Blended Colors Bead Necklace

[@gretaeberhardt541]

This is a great tutorial! It takes a time consuming looking necklace down to a really doable necklace! I’m happy to have watched the video. Wonderful video quality, clear instructions and simply gorgeous necklace!

[@SandyHuntress]

Thank you so much, Greta, for your lovely comment. I'm glad to know you like the video and found it helpful. :-) Happy creating!

[@Tonia.lynn2411]

Absolutely gorgeous! I decided to add leather for around the back of the neck part and it’s so stunning!

[@SandyHuntress]

I’m so glad to know you tried the design, Tonia. Great idea adding the leather! 🙂👍

[@meenalochanib4444]

Your explanation is splendid. Makes the entire beading process seem so easy. Thank you.

[@sami2518]

Thank you for sharing. This is the best tutorial I have seen on blended color necklaces!

[@zoraidaverostek2573]

New to the jewelry making team. Now I know this IS something I can actually make!💗

[@SandyHuntress]

Oh, you definitely can! Happy creating, Melissa.

[@ednamaclaine8212]

Hey sandy , lovely necklace.

[@SandyHuntress]

Thank you, Edna. This one not only is easy to make, but it's a nice one to wear. :-) Happy creating!

[@teodoravujic4265]

This is just so elegant and unique! i love all of your work. Keep up with the amazing tutorials!👍

[@ivorygirlwest]

Beautiful! I was confused at first why there was so much length of thread between the last beads and the first eye pin/knot but figure it's to give yourself room to work on the other end, since those beads are right up against that starter knot. Is that correct? You just shimmy all the beads down to the first cone?

[@SandyHuntress]

Yes, you need more bead than you might think to comfortably be able to knot. I always like to cut a little more rather than less, we all hate to run out at the end!

[@lindacrsn5]

VERY NICE!❤️✨

[@paulabinkley9398]

Love this one. Beautiful colors. I have the electric spinner and the noise drives me crazy! I wish I had the other one. I do love that it takes a lot of work out of adding seed beads to a project.

[@maiafelidae]

Beautiful necklace, loved the color combo.

[@lindy2164]

I love this. Ive been on a beading stall lately but I think this will get me back into making again. Thanks for the great video.

[@SandyHuntress]

My first time watching you, very nice. I enjoyed the video.

[@SandyHuntress]

Welcome to the channel! Glad you like the video, happy creating. :-)

[@beads2yarn]

Another great video, love your easy teaching manner. I was wondering, how do you know to use Thread or Wire on your projects? Thanks again. 🙋🏻

[@SandyHuntress]

That's a really good question! I suppose it's a combination of considering the kind of drape I want, the weight of the beads I'm using, and if the beads have any sharp holes, like crystals. Thread is going to be more drapey than even the finest wire, which is why I used it here. If your beads are heavier or they have sharp holes, then wire would be a better choice.

[@HenryandRobinWalker]

Hi, I know this video is 9 years old, but would these beads still be available anywhere? I've recently decided to try my hand at jewelry making and I love this necklace! Thank you!

[@SandyHuntress]

Sure, you can buy beads like these at most craft stores. 🙂

[@HenryandRobinWalker]

@@SandyHuntress thank you!

[@fionar1656]

How Wonderful, thank you. Loved it. Would it work with beading wire instead of thread ?

[@fionar1656]

Thanks for all of your tutorials!

[@SandyHuntress]

Hi Fiona, glad you like the project! I'm not sure that this would work with beading wire instead of thread. My concern is that it wouldn't drape as nicely. Perhaps if you had VERY light weight wire. It's always worth experimenting, though!

[@fionar1656]

Hi Sandra, thank you for your quick reply I appreciate it. Yes you could be quite right about it not draping as nicely. But I think I will give it ago with beading wire for pearls as it is light weight and see how it looks. I love your tutorials and I can't wait to experiment with this one. Thanks again for all your videos please keep making them.

[@YahuaTsevaoth]

I love your work. u make such beautiful pieces and always inspire me. I've never used the string but would like to. what brand or type did u use or recommend? And thanks for always sharing...

[@SandyHuntress]

I used nymo beading thread: amzn.to/2seAzy8.

[@JaniYoung]

I love the necklace. What brand of seed beads did you use? And where can you buy them? Thanks, keep the videos coming!

[@1994abbygirl]

Love this!

[@SandyHuntress]

+1994abbygirl Thank you! :-)

[@donnaday1702]

I love this and will have to see about getting a bead spinner! TFS

[@sandyhuntress4063]

Donna Day It's a fun little tool. I just used it today in another project (video upcoming.) :-)

[@vanessasariya9339]

thanks for sharing this video

[@juliebergacker5680]

Awesome👍

[@SandyHuntress]

Thank you, Julie!

[@001oracle]

What type of beading string do you prefer?

[@SandyHuntress]

Honestly, I just used whatever I can find easily. I get Wildfire at Walmart and it works great for me.

[@rimaphillips9750]

And how do you deal with the loose thread you have on the end. between the cone and the knot????

[@SandyHuntress]

Once the glue is completely dry you can trim the loose thread ends.

[@rimaphillips9750]

Have another look at your video to see what I mean. See 6:55.

[@SandyHuntress]

You slide the beads down and then lightly snug up the threads when you tie off the other side.

[@rimaphillips9750]

I would really appreciate it if you would show this step. The tutorial is otherwise very clear, but I am sure hung up on this step, and I am an experienced beader!

[@SandyHuntress]

I think if you had the beads in your hand and were trying it it would make sense. Once you have the threads knotted at one end you grasp all the other ends, slide the beads down to the first knot and then proceed to knot the remaining ends together near the last beads. It's basic and intuitive if you have the beads in your hands. If I do another necklace in the same style I'll be sure to point out this step. :-)

J'adore je fai chaque jour

[@meghamaladutta9699]

hi please tell me the name of the wire that you used. is it a thread?

[@SandyHuntress]

It is Nymo (short for nylon monofilament) beading thread. You can find it in craft stores in the jewelry section or here online: amzn.to/2EhmqVy.

[@meghamaladutta9699]

thank you so much

[@vanessasariya9339]

nice

[@vanessasariya9339]

love it

[@ahmadar2234]

ممكن اعرف ما اسم الخيط المستخدم و مقاس الخرز؟

[@lauriemfs8720]

I'm I understanding that you use string for sea beads and stringing wire for all other beads? I'm a bit confused when to use string. As always beautiful work! You inspire me!

[@SandyHuntress]

Not necessarily, Laurie. I used thread for this necklace because there were so many strands and I wanted it to have a nice drape and feel. I could have used fine bead stringing wire. The wire is stronger, so I used that with anything that's has heavier beads.

[@sandramccormick8326]

this would be a great way to use up all those little left over beads or to use up those pesky beads that are not uniform in size!!!

[@sandyhuntress4063]

Sandra McCormick Good idea!

[@fadilahakbar5196]

so simple l can do it

[@ahmadar2234]
