How to braid seed beads Videos

where did you get your pliers to bend the crimp end? They look different from regular ones.

Can you tell me what a rocaille bead is and what it looks like please

Where can I find the seed needs you have in your video?

There are several things that would make this bracelet much easier: Instead of cuttings two separate strands for the center cords, cut one that's twice the length then fold it in half. Use the folded end for the loop that closes the bracelet. Before doing any knotting, try the loop over the button to make a good fit. Then start the knotting just below that point. Instead of cutting two separate strands for the outside (knotting) cords, cut one that's twice the length then fold it in half. Put this center point under the two center cords and tie a single knot around the center cords. If you're following my suggestion above, do this right under the loop. Then start the square knotting. In the video, talking about S's and reverse S's was very confusing until I realized it was just square knots, and I've been doing macrame for over 40 years! When I taught macrame, I was surprised at the number of people who couldn't keep straight which part of the square knot to do next -- right over left or left over right. But everyone's mind works differently. So I would wrap a small piece of masking tape onto the end of only one of the knotting cords. Then they had to remember only one thing every time -- Tape on Top. So easy to remember and so easy to say. Many people never realize that the top cord always stays on top and the bottom cord always stays on the bottom for square knots. Hope these ideas help. Happy beading!

Have you tried using 3/0 king beads?

love all your videos :) Question is your beading needles ....beading or sewing needles? All I can find is Flexible beadjng needles at Michaels

Really useful video. I wish the UK had the great bead stores you have in the US. Thank you Aleshia. :)

Aleshia, please make a test swatch of both Myuiki Delicas and Toho Treasures to compare the sizes. I have found them not the same size although they LOOK the same size. It sometimes causes problems with sizing when you switch from one brand to another. The quality of the beads is the same.

You make it look easy, just like it is. I can feel the wax on your fingers.

Hi Gianna:) I have over stock of 4mm bi-cones. Would you recommend 2-1-2 on the seed bead count? or 3-1-3 with 4mm bi-cones? thnx ahead for any response:)! I love these netted bracelets, hoping to burn up some swarovski's on this..

I love your beads, I was wondering if I used a smaller pearl would this pattern still look good but less chunky???

yeah i did it, i will video it as soon as all my teenagers quit taking them! i didn't crimp, i knoted a ring into the knot and put the lobster clasp onto the ring. on the other side i looped the hemp through the ring. also i tied a full knot between beads, after the bead i did one side, then the other, then one side and the other, then another bead. video, probably tomorrow....
