutely loved it.....it turned out very lovely and i figured out and felt comfortable with the pattern within twenty mins..i did a toggle clasp on mine...great video, was explained very well. Thank you
Hi up until now I thought I was a subscriber lol but I learned how to make this bracelet from another beading tutorial I made it for my daughter to wear to her junior prom and I did not like how the first and last loop curled over until I saw your tutorial that was a great help to me I'm still a beginner beader but I have made four of these bracelets I even used pearls on pearl this is a great and easy bracelet to make.
I really want to post a picture of my finished! I used odd colors, wasn't thinking it would be an end result I would keep, but this was great!!! The first time round I got it! And tho I am able to make the most interesting mistakes, this was easy enough to backtrack and fix...also it wasn't all loose and wonky like my other projects I am going to master. Thank you for such clear direction.
Thanks so much for this :-) Just made a bracelet tonight using 6mm and 3mm swarovski antique brass pearls and pale aqua seed beads. I think I'll be getting some fire polished beads to work up a few of these for Christmas presents as it's a quick but very pretty pattern.
Tried the bracelet last night, though the seed beads and bicones will not lie flat, I totally love it and will eep trying till it's perfected. Thanks for the tutorials.
+Rashida Zilkar Most important when you do such a tutorial is to use exactly the same size and shape beads I am using, after you make one like this, you can always play around trying different shapes or sizes. That goes also for the thread I use. Anything you may not have used the same could cause it to not lay flat
This bracelet is a pain to make, but it is beautiful, thank you for sharing it, took me over 2 hrs to complete it last night lol, but what a beauty, not sure I'll be offering to make it for anyone yet, i'm working on changing it from a single strand to a double, i think once i figure that out it will be much easier to produce them :), because it was the thread tangling that made it so hard to do, but i love your tutorials thank you :)
try running your thread throughbees wax, it will help a lit with the tangles, at least when it does tangle it's easier to untangle :-) Been using it for a while now and wouldn't want to live without it anymore :-)
nice, i'll try that, i'll see if i can buy at any of my local shops, i saw you doing that too lol, but i tried the half and half method it worked great, and was so much easier to tie down the little flappers at the beginning and end, i made another this morning, was so much easier, keep showing us your beautiful work ... thank you :)
it is, i made a second, it gets easier, but you have to watch the flip lol... at least twice on the second one i did it backward and had to undo it lol ... but still very pretty Thank You
Hi Cindy. I have a combine beading needle pack I buy in the neadby craftstore. They are different length and have different size needle eyes but for the love of me I don't know what sizes they are. Anything that will get me though a bead makes me happy :-) I used 2x armspan wide (about 2 meters)
hi. i;ve done many of these. only i tread on my jumpring before closing the 5 beads at the end of the bracelet., so now i dont have to open up the jumpring first. just a little tweek. but works better for me. thanks for a great tut, and happy beading ,)
Thank you soo much for the information. I am going to learn the stitches Exactly in the order you told me. Thank you also for giving me the exact videos to watch. Very much appreciated. Will let you know how everything goes?
what does "beading like this" mean... :-) I'm curious... what sort of beading or how were you beading before. Glad I was able to inspire you. Yes the blaf spiral as well as the capricho are the two most favorite bracelet stitches out there. I will get to the capricho in due time :-) First things first :-)
Love your tutorials! Can you give me an idea on how to turn this into a necklace/earrings set? I don't want a choker, but would like to find an easy adaptation for a necklace/earrings set to go with the bracelet. Keep bringing us new stuff on the backup, I do much better when I watch you and hear you too!
I don't mean to bug you but every time I make a flat spiral bracelet I think of you each one I make is more beautiful than the other and it greatly because of the technique that you have shared with us I am most grateful I am in the process of repairing two and I would love to show them to you is there a facebook page that I can access.
Beautiful Bracelet, Thank You for sharing this with us!!! What kind of needle are you using?? I have trouble getting a beading needle through 11 seed beads..any suggestions??
