I have been scouring the internet for weeks searching for how-to videos on pearl knotting so I could learn myself. I have watched well over 100 videos and yours is by far the best! I can't tell you how helpful it has been. Unlike most of the other videos, this one describes exactly what you are doing step-by-step, has great video quality which is hard to come by, and goes at a great pace too (some others are just so fast you can't tell what is even going on!). A million times---THANK YOU!!!!

The best video on the internet for stringing pearls. There are other videos that deliver the same instruction but in my opinion the beadaholic videos on pearl stringing are by far the clearest and the most succinct. Thank you to Beadaholics for making these.

[@pattimurphyrocks]

Wow, you are really good at demonstrating and I sincerely appreciate your commitment to excellence

[@tdivadesigns]

Great video, slow enough for me to follow the steps, clear. A great presentation. Thanks. Can't wait to try.

[@IAMGiftbearer]

I've always found this technique confusing but this video makes it easier to understand.

[@glossydemarco358]

Excellent! Love the black silk thread too. Thank you!

[@eleonoracolimodiodebolivar653]

Thank you. Best explanation I have seen so far. Good teacher.....

[@elizabethtailor111]

Thank you Beadaholique! This is the best video series available on this subject. I've been on pearl-dedicated websites that did not have ths info, or know where to find it, although in forums the question of how to do this was being asked.

[@monellerichmond7208]

Excellent pair of videos, very detailed and clear. Special thanks for info about battery-operated bead driller, without which this is near impossible unless you are using very fine thread.

[@evesalinas2120]

Very easy to understand. Thanks. Just restrung my pearl bracelet. It came out beautifully!!

[@barbarakolator3354]

Very good, clear concise and easy to follow. I agree with the comments below.

[@berryevers6604]

Hele duidelijke en rustige uitleg.

[@loralieisa]

Thank you!!! This could not be any clearer. . I like the black thread combination with the pearls too.

[@mspw]

Very good explanation emphasizing various finer points. Thank you.

[@Michael95350]

Really liked your videa. You spoke clearly and slowly

[@teriguidry3638]

Excellent! Easy to understand and see. Thank you!!

[@brendaikerd2427]

Very clearly explained and demonstrated, thank you

[@carinasoria8445]

Thanks for the information I love it

[@miewmiewminitinivimpikitch8157]

[@beadaholique]

Happy to help, let us know if you have any questions!

[@joannewton]

Very clearly demonstrated and explained - thank you.

[@komisobaba]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and time with us.!

[@beadaholique]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@sahira2525]

You saved my life. Thank you very much ❤

[@beadaholique]

So glad you found this helpful! Hope your jewelry is turning out great!

[@CherryBlossomHill]

I love this, thank you! Sort of a trade off though having to snip the thread at the end without being able to hide it but I doubt that it’s noticeable to anyone but the maker if that.

[@beadaholique]

It is a bit of a trade-off but with practice and sharp cutters you can get it almost invisible. It's tough to see exactly how close Wyatt is able to cut it in this older video, but having seen him work in person the results he gets are fantastic.

[@ValerieHess]

Very helpful video but the background conversation was a bit distracting. But I was very glad to find this useful video. Thank you.

[@neferirina777]

Thank you so much! Great lesson!

[@evelyncutler7164]

Thank you!

[@irame5701]

Thank you so much.

[@floridamagill5184]

Hello thank you so much.

[@tamarasevastyanova9471]

I very appreciate your demonstrating this useful technique, but question is where I can buy french wire in order to connect my box clasp with pearl strand. My efforts visiting such stores as Joanne and Michaels do not get me the successful result.

[@beadaholique]

I am happy to confirm we have French wire on our website. Here is a link: beadaholique.com/search?type=product&q=french+wire

[@marlyvarandas]

Please, about gage of the french wire, what is the greatest? The 6 or the 9? And what is the needle you are using? I want to buy. Thanks

[@Jana-mq3yk]

Thank you wasn't sure how to use.😂

[@beadaholique]

Glad it helped!

[@DianaMoon11428]

Do you have instructions for making a 3 strand pearl bracelet or necklace?

[@beadaholique]

Yes we do! Here is something that could help you out: www.beadaholique.com/how-to-make-a-braided-pearl-necklace.html. Or you can see this video for a different style: www.beadaholique.com/how-to-make-a-party-bead-multi-strand-bracelet.html

[@miriamshakra8061]

Great . But does French wire work with all kinds of threads

[@monellerichmond7208]

You just have to be careful to use French wire (also called bullion or gimp) that is large enough for your thread. I recently bought some 1mm French wire, and it works fine with either size 4 or size 6 Griffin silk cord.
