[@carolh-rosario4761]

I have been trying to make this bracelet for years - until I came upon your KZbin channel and found it. Thank you for your detailed instructions.☺

[@jackyalty3590]

This is the first attempt at bead threading and the bracelet is wonderful. Thank you for your clear instructions and for simply sharing this wonderful item.

[@B4Pbakup]

you're welcome Jacky :-)

[@lorettamartinez2144]

I am in love with this bracelet! I made my very first one and am very pleased with the results! Thank you for being a wonderful teacher !!!

[@mike1968442]

Thank you so much for making video's while you speak the directions....My eyesight is terrible, but I love beading. Your work is absolutely wonderful.. Thanks again for taking the extra time to show the video, rather than pictures. Sally in Pennsylvania

[@terezatrojankovavytrhlikov2273]

Gorgeous. I have just finished this project. But I don´t have it anymore. I gave it to my friend as a present and she was gobsmacked. Thank you for your tutorial. I love your channels.

[@babecake4301]

So many compliments. I may de this bracelet and I have got to say, I love it. It took me some time to make it, spreading my time out, approximately 3 days. I do want to make another one and I know it will be better than the first one. Thank you so much for your tutorials and your time.

[@alinda35]

Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial! Hearing you talking is a lot much better than seeing your old videos with pictures only, even if those were great too. Compliments for your great job : your tutorials are extremely well done, step by step! Thanks again

[@PowerToolsnPearls]

Thank you SO much for sharing your talent, skills, and creativity! Your pieces are professional jewelry quality. There are those who create arts and crafts (my level), but you're truly an artisan. I am growing as an artist just watching you.

[@kenlinda515]

I am making this bracelet right now for my daughters wedding it is turning out amazing. I'm very happy with it and the video. I have made several of your pieces and they have all come out beautiful. Thank you and I look forward to seeing more tutorials from you.

[@B4Pbakup]

Are you making it for yourself for the wedding of for your daughter? :-)

[@kenlinda515]

I am making this for my daughter she's not a fan of pearls and a lot of my bridal jewelry is made with Swarovski pearls. I am surprising her with this beautiful bracelet. I'm really happy the way it is turning out.

[@B4Pbakup]

happy to hear that :-)

[@sandypavlik7898]

I haven't been able to try this bracelet yet, however I can't wait. I'll try it after I have surgery on my eyes but I wanted to let you know that out of all the video's I have watch for jewelry on KZbin your video is one of the best I have ever watched and I have watched quite a few. So thank you for doing an outstanding job and I'll keep you posted when I'm able to make this bracelet. Sincerely Sandy

[@B4Pbakup]

thanks Sandy :-)

[@footnut1234]

I have ordered all the beads necessary for this project. Thanks for all the info involving crystals. My son is getting married and I am giving this to the bride to be.

[@lupitao.1069]

I fell in love, always use the beads to decorate dresses wedding either, xv years and stuff like that but I could never do those bracelets you do. Until yesterday I saw one of your tutorial and it succeeds, many thanks

[@plants4life7]

I am so happy the tut is finally finished and uploaded. I've been looking forward to making this bracelet. Yours turned out fabulous, but everything you make is just fabulous. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of beading with us. If it wasn't for people like you sharing your passion for jewelry making with the world. The world would be a boring place. Once again the bracelet is just amazing and I can't wait to make one myself. Thanks for sharing with us. Sara.

[@tinhtam6089]

I have never liked beads so far but this one is so gorgeous. Your teaching is easy to understand and your voice is very soothing. This is not for beginners, you said but I am going to try it. If I a successful, I'll make 1 in white and 1 in black and may be a 3rd one with some pastel colors. Thank you for sharing.

[@ThisMindFreak]

Thank you sooooo very much for this tutorial! I did the bracelet and it was simply stunning!!!