LOVELY! I am totally new to this, and really want to learn; I love how you explain each step so thoroughly. TWO questions I have is 1) how much TOTAL length of thread do you use per bracelet? And 2), what kind & size of needle do you use? Thanks! -- Cindy
Brilliant video. I have never made a bracelet before and found this easy to follow. I only wish you had completed the video with adding the clasp and made us visit a link. I think it should of flowed through from beginning to end. Not a complaint though just a preference. Great tutorial
B4Pbakup looks cool.im just planning to start and ur tutorial seems easy.wish u can share some ideas to familiarize wid d materials..tnx lot! tnx for ur talent!
Your work is amazing, do you sell on etsy? Look forward to many more tutorials. Best place to buy crystals and pearls? Any tips. Bless you you're an inspiration and natural teacher.
Yes Wendy you can find my. I now started selling every time I make an item for the tube I will put it up for sale in my etsy shop and I have an etsy shop with 2 dollars patterns to raise funds for a good cause :-) Here is my Physical item shop www.etsy.com/shop/b4pbakup and here are my patterns www.etsy.com/shop/B4perfectionists
This is lovely and your tutorial is very well done. I wrote down the items you suggested, however, I don't know what size beading needle you are using. What do you suggest?
difficult one.. Shambala bracelet comes to mind but that's about it. men don't wear swarovski... you could make a cuff with a ladder stitch but it's an awful lot of work... :-)
that's the first time anyone said that. Does it break while you are beading or does it break while wearing? And are you using Swarovski and miyuki or are you using other material to make this?
Hi Gianna..after watching this am working on a flat spiral but with (think what are called) rondelle beads..may not be as good as this one but would like to share with you..
Thank you. I love your vidros. You are very thorough with how you do them. Thanks:) Im so excited to learn how to make that white cross. Thats a beautiful piece!! Is that beginner or advanced level???
that is advanced. I suggest you learn how to do Right angle weave first, next learn how to bezel and after that learn craw. When you got that all down you can do the cross with no problem at all :-) The red stones are the raw stitch (Right angle weave) beading4perfectionists : Beginners bracelet to match the ring beading tutorial, here is the tutorial on how to bezel a rivoli Beading4perfectionists : How to bezel an 18mm Swarovski Rivoli beading tutorial ( part 1), and here is the beginners CRAW stitch (Cubic Right Angle Weave) Beading4perfectionists : Cubic Right Angle Weave (CRAW) basic stitch bracelet beading tutorial
When you say "an Arm Span" ~ are you speaking about One Arm (about a Meter) or from one hand to the other across your body? (I figured out your ringer-tip to elbow meant about 38 Centimeters for me.. ) Thanks.. Love your Explanations & Clam Voice.
Oops, read your answer to another new Beader... Sorry .. Tip to Tip it is...For me that is 1 1/2 Meters . . As a Short person, I will add to that.. LOL . .
hello. I love your tutorials. you really explain how to do it easy. however when I do the pattern my bead sections do not overlap each other. they are all like the very last section of the bracelet where they can flop together. what am I doing wrong? thanks for any advice on this.
I know... isn't that annoying? I thought at first it was just me being my usual nitpicking self but I heard so many remarks that people love that I worked that out :-)
How about chain mail or macrame? I've been searching for something in the male jewellery and those are the options I've come up with. Gianna your macrame bracelet was gorgeous but there must be something a bit more masculine around. I've checked out the paracord style bracelets, which can have large hole beads attached. I'm experimenting.
they are fun to make aren't they. if you like to share your creation with other beaders you're more than welcome to join me on my facebookpage, just look for gianna zimmerman or beading4perfectionists, one or the other will lead you there ;-)
Hi and love all your videos; but could you tell me approximately how long is an "arm span" for the fireline? You went off camera view, and I couldn't see how you were measuring it out...(I thought it might be about 30" or so, but I hate getting nearly all the way through a project, to find out I don't have enough beading thread available to finish it).
