Gracias querido!

[@natnat9220]

Not just for beginners. Sometimes I need "to get rest" and just beading to relax and this is it! And by the way, didn't know what to do with all the buggle beads in my stash. 😅Thank you!!! ❤ This is beautiful necklace.

[@almasurfside-surfandbeachj1170]

Glad that you were able to put your bugles to good use and that it helped you relax as well! Thank you so much for watching:)

Love it! Quick and easy project for a snowy winter day. Thank you! I also noticed some of your beads come from one of my favourite bead stores . That was kinda nice to see from my home town. 😊

[@almasurfside-surfandbeachj1170]

That's hilarious. I buy all of my Toho's from Canada Beading and the rest from McBead. Nice to know that there's another local bead weaver. Thanks for watching:)

[@islandgirl1949]

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing that massive fireline tip too. I will be investing too. Happy 2024 🇬🇷🎈🥂

[@almasurfside-surfandbeachj1170]

Thanks! Yeah, it definitely doesn’t make sense to buy small spools at a higher price. Lucky you living in beautiful Greece:)

Beautiful. I am from Denmark and I mostly order my beads from hobbyperline in Italy. I ordered more black tube beads Yesterday, going to make your beautiful necklace. Thanks for sharing. Love from Denmark 🥰❤️🇩🇰

@@almasurfside-surfandbeachj1170 I’ve already made 2 beautiful necklaces and and it inspired me also to make some beautiful bracelets too. AND I finally found my twisted golden bugles 6 mm, I havn’t been able to find for a while 😅. More than 300 g left, so many more neclaces etc to make. Thank you again ❤️❤️❤️. Love from Denmark 🇩🇰

[@almasurfside-surfandbeachj1170]

I'm happy that your bugles showed up! That's great that you were able to use the pattern for some bracelets as well. Thanks so much for watching my channel:)

[@user-uv4bh8uw9q]

Needle number?

[@dpaint6268]

Just a simple suggestion, instead of leaving a tail to contend with, why not add the small bead loop at the end after creating a link or two with a quick short reinforced return and then go back to the last link and just continue to whatever length you want?

[@almasurfside-surfandbeachj1170]

Thanks for the suggestion! Yes, you definitely don’t have to leave the closure until the end of the project. I just prefer to present the pattern first and then go over the closure at the end of the video. Thanks for watching:)

[@aurora5811]

Really nice and easy. It works perfectly and it's not always so using bugles. Your channel is very nice as well. New subscriber!!!!!! A big hug from Italy and thankyou for sharing

I'm flattered that you think of it as a "master class." What a lovely compliment! Thank you so much for watching:)

[@elizabethjones3325]

Forgot to say in my last comment how much I love this necklace & how I think it is so unique. I'm always looking for something different & you make it so easy. Thank you for sharing. I would live to know how many millimeters a #2 Czech bugle is equivalent to. I can't wait to make this necklace & I'm hoping I have the right beads or close to it

[@almasurfside-surfandbeachj1170]

Miyuki bugles come in 3 and 6mm. I would use the longer length since it's closer to what I used in the tutorial (5mm). I'm glad that the video was easy to follow. Thank you for your kind comments:)

Здравствуйте. Очень красиво. Можно попросить вас указать размеры бисера, плотность лески и остального материала, который вы использовали в этом украшении. Благодарю вас🤗👍

[@almasurfside-surfandbeachj1170]

Thanks! All of the information can be found in the description box.

[@rendaowe]

The one with gold beads really looks like a high end necklace. I really want to make this now, I’m thinking all gold.

[@almasurfside-surfandbeachj1170]

That’s always the goal! Yes, all gold would be gorgeous as well! Happy beading:)

[@kimedwards4153]

Did you use 15/ 0 beads on the black necklace as well ? Thank you. Love this necklace. I hit the subscribe button 😊

[@almasurfside-surfandbeachj1170]

Yes, I used 15/0 for the connectors, but not the closure. Thanks for subscribing! Welcome to the Alma Surfside club!

[@teresarose1038]

Can I use Miyuki 3mm bugle beads in this design?

[@almasurfside-surfandbeachj1170]

They might be a bit too small when combined with size 8 seed beads. I used #2 bugles, which are 5mm. Thanks for your question!

[@elizabethjones3325]

How many millimeters is equivalent to #2 bugle beads

[@almasurfside-surfandbeachj1170]

#2 bugles are 5mm long. Thanks for your question!

[@katiapellizzari3913]

Please what size are the bugles?

[@almasurfside-surfandbeachj1170]

I used #2 bugles, which are approximately 5mm. Thanks for watching:)