[@titos517]

Το εφτιαξα και ειναι τελειο! Μου πηρε δυο ημερες,αλλα χαλαλι! Τωρα αρχιζω το δευτερο με χρωματα! Σας ευχαριστω,να εισαστε παντα καλα!

[@YouTubeDeva]

I haven't made one yet but your instructions seem straight forward and very detailed. Thank you for taking the time to record and share the instructions for this beautiful bracelet.

[@terristephens9820]

OMG! What a beautiful bracelet. I enjoyed this class/video very much. When I have supplies, I will attempt to make this beauty. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

[@B4Pbakup]

you're welcome Terri :-)

[@merimcpherson]

thank-you for remaking this tutorial, it is so helpful to hear your insights on the beading process itself. I really am appreciative of sharing your work and creativity !!

[@debbiechristian1697]

Ok. I'm making this for my wedding day as "something new". Very anxious to start it. Thank you so much for a clear tutorial

[@B4Pbakup]

I hope you will have a wonderful wedding day, and next wedding you will attend maybe you can give it to a friend who is getting married as "something borrowed"? :-)

[@debbiechristian1697]

B4Pbakup haha i just assumed the man in ur pics was ur husband. lol. i love scott bakula. such a wonderful show.

[@B4Pbakup]

Only in my dreams Debbie ;-)

[@debbiechristian1697]

B4Pbakup my mistake. i ordered my beads today. im assuming the silver beads were crystal/silver lined.?

[@B4Pbakup]

yes

[@MarYT961]

Gianna, how beautiful. I HAVE to try this!! I wouldn't use anything but Swarovskis for this beauty! I don't get the thumbs down, though...what are some people thinking? Oh well we don't have to concern ourselves with negativity. Thank you so much for making these tuts for all to enjoy...and for free!!! You rock, girlfriend!!!!

[@B4Pbakup]

Don't forget to post the picture Mary :-) PS this video is also available on the video (beginners) channel :-)

[@MarYT961]

Thanks G; I will.

[@Josiekapach]

wow I never made this , 4 hr wow thank you for teaching so well done! my question is How much can I sell it on Etsy?

[@bebes3035]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am so happy to see all the beautiful things that you come up with. Watching you making this bracelet give me corage to do one and show it off. I am telling all my family and friends about your channel and letting them know the wonderful things that you do. Thanks again for sharing. Can wait for the next tutorial.

[@jahmah52]

You are an excellent tutor and the most talented designer, ty.

[@anastasia122108]

Hello again! You're not only a perfectionist, but a professional. Your beading is amazing! I'm not good enough to try this bracelet, but eventually I will give it a try. The bracelet is absolutely gorgeous!

[@annrball]

I finally did it! I've made this bracelet twice and it never was right. 3rd time is a charm! It's still not "right because it's not a bangle, but with the beads I used it curves and appears to be a bangle. Thank you for such a wonderful tutorial!

[@B4Pbakup]

+Ann Ball Bravo for not giving up :-) I bet whomever will be wearing it will get plenty of stares at their wrist bangle or not :-)

[@annrball]

+B4Pbakup Thank you!!! I'm able to post the pic here!

[@B4Pbakup]

stunning :-) Could you share it on facebook so everyone will see there"Just look for beading4perfectionists. :-)

[@annrball]

+B4Pbakup DONE! Thank you!!!!

[@B4Pbakup]

thanks :-)

[@dvcrztb]

Spectacular! I am itching to get it started and appreciate your warnings about having enough time, etc... This is a very well done tutorial and I thank you.

[@NCoft]

WOOHOOO!!AWESOMENESS!! perfect length of thread topped it of!!!

[@queennickie1209]

Ma'am you have SKILLS! This is beautiful!!!