yup I did 2 variations on a necklace on my advanced channel (pictures only) look for "beading4perfectionis" without "ts"at the end, and you will be on my advanced channel, check the video's there :-)
tried chainmail... I don't have the patience lol. I'm just not very good at male jewelery... Only thing I can come up with it shambala and that's basically it. Sorry Lyn. Maybe you want to think about making your own tuts with male jewelery? I know I'd welcome them cause I would love to make my hubby some...
well I still need to teach myself macrame a little better and I'm planning on getting in to soutache... But they will be on a different channel :-) So much to learn and so little time in 2013 :-)
I just sorta wrote instructions for the flat spiral instructions as I'm a senior and memory fails me. I love the pearl earrings and wondered if you made written instructions for these I could download?
I'm so happy you answered. These are the Victorian Wedding pearl earrings. What are the square tops as it was something I'd never heard of and do you have written instructions on your jewelry. These are sweet earrings and I'm anxious to start on the flat spiril
no most patterns I made so far are separate from my channel tutorials but some have been done though, You can check under the video in the description area for my etsy links
hey, i absolutely love how this bracelet looks, i have made one but everytime i pick it up to put it on my wrist it wants to curl around into an actual spiral :( what am i doing wrong? beading it too tightly?
I started beading 3 months ago due to your wonderful tutorials. They are so professional that I never have a problem following them. This has become my new past-time. My biggest problem is deciding on colours because beads are beautiful. Its like going to a candy store. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Guess you moved in to the advanced level Harriet, congrats on doing that in 3 months :-)
You're funny. No way advanced. You're the professional not me. Just having an enjoyable past time. You're one of the very best. Dankeschon.
nono, when beading 3 month after never beading before and doing the above, no matter if you do other peoples tuts, you have just become advanced :-)
I like the tutorial for this bracelet with just the written words, but was glad to find this one. You have such a pleasant voice, it makes it relaxing to follow your instructions. Love the bracelet, but too tired tonight, so I'll do it in the morning. Looks easy enough after watching twice, and will watch while working on it. Thank you for great tutorials.

Your tutorial. Is by far the best I've ever watched . Fabulous 👌
Thank you so much you are indeed a wonderful teacher and so kind to share your skills. I am new to beading but find your instructions, patience and skill are making it possible for me to follow. I'm home in Scotland at the moment but go back to Luanda, Angola in January (my husband's job) and hope to pass what I've learnt to others.

Thank you so much - you are indeed a very kind lady, bless you!
Now that's a great reason for beading and paying it forward to those less lucky than we are ;-) More power to you and the expat ladies Janette
I am a complete newbie to beading/jewellery making, but just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your tutorial (first one I watched). Thank you :)
You don't sound silly at all! You talk so we understand better & I love how you sound, but yeah you sound like him! Maybe artists sound alike :) I never tried myself in here! I love this tutorial, yeah & people love the look of this bracelet! I do them in many colors-TY

Some people just share their kindness and this lady certainly does - thank you so very much
YOu're welcome Janette :-)

Go for it Sharon!! :-)
Thank you, again! I ended up using black pearls. I am delighted with the results and am working on another one in a different color combination. You have a new follower! 💕

hahaha I was asked to become a "bedroom" voice before, but not for kids... I declined LOL
Vaiva Margo I was thinking the same thing. A very soothing voice, much like the painter, Bob Ross.
I have just completed this. Just got to do the end bit. As a beginner Im so enthusiastic at how its turned out. Thanks for a great tut :)
I love watching your tutorial , never really try beading one. Look like completed. BUT!!Before the end of the year ,I hope I can make one..Keep the tutorial coming... you are a very good teacher..Thank you for sharing your talent unselfishly..God Bless.
