Thank you so much for making and sharing this! I have some very cherished rolled bead necklaces my grandmother made over 50 years ago and I've always wondered how she did it. This will give me the opportunity to make some bracelets for family that will hopefully become cherished heirlooms as well.

[@jhazzazi9575]

Love your video. It’s straight to the point!!!! Have watched others and they seem to take 10 mins just to explain what they are going to do!!!! Will be looking to your other videos. Thank you

[@donnahartin2870]

Amazing video! So easy to follow and I love the way you joined it looks so perfect

[@Elle-ww8un]

Earned a Subscriber today. I have been trying to figure this out forever! You explained it so beautifully! I can't thank you enough there are so many patterns I have wanted to try.

[@LindaGross604]

Oh my goodness, I have tried to do this for YEARS! Tried so many tutorials and nobody has been as clear as your excellent tutorial. I even moved to Kumihimo to make this effect because I couldn't figure out the join and start next row. You've made it so easy - I can't wait to start my next project. Thank you!!!

[@MaryCochrane]

You have a nice, calm voice and way about you. Perfect for a teacher. Thank You. Love from Ontario, Canada ❤❤❤

[@palaceofpolish8617]

This is the BEST video that I've seen, for starting and ending these bracelets. Thank you, so much. ❤❤❤❤

[@user-ez5pe3gv1i]

Finally a tutorial for these I can actually follow. I love these bracelets!

[@judithheinemann8439]

Beautifully done! Thank you so much! You are an excellent teacher. I enjoy crochet and am currently doing bead work. Never thought you could combine the two. Very exciting.

[@Patsyc240]

This is the best video! I’ve watched others but this one is A+! Thank you

[@kuetee1]

Simply Beautiful. I have tried so many times and end up undoing my design. Your method is so clear and easy. I know I can get it down now. Thank you.

[@robinmaddox8294]

Thank you for the wonderfully clear video/instructions! I have made three bracelets. The first I accidentally used 6.0 beads which still turned out great and obviously a tad chunkier. I absolutely needed a magnifying glass for the next two which were the 8.0 beads. I added 1/2 inch to my wrist measurement which was perfect as the bracelets roll nicely on and off.

[@deborahohanlon2078]

Thank you! Very clear directions!

[@lindaschilling6850]

Love this! The colors are so earthy and calming 💖

[@doloresungerleider4984]

You are an excellent teacher. I would have used a slightly darker beige or gold thread and pulled the thread tighter. Crochet ropes are one of my favorite beading projects. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

[@sophievanderbilt1325]

Wow what a great tutorial! And yes, the first few rows are the hardest since they look like a birds nest until they take shape haha.

[@jo-ellencbosson3783]

These videos are such a gift! Fusion beads is a wonderful company.

[@paulahawes8694]

Just found your tutorial. My grandmother did this back in the day. Beautiful. I am going to try this soon. Thank you for the easy to follow instructions.

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Aww, so grateful that we could bring you closer to her in a small way!

[@barbaradolan4053]

Excellent tutorial - can’t wait to start a bracelet.

[@shawnblevins2138]

Wow, I have crocheted for a very long time, but never knew how to make these. Great tutorial.

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Thank you! We wish you all the best in bead crocheting!

[@HeyHrach]

Bravo! I just stumbled across this type of bracelet for sale and I'm a DIY chick so when I came across this tutorial, I felt confident that I could do it! I've never crocheted before but this seems easy enough even for newbies like me!

[@FusionBeadsSea]

We're so glad we've given you confidence that you can do it! Best of luck to you!

[@gilborges7343]

[@pattyrdh1987]

Beautiful 🤩

[@wendyleondejuda206]

Thanks great and beaitiful tutorial! Well done..💖

[@sprengertrinker]

Oh my gosh thank you SO much for explaining where the bead needs to sit after the first layer. I was trying to do the sunset bracelet pattern from another fusion bead tutorial and probably looped and unlooped the same damn 20 beads a hundred times because it wasn't quite looking right and your tips finally got me there.

[@brendamcdonald8699]

You’re a great teacher 😊

[@brittany7734x92]

What a great tutorial, thank you so much... This was the best video that I've seen that explains the technique. You made it appear so easy, I can't wait to try it!

Awesome! We are grateful it's a keeper for you!

[@creativityhub72]

Beautiful 😍

[@flohale9515]

Excellent tutorial...💖

[@C.Darnell]

Thank you for showing this! On the one hand it looks very easy, and I usually (or used to) pick up this stuff quickly enough. Right now, though, I am completely stymied. I see what you're doing, but my hands no longer want to play. I'm sticking with you, though. We're going to do this or die in the effort. My first few attempts were with dark green beads and dark green thread. Who did I think I was? I switched to colors of spectrum and white thread. Made a difference, but still taking my knocks. Each time I get a little further before I have to start again. Good thing I'm retired.

[@sweepiebprold3461]

Thank You , that was so detailed i cant wait to get started.

[@rjogarcia]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you for sharing your skill. You’ve made it very clear and I am excited to try it!

