Love it!! I love the bump tip for knowing what side you need to do next in a square knot. With that one little tip, you've saved me so much time and unknotting in jewelry and macrame projects. I've watched SSSOOO many macramé tutorials and have never heard that before, so thank you very much!! I may try this one with czech glass instead of the seed beads. I'll let you know how it turns out!! 😊

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

It was so very helpful to me when I first learned how to macrame. I’m glad it helped you too!

[@truthbetold4178]

Kellie, Most sincerely...you are the very best jewelry instructor in the web world. Your designs are always beautiful, you are patient to ensure that the student understands your instructions and why you're doing what you do, and you present yourself as a truly lovely person (and I believe that you are). I send my thanks from Michigan with warm wishes for your continued success~ 💕

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Thank you SO much for taking the time to not only watch my videos but to write such a lovely review. I absolutely love being able to teach people how to be creative and make their own beautiful pieces. I’m glad that comes across in my teaching. ❤️❤️❤️

[@dalemills7926]

Exactly she seems like she's your friend next door..I learned my barrel knots because of her..

[@debbreitels2995]

Now I know how to make this bracelet! You sent it in my order as a gift when you were closing your store. I love it.

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Fabulous! 🎉🎉🎉

[@whisperjam33m24]

I just ordered this! I adore the idea of using rhinestone chain! Bling bling!

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Thank you!

[@jacquehranica2150]

So here I am reviving your bracelet in 2022. And thanks for all the extra help you provided with the best supplies.

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

You are very welcome! ❤️

[@melissalogan8391]

So beautifully explained, Kellie! It looked like it was going to be hard to get everything in the right place, but the step by step instructions were perfect. I used blue painter's tape to hold my bling chain in place while I worked, which helped keep it from flopping around. Thank you!

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Glad it was helpful!

[@msharno1]

I have lots of cup chain and this is a great way to use it up…another smash hit!

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Glad you like it!

[@kathrynsmith2684]

OH MY!! I LOVE this bracelet!! I was hoping you would do a video on how to make it. You are right, it will be my new favourite bracelet. I thoroughly enjoy your calm thoughtful way of explaining the instructions.💗💗💗👏😍

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Thanks Kathryn! It’s one of my faves and I’m happy it’s one of yours too!! I hope you give this one a try. ❤️

[@cynthiaperry132]

Thank you Kellie for your wonderful tutorials I just wish I could reach your store as I am finding hard to order from England is it possible I could order by post? As I'm finding it hard to find all the components anyway near where I live yours sincerely c a Perry cynthia

Kelly , hope this finds you well ! Thank you for sharing all you do ! 🤟🏻❤️💋🌹

[@sharonriley4137]

This is great fun ! I'm making a second one and finding it easier and easier to get the linen thread tightened up so that it's very even. And minding my Ps an Qs ! I used a 6" x 8" , shallow glass pyrex container to loop the leather over and store the seed beads in as I worked... just for those of us who don't have a cool bead tray with a lip. Love the bling - but I wish I could find some beads in a chain, like this in other colors and finishes. Some swarovski pearls would be fun....perhaps I can string them and use knots to space them out . Thanks very much for sharing and teaching.

[@sherroniopa6274]

I bought this kit a while back, and only now I am getting to put it together. I love the way you explain things so well. Thank you very much!

[@lourdesmonterrosa9591]

Kellie, you are awesome!! Love every single item you have made. I will be trying this one today and might make one for each of my 3 girls. Love your beautiful personality as well. Stay blessed.

That’s a beautiful bracelet I didn’t know I never realized you could use the chaton chains with that application. I’m going to be looking for them the next time I shop for beads.

[@swannee22]

Love your creations and videos!!! Could you use 4mm rhinestones and 6/0’s and .5mm leather instead of the waxed lined cord?? Thank you so much for taking time to teach us! God bless!

I am trying this for the first time. Being awkward as I am, I did this on a macrame board, and I found it easier to pull the waxed linen through the loop with a crochet hook,! Just FYI. THANKS for sharing this tutorial! Love your videos!