I just finished this one today and it's lovelier in person. I did change the clasp to a beaded one and I had to anchor the swirls as the sides flopped over when I had the bracelet on. Thank you for your generous time and tutorials.
yes most pieces are more grgeous than the camera will be able to show. the Angel project on the advanced page is a perfect example of that one :-)
I love this bracelet - I have now made 3 of them with plans to make more. I watched the video before I knew there was a previous on - but I totally was able to do this and I am new to beading. You are great at instructions.
Awesome I'm guessing christmas presents? :-)
Love this! Absolutely lovely. Something a bride would be proud to wear on her wedding day.
Thank you so much for this video. I've made the bracelet about six times now, with a variety of combinations of beads (several times had to take it apart and re-do), and only now feel that I've truly mastered it.

you're welcome :-)
Korissa Blackett
Love it will start mine now !! So nice that you are here if I have any problems.... Thank You for the GREAT teaching !!!!!
maybe not right away, movers will be here tomorrow so if you get stuck it may be a bit before I return but I will return ;-)
Thank God you are a perfectionist because I have made this bracelet twice now and hated them because of the end flipping thing. Now that I have found you, the problem is solved. Thank you very much. Great video. I'm an new subscriber and have turned on my bell. :)
I made this bracelet twice, in different colors. I just love them, can't believe I made them. thank you

Thank you, I learned another way, but I always had the side beads (seed, bicone) flopping around. I am so glad you showed how to secure the ends.
I just done this bracelet and love it very much. Thank you for your time and post for us to follow.
I appreciated very much.
Beste Gianna, You are real perfectionists! Heel veel dank voor voor deze tutorial.Super!
Blij dat je hem leuk vind Luba :-)

Hi Cindy. I have a combine beading needle pack I buy in the neadby craftstore. They are different length and have different size needle eyes but for the love of me I don't know what sizes they are. Anything that will get me though a bead makes me happy :-) I used 2x armspan wide (about 2 meters)
Beautiful bracelet and excellent instructions. Thank you.
you could check on etsy to see if this is available, it's a pretty standard stitch i just perfectionised the endings a bit so it doesn't haang loose
Thank you for the video version! You are a very good teacher.
hi. i;ve done many of these. only i tread on my jumpring before closing the 5 beads at the end of the bracelet., so now i dont have to open up the jumpring first. just a little tweek. but works better for me. thanks for a great tut, and happy beading ,)
Thank you soo much for the information. I am going to learn the stitches Exactly in the order you told me. Thank you also for giving me the exact videos to watch. Very much appreciated. Will let you know how everything goes?
what does "beading like this" mean... :-) I'm curious... what sort of beading or how were you beading before. Glad I was able to inspire you. Yes the blaf spiral as well as the capricho are the two most favorite bracelet stitches out there. I will get to the capricho in due time :-) First things first :-)
Very much enjoyed yall's tutorial, beautiful bracelet. Tfs.
Thank you! You make it very easy and clear to understand! I will DEFINATELY be doing this
Love your tutorials! Can you give me an idea on how to turn this into a necklace/earrings set? I don't want a choker, but would like to find an easy adaptation for a necklace/earrings set to go with the bracelet. Keep bringing us new stuff on the backup, I do much better when I watch you and hear you too!
I don't mean to bug you but every time I make a flat spiral bracelet I think of you each one I make is more beautiful than the other and it greatly because of the technique that you have shared with us I am most grateful I am in the process of repairing two and I would love to show them to you is there a facebook page that I can access.
yes l;ook for beading4perfectionists on facebook Latisa, and compliments never bug me ;-)
Beautiful Bracelet, Thank You for sharing this with us!!! What kind of needle are you using?? I have trouble getting a beading needle through 11 seed beads..any suggestions??
LOVELY! I am totally new to this, and really want to learn; I love how you explain each step so thoroughly. TWO questions I have is 1) how much TOTAL length of thread do you use per bracelet? And 2), what kind & size of needle do you use? Thanks! -- Cindy
Brilliant video. I have never made a bracelet before and found this easy to follow. I only wish you had completed the video with adding the clasp and made us visit a link. I think it should of flowed through from beginning to end. Not a complaint though just a preference. Great tutorial
When I made this video I didn't earn my unlimited time from youtube yet Sara. I think I had about 20 minutes to make my video.
