[@philswifeforever1156]

Best tutorial I’ve seen yet for these neck ropes. You are clear succinct and instruct us on where to purchase the materials. Trying to pull the fabric back right side up was a deterrent for me. Thanks for introducing the tool. Thanks!

[@throb247]

Thanks for that perfect step by step demo.

[@pg7815]

This tutorial is so well put together. Great explanations. Great visuals. Thank you so much for this!

[@giddyupworkshop4684]

+Phyllis Guerrier You're welcome. I'm so glad you found it useful! :)

[@vanessasariya9339]

+giddyupworkshop thank you for sharing this video....the video inspired me as young person to do make jewellery classes

[@jaydesnyder4111]

This was so helpful for me! im doing a huge project with my school and this is going to look great on our costumes.

[@rosuggs99]

Love it, I will be making these for my new dress I'm wearing for my 18th Wedding Anniversary 💜👍🏿 Thanks!!!-

[@ACS402010]

Thank you for this clear, concise tutorial. It was very helpful. And ignore the weirdos who think they have the right to tell another human being what they can and cannot make and /or wear. And just know that not all of us black folk run around shouting "stop appropriating our culture!" at the drop of a hat. Some of us are smart enough to know that appreciation does not equal appropriation. Unfortunately, some seem to have missed the memo on that. Thanks again!

[@biancaland4951]

I'm not white nor black but I think everyone can look good on it,There are black people with light skin too so by your logic they don't look good because they don't have a dark color. People like things from other cultures,that's life.I'm going to wear them because I like them.The world is becoming a melting pot and you are going to have a bad time every time you see a non-black wearing something African. People that are blinded by color are those who will never be at peace.Also just because you're black doesn't mean you can call her n*gger( That word that you guys claim to hurt you so much). note: It's "you're" not "your"

[@gugushabangu4097]

Thank you for this video. I'm african and these are sold quite expensive prices (since the materials are expensive this side) and I needed an outfit and matching necklaces so this is sooo helpful! Thank you!

[@kathyperry863]

hi, i made something similar many years ago, just fiber arts, i used pretty fabric and polyfill. i made necklaces. i even made soft beads to go on the thing. they were pretty. i used different scrunchi techniques. i always hand stitched tho. thank you for your vid.

[@sophiereconstructed4220]

I love your tutorial. Using that fabric turner thingy will make my life so much easier. Again thanks for this very informative video

[@TheSimplydar]

tried it, you can get the stuff on ebay for super cheap i did a tribal print one, floral and denim from an old pair of jeans

[@giddyupworkshop4684]

+TheSimplydar Fantastic! Great idea with the denim too.

[@TheSimplydar]

+giddyupworkshop right who knew but is it ok to use crazy glue btw I was so desperate. to make these, rope was so expensive online I raided the dollar store for rope lookalike and settled for a dog toy rope. I was looking at the dog toy like I found burried treasure.

[@beadinggem]

Fabulous tutorial! And one which can be used for any bright fabric. I am thinking of batik for myself. I will share on my blog (beadinggem) in the near future so others can learn from you!

[@giddyupworkshop4684]

@Kingsley Danso Thanks for watching! I just used a regular exact box cutter knife, but any blade sharp enugh to cut the rope would work.

[@deryljenkins]

[@cheyennesutton2055]

Great video. Thank you for sharing. I am going to try this technique.

[@deidrewilliams6610]

Thank you for posting this video I've been looking for a diy.

[@waynewiley9519]

What a neat project. I'm a quilter and what quilter doesn't have a stash of fabric just crying out for a project. Also being a quilter, I always use a 1/4th inch seam allowance. What size is your seam allowance?

[@vikkifossum4959]

Very pretty!!!

[@amyokoye3605]

Well done, clear instructions

[@emillezola9949]

Magnifique.

[@nozisamela7283]

Great tutorial, I sure will try and make my own.

[@Beautarie]

Beautiful will definitely do this

[@DianeOfori]

Thank you this is great! Please don't mind the negative comments

[@giddyupworkshop4684]

Thanks Diane. Some people have voiced some concerns based on very important issues, however I'm glad you appreciate that I'm simply sharing a technique without taking ownership of the whole concept.

[@tinnedecuyper2131]

Diane Ofori lo

[@BananaLodgeEcuador]

Very pretty, thank you for sharing!

[@fannymoreno_aprendizporsiempre]

Thanks for the clear and very interesting video. The question I have is that I'll like to know if the fabric has to be cut straight (following the thread) or at bias. My mom used to do things similar to this and always use to tell me that fabric turns better when cut to the bias. TKS a lot! Regards!

