I have seen these done a few different ways and the ones I have made the string is just never tight enough and one side has the strings at a slant and one straight, your way solves that problem and feels so much more secure! Thank you for sharing this! Need to pick up that thread burner from you guys on payday for sure!
Thank you for sharing this video. I have tried different ways of laddering but I am never satisfied with how tight the beads are. This method seems to be more secure. I can't wait to try it out!
Hi Kelley, Thank you for watching our video. We sell tray inserts on beadshop.com. Just look under studio essentials then design boards and displays. Thank you Thank you
I just made my first laddered bracelet and I actually bought a kit for making a triple - wrap bracelet! It turned out OK, but I too wouldn't recommend trying to make one of these the first time you try making a laddered bracelet. Definitely make a single wrap bracelet to begin with!!! LOL 😅!! As I said, mine was OK, but, at one point, the thread broke and I thought I'd wrecked it. Luckily I was able to tie the thread back together, but I had to use glue, so I'm not sure how strong the bracelet is! Love from Amanda in Australia ❤️ xox

Dear Stefani, with the leather cord you really need to get the length right before you begin making your bracelet. It's very easy to do, just start by making a single wrap bracelet and then you will only need to work out the circumference of your wrist and then double that number and add another 6 inches, for making the clasp. Say your wrist is 7 inches around, then double that to 14 inches and add another 6 inches, so you have 20 inches in all. Which is 50 cm in metric measurements. Then, you fold the cord in half and put a button on the cord, then place the button in the middle of it. You will have plenty of cord to add the beads to. I hope this helps you, from Amanda in Australia.
I love making these bracelets using bicone crystals. Is this KO thread strong enough and durable enough for crystal bicones because of the sharp edges especially on swarski crystals.

Thanks for the video, needed help with the new thread. I will never, ever run out again! It's taken me a very frustrating hour but I have it now!
Hi,
You can definitely use a loom. If you look at our newest video we teach you how to make your own loom using a design tray.
Thank you!

Hi there , what happens if we don’t use enough leather for laddering ? Can you add length?
Dear Stefani, with the leather cord you really need to get the length right before you begin making your bracelet.

I always follow your tutorial: very good. Thank you. but I have a question: if I'm wrong wire length how do you add it at work? is it possible?
for beginners would it help or hurt if i used a beading loom.. ?
Where can I get a tray/frame similar to yours?
