time actually goes by really fast when you make kandi! i usually take an hour-3 hours for my kandi (other than flower cuffs which are super easy lol) and i don’t even notice! i just make them late at night when i’m bored while scrolling through tiktok or watching a movie

[@cheesypoo2407]

@@keilanisaucedo5308 Yeah, when I made this i messed up so ended up with some huge cuff that was sucky and i cant tie them off properly

[@keilanisaucedo5308]

@@cheesypoo2407 i use lame cord instead of stretch cord bc it’s more sturdy, whenever i tie mine off i just tie it as if it’s a shoe! i hope this helps 😟🤞🤞

first part took me like 4-5 hours time goes by really fast though only felt like 1 last part took me I took breaks for like a few days but in total only too me 2-3 hours again went cook only felt like 1

[@ghost_gurrrl]

idk why but the way you talk is so calming to me 😭 like i tend to get stressed when i don’t understand the pattern but i never seem to during your tutorials

[@mooonblooom]

I've been wanting to make one of these for a while, but I still don't have enough beads :,)

[@MariahArgillaton]

Awe! It took me awhile to get them all together! Hopefully you’ll be able to make it in the near future tho!💕💕💕 big hugs!

[@Pmptupkx]

How many does it take?

[@NikoandArrow]

i’m making this for a girl at school cause she asked SUPER nicely and didn’t ask until i said “i’m comfortable with making anyone kandi tbh. as long as they aren’t rude and say ‘it’s taking too long!’” >_

[@breeplays1430]

So niceee

You are the reason this is my hobby now. I keep coming back. Ty sm ❤

I chose this as my very first kandi project and good lord my hands are killing me and it took like 6 hours, so worth it though I love it 😆😆

I'm making a small rotating cuff to wear at school, and I'm excited to see what it'll look like :)

I'm making a 7 x rotating cuff with singles and extras I'm so cooked man I've been working on this for 2 days already and I just got done with the 7th x😭

[@michelleconti5489]

I made my first rotating cuff using this tutorial. You made everything clear and easy to follow. My cuff came out amazing!

Thank you so much this was a great tutorial! I am a beginner so I did not do one as big and made a ladder stitch for the rotating part and this whole tutorial still helped so much! Thank you for being so clear so I could understand! You did so great keep it going!!!

[@paulajohnson2940]

Love this tutorial. I used it to make my very first rotating cuff and I Love the way it turned out!!!! Thanx so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you sooo much! I have sensory issues and this helps so much! You made it so easy to make this and honestly this is one of my top three favorite tutorials. :)

[@Allison-xd7yf]

This a fantastic video. This is the first video I have watched that helped me make a cuff like this. Thank you so much for the amazing video. You’re doing so well. Keep up the good work :).

[@Willow_Playz_WHI]

As a beginner I liked this…except for the fact that it took me approximately 11 hours to finish this…..

[@Kittylovescats27]

Hii so I made this and this was my first one I ever made, and it only took me (personally) 7 hours (2 hours I had to restart the outside)

[@Willow_Playz_WHI]

@ ;-; I was procrastinating while making it so that’s why it took me 11 hours to

[@Lyss4Mania]

This video was so helpful! I’ve already made two of them! I can’t wait to make more!

[@Alex-tg9jj]

this is such a good tutorial thank you! i really appreciate how easy it is to follow and your tone is very soothing

[@coquettel0v3r]

Your tutorials are so good! You explain where the string is coming from and where it goes in! I made alot of pacman ghosts from your pacman tutorial and it was very easy to understand! Ty very much for being understanding and demonstrating it well.

[@Xenosdragonz]

As a beginner who started 4 days ago i am happy:3

[@El1xorie]

i made one of these, they were my first like "big" peice cuz i always did singles before, but i challenged myself and it turned out ACTUALLY really good!!! And i think i'll be able to do much more complicated designs from now one after i managed to do this one

[@haileybailey1175]

Thank you for this!!! I thought making a rotating cuff was impossible but I was able to make one thanks to you! :D

[@thatdeadmeme]

Thank you so much for this!!! This was so easy to follow. I’ve been so excited to make one of these since I got into kandi crafts. It looked so daunting in the pictures, but I ended up finishing this first one in no time at all!! Legit one of the best tutorials I’ve ever followed, thank you!!!💖💖💖

[@salfisherman5551]

This was so helpful and I'll definitely be using this video next time I make one, thanks!