B4Pbakup looks cool.im just planning to start and ur tutorial seems easy.wish u can share some ideas to familiarize wid d materials..tnx lot! tnx for ur talent!
what would you like to know Tonet? :-)
Your work is amazing, do you sell on etsy? Look forward to many more tutorials. Best place to buy crystals and pearls? Any tips. Bless you you're an inspiration and natural teacher.
Yes Wendy you can find my. I now started selling every time I make an item for the tube I will put it up for sale in my etsy shop and I have an etsy shop with 2 dollars patterns to raise funds for a good cause :-) Here is my Physical item shop www.etsy.com/shop/b4pbakup and here are my patterns www.etsy.com/shop/B4perfectionists
thank you so much for sharing your talent. I always LOVED beading just never khw how too.so GREATFULL.
Claudia Dludlu welcome to the wonderful world of beading :-)
so inspired! your voice is so soothing too! :)
So beautiful. I did it and it looks so nice . Thanks
Wonderful congratulations Calibermax :-)
Mary try getting some thinner fireline. I have 0.10 mm I got from the fishingstore, it's thin but strong :-) Maybe that will work with them tiny holes
This is lovely and your tutorial is very well done. I wrote down the items you suggested, however, I don't know what size beading needle you are using. What do you suggest?
I have 10 from John james YT
difficult one.. Shambala bracelet comes to mind but that's about it. men don't wear swarovski... you could make a cuff with a ladder stitch but it's an awful lot of work... :-)
I made this with you and it turned out beautiful. thank you. Wish i could upload it to you
you can put the fb link here of the picture :-)
that's the first time anyone said that. Does it break while you are beading or does it break while wearing? And are you using Swarovski and miyuki or are you using other material to make this?
Thats a great tip, I have struggled with the ends, now I know what to do, Thank you x x
I really like the way you teach!
thank you Tara :-)
You're welcome, glad you were able to manage. If your thread didn't go through anymore at least you know your loop is secure :-)
Hi, I love all of your designs especially the necklaces. Do you have written instructions on them as well? Thank you!
Thank you for the tutorial it is a very pretty bracelet have a wonderful day
thank you very much for your videos!!! i make it, though i'm beginner. your explanations are wonderful!!!
Hi Gianna..after watching this am working on a flat spiral but with (think what are called) rondelle beads..may not be as good as this one but would like to share with you..
agt 1.10 it says 2x armspan wide... so just grab the thread and mesure by opening your arms as wide as you can :-)
i love your tutorials,i learned a lot with you,thank you verry much
you're welcome Mira :-)
Thank you. I love your vidros. You are very thorough with how you do them. Thanks:) Im so excited to learn how to make that white cross. Thats a beautiful piece!!
Is that beginner or advanced level???
that is advanced. I suggest you learn how to do Right angle weave first, next learn how to bezel and after that learn craw. When you got that all down you can do the cross with no problem at all :-) The red stones are the raw stitch (Right angle weave) beading4perfectionists : Beginners bracelet to match the ring beading tutorial, here is the tutorial on how to bezel a rivoli Beading4perfectionists : How to bezel an 18mm Swarovski Rivoli beading tutorial ( part 1), and here is the beginners CRAW stitch (Cubic Right Angle Weave) Beading4perfectionists : Cubic Right Angle Weave (CRAW) basic stitch bracelet beading tutorial
When you say "an Arm Span" ~ are you speaking about One Arm (about a Meter) or from one hand to the other across your body? (I figured out your ringer-tip to elbow meant about 38 Centimeters for me.. ) Thanks.. Love your Explanations & Clam Voice.