[@B4Pbakup]

netting is done with c-lon A, not fireline, so that may already be the first problem. Thread breaking mostly is due to people wanting to pull their thread through 4 swarovski beads at the time. If you did use c-lon instead of fireline for the netting, and you are pulling your fireline through no more than two swarovski's at the most you probably bought dried out thread. I had a 0.009 that broke easily because it was just dried out

[@ancaioana1987]

It's absolutely GORGEOUS! I love it!! Too bad I don't have all the materials.. thanks for sharing it with us

[@Illuzionary]

Thanks so much for this tutorial! I just came across this bracelet in a book and your tutorial made the instructions easier.

[@RaymondNok]

Love this so much. This piece is "my" piece of resistance on the stand at home. Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mihaelapanoiuluciana]

thank you for all your tutorials they are great and easy to follow i have to say that i have tries many of them but this was one of the first i tried , you have to understand i am attracted to anything that sparkles and this took my breath away, it took my a while but i made it :-)

[@B4Pbakup]

Yes me too, the more sparkles the better but it doesn't get more sparkly than when something is done with 4mm round :-)

[@lilyselveywillars]

Thank you so much for sharing your talent and allowing me to learn this wonderful technique. Lily

[@cpgde]

I finished the base the other day after taking it apart 4 times to get it perfect. My plan is start the rest tomorrow. Great tutorial!

[@marlenewall2006]

Your relaxed and easy to follow instructions are wonderful, the first one I made was not tight enough but now they look beautiful. Thank you. I hope you make many more tutorials.

[@normachavez7331]

Stunning bracelet! Thank you for sharing your talent and lovely design. I can't wait to make it! The finishing touch was a bit blurry since the camera was not clear. It's worth trying though. THANK YOU!!

[@B4Pbakup]

let me see 355 swarovski x 18 euro cents = 63.90 euro's + 10 euro's for seedbead, c-lon and fireline thread. That would be 73.90 in costs alone without my 8 hours of work. What would be fair? Minimum wages I guess... 8 hours times 10 euro's would make this bracelet 217.80 euro's... I would take 215 euro's which would be about 280 dollars. I'm registred at the chamber of commerce, so I do pay taxes on my sale. Anyone who thinks it's too expensive ask them if they get paid when they work :-)

[@sadanwarkhan3421]

Bijoux

[@gmarshall6596]

Did this bracelet entail almost 400 Swarovski size 4 beads? 😱. It's a project id love to do but it seems very costly

[@Pammellam]

@@gmarshall6596 ::: You could make this with other 4 mm beads of your choice which would make it much cheaper. Swarovski beads are very expensive. They have lots of bling and are very fancy but I think this bracelet would be very beautiful using other less expensive beads. But even 300 - 400 4mm BEADS would still cost something. But, using other beads in other colors would make it more wearable for daily wear.

[@TeresaOutward]

I absolutely love the bracelet that I made. Thank you for teaching me! ;)

[@MsDW57]

I had been working on mine for several months. I only did it when I was at Dr appts, and so forth. I finished it totally last night. It is Beautiful!!!!!!!! I will be making more, and working from start to finish, no inturuptions. It is on the Facebook page if you want to see it G. Thank you for such a wonderful gift!

[@bebes3035]

You are more than welcome, thank you again, for all your beautiful, and amazing proyects.

[@Alzobetka]

Absolute beautiful, beautiful work, thank you for your endless inspiration. You are amazing

[@B4Pbakup]

you're welcome :-)

[@Lorrainesules]

I am new to beading and will be adding this bracelet on my list of must do projects. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@B4Pbakup]

would be brave to start with this, but would be smart not to :-)

[@Lorrainesules]

B4Pbakup , thank you. I've already ordered all the beads needed for this project. I know it will be a challenge, but hopefully with your excellent tutorial I will get through it. Thanks again! I'll end up watching you make this at least 100 times, just to get it! lol I'll post a picture when I'm done.

[@B4Pbakup]

Awesome Lorraine, well if you can do this (even if it does take a couple of times) you can do about anything I throw at you on my channel :-)

[@Lorrainesules]

B4Pbakup I may have purchased the wrong CLon thread. I have D. I've worked my first group of 50 (great tip, btw) and so far so good. I'm so excited to be making this. Your instructions are amazing!

