Beading chain 101, Part One

[@CH-do8lh]

Your instruction and camera angles/zoom are just wonderful, thank you. And it's always more enjoyable to watch an instructional video when the person's nails are in great shape. Keep up the good work.

[@mariaalanis1078]

So very beautiful reditions Gina! Thank you so much for showing us how to use the Coriana chain! This was one of Wendy's favorite chain. ❣️

[@Mustangs73]

I just bought 4 colors of this chain and thought I would have to learn by trial and error. Your video saved me ! Thanks for being a step ahead.

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

You are very welcome, have fun with your chain💜

[@lorenachamberlin1492]

Hello Gina, I thank you for this tutorial. I did watch an older video you did on floating necklaces with this type of chain. I ordered everything back then and now have everything I need to make these necklaces.. I finished this tutorial and love the results. I separated the three crystals by a couple cm, and it still looks great. I wish you had a FB page so that we could share our completions from your tutorials. You're a great teacher Gina. Thank you for the time you put into these videos for us all. Lorena

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Actually, I just made a FB page for this channel and I have a page called Gina’s Gem Creations too. It seems I cannot figure out how to share the page on my iPad. I will include the links in newer videos when I am on my computer.

[@mary-kittybonkers2374]

Thanks for your great tutorial. I discovered bead chain a few months ago, I’ve got gold coloured, silver and antique bronze. I’ve made several necklaces and I love the way the metal is visible through the beads. Thanks for showing different ways of securing the ends. I use the clam shells and crimp beads, and it took a lot of practice to get it right. I’m going to try the crimp tube ends because they look simpler and prettier. Thanks again😊.

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

You are very welcome, the crimp tubes take a little practice too, but they are a nicer way to end the chain

[@DaniK719]

I love how you patiently take the time to give all the details of all the materials you used. Then, you show everything from the beginning of the project to the end.

Yes, most anything silver tarnishes, especially in a humid environment. I keep a jewelry polishing cloth and silver cleaner in my bead room, that way I can clean anything that looks a little tarnished. Have fun playing with the chain!

Dear Gina, hi, I have a question to ask: I've been looking everywhere for those great crimp tubes with the loops on the end of them. A friend of mine wants me to make her a necklace out of snake chain/beading chain with a crystal drop hanging from it. I bought some of the chain already, so I just need the tubes. What should the inside diameter of the tubes be, to fit over the chain? Thank you so much Gina, love from Amanda in Melbourne, Australia ❤️

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Hi, The ideal inner diameter would be 1mm, you can go slightly above that, maybe up to 1.5mm, any larger than that is just too big. These little tubes are very hard to find. Try Firemountaingems.com, probably be your best bet. I think they ship internationally.

[@amandajones6481]

@@GGCBeginningbeaders Thank you so much Gina, I found the crimpable cord ends, as they're called here in Australia! Luckily I found a shop here that sells them, which made the delivery charge a lot less painful 😅!! What is the diameter of your beading chain Gina? I'm asking because I've noticed that there's chain in different diameters available. The type I've got is 0.75mm in thickness, but does it come in other thicknesses, like 0.5mm?

Sometimes I can adjust it out but, it’s difficult to get it perfect every time. If I am out too far, no one can see the details of tiny components. I try to stay centered.

[@LNRob]

Gina this is beautiful, what simple clasps do you recommend that are not too pricey but good for not tarnishing or fading? Last thing you want is to gift someone a time consumed bead weaving piece and have the clasp turn colors lol

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

You can buy tarnish resistance clasps, but most eventually tarnish. Most people know, or I hope they know, they can use tarnish removal cloths. I don’t really have any particular favorite clasps, I just pick pretty ones. But, you can always purchase small tarnish cloths and include them with the pieces you sell.

How do I appropriately size the loop crimps, crimp beads and clam shell covers to the chain diameter?

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

If you are using .6 beading chain, I tell you all the sizes of everything to use in the video. If you are using bigger chain then just but crimp end with an inner diameter not more than .5mm bigger. With clam shell cover and crimp tubes buy multiple size packages and try them until you find what fits best, then you will get a feel for sizes and types of components that will work for you. Unfortunately, there is no pre-set or made for each other components for jewelry making products of this sort. It just takes experimentation and creativity. But, it’s not as difficult as it sounds. ❤️