Oops, read your answer to another new Beader... Sorry .. Tip to Tip it is...For me that is 1 1/2 Meters . . As a Short person, I will add to that.. LOL . .
f Schoenhuth yet again, Another new beader,.....my arm span is over 2 metres, this is going to be some size bracelet when it's finished....LOL
hello. I love your tutorials. you really explain how to do it easy. however when I do the pattern my bead sections do not overlap each other. they are all like the very last section of the bracelet where they can flop together. what am I doing wrong? thanks for any advice on this.
are you using the exact same materials? If not that could be the reason.
I know... isn't that annoying? I thought at first it was just me being my usual nitpicking self but I heard so many remarks that people love that I worked that out :-)
depends on your wrist size, I never count, I just make sure I have enough in the house to start and finish a project
Thx for showing me how to get the floppy out of this bracelet, love it , Marie Bowles, mobile al.
Thank you Lynn... getting ready for christmas?
How about chain mail or macrame? I've been searching for something in the male jewellery and those are the options I've come up with.
Gianna your macrame bracelet was gorgeous but there must be something a bit more masculine around. I've checked out the paracord style bracelets, which can have large hole beads attached. I'm experimenting.
glad you like it Carol :-)
Looks great and very easy to make,many thanks for the video:)
Is this the channel for beginner beaders? So i can learn all the basic stitches?
yes ebony
they are fun to make aren't they. if you like to share your creation with other beaders you're more than welcome to join me on my facebookpage, just look for gianna zimmerman or beading4perfectionists, one or the other will lead you there ;-)
Hi and love all your videos; but could you tell me approximately how long is an "arm span" for the fireline? You went off camera view, and I couldn't see how you were measuring it out...(I thought it might be about 30" or so, but I hate getting nearly all the way through a project, to find out I don't have enough beading thread available to finish it).
hold thread in one hand now open arms wide like you want to hug someone :-)
Ok cool, and thanks for your quick response :-)
Thanks Sue. I have no doubt your Christmas presents will be apreciated very much :-)
matching necklaces are on the advanced channel dreeves. I called them "flat spiral with a twist" :-)
yup I did 2 variations on a necklace on my advanced channel (pictures only) look for "beading4perfectionis" without "ts"at the end, and you will be on my advanced channel, check the video's there :-)
tried chainmail... I don't have the patience lol. I'm just not very good at male jewelery... Only thing I can come up with it shambala and that's basically it. Sorry Lyn. Maybe you want to think about making your own tuts with male jewelery? I know I'd welcome them cause I would love to make my hubby some...
well I still need to teach myself macrame a little better and I'm planning on getting in to soutache... But they will be on a different channel :-) So much to learn and so little time in 2013 :-)
I just sorta wrote instructions for the flat spiral instructions as I'm a senior and memory fails me. I love the pearl earrings and wondered if you made written instructions for these I could download?
+Marjorie Byers Which pearl earrings Marjorie, I have done several.
I'm so happy you answered. These are the Victorian Wedding pearl earrings. What are the square tops as it was something I'd never heard of and do you have written instructions on your jewelry. These are sweet earrings and I'm anxious to start on the flat spiril
no most patterns I made so far are separate from my channel tutorials but some have been done though, You can check under the video in the description area for my etsy links
Hi really love your designs. I'm new to beading. For this flat beading tutorial which thread did you use.
fireline size 0.006
Are you reaming your pearls? Even glass pearls can have sharp edges and should be reamed before stringing. That is one possible cause.
hey, i absolutely love how this bracelet looks, i have made one but everytime i pick it up to put it on my wrist it wants to curl around into an actual spiral :( what am i doing wrong? beading it too tightly?
I don't know I'd have to see a picture. Did you use exactly the same materials in beads and thread?
all the same beads and thread apart from the middle bead, i didn't have any pearls so i used 6mm bicones instead
that may well be the problem, a bicone is a different shape...
i will try it with pearls next week and see what happens then
Arron Ewer good luck :-)
