Boho Chain and Stretch Bracelet and Earring Tutorial

[@dawnkellersjewelry3894]

Hey Wendy . This selection of beads are one of my favorites, and Amethysts collection designs.

[@nadineglomboski1852]

Wow, great job on that green stretch section. That looked very tricky.

[@parulvora6712]

Vry pretty.. Beautiful.. Cute colours.. 😍😍 Nice muzik well..

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thank you so much 😊

[@nadineglomboski1852]

love this Wendy, I did not know I could use a crimp bead on stretch cord. Learned something new.

[@farmers-daughter2000]

I learn something new I each of the videos you. I never would have thought you could use chain in a stretchy bracelet. And yes I would never thought to us a crimp.

[@crystalr5090]

Love this set...the earrings turned out super cute! Loved the sax, as well.

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thanks so much!

[@HeidiMBlankenship]

Gorgeous!! Love the bracelet and earrings! The focal bead on the bracelet is so pretty. Fantastic tutorial! Can't wait to see the necklace! TFS! 💕

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thank you so much!

[@reneeray5365]

Love the background "finale" music

[@thisbeadedlife]

Haha, Chris just starts up whether Im filming or not lol

[@Deb-xi3ie]

Wendy, have you thought about using a collapsible needle when stringing elastic cord? The eye will accommodate the thickness of the cord, but will collapse to fit smaller hole beads. Love that design, a lot more interesting than just a one-strand elastic bracelet. Thank you!

[@thisbeadedlife]

I have used one in the past. I think I have some here somewhere. I need to dig them out! Thanks for reminding me of them!

[@Nancy_S]

Very pretty! Nice sax. Part of what he was practicing made me think of the song Baker Street.

[@thisbeadedlife]

Hehe, Im not sure what he was playing. I live to hear him play

[@Doxymeister]

Thank you for naming that, my poor old brain was struggling to remember the name of that piece. And I love the bracelet set as well--fascinating to watch you work through the process!

[@victoriajohnson3241]

I adore these and your way of making them. I always seem to have a hard time finding the list that's needed on videos. I was hoping to see the specific type sz of stretch magic that you're using. Mine doesn't seem to look like yours.

[@kimbain4368]

These are so pretty! Can't wait for the necklace!

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thank you! 😊

[@niniveldouglas2718]

Happy new year! Loved the background saxophone music!

[@thisbeadedlife]

Happy new year! Ill tell Chris : )

[@debbiecobb5757]

I'm loving the colors in this set! 🌺🌸💖🌼

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thank you!

[@ladyjustice7]

Love the way you work. I like working that way too. Its more freestyle to me. I have wondered about using crimp beads on stretch bracelets but was never brave enough to try it...Now I will. Loved the background music 😉. Very soothing.

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thank you : ) And Ill tell Chris!

[@reneebarger5194]

Great beads. I love the balance. I have had better success by using “eye” pins to hook the cord and then put the pin thru the conical bead caps. No fussing with crimp beads. I also put a dab of E6000 on the eye pin/cord knot to secure. We all so love your positive energy & spunk.

[@thisbeadedlife]

That's a great idea!

[@melissagrbac1598]

The big green "opal" fire polished beads are one of my favorites beads! I need them in my life! 😍

[@melissagrbac1598]

I cannot find those large green opal fire polish beads anywhere. Any suggestions of where I might find them?

[@thisbeadedlife]

no sorry. I got them from moonstone beads but they have since closed

[@leigh9354]

I would love to see how you come up with things for the budget bead box this month. How about a video on how you make this month pieces? That would be fun 🎉

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thats a great idea. I may do that next month because by the time I read this, Im already well into it lol

[@reneeray5365]

Beautiful idea! Liked hearing you wiped glue on your shirt. Was afraid I was the only one that did this😁

[@thisbeadedlife]

Haha I do it all the time : )

[@JuMaRi615]

Great pieces! I love green

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thank you!

[@tamiwilliamson6342]

Love this bracelet

[@TurquoiseStreet]

I love literally everything about this bracelet!! 😍😍😍 and I LOVE the colors!! Beautiful work!! 🥰💕

[@TurquoiseStreet]

Ps, have you sold this bracelet yet?? 😊

[@thisbeadedlife]

No, still have it : )

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thank you so much!!

