Glad we could help!

Excellent!!!! 100% positive Thank you so much, you made it very easy. A friend showed me what you did, but she made it difficult to understand. Your video is very clear/straightforward. I will be following your videos.

[@PamelaMcGurk]

Great clarity - thank you. Your videos are really helpful.

[@beadaholique]

Hi! Thank you for the suggestion! I will add your idea to our request board.

[@darthlaurel]

Very clear and super helpful. I've never done it this way but it seems easy now that I've watched this.

Excellent tutorial thank you so much

@billiemonster14 For pearl knotting, I prefer to use Griffin Silk Thread. It is very sturdy, goes through the pearls easily, and is great for knotting. We've added a link for Griffin Silk in the video description underneath the video.

Awesome best video I have seen yet very helpful!!!!

[@jajanesaddictions]

I love Wyatt White and his video's. He is always so concise. I would like to see a much longer video on this subject with more tips told to us. I did notice how he twirls the silk thread to get it through the hole, I like that little tip. and the glue tip. excellent.

[@beadaholique]

@bunnywabbit401 You can use GS Hypo Cement. The links for the supplies in this video including the glue is located in the video description underneath the video.

[@Morgena1]

that was a great help for me to do my work much better thanks again for the clip

[@beautytita]

Thank you so much for sharing this ...i love it

[@radkamajercakova8630]

what cord protector do you use? Thank you for a beautiful and informative video..

[@beadaholique]

Thanks for watching! We use French Wire with a 0.5mm inner diameter. Here is a link to the wire: beadaholique.com/products/french-wire-bullion-gold-color-med-14-inch

Is it a MUST to knot pearls? I want to make a strand of Tahitian pearls, but I am not a fan of the knot look.

[@Stawberrah]

Great video! Thanks

[@judelush]

can you do a vid of doing knotting of a pearl necklace but without any clasps

[@paulavicuna8510]

Hola como termina la pulsera? por favor

[@DianaMoon11428]

My French wire often gets wonky. Do you have any suggestions?

[@beadaholique]

They can finicky. Sometimes you can use nylon jaw pliers to help them lay smoother as opposed to working with all metal tools.

[@DianaMoon11428]

@@beadaholique I meant that after lying on the silk the wire separates. I massage it back into place but it separates again.

[@beadaholique]

@@DianaMoon11428 I haven't had exactly that problem with french wires but honestly it's been a while since we've worked with them. This might be a good question to ask on our Facebook page if you're on there, you might get some helpful ideas from other beaders in the community.

[@makeawish93113]

Thank you for the detailed video. I am wandering what are you using to work with tiny pearls, for example graduated necklace. The smaller pearls are so tiny sometimes it’s very hard to pull the thread even one way. And yes, I am using fine thread and thinnest needles. Thank you in advance on your answer.

[@beadaholique]

Thanks for watching our video. If you are having trouble passing cord, you may want to try slightly enlarging the holes on the pearls. We have a video on a pearl and bead reamer here: www.beadaholique.com/how-to-use-bead-and-pearl-reamers.html

[@yazminricitos1125]

Hello what are the thread covers at the end called

[@beadaholique]

It's called french wire, we have a video on it here: beadaholique.com/products/how-to-use-french-wire

[@billiemonster14]

@Beadaholique thanks!

[@billiemonster14]

you didn't list the silk cord you used? or is it thread?

[@beadaholique]

@bronkhorstntj Check out the video titled "Ending a Knotted Strand of Pearls" that we've uploaded.

[@bunnywabbit401]

what's the name of the glue?

[@michelellanos]

Hi there!! What size of string are you using?? I'be been using 4-6 but looks like you may be using an 8?? Thanks, excellent tutorial!!

[@beadaholique]

+michelellanos Hi, I am so glad you liked Wyatt's tutorial. He was very nice to have shared it with us. Unfortunately since this video is not one we recorded ourselves, I am not 100% sure what size he was using. I agree that it looks bigger then a 6 and it could very well be a size 8. I am sorry that I do not have an exact answer.

[@robbyzmom4ever273]

I'l

[@lisakitson6745]

I am just not getting what 2 strings Wyatt is talking about as far as tying an overhead knot over each pearl in the beginning. Help!

[@beadaholique]

I believe he is referring to doubling up the stringing material.
