I went to a thrift shop today and found a red beaded necklace with 7 large red beads and various other size red beads, I already had some end caps, filigree balls, and some gold wire. I made my first one, and I love it. I will be making more.

[@SoftFlexCompany]

That is awesome! They are so pretty!

Thank you! This is a fun project.

[@stellaruiz4425]

Totally nice. Look outside the box. Decorating establishments with a certain color ....let’s say for a holiday or cause. Even high class....to even colorful ice cream places would really be cool. How would you string them.? Thanks. Still looking at your video... lol. Thanks

Hi from Brisbane Australia

[@SoftFlexCompany]

Hey there! Thanks for watching!

[@08squareeyes08]

beautiful, what is the difference with the soft wire please

[@SoftFlexCompany]

The wire used here is Soft flex Craft Wire. It has a copper center and can be work hardened to about half hard.

[@ThorneyRose]

Those pads/white blocks (are they acrylic?) that you used to flatten the hook - do you sell them? I looked on your site; couldn’t see them so though I’d ask if you do. If not, do you know where I could source them? Thank you for your time and thank you for sharing. 🌹Rosie of Oz🇦🇺 & 🐶Omega the Cavalier🐶. (my dog likes to watch KZbin with me😊)

[@SoftFlexCompany]

We do! It's called a Wire Whacker, you can find it under Tools in the Wire Working section.

[@SoftFlexCompany]

Here's' the link if KZbin allows it ... softflexcompany.com/wire-whacker/

[@benedictecarchibald4841]

wat,s the name of the second first perl on the white and gold icicle the big white white tiny stones??

[@SoftFlexCompany]

It is a white boho bead from Jesse James Beads.

[@benedictecarchibald4841]

@@SoftFlexCompany thank you so much.

[@michellecarter5122]

Where can I find a wooden jig board

[@ginagray8442]

need to know how long the wire is. can't cut about 3' and waste it, can't afford that. so how much does it take to make one? ty

[@SoftFlexCompany]

I would do 3x the length of your icicle to ensure you have enough wire. If you plan on making a few, once you create your first one you can measure how much you cut off at the end and adjust to using less wire if possible. You don't want to run out of wire

[@carriehollister2543]

You're going to need a little room to work with or you're going to end up wasting more if you don't.

[@incendi4ry]

I'm glad I watched past 30 seconds of the video because that was trippy with the feedback recorded that way...

[@SoftFlexCompany]

Oh my! I totally forgot that happened! Maybe I’ll reshoot that this Fall! ❤️

[@kathy6936]

Can I ask a question. If I was to attach a crystal to the bottom , how would I go about it ? I tried a jump ring. . didn't work ? :(

[@SoftFlexCompany]

Instead of wrapping the bottom tightly to the bottom bead you will need to create a wire loop and then attach the jump ring to that loop with the charm. In our Soft Flex VIB Studio Group on Facebook I know a few people shared this idea with a charm on the bottom to see.

[@elizabethcalabro9674]

Hi Sara! from Tucson sound is good now I'm watching replay

[@sjosly2]

Yes got feedback and somehow you fixed it

[@susanelotmani]

What are the beads called on the website so I can search for them?

[@SoftFlexCompany]

You can use any beads. The beads used in this design were from custom bead strands from Jesse James Beads. They carry these bead strands in lots of colors.

[@zoeshandmadedesigns]

Can I ask I'm gonna make some of these for a xmas craft fare I'm at on Saturday how many would you say in a pack I was thinking 6.but not sure what to charge maybe £8 then a 10 pack for £10 I really don't have a clue 😅 I've only recently started my business

[@SoftFlexCompany]

Pricing can vary based on your supplies, your market, it's something you'll figure out with trial and error so I'm not 100% sure. That said I have sold these for around $15 a piece in shops local to my area. - Kristen

[@SonyaFahrenbacher]

Thank you for sharing! I’m definitely gonna make these for gifts. Love the idea ❤️

[@kellyross4801]

When you do these things, it sometimes helps if everyone else but you turn off the microphone. 😁

[@SoftFlexCompany]

Not my finest moment! Oh well, beading goes on!

If you fast forward, it gets fixed. Sorry for the difficulty. I need to reshoot this one.