[@willow9957]

Very pretty thanks for sharing

[@thisbeadedlife]

You are so welcome

[@bonniewilliams864]

Really cute. I find myself working the same way. Hmmmm do I like this or that????😍

[@thisbeadedlife]

ts the creative curse lol

[@srvntlilly]

They are so pretty! I love the colors and the beads you chose. It never fails. When I'm trying to attach the ear wires or the posts, I always get them backwards the first time. Could be cuz I'm dyslexic? So frustrating. The entire video, I was talking right along with you. You: "Let's see. Should I put this this way?" Me:"Yes!" You: "I don't know if I should do that or this." Me: "Do that!" Lol! I don't know if other people do that or if I'm just a weirdo. Anyway, I love these! 🤗💕

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thank you!

[@srvntlilly]

Wendy Whitman Welcome! 😊💕

[@carriesunshine5742]

Very beautiful as always Wendy. I absolutely love those big fire polish green beads. Would love to know where she got them. When the knot doesn't want to tie, try over hand knot then under hand. Hopefully that will work

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thanks so much!!

[@andreagibson7099]

BEAUTIFUL LUV THEM ALL

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thank you!!

[@christinalloyd7920]

Love your style! And I just finished ordering beads from the site. I can not wait to receive them. And I look forward to seeing how you made the necklace!

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thank you Christina!

[@bonniewilliams864]

Chris sounds mighty fine😎

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thank you!! I'll tell him you said so!

[@nadineglomboski1852]

love those flowers. are they are your web site? if so ill be kicking my self for not ordering with the chain.

[@thisbeadedlife]

Yes, they are on the site : )

[@jeanettabussell2580]

Love the bracelet where did you get the huge bead? I love the sax playing .

[@thisbeadedlife]

The huge bead was gifted to me. I'll tell Chris you like his playing. It will make him feel good 😀

[@MyChannel-to3by]

Lovely bracelets

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thank you

[@leigh9354]

Hey Wendy, love this Idea. Have been wanting to try this. Is this opelan?

[@thisbeadedlife]

no it is an off brand that came in a beading kit. It isnt even marked, it is just on a tiny spool and I cant remember which kit it came out of.

[@nadineglomboski1852]

Loving the chain and stretch cord. Never did that. Where did you getting those gorgeous focal beads...just think they’re awesome!

[@thisbeadedlife]

Those were gifted to me. I know, they are unique and so pretty!

[@leigh9354]

Did you buy new xuron pliers?

[@thisbeadedlife]

Yes and I LOVE them!!

[@JNew-hr5mw]

I know you said that the Streatch Magic never unknotted on you before, I was wondering why you were knitting it instead of putting a bead stopper on it or a piece of tape , then

[@JNew-hr5mw]

Continued:then tie a tailors Knott then finish it.

[@thisbeadedlife]

I was knotting it because I was doubling it to make two strands to make it stronger. I needed to be able to pull it through the beads and pull hard to make sure it was taut. f I used a bead stopper or tape, I woudnt be able to pull as hard as I wanted to . I hope ths makes sense lol

[@rebeccaocker4506]

Do u have a reamer I have that problem sometimes

[@thisbeadedlife]

Yes but I have not ever used it!

[@yomama8873]

🤩🤩🤩💖💖

[@leigh9354]

I have days like this 85% of the time this last month. Every single time I sit down nothing works right or fits or I can't find what is right under my nose. Hahaha

[@thisbeadedlife]

Glad Im not alone lol

[@carolsimas1786]

You scar me when you trim the eye pins. I’m afraid that wire that flies off is going to get you in your eye. Try putting your index finger of your right hand over the wire to keep it from flying. I love the bracelet especially the color and that focal is a real beauty. Thanks for posting. I enjoy you videos.

[@thisbeadedlife]

LOL, I have glasses on : )

[@patticakes838]

I like your work, but I think you should be more organized with what you are doing

[@thisbeadedlife]

How so?

[@srvntlilly]

Patti Cakes This is the way most creative people work. They sit down with one thing in mind, and end with something completely different and better than their original idea. Being too organized doesn't allow your creativity to flow. It becomes too rigid and mechanical.

[@leigh9354]

This is why we LOVE and ADORE Wendy. She is just like us and not edited to the hilt. , just saying this is why she is our BFF of the beading world ♡

[@carriesunshine5742]

Wendy just shows shes like all of us. We all are like this. The difference she has guts to do this in a video for the world to see

[@thisbeadedlife]

That is just the way I create. It's not organized or perfect but usually something nice comes out of it. I don't now, and will never edit my videos. I feel that it is important to show that NONE of us are perfect, we all mess up and one of us have the organization down to a science. There are plenty of KZbinrs out there with perfect, edited videos and no mistakes. That is not what my channel is all about. If that's what you are looking for, you won't find it here 😀
