Gina, I've been watching jewelry tutorials for many years and you are BY FAR the best teacher on the Internet. I love your work AND your personality. Thank you!

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Awe, you are sweet, thank you and thank you for watching! It’s nice to know you are out there with me💙❤️

[@veraljaskowskymaschinist8083]

You are my teacher you are the best

[@rhondawymer6320]

I realize this is a 3 year old video but I cannot stop thinking that I would LOVE to have beads the color of your nail polish!! Thanks for a simple and neat design!!!

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

LOL, I am not sure what color I was wearing, but there are some great nail polish colors for sure. I am glad you like the design.

[@connieborg6471]

Slender, Sweet and Simple. Ticks off all my Ss. Thanks so much Gina!

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Connie Borg yes, simple is always more wearable. I like designing big crazy pieces,but to wear them, these are the pieces I choose.

[@rhondawilliams9449]

How sweet this bracelet is. I love round crystals. I think this will make a lovely Easter gift. I better get started because it's coming up fast. Thank you for the demonstration, I always enjoy your tutorials.

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Rhonda Williams true, Easter is on us!have fun!

[@j.whiteoak6408]

I di love making this bracelet, Gina - thank you so very much for sharing this gorgeous, but simple design! It's become my favourite go-to design whenever I need to make a special gift for someone. Whether I use Crystals, Pearls, Gemstones or Glass beads in any variety of tasteful colours - they've always worked out beautifully! My second favourite is the one I did in Natural Fluorite Gemstone beads with the base seed beads in Gunmetal Green, with Gunmetal Purple 11/0's in the centre. My absolute fave was done with Gold Galvanised seed beads on the base and centre 11/0's with 7 Units of alternating 4mm White Pearls and 4mm Faceted Narural Rubies. I finished it with a solid 9k Y. Gold Box Clasp that I took from a barely-worn bracelet... Its stunning and I wear it with anything red! I also made matching earrings and a V-necklace and at the focal point I added a large Facetted Ruby Briolette drop with 10mm & 8mm Pearls above it... And I never fails to get compliments on them all. People look at me in total disbelief when I tell them I made it myself! You're an amazing designer and a fabulous teacher Gina. THANK YOU!

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

[@darlaboyle1074]

Another beautiful bracelet! ♥️♥️♥️ I used to hate reinforcing but you're right, it holds the beads better, therefore making it prettier. 🌸🌸🌸 Same thing with going through 2 beads at a time. Trying to do more makes it all wonky.

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Exactly! It is important if you want a neat and strong piece😁😁😁

Great tutorial. Easy to follow. Just made two of these bracelets. They are so nice. 👍😎ps...next day made three more. They really turn out so gorgeous. I tried some non metallic 8/0’s and 11/0’s for a more casual look. Very happy with them

[@annegredler5364]

Very pretty bracelet! I know this is a beginner channel and I am nowhere near a beginner (been doing bead weaving for several years) but it seems to me that it would be better to either (1) not put on the clasp first so if you have to add/remove RAW units evenly from both sides of the bracelet to adjust the fit (so you don’t get one side longer than the other) or (2) do the center section first and then add RAW units evenly to both sides to whatever length you need. Just a suggestion to make it easier for beginners to get it right the first time especially when everyone has a different tension, a bigger/smaller/different style clasp, or use Miyuki instead of Toho seed beads.

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Perhaps, but the video is done now. Hind sight is always 20/20. Thanks for the comment. Perhaps it will offer ideas to the viewers. 👍

Morgan Leah this one is about an inch in diameter.

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

[@MargieM10]

Beautiful! Can you tell me what brand and size the toggle is and what color your seed beads are? Where I can get the Chinese crystals? I bought the things to make this but with pearl seeds and Czech glass rounds 🤷 Hopefully it'll be cute but I'd love to have one like yours too!

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Margie I don’t know what brand the toggle is, generally I just buy what ever I like. This one is about an inch in diameter, I bought it at Michaels. At the start of the video, I tell you what colors I used and show the beads and discuss the types I am using. You can buy Chinese crystals on Amazon, or several bead supply sites. They are very easy to find. Try chinesecrystalbeads.com

[@kimberliebyington5245]

I love it I want make it in a 🌈 with purple 💜

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Yes, purple is good😁👍

[@fredaskaggs3611]

Instead of a toggle clasp could I use a different clasp, like maybe is in the tennis bracelet video?

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Freda Skaggs sure, you can use whatever clasp you want, just sew through it the same way.

[@yomama8873]

🤩🤩🤩💖💖

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

thanks!

[@maryzylema9699]

Czech beads have little butterflies about the size of the 4 beads in the middle. I was wondering if maybe they could be substituted for those,but they only have a hole through the middle of the bead. I just thought they would look so cute in that bracelet.

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Try it! You may have to modify the embellishment stitch, but it could be very cute!

[@debledoux39]

Gina, why do you burn your he thread when done with your bracelet? Does it secure the he knot?

[@virginiaquiroga6631]

Not too familiar with seed beads so just wondering if you need to use tojo beads? Can you use regular seed beads?

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

You can use any brand, but Toho are a little larger than most brands so you may need to adjust numbers of beads you use to accommodate smaller seed beads

Beautiful, l love it thank you.

Hi Gina... it’s gorgeous... can this be made with three strands... like a multi strand bracelet

Hello Gina, thanks for the great tutorials. I made some of them and they turned out very well. However, if I remember correctly, you had a tutorial for a bracelet with crystal cubes (it is not the Crystal Station Bracelet.) It was made with read and clear cubes. I have been looking for it for days now, but no luck. Please help! TY in advance. :)))

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Hi Rita, flatten your thread on the end with flat nose pliers. Then try threading your needle.

[@margaretjohnson1294]

If I used 10/0, instead of the 11/0, would it be too big?