[@B4Pbakup]

Oh just try it, it doesn't make much difference I think :-)

[@RayvenCall]

Beautiful! I love your tutorials you make it so easy to follow instructions Thanks for sharing your talent and time

[@qadirwarsi6288]

I never see bracelate like this its amazing

[@anetteholkkaspersen5673]

Just started this project, after recieving all the materials from eBay.. Very excited to hopefully succeed.. I'm from Denmark

[@B4Pbakup]

good luck, when finished come share with me on facebook, would love to see it. I'm there at beading4perfectionists also :-)

[@beatrizaroca7096]

Hello again!! I managed how to fix it!! Thank you and Merry Christmas! :-)

[@B4Pbakup]

Glad you were able to fix it :-)

[@B4Pbakup]

I have no idea what the difference is, never worked or even sw superlon, but you can always try and see what happens. Fireline is pretty good stuff, I can't agree with you more :-)

[@Chigirl26]

MY GOODNESS! That is beautiful! I would have thought that it was made that way! You get a like and a subscription!

[@soucky1]

WOW! Amazing, I just Love,love this Bracelet for me it's look like a Diamond Bracelet & I will make one for me so Thank's for this tutorial You're super Great Designer I'm very impress by this Design Gorgeous i really enjoy this tutorial.

[@B4Pbakup]

did you use c-lon for the netting? and after that fireline for the swarovski's? If not that could be one reason. You don't have to take it apart, you can do a second round with fireline if it's to flat through the swarovski's and pull that a little tighter. That will help. I have several beaders already telling me it worked fine but they indeed had to do a second round

[@maryclark3792]

I am going to make this thing. It isn't going to be all the good beads, but I am giving it a go! I'll post to your wall when I get started, progress and finish!

[@B4Pbakup]

I'm keeping my eye out on facebook on the process :-)

[@clc46226]

this is stunning...I can not wait to make it

[@B4Pbakup]

have fun :-)

[@nubiaangel]

i love your work!!! i just had one problem while watching....because of maybe the color beads you are using it was hard to see how you went in to doing the second row of swarvski beads, but none the less very beautiful!!! thanks foe sharing

[@jewelrymaker3695]

Wooowww......beautiful ....gorgeous ....fantastic ....I can't say it in words.....😍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👑👑👑👒👒👒❤️

[@barbarawilliams1101]

Simply STUNNING I absolutely adore this bracelet :)

[@B4Pbakup]

Glad you like it Barbara :-)

[@barbarawilliams1101]

I LOVE it!!!!

[@B4Pbakup]

I did it this way, I have no idea how it would work with D, but don't be afraid to try... :-) I used 6 armspan wide of c-lon a for my first bracelet and it came through the phonetest just fine as well as the curve was beautiful. But since people have a bit of a problem with 6 armspans of thread I did it here with c-lon AA and fireline. So go ahead try D see what happens.

[@briannaplier8824]

gorgeous and elegantly made

[@sarikale]

Thank you from Israel , for your beautiful beautiful beautiful The most perfect Capricho .

[@beatrizaroca7096]

Hello, I started to put the crystals.... but I want to be sure that it's 4 or 5 per row.... I'm so excited!

[@B4Pbakup]

I thiink more, but I don't remember you will have to watch the video

[@beatrizaroca7096]

I'm watching it.... I'll figure it out... ;)

[@joannschmidt7967]

This is such a beautiful bracelet that I had to make one. I used SoNo thread for the entire project and 420 Swarovski round crystals. It came out perfect except that it's too big even though the netting fit tightly over my knuckles when I did the fitting. The SoNo thread has a slight stretch to it so that is most likely why the finished bracelet was too big. I’ll need to take it apart and remake it using less rows in the netting section. Thank you for the tutorial! :~)

[@yvonnepayne3096]

Love to view the precious gifts people have .

