This was so helpful! Thank you! Great video, quality instruction
Great tutorial and great inspiration. Will give it a whirl post haste! Thank you for sharing your expertise! Much aloha from Hawaii. ❤
We hope you enjoy making the bowls!
Thank you for the tip ❤
Happy to help!
I am flatening the thread with a plyer that works good too 👍
Yes, that's a great tip for slightly thicker threads : )
Thanks so much for sharing
Wow I was struggling for about 10 minutes to thread the needle. 😂 I looked this up now. And it worked the first time honestly 😮
Thank you for the comment. It is a game changer ! I use to dread threading a beading needle but now it's so easy. Not 100% but very close!

Hi Shirley, was there something we could help - Best Wishes Steph
I didn't know this magic tool exsisted, wouod have saved me many hours this year !😂 Will pop in and grab one soon
They do save a lot of time once you get use to them!
Thank you ❤
Love the idea but, that would send me into a sorting frenzy.🤣🤣❣️
Ha ha, we know exactly what you mean :D
wow! You did such an awesome job both explaining as you went along and close ups of the camera views.
Thank you, we hope you found it useful :)
Where can I get all this
Hi. There's a link in the video description with all the details and materials you need to make this. I hope this helps.
Amazon
@@annettez63 Thank you for the comment but we discourage people from buying from Amazon because of their high charges to sellers. Always buy direct when you can so you know your money is going to the people who are doing the work and not a trillion dollar, faceless corporation!
Thank you! Everyone has been requesting bracelets and I've had trouble tying them off. ❤
Hi, does this work with one piece of thread ie beaded necklace ?
Hello, Thank you for the question. Yes it will work just as well with one thread as it will with 2 or even more threads, depending on how many threads you can get through the hole in the hinge. The majority of necklaces made in our shop are single stranded necklaces and using these necklaces ends. I hope this helps.
Thank you I didn't know how I was doing I just cheated on my homework so that I don't wrong
Beautiful. Can you help me out? I am working with Miyuki beads and my thread keeps pulling off the needle. Is the eye of my needle too big please help. Keeping re-threading is not fun and I never get this earring done. I used the needles that pinch the thread but they are not good for these beads. Namaste, TYSM
Hi, you may find pulling more thread through the eye or starting with a longer piece of thread helpful. If you're using an appropriate sized needle (the eye can pass through the hole of the beads) the needle your using shouldn't make too much difference. It also comes with experience, the more you do the more comfortable you'll find the process. I hope you find this useful.
@@TheBeadShopNottinghamLimited I am pretty experienced. I don't have the package but I think this needle is a size too big when I purchase it. Size 10 and I may need 12. It's hard to see with your naked eye the difference between these two sizes. TY for the confirmation. Namaste,
Thank you! This is the best tutorial I've seen!
Thanks, we're glad you've found it helpful.
I received your kit today. One concern, the needle you provided didn’t go through many of the beads, but I used a smaller tapestry needle and was successful in making the bowl. I love this design and will be making more!!!
Thanks for letting us know. Some of the beads have been updated recently so I wonder if the holes are now slightly smaller… we’ll be doing some tests. Glad to hear you enjoyed it, they’re great fun to make. 😀
It worked in a second. Wow. Thank you very much
It is such a time saver isn't it! I have to admit the first I tried it took me several attempts but now I can do it first time nearly all of the time. Thank you for the comments! I am glad it worked for you.
thank uuuu

Yes we can offer 1-2-1 tuition via google meet. Feel free to email us at info@mailorder-beads.co.uk
Thanks so much for sharing this lovely, easy to make necklace, and for showing me how to properly use the necklace ends.
Hi Sue, Thank you for the lovely comment. We really appreciate it when customers take the time to let us know they find our videos useful!
Your "slow and steady" suggestion is the best for being able to make these earrings. I know I get a bit nervous while trying to maneuver wire, which makes me want to speed up, so remembering your bit of advice will surely help me. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Hi Sue, Thank you for the comment. When working with wire it is always a good idea to take it slow so you have more control. Don't let the wire bully you!
The lady in the clip is a lovely soul. And always greets you with a wonderful smile.
I would highly recommend this this needle. I bought a couple and the Bead shop is a great place to go for all you're jewelry repairs. You are greated by lovely ladies. Spread the word and let's put this place on the map peeps
thank you for this post, did not know you could do this, I'm old and I can not do the necklace anymore
So very pretty. I've been trying to convince myself that I would be able to make a lovely headband for quite awhile, this may be the project that will give me enough of a push to at least give it a go! Thank you for sharing.
