2 Bracelets & A Necklace Using Slider Clasps 2 Different Ways!

[@floralnut10]

Bead reaming should be done in water and it will work better. Also helps prevent the bead from overheating and cracking. 🙂

[@valeriewestmoreland4010]

JEWEL school has a KZbin video on how to use that reamer. They did it in water so it doesn't get hot and easier getting it to go through. Nice bracelets.

[@elizabetholsen2914]

I have a Dremel that is much more powerful. You should be reaming the beads under water especially pearls and gemstones to keep them from cracking. God bless you Wendy.❤️

[@TheCreativeDork5]

Buy a dremel and a diamond reamer. I use that to clean my lampwork beads and it's game changer. Also, do it in water

[@cleatishoskins8270]

I agree this should be done under water. I just fill a small container , hold the bead under warter with just the bit portion of reamer in the water. This keeps bead and reamer from overheating which can crack the bead as has been stated already.

[@cathymike7559]

Very pretty nice pieces Wendy. As Jackie said the bead and the drill bit only they need to be under water while drilling.

[@steellj1956]

Wendy instead of telling you that you need to use water ( gee wiz ) I’m going to tell you I loved all that you made today!❤️

[@hopeful2165]

Wonderful video, just a word of warning that some gemstones' dust can be toxic, so double check to stay safe 😊

[@Maria.D.Velazquez]

So pretty. I love the sliders. I have some, but I haven’t used then yet.

[@andreagibson7099]

NICE I LOVE THOSE BRACELETS

[@nativeandindigenuscraftcre433]

The buster shot was two weeks of on and off so it was not good but now that I feeling better doing more videos on my channel now

[@yomama8873]

[@commanded2wait]

That is so pretty... I am about to order some chain super gorgeous... thanks for sharing🥰

[@shelleywebb2542]

Love it all lady great job and beautiful chain❤️❤️❤️

[@JoAnnBrownBright]

The sliders are a game changer! I’ve seen them for sale on The Bead Gallery in Honolulu! I used to find them at Michael’s but not anymore.

[@barbra429]

Do they tarnish?

[@carolcribby8642]

FYI. When using a bead reamer you have to do both sides of the holes. Future reference

[@thisbeadedlife]

I did : )

[@marycartwright8339]

I am really late watching your video but I have a reamer just like yours and mine said to do it in water. I just either keep dipping the bead or stone or both in water.

[@jackiemalik8758]

Love the bracelets. Beautiful!😊

[@kathyryan4153]

Hi Wendy, How long is leather on the gemstone bracelet?...also, do you have a link for the sliders?...TFS

[@lorrainebecchetti4865]

Wendy, I have been a fan of yours for quite a few years, a long time but I never ordered anything from you. Do you have a tray of different types of stones everything you need for making your beautiful jewelry just like you just did. I would love to order these from you. Can you please explain what I need to make this beautiful bracelet and necklace which is so beautiful. Love everything you do.

[@lightbulbnirvana]

Hi Wendy, What a bummer about the reamer! Do you think if you ground the bead and reamer using water that that might help, kind of like wet sanding? It seems like it's going to burn out your little motor without the water or some sort of lubricant. I really love using the slider for a necklace as well as a bracelet. Can't wait to see your craft room tour as well! Thanks for your post!

[@marionsneddon7821]

A Dremel is much better. Use under water. You can change attatchments and use it for polishing as well.

[@nativeandindigenuscraftcre433]

Hi Wendy thanks for the video sorry about not commenting on your videos for a while I have been busy and last month sick on and off with the covid buster shot and good luck with your videos

[@nadineglomboski1852]

What is the name of this chain on your website? Would love to make a few bracelets for my sisters.

[@tishsmiddy71]

Lovely your video, thank you 🤟🏻❤️💋

[@brendaboles3875]

Lovely!!❤

[@sandrabutchko8202]

I have the same problem with that same same bead reamer I am not sure if it is me or the design of the tool

[@barbra429]

Do the slider clasps tarnish?

[@emmiecosta8680]

What a beautiful set . Are you going to make earrings ?

[@barbra429]

Do they tarnish fast?

[@nadineglomboski1852]

Wendy what is the sliding bead called on your site. Ordering tomorrow.

[@thisbeadedlife]

I don't have it for sale on my site. I ordered them from Amazon. Just search for silicone slider clasp and it will bring up several options for you : )

[@fungirl809]

Where did you buy the sliders in bulk…

[@irissanchez156]

Very beautiful pieces. Do you have any of the sliders in your shop?

[@thisbeadedlife]

No I don't have them. I ordered them from Amazon

[@irissanchez156]

@@thisbeadedlife thank you. I will check Amazon and buy some. I'd love to make a necklace like the one you made. Beautiful!!

[@thisbeadedlife]

They come in a few different sizes. I used the one with the 2mm hole on that necklace but if you want to use thinner chain, youd want to get the ones with a smaller hole

[@barbra429]

​@@thisbeadedlifeCan you share the link to the specific ones you bought?

[@donitafichter8298]

How well do those clasps hold up? Will the silicone inside eventually just wear down and the string or beading wire just slide through when you don’t want it to? Thanks!

[@thisbeadedlife]

This is the first time I've used them so time will tell

[@donitafichter8298]

@@thisbeadedlife oh ok thank you! I’ll keep watching! You are awesome by the way. Thank you for sharing your lovely projects! Merry Christmas!

[@barbra429]

​@wendyscraftingHow well did they hold up?

[@gloriastocks4483]

You are supposed to ream beads in water.

[@jackiejones9116]

Hello you need to drill in water.

[@100acresintasmaniaoffthegr7]

❤

[@tishsmiddy71]

Don’t you want to use water or oil ?

[@sherrybuit417]

Hello everyone

[@kajunheart871]

Just a suggestion. Read comments above. It’s absolutely RUDE to tell her over and over to use water with the bead reamer. Be Kind . Btw. Love this idea! I need to make some last minute quick gifts for Christmas. 😀

[@tishsmiddy71]

Your doing ok but I’d watch Sara’ or someone’s video on bead reaming and use water so I would not break them !

[@annadion4134]

Very pretty. Not sure I’d like the ends of the bracelet bumping my arms all day. I’d feel like something was crawling on me.
