[@nekesajudith5282]

Thanks so much. Where do I find letter beads

[@prettylifegirls]

We sell them on our shop! shop.prettylifegirls.com/collections/craft-kits

[@kunalthanawala9481]

It was such a helpful video to understand so many ways to finish the bracelet❤.....Can you also mention what thread are you using for the bracelets other than stretchable ones. Also on stretchable cord what size should we take?

[@prettylifegirls]

Hello! I'm so glad you found it helpful! For the non-stretchy bracelets, I used a waxed cord. When I make bracelets, I usually start with about a foot of cord so I have plenty to work with!

[@IAMMUSLIMBUTPREPPY]

This really helped me alot this is totally recommende for beginners I really found this help full when I got my beads this really really helped so much❤❤

[@tigistkittle7053]

Thank you so much 😊

[@Milymilz04]

What type of cords do you use?

[@user-dj2zg9uq6v]

Thar really helps thank you for doing this video I subscribed to your channel and liked

[@LaurenMcGovern]

No matter how I knot it, they always break when I try to wear them. I have tried different string and it’s still happening. Can someone tell me what string is being used in the video ??

[@ritaknitsall4383]

Thanks for the video! What kind of cord you used, please????

[@prettylifegirls]

We recommend Stretch Magic! www.amazon.com/dp/B001PZB57G?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzsamspend-20&creativeASIN=B001PZB57G&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.1HT8P1QSJM77G&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_qv_asin

[@erin_shaftoxx]

For the stretch bracket basic knot u could also use a layer of clear nail polish

[@prettylifegirls]

Yes! Clear nail polish works great.

[@Daughter_of_Aphrodite1]

Than k

[@officialcampent]

whats the best strain of string for clay beads the strains i use to tie well

[@prettylifegirls]

Clear elastic works great with these beads because the ends don't fray. Since the clear can be slippery, we recommend using a dot of clear nail polish on the knot to keep it secure!

[@cactus7754]

Very helpful, can you do a how to finish a bracelet using the hook thread please

[@zapcoaching]

Nice!

[@elitecaterers5539]

Amazing

[@definitelynotgenie]

Wow! However, my string is quite bad so beads keep falling off and my bracelet keeps being ruined, may I ask you what string you used for the first one? :)

[@prettylifegirls]

If you want clear elastic, we recommend Stretch Magic! www.amazon.com/dp/B001PZB57G?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzsamspend-20&creativeASIN=B001PZB57G&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.1HT8P1QSJM77G&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_qv_asin

[@definitelynotgenie]

@@prettylifegirls thank you so much!

[@christinesellers7155]

How difficult is it to secure a bracelet with crimp beads & a lobster claw clasp for a beginner (aka me)? Also, can you use any kind of pliers for this?

[@prettylifegirls]

You can totally do it - it's not hard! And yes, any pliers will work just fine!

[@misticarosello8221]

What kind of string are you using in this video? The one in my kits won’t stay tied. They’re more like a stretchy fishing line.

[@prettylifegirls]

If you use clear elastic, we recommend using a dot of clear nail polish on the knot to keep it secure!

[@Heidi-Beth]

I can't make knots very well 😢 i always mess them up. FAIL Thank you, great video.

[@shrimpyblogger3107]

Hi pretty Girls❤ I have a question what is the name of the elastic thing that you put the beads on.. I want to try making beads bracelets too but I don’t know what’s the name of the thing that we put the beads .

[@prettylifegirls]

The string is elastic cord - Stretch Magic is the best brand! There is a link to it in the description.

[@Ariyah11]

If you don’t have pliers I recommend using scissors and go slowly:)

[@pomalescaridad3082]

Love your videos..

[@prettylifegirls]

Thank you!

[@berenicedennis7520]

What size are the clam beads?

[@prettylifegirls]

Check out the links in the video description!

[@KiwibirdNZ]

I tried the clasp with clamshell knot covers, and my entire bracelet broke and fell apart. The clasp and clamshell totally fell right off. Do you have any tips that could help next time?

[@prettylifegirls]

Oh no! So sorry to hear that - and we've been there. We always have jewelry glue on hand to make sure knots are extra secure. So you might add a dot of glue to the knots before closing the clamshell!

[@KiwibirdNZ]

@@prettylifegirls ok, thank you! But if we don’t have jewelry glue, is there anything else you recommend?

[@vraxle_YT]

​@@KiwibirdNZany super glue smth

[@user-nm6zz3ej4u]

Can you show us how we do a flower?

[@prettylifegirls]

waw

[@MultiHabo0osh]

The name of the string you used?

[@prettylifegirls]

Clear elastic cord. Stretch Magic is what we recommend. There is a link to buy it in the description!

[@sunnyq-yc4yy]

tried the adjustable 3 times and sadly never worked when i tried to adjust it

[@prettylifegirls]

Oh no! Would the strings not slide? Did you use any glue?

[@sunnyq-yc4yy]

@The Pretty Life Girls the strings didnt slide and no glue was used idk why it didnt work bc i tried to slightly change things like which side i used 1st or over instead of under after doing exactly what u did didnt work

[@karenk3339]

Excellent. Efficient video.

[@janakapriyadarshana3396]