[@annieberardino8732]

I also add a dab of clear nail polish to the knots on my pieces. Never had one break or come loose. 😊

[@sarahockhalter3646]

This is one of the best tutorials. I love that you say point bead instead of the bead color because I get so confused when they say the bead color cause my bead colors are different lol

[@littlethieny793]

I really liked this tutorial I understood everything unlike other videos thanks for the help making this!

[@CandyBoot]

This tutorial was SUPER HELPFUL!!!🥰I just made my 1st rotating cuff (except for the inner cuff part)) with rainbow beads & some stars. I then just added some singles over it, & it looks awesome!

[@stonedsimpson3147]

i started mine without the tutorial cuz after i saw the 2 pieces i figured i could do it. i was wrong. good thing i only did the big x part cuz i made it 4 x's instead of 5 and wouldve made the spinning part too small

[@expiredlemons]

Would regular elastic string work as well? I would love to make one of these, but they're so time consuming and if it's going to come out flimsy due to the elastic I wouldn't want to waste time on it! Thanks!!

[@flazlame3562]

It should, I’ve seen other ppl use it

[@expiredlemons]

@@flazlame3562 thank you!

[@laylatherat6228]

I am cutting making one with elastic string and I'm done with the base and it's holding up pretty well so yeah

[@qwatzm]

it does! i made all of mine with elastic

[@ArsonOnNeptune]

Elastic tends to work better than the plastic string. The plastic string is harder to work with (in my experience), and is more likely to explode. Do be careful with how tight your elastic is. Also better for the rotating part to slide on and off

[@idklol1365]

this actually seems easier than i thought!! thank you!!

[@wavyocean3109]

Make sure you use a plastic yarn needle at the end of your string that your threading with! Makes it so much easier to get the string through the beads!

You have to do an even amount of beads for a base

[@Ilive2worshipsleeptoken]

Ok guys I figured it out if anyone us stuck, yk how you were doing 3 beads and skipping the bottom point and going to the next point? Keep doing that, after 8:15 in the video how she skips, she just kept doing the same thing. Once you get to the top(after you've made 5 x's) then do it like you were before just with 2 beads now, I hope this helped

[@keikokat6081]

This seems very easy to follow but my walmart only sells a pack of 2300 beads divided into lots of colors only to leave a little bit of beads in one color- anyone know a place where i cam buy/order bulk? Also does anyone know roughly how much beads this rotating cuff I would need?

[@leeisoffline]

I 100% recommend amazon (though fuck amazon) it's the best place to buy bulk beads-! but I haven't made the cuff yet so i do not know how many beads it takes :(

[@redBXLLBLZE420]

Bead tin! Huge shipping expense (to me lmao) but you can get a lot of beads fir a pretty good price!

[@nervous_young_inhuman]

Beadtin is pretty great that's where I got my beads I would definetly recommend that instead of Amazon since of all the shitty things about that company

[@puppiesgacha2948]

Nooooooo I started making one and I ran out of beads at the 3d bit. I got the top 3d bit done but the bottom isn't done :') I'm trying to make a Bonnie (FNAF 2 version) FNAF themed rotating cuff and I ran out of blue. How am I supposed to make it Bonnie themed without blue 😤

[@c1nn4m4z1ng]

If I replace the black beads with beads that are star-shaped, does it still work?

[@CandyBoot]

It’s possible since I did that with my outer cuff on the 3D parts. In my experience, the X pattern will look a bit wonky, & the stars will also be sitting somewhat crooked. Most of my star beads stay upright while a few lay flat. Otherwise, the cuff looks AMAZING. ⭐️👅⭐️

approximately how many beads were used?

[@alphabetsoup9480]

A lot

[@-_-_-_mochamochacafe-_-_-_]

16:49 okay, so this part is actually confusing me a lot and I'm getting a headache, I think the pointy beads (when you first put your beads in) are supposed to be lined up with the ones you already done, but for some reason mine aren't doing that and it's really frustrating :(

[@FauxzFurr]

i really wanna mąkę one but i dont know what colours to use and i dont have much beads

I know this may be a difficult answer but how many beads would you say you need of each color if you’re only doing the two?

[@glued...tomelanie]

heyyy my x base cuff always ends up becoming floppy. any tips?

So was mine! But I trusted the process and it ended up standing but you need to make sure your pulling the string tight*

Sorry I'm late. If you made the rotating bit 1x, then it would be the perfect size for it