[@B4Pbakup]

glad to share Yvonne :-)

[@yvonnepayne3096]

I will try to make this , just a beginner having made some of the bracelets. Thank you :-)

[@B4Pbakup]

If you get this done Yvonne, no matter how long you have been beading I think you can call yourself an advanced beader :-) Not the easiest project in the book, but the prettiest for sure on my channel :-)

[@yvonnepayne3096]

sure will . thanks so much .x

[@kjerseygirl]

You do such beautiful work. I'm so inspired and hope that I can do only half as well.

[@darryaharris432]

WOW!!! Beautiful work.

[@B4Pbakup]

prettiest bracelet I ever seen made. PLus my personal favorite among the bracelets :-)

[@gigiDol]

Very nice and beautiful work,thanks for posting tutorial.

[@pimmizzilla]

thank you so so much for the video i made it for myself its really beautiful and your video is very easy to understand still got a lot of project from you to follow :-)

[@B4Pbakup]

awesome Pimmizilla :-)

[@B4Pbakup]

@atiyasperfecttreas of course you can do less on the netted part of the first set up. You'll notice quick enough if you need to drop or ad more beads when you don't come out of the top row size 8 when you go back up

[@avalinth]

Wooo hooo! I'm so happy I had found your You tube channel, love your work, and you are very generous to share so much with us. I want to make several pieces right away, but the toughest part is having to wait for my order of beads to arrive! I wonder if you would tell us a bit about how long have you been beading, how did you learn, where do you get your inspiration from, and do you bead professionally as a business or hobby? thank you for everything. :)

[@B4Pbakup]

Yes Angie no problem, already got that video covered :-) Beading4perfectionists : How did you start beading? Are you making any money on youtube? etc..

[@B4Pbakup]

phew glad you aren't mad, beast wishes from the Netherlands and in the future some things will change. I need better light to for making footage at night but I'm saving up for a real video camera right now. One thing at the time, footage will get better here :-)

[@BeMe33]

Hi ❤❤❤ this!! My fav version of this popular design. Do you have a written pattern for this? Your video is great. I’m just better with written instructions.

[@troiiwarchild163]

Wow this is a nice bracelet, I am going to give it a try thank you.

[@enid12rivera]

Wow that's awesome I just don't get that type of bracelets in PR. Thanks for the video.

[@rojeaniafuscaldo3239]

SO BEATUFUL !! CAN'T WAIT TO TRY IT !!!!!!!!!

[@gardengatequilting]

Love this! I think I'm going to make it just a little narrower and maybe make three of them!

[@cthepower]

Beautiful tutorial ; thank you so much :) .... I am anxious to find other color ways and different bead too :) ....... Blessings

[@craalooshcroatiantradition3124]

Marilyn Monroe bracelet is absulutely the best name for it!!!

[@B4Pbakup]

I agree :-)

[@cassymilo1982]

Well....the crochet thread worked really well......i have a sparkling bracelet........unfortunately in my excitement i miss judged the diameter of mum wrist...so instead of a bracelet i have an arm band now.....lol...but i am already working on another SMALLER one......(real do feel stupid about making such a big one).......thanks soooooooooo much.....couldn't have done it without your tutorial.........

[@B4Pbakup]

Well because that's how I like to do it. The bracelet pattern is not written in stone you can do whatever you like with it. However if the result is not what you like it to be you might just want to hold to the basics on what I use, fireline, c-lon, seedbeads 11/0 and 8/0. Bicones or rounds make no difference in the shape, anything else replaced may give you a different look.

[@yvettebooth67]

I would like to try to make this bracelet. Even though I may not be advance beader I believe I can achieve that bracelet. Just follow and listen to your tutorial. Thanks good for this beautiful tutorial. :-D

[@B4Pbakup]

you go girl!!! :-)

[@B4Pbakup]

could be like black 11/0 is smaller than silver for instance so yes that could be a problem if you used a different colour. Yes it has to be very right.