[@giddyupworkshop4684]

Fanny Moreno First of all I'm so glad that you found the video useful. Your Mom was absolutely right that the fabric will generally turn easier on the bias. With this size of cotton tube, however, it really doesn't matter that much. Plus cutting on the grain conserves fabric so much better than on the bias. Happy sewing!

[@bihtamambang4890]

Thanks for the tutorial. Just so explicit. Please where can I get the rope ? I'm in Cameroon.

[@BrendaHarp-ci2in]

These are beautiful. I have looked everywhere for the metal beads. No luck. What is your local hardware? Ours don't have anything like these.

[@chantalgafan8502]

[@myday1010]

Thanks

[@kimrutley4942]

Awesome awesome tutorial!!

[@Bussie1981]

Good video. Hope to try it someday

[@4mayen]

Beautiful work @giddyupworkshop. Please advise measurement in inches for sewing the seam. I understand if using a 1/2 inch rope, to cut out fabric at 2 3/4 inch wide but wasn't sure about seam allowance as I don't want it to be too loose or tight for rope, what would you recommend? Thank you :)

[@giddyupworkshop4684]

Thank you! In this particular case I used a 3/8" seam allowance, but you'd be surprised how much that can vary based on the weave of your fabric and the density of the rope. Start with that and make your appropriate adjustments from there. Good luck!

[@denisenicolenyc]

Love the video, thanks for sharing. Question, if I don't have a sewing machine will it work as well sewing by hand? Or should I try gluing the fabric? Your input would be appreciated. Thanks!

[@giddyupworkshop4684]

Good question. Sewing by hand would absolutely work, it would just take a long time. Gluing would be much faster but not as neat and perhaps harder to get the accurate size you need. I would definitely experiment on some scrap fabric first. Good luck!

[@denisenicolenyc]

Thanks for responding, I think I'll get a mini or handheld sewing machine then to make it easier.

[@charmenbright9409]

I liked these necklaces, can you tell me where did you buy your bras vintage tube beads and how Mn should I take. Thank you

[@solbolivar8358]

Qué lindo! Gracias!

[@macym57]

Very beautiful💞

[@emillezola9949]

Bon travail.

[@anazamaro1927]

Thanks!

[@deborahallen7064]

What seam allowance did you use when you sewed the fabric? I didn't hear you mention that.

[@nailnerdxX]

cool

[@misstaja1976]

very nice

[@maycineal1293]

Awesome!

[@xant4141]

Thank you

[@sarawinters234]

I love this and have been wanting to make it for sometime. Great video! Where do you get that fabric from?? Thanks for the video.

[@themangodiaries284]

Is there a larger clasp I could buy to make one multi ring necklace instead of buying 4 or 5 individual ones ?

[@funkelinda9434]

Thank you for the tutorial. just finished watching. Please you give me a list of the things l need to buy to start off. l couldn't really hear the correct names.

[@Foibeh]

Oops... Thank dearest for sharing .. i will definitely try this.

[@Blueberry-ij4de]

great job

[@dmbmeister0]

It didn't look like you cut it on the bias. Did you? BTW, your video was excellent. Very clear.

[@christineacamas5574]

magnifique c'est très beau !

[@giddyupworkshop4684]

Merci beaucoup Christine. :)

[@JolaChrystel]

Hi where did you buy the things in the middle !!! Congratulations it's amazing

[@giddyupworkshop4684]

+johane devouton Thank you so much. The copper pieces are from the plumbing section of my local hardware store, I think technically they're called couplings.

[@mjohn5115]

May I ask Can this method be used for much longer styles? for example a neck to waist length or longer necklace. Would the rope use pose as heavy weight factor on a thats necklace considerably longer?

[@giddyupworkshop4684]

You can totally do any length you wish, you may just need to stitch several lengths of fabric tubes together. The rope weight could be a factor, some are denser/heavier than others so try different ones. Perhaps a thinner rope is better if it's quite long - have fun with it!

[@marilyncapehart663]

Nice

[@gbogbogehouse]

Please wer can I get d bronze tin u put in the middle of the rope necklace and wats the name

nice

[@iyekallon5510]

Amazing tutorial. One question, where can I buy the rope from? Thanks

[@giddyupworkshop4684]

Iye Kallon Thanks! The most general suggestion I can make is to try your local hardware store. I source mine from a local boat supply shop (I live in a small fishing town), also try a supply surplus shop. Good luck!
