[@TracyMcDowell-ml6si]

These are beautiful! I really like the variation of color and the randomness of it all. Such gorgeous pieces. Great tutorial. Thank you!

[@jewelryjunkie5953]

My bead soups are going to be so happy to see some action!!! Love this! As always you rock ♥️

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Yes,bead soup is perfect for this!

[@khessful]

Thank you so Much for this tutorial! You inspire me!!!

[@sherrihellman7975]

Timeless. I love this!! ❤️❤️ Thank you!

[@joeytipping7436]

My gosh, you are such a wonderful and patient teacher! I love these bracelets and necklaces that you made and since I have a large variety of left overs beads I will give it a go. Thank you so much, Gina! Hugs.

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Yes, give it go, it’s pretty easy and turns out great every time. This type of design is very forgiving, hard to mess up. So, 🤪👍just dive in!

[@donnahoefler2748]

I love the way you made these, not using leather but thread we can get or already have available to us. I like the random feel of them both and think young people would love them also. I may make some for gifts this year. Thanks again Gina love your work.

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

You are very welcome, these are fun, they would make great gifts, I agree. Have fun.💙

[@galemckiddy5120]

I love this stitch, but especially the way you have varied the beads to give it more texture and interest. I am going to cut mine apart and redo it using some pearls and crystals. Thanks so much for your terrific videos. You are awesome!

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

I am happy you like it. It is a fun piece to make.😁

[@kdtarabell]

Today I am going to make a set! I will even try some earrings! LOVELY 😊 idea, you inspire me always! Thank you, Gina!

Fabulous! I am designing some earrings also, this set need some matching ear bobbles, me thinks. Have fun with yours!

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

She’s moving around better, but is Still a long way from better, thank you for thinking of her.💜

[@elizabethrogers6897]

I absolutely LOVE your videos. I like the double knitting technique as well. I have always used a small seed bead next to my knots when I have a bead with a larger hole and that is a very nice look as well. Going to my bead soup bowl to try this with the double knots. Thank you for explaining and showing the knotting technique so well. It is easier and quicker than the way I was knotting. Thank you for posting part 3. I was anxiously awaiting this one. Much Love💖

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

So happy you liked this one, I thought it was worthy enough and more than time consuming to warrant its own video. Have fun knotting!

[@susanroberts]

Oh Gina. This pattern is GORGEOUS! You really are the best instructor on KZbin! I absolutely love you! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us. 💝🥰🤗

Great way to use up bead soup. I also have a ton of S-Lon. Wonderful tutorial. Thanks much.

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

You are very welcome, it is great way to use up extras, and if you so happen to have the cord, well, that’s too perfect! Have fun.

[@sueellens]

I love this Gina. I have so much bead soup I’ve made from the YEARS of collecting 😆...this is a great idea. Beautiful. Thank you. Stay well. Hugs.

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

You said it, sister, I am right there with you. I don’t think I will ever be able to use all my beads, but projects like this help clean up leftovers 😆💜

[@deborahnarendorf7106]

Gina these turned out so pretty. Love your colors. I too like the tassel or the ending of the necklace to be a little longer. Ha! I always pay attention to the back of a necklace someone is wearing and love it when the clasp has a dangle. Thanks for teaching knotting. Looks easy! Will give it a try!

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Yes, it’s those little finishing details that make a piece special.👍😁💜

[@pamschonfarber1041]

I really like how this came out, fun to watch, alot of work with all the knots, but worth how nice it comes out. I also love your fingernail color

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

I am glad you like it, it is a lot of knotting, but easy. So, I find it relaxing and doesn’t seem to be that labor intensive when you can relax😁

[@sherroniopa6274]

I love this. I have so many random beads and I love to knot

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Perfect!have fun with it

[@lindasmith1015]

This is so pretty. I’m going to make two sets to give my girls for Christmas. I can sit in my recliner with my bead board and do this while my cat sits on the arm of the chair watching every move I make. She loves watching me crochet or anything. If I stop to rest my hands she looks at me as if asking. “When are you going to start again, it’s fun watching you work!” You are an awesome instructor. Keep up the great work. I have a bead knotter for making pearls but your way is easier.