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Yay! We look forward to seeing your finished piece!

[@Callie_FL]

Thanks for this! Bought the kit & made this and it came out pretty well. Excellent kit to learn with. Fusion is the best!

[@FusionBeadsSea]

We are grateful Claire for your encouraging words. An we're very excited to know your crochet bracelet turned out so well!

[@diananelson4037]

Claire LeBlanc where did u find a kit for this?

[@Callie_FL]

@@diananelson4037 They used to have a larger site that had kits & such. They've cut back a lot.

[@queenbombus]

😢 this is why I was so confused. I didn’t realize that bead was supposed to go between the first and last beads if the chain. Thank you so much ❤

[@lindabevan3464]

Brilliant tutorial - clear and instructive without to much waffle. Fantastic thank you so much

[@FusionBeadsSea]

We're glad you enjoyed, Linda!

[@MoonLight-jm7jl]

Thank you so much for your tutorial, finally I understood what was my mistake making this croshet bracelet .After watching several videos your tutorial helped me.Happy beading🌸☀️

[@jesseesmith4463]

Excellent tutorial - one of the clearest and easiest to follow that I've seen! I'm a lefty and have had a really hard time learning this technique, but maybe I can watch it in a mirror? :)

[@denyseingram3490]

I'm a Left too and just finished watching this and can hardly wait until payday to get my beads and thread~

[@Eibmozluver]

I have been trying to do this for so long, and then I found this tutorial. Now there will be no stopping me! I can't wait. Best tutorial on KZbin!

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Great to hear! We look forward to what you create!

[@Eibmozluver]

@@FusionBeadsSeaI just got a whole bunch of beads! Can't wait to start making some beautiful bracelets. 😊

[@mosesphindile3778]

Ooh my goodness I have to try this

[@laurabalcar8290]

I have been watching tutorials and even started trying to bead crochet. I got very frustrated because I wasn’t seeing where to put the thread exactly after you push the bead down and being down the next bead. Now after your video I feel like I finally have the hang of it. Thank you so much!

[@ansjeloef8770]

I really love the colors. Just the other day my sister asked me if I could make her a crochet beaded bracelet. Now, with your instructions I think I can do it. Only she wants a specific pattern that I'm not sure of, but I'll try. Thank you for sharing a very well done video.

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Awesome Ansje! We hope you and your sister enjoy it. Please let us know if you have any questions at all. We are available at [e-mail].

Thank you tons Lisa! We are grateful to hear, Katie is a master and an amazing teacher for beading crochet! We are so grateful our tutorial helped you!

[@MRenaeL]

Love this! Just finished my first bracelet took me a few hours a couple days for like 6 hours all together to get it done. Super excited but I can make these now because they charge like 20 bucks for them online and now I can make my own designs and colors and stuff

[@FusionBeadsSea]

That is awesome! We are firm believer's in the DIY of all jewelry designs you find!

I have never done a crochet bead bracelet or necklace. I use to do a lot of Native American seed bead jewelry many years ago including the Peyote stitch. I had given all my seed beads away to family children. I would love to try this craft and Your video was so easy to follow and learn from. Thank you.

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Hi Lynn! Thank you for sharing your story and your feedback. We are working towards creating all tutorials that are easy to follow regardless of the style of beading. We hope you get back into beading soon!

Por favor den el tutorial en español es muy bonito el trabajo. Gracias

Very good tutorial and beautiful bracelet, but when I do Kumihimo , I need only 400 beads and had the same effekt !

I love you!!!!!!! I have been trying to master this for sooooooo long. I gave up but just came across your tutorial and had another go! I can do it :) thank you for a wonderful tutorial xxxxx

[@kathybray7156]

I love this but i believe its a bit to advanced for me but i love how it looks maybe some day i will be able to try this ❤

[@ArDeeMee]

You could just try it and see if it works for you. I tend to do projects far too massive or detailed for me, but that’s how I learn. And I do complete most of them. If it turns out to be too complicated yet, then simply unravel it and pack it up for another time. =)

[@nicolatini5397]

I absolutely love this bracelet Please tell me you have them for sale.

how do you size to fit? does the bracelet easily go over your wrist?

Can you make a video on how to double crochet rope? I've looked up how to videos on what to do but I can't see what they are doing good enough to learn. You're videos are so clean and I can understand everything your saying. I love your videos. It would be really awesome if you could please make one.

[@raymondgimay4642]

Hi can you explain why you do the loop over and do a stitch with no beads at the ending end other videos come up through the last bead before the join. Is there a reason why you do it this way? Thank you for your reply Patricia

[@rosemartin4702]

Thank you so much! This was a great tutorial and after all these years I finally got it!

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Hi Rose! We are stoked to hear you finally got it down! Beaded crochet is certainly not the easiest to learn but once you do - its a breeze. We are so proud of you!

[@korneliaking131]

how long was your beaded work before you started crochet it

[@bocajean]

How did you measure to know what length to make the crochet rope so that the bangle would go over your hand and not be too large on your wrist?

Very nice, thank you very much.👏