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Awesome! Everyone has a way to make it easier for them. Thanks for watching. 😀

Kellie, This is a beautiful design with the cupchain and seed beads. I also wonder about using 2-3mm crystals instead of the seed beads, more bling the better!!! Thanks for sharing your desgn.

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Sure, as long as you can get the Irish Waxed Linen through the holes. Have fun and play around with it!

[@janiscollier8571]

in general-any preference for buttons? either one with holes or the ones with a loop?? I've been using the loop and it's a little tricky to put on and off. Your thoughts??

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

I like any kind. I maybe do lean a bit more to buttons with shanks.

[@butterflyonmyplate4659]

Question: I will try it but I have a rhinestone w/o chain (on a strand of strings)and its bigger...does it matter what size rhinestones that I use? JFI

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

I’ve never tried other sizes so I’m not sure.

Hello dear... I made it...yey..👏 Thanks... Love it...

[@janiscollier8571]

I made the urban bling and it looks fabulous. Now I’d like to try it as a 3 times wrap so it’s bolder. Can you tell me how much leather cording for a 6” wrist? Thx so much!

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

That’s awesome! I don’t know how long the leather should be as I’ve never made it longer. You will have to play around with it.

[@dianehence3464]

Can you use macramé cord instead of the wax linen?

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

I don’t think it would grip as tightly but you could try.

[@tanyamarkwart9161]

Hi Kelly! Not sure if you remember me but I used to frequent your store and attended lots of classes. This was a fun tutorial and I felt like I was there in your classroom again. Thanks for inspiring me again. Take care❤️

[@janiscollier8571]

Kellie-RE wrap bracelet/if this is a gift and she has an 8” wrist, how do you calculate how much leather to use? Thx!

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

I always tend to use more than I need. I'm not sure how much you would need but for that size I would add a few extra inches to make tying the knots easier.

[@thepersnicketycalico9382]

Thank you for this video ... love the way you do the barrel knots. And every time you say, "Once, twice, three times" ... I always continue with, "three times a lady" ... lol

Kellie, could I use vegan suede instead of leather? Or is there something that can be substituted for the leather? Thanks

I've not tried it with the vegan suede as it's a completely different shape. If you have some you could always give it a go.

Hello Kellie - First of all, I LOVE your video's!! Your channel is the ONLY beading channel I've subscribed to, or watch for that matter. Second, I have a question about this bracelet. Does the crystal string sit in between the two pieces of leather, or on top of the two pieces?

Kelly i wanted to know what size hole is that which you use for the tunnel bead you pull the cord through. I want to buy one but only found little one. I dont know the name of it. Its silver and you wrap the cords around it to make a knot. Also what size is the cord. When i go to the bead store there are tons of sizes of cord and thickness. What thickness do you use. I wanted to know are you in canada or australia or USA?.

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

I am in Canada. Everything I use is available in my website. I don’t give out all the sizes of things so that they can be purchased at other locations like Hobby Lobby. I do these videos for viewers for free and I allow you to replicate them for sale. In return it would be nice if my retail store was supported by sales of the items required to make them.

[@autumn8034]

@@KelliesBeadBoutique but i know shipping is more expensive coming from canada to USA. Isnt it. I love your videos. If i lived near you i most likely live in your store. I dont know if your stuff is less expensive with shipping?. Kellie thanks my name is noreen.

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Hi Noreen. I only charge 6.99 for shipping and over $100 it’s free so I think it’s pretty reasonable. Also, our dollar is really low so depending on what rate your credit card charges you the total will end up about 30% less due to exchange. You won’t see it at the checkout but you will when you check your banking.

[@tinastracqualursi8275]

Kellie help! I’ve been trying to make this bracelet and cannot get my bling to stay in. The top bead always pops out and the remaining bling are recessed. The bling I have on had is square and yours are round. Do you think that could be my problem?? Thanks for your help

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Hmm not sure, but it could be. I only know how it turns out using the supplies I used. It goes together pretty easily so maybe try using the round crystal I used and see if you have better results. 😀

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Also, you might be pulling a bit too tight. Try loosening up your tension. The bling should just sit up nicely on the leather. To get it recessed you would have to tighten it up too much.