[@4carrot4]

oh this the most beautiful thing I have seen, love it, and want to make it, but you said about 4 hrs. it would probably be 4 months for me or longer, I imagine I couldn't even do it. I am 85 going to watch the video some moreand see if is something I should try. I want the bracelet so bad, and don't know anyone to do it for me.

[@TheJraymond]

Nice video. Your "live" on camera videos are very clear and instructional. I do most of my jewelery with metal wire, lots of viking knit, but after watching this video I am going to try some beading. What size were the swarovski beads for this one?( don't know what kathywright2001 is being picky about) Keep up the great videos. Love your designs!

[@arimamiyasawa4200]

you are the best teacher

[@eddiebrooks7897]

Hello! You done a wonderful job on this tutorial and the bracelet is lovely. I have not seen one on youtube that can beat this in looks. I do have a quick question.....which size 11 silver seed bead are you using? silver lined clear, silver lined opal, or an actual silver color? Thank you so much for responding and for posting this tutorial....I prefer these to the tutorials you have with just the pictures and instructions.

[@caterinababe1]

OMG I am definitely going to make this one for sure. Thank you for sharing!

[@B4Pbakup]

I wish I could but you may need more than I use. I for instance only use 320 crustals but I can only suggest not to start with less if you have my size wrist which is very small. As to seedbeads I buy bulk (50 grams) so I never know how much I use, I just make very sure I don't run out, and with 50 grams I am sure I won't when I start a project like this. :-) yes 0.006 4lb is teh same

[@elguero512]

Lol this is my husband KZbin account.....I love this bracelet. Great tip on buying at eBay. They really do have great deals swasovski beads. Thanks

[@B4Pbakup]

you're welcome :-)

[@vampiritza14]

very, very beautiful, a nice work. So in the end you have use 7 sets of 50 plus 5 8/0 seedbeads, and the same amount of round beads 4 mm?. once again a very beautiful work.

[@B4Pbakup]

Cool :-) Don't feel stupid, I had to do it 3 times myself when I first started, one wa to big, next one too small third time was finally a charm :-)

[@Koko56767]

Ive just started this but did 7 8/0 instead of 11 to make the width a little shorter. Hope I can make this successfully. Im thinking of figuring out how to at a clasp and use rainbow coloura crystals which I recieved today (btw I can so tell the difference all my old ones are fake) so thanks to you I invested in some good quality ones.

[@B4Pbakup]

Of course you can kjeseygirl, all you have to do is follow the instructions and if not strong enough go around on the outside again. So many already showed theyr pieces on my FB channel and everyone who did, did an amazing job :-)

[@B4Pbakup]

You could check ebay for some 11/0, I don't know if you can create it with all 8.0 but you could give it a try

[@B4Pbakup]

you can do whatever you want, make bangles out of them, change row colours, use 11/0 all the way around see wha happens... Pretty powerful bracelet to play with and nothing you can do to it that will let you down :-)

[@B4Pbakup]

oh good, glad you understood it. Yeah I'm working on an intro video where I show new beaders to go to my oldest video first. I think that will help some (I hope) :-)

[@Jessica.Rachel]

that looks awesome! look forward to trying it sometime :) thanks!

[@sahibriyat466]

Hi, thank you so much for sharing this. You make it look so simple

[@SusanRoseArt]

Oh this is SO pretty! Thank you for the tutorial.

[@simplyreid9174]

Thank you for your wonderful videos. I've watched most of them and made a lot of gorgeous pieces. I do have a question about this one. Can I use just 11/0 for the netting or even 11/0 with 15/0; would it give me the same curve? Thank you again for sharing with us and making your videos easy to follow!

[@Tasoq]

I love how this bracelet looks :)

[@B4Pbakup]

you should see it sparkle in the sun, it's just stunning :-)