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

My dog used to lay with me when I beaded, I miss him. I tried a bead knotter, I didn’t like it. I have always made knots this way, the knotter was clumsy. Enjoy your new project!💙💕

[@maryannneuroth8050]

Gina I really like both necklaces. Today’s is cool colors and the 4 strand is warm colors. I wish that you told us how long it took to make the 6 strand necklace. Did you work on it continuously or did you make it across a few days? Since the necklace cords were so long did you have trouble with tangling and spontaneous knots that you didn’t want? How did you control 8 and a half foot cords? I appreciate any advice. Such pretty necklaces and bracelets. You are a talented artist!❤️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😊🌹

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

I made the 6 strand necklace in a couple days, working about 4 hours in each sitting. You double the strands so they are not eight feat long, after double the three long strands they are about 4 feet long. I didn’t have trouble with tangling or unwanted knots, I separated each strand from the others and knotted one strand at a time. This allows for lots of control.it’s actually a pretty easy process.

I love your work...I notice you do not end your necklaces with chains .. most times you bead out to the clasp.. closing...thanks for your demo... blessings

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Yes, usually I prefer to bead to the clasp, but you can always change up the patterns to add chain if you prefer.

[@AritoJewelsLidia]

Gina great set however I do have a ? About how much you will price this set??????? Thank you sweetheart ❤️❤️❤️

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

I am not sure, it depends on what you use and the cost and time you put into it. This one I would probably price at 75 dollars, it has a lot of beads and time put into it. I could price it higher, but it would not sell. I am a realist.

[@debrablanson1123]

Great idea I must try this and use up some of my bead stash, loving your tweezers those are a must have (must get) for sure😁💜💜💜

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Yes, they work great, they are beading tweezers, they came with my set of jewelry tools.😁

[@susanpicken6874]

Love your process! I have knotting tools which I forget how to use! Lol. Beautiful pieces!

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Thanks, I never could get the hang of knotting tools, tweezers always made more sense to me. But, if you have one, try it out!😆💜

[@kamalmonga142]

How much time did the necklace take to make? thanks. love your videos.

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

About three hours.

[@diamondsandthings]

What is the difference with using SLon and Fireline thread?

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

SLon is made for this type of project, for knotting, and other cord type projects, it is thicker than fire line, the overall aesthetic is different. It completely different type of thread. Fireline is thin and strong and not meant to be seen, just to hold stitches together. They are use for completely different types of projects.

[@diamondsandthings]

@@GGCBeginningbeaders Thank you very much for the clarification.

[@dannyholmes9775]

When I make necklaces the only thing that stumps me is don't know exactly how to close at the end or tie off or even what to use to close off at the end .

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Hi Danny, all of my projects will show you how to end and clasp the pieces. Different methods are used for different projects. I recommend watching some on the bead string playlist. That way you can learn what to use and how to use it.

[@anamera4016]

Gina, you are such a wonderful teacher! Thank you for your great videos and beautiful designs! I love the look of the pearls in this design. Could you share where you got them? They are the perfect size for the S-Lon thread.

You are so awesome! I love your videos so much, and yes of I'm a subscriber. BTW... You have beautiful hands. I love how you keep your nails polished so nice. I love the way you handle your work. I love it when you say things like, "you can do it" or "take your time". I love it when you not only teaching, but encouraging at the same time. I especially love how you make something from each month bead box. Thank you for teaching and encouraging.

[@susanfox705]

When I use beading cold like SLon, I use square knots to finish the ends but I make a loop first and add the button last. I like the look of your version.. If you have six strands you can do fun things with square and larks head knots. Doing the button first is a thing that makes me say “Hmmm.”

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

There are many ways to do every type of project, square knots, sliding knots, macrame and so on. This is a simple version, that is finished nicely and functional. You can of course do whatever you like. Tying the button first is logical for this design layout. There are no set ways, just those that work and those that do not. This is a beginners channel, I keep things simple and pretty. But, it’s all up to you, how you want your necklace to look. Thanks for watching and commenting!😁

[@denisseroman7737]

For how much would you price this set? I know that using different types of beads will affect the price

[@GGCBeginningbeaders]

Well, they are time and bead consuming pieces, probably 50 dollars, more than that, would not sell. You can put huge prices on things, calculating your time and costs, but experience has shown me, people do not pay those prices, I don’t price each bead in a piece like this. I give it a general value.