Great tutorial! Thank you!!!!
Hi❤does this work with the size 0.4(string)
You probably wouldn't get 0.4mm string through the eye of a beading needle. However if you have an appropriate size needle for your thread this technique may well work for you. It does depend a lot of the type of thread. Beading thread is quite smooth which is a different texture to other threads (for example sewing thread has lots of tiny loose fibres along it, which can make it tricky to thread in this way). I hope this helps.
Thank you so much ❤❤❤
I’ve followed your directions to a T and the knot won’t hold the Stretch Magic labeled, 1mm/.039” diameter. Have you used this size? Can you tell me what other knot might work?
A surgeons knot, as mentioned below is similar and might hold better for you. It's the same as a reef knot, but on the second knot wrap around twice. Alternatively on thicker stretch magic elastic you could also use a crimp tube (size 3 should work), though you have to be very careful not to over squash the crimp as it can damage the elastic. I have had success using knots and crimps on stretch magic before. I hope this helps.
Thank you for your advice.
It didn't work 😭😔😭😔
Oh no, can I ask what type of thread and what size needle you were using?
THANK YOU!! 😊
Hello, thank you for posting this video this is exactly what I've been looking into for my necklace making! May I ask how secure the crimp beads are in the clasp when using nylon thread? I've seen online that it's not recommended, and I don't want to sell necklaces that have a risk of slipping though if this makes sense? Thank you!!
Crimp tubes are better than crimp beads for this. It comes with practice and experience, squashing hard enough to grip securely, but not so hard that the thread is damaged. Some people add a little glue, but I don't usually do that (for risk of getting glue everywhere). I hope that's helpful.
@@TheBeadShopNottinghamLimited yes it is thank you so much!!
What type of pliers are you using please ?
Hello! We use a pair of chain nose pliers for holding, positioning and crimping the crimp bead/crimp tube. I hope that helps! Many thanks Robin
Thank you for the great tutorial.👍✨
Hi fun_girl12, Thank you for taking time to comment. I hope this will help inspire you to do some knotting!
Mine didn't work.
Hi, where did you struggle? I'm sure we can help you. It's a tried and tested project so I'm sure we can get you back on the right track. Thanks
This was the only one that worked for me....THANK YOU KINDLY!!!!
Thankyou so much. Yes will do it the way you describe.
This felt looks thick. Is there a specific type you use?
Hi yes we do, they are pre-cur with the holes ready punched. Available here www.mailorder-beads.co.uk/shop/felt-bowl-discs/ I hope this helps.
Lovely 🥰
I really like the look of these. Simple yet elegant. Thank you for sharing your work.
Thank you for your comment. If you do make these we would love to see any adaptions you make. The good thing about this design is that every leaf made will be unique just like the real things!
Although you can certainly do as you have by creating a circular pattern and zipping it in, I find I get a much rounder top when I go from the outside to the inside. Then there is no need to zip, however, great tutorial, thanks for the lovely work!
Thank you! The top of our wooden needle cases are flat, so I was trying to avoid getting a rounded top for this one. I also quite enjoy the process of zipping peyote stitch together too - very satisfying :D
This doesn’t work with the 1.5 mm
Hello! We find this technique works with all Stretch Magic - the principle remains the same no matter how thick the elastic. Have you tried giving the section you are knotting a gentle stretch before you begin? This makes the elastic more supple and should help.
I’m having the same problem with the 1.5. No matter how tight I cinch it the knot slides apart.
This was so helpful! Finally got around to fixing a beaded bracelet and wanted to make sure I got the right knot - this was perfect!
Great!
thank you so much
Thank you
Love love theses what kind of string do you use. What is it called with the ends like that. I for sure will be making these
Hi there, the thread is called Supplemax- it's a clear plastic thread that is very sturdy for threading beads. It's a clear plastic which can be tricky to see, so all we've done on the ends is coloured them in with permanent pen. This makes them easier to see! Hope that helps
Oh I love this bead!!❤️ I thought it was going to be complicated but it’s so easy and versatile!TFS.🥰🥰💕💕🐶🐶❤️🇬🇧👍
Glad you like it!
very pretty Thankyou
Thank you! 😊
