How to Make a Simple Stretchy Seed Bead Bracelet | jewelry tutorial

[@polarbear8440]

Making seed bead bracelets have become one of my hobbies. It makes me happy in a way :)

[@KennasDaisies]

I'm so glad! I really enjoy it

[@laineykrupin9713]

@@KennasDaisies do we have to knot it like that or can we do just like 4 knots to make it stay? :)

[@urthboundmisfit]

Beadalon makes these really thin big-eye needles made by basically twisting really thin wire together but with a big needle eye. They work great with 0.5mm elastic and will still go through an 11/0 size seed bead. FYI.

[@KennasDaisies]

@@urthboundmisfit that is super cool! I’ll need to check that out!

OMGG THANK YOU FOR THE TUTORIAL ITS RLLY HELPFUL ESPECIALLY IN TYING PART 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@KennasDaisies]

I'm so so so glad it helped!!! I bet your bracelet looks so cute

Making seed bead jewelry is fun I just started working with seed beads just a few days ago and I'm having fun with it

[@KennasDaisies]

@@corinnehawkins8 I love to hear when people get into jewelry making!

[@jennifercampbell1347]

I have those exact same clips. I also use mini clothes pins, those little metal "clicky barrettes ", and metal alligator paper clips to hold my string. You chose beautiful color combos,I may borrow them. I enjoy making these bracelets and donating them to little kids in the hospital. This is a great video, thank you for sharing!

[@KennasDaisies]

Oh that's so wonderful!! You sound like an amazing person, thank you for this really kind comment! 🥰❤️

[@marinazagrai1623]

Tying is the most important step…so glad you showed that! This type of cord is silicone and unlike plastic, it cannot be sealed by burning the ends. I just finished a bracelet on leather laces, also .5mm, but found this packet of seeds and have the stetchy cord so I will be working on this bracelet. Thanx…

[@KennasDaisies]

Of course! Thanks so much for the comment, and I'm glad my video helps!

[@barbra429]

Please do more seed bead bracelets, they are beautiful!!

[@KennasDaisies]

@@barbra429 why thank you!

[@laryssalara1451]

I’m starting to get into making seed bead bracelets. This was helpful. I like to add letters to my bracelets too. I always make bracelets for my boyfriend but they come apart easily & this was helpful 😁 I need to buy .5mm string tho

[@KennasDaisies]

I'm so glad this helped!

[@jennifercampbell1347]

The dollar store also sells mini clothespins, and they also make a good string holder.

[@KennasDaisies]

Oh that's a brilliant solution!!

[@KennasDaisies]

I love doing it ☺️

[@overripeschnitzel]

if you want to know how to know how to put an elastic through a needle, you can just tie a piece of thred onto one of the ends, get it through, and pull really hard :)

[@KennasDaisies]

Oh that is brilliant! Thank you so much!!!!

[@marinazagrai1623]

overripe…you sound like a knitter (maybe beaded socks; I have a pattern for this item worked with seeds).

Where can I get the elastic string you used? I've seen some others, but they did not have great reviews.

[@KennasDaisies]

So I'm pretty sure they stopped selling it, which made me sad, but I've started using this elastic string (I'll add a link so you can see it) and it has actually worked really well for me for seed bead bracelets so far. I would also try looking at craft stores, usually the stuff they have is pretty good quality. :) www.amazon.com/Amaney-Elastic-Stretchy-Bracelet-Crystal/dp/B07S1SL3BW/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?dchild=1&keywords=5mm+elastic+string+for+bracelets&qid=1609903421&sprefix=.5+mm+elasti&sr=8-13

[@minn-nyoungyoon1683]

Any recommendations on how to hide the know your 11mm seed beads and 0.5 mm stretchy cord? I find that I cannot squish the know through the hole of the bead and so am left with a kink on the bracelet.

[@KennasDaisies]

@@minn-nyoungyoon1683 hmm I’m not sure. I know that there are specific metal beads that clip over knots !

[@pameladoll7421]

What size seed beads are you using ? Love your video and your nails !!

[@KennasDaisies]

.7 mm :) Thank you so much!! You are so sweet

[@pameladoll7421]

@@KennasDaisies Kenna, I cannot find that size on amazon i got .5mm elastic string but i dont see that size seed bead ....Im sorry ...please help !lol

[@morganmm7073]

What nail polish is it? Love it.

[@KennasDaisies]

Thank you so much! I actually just got it from the dollar store! :)

[@eileenalexander9026]

I didn't see you pre-stretch the elastic string. I thought you were supposed to do this to strengthen it and so that it wouldn't stretch out after multiple wears. Can you clarify? Thanks!

[@aicheru9048]

im kinda nervous about the knot. wont it come off easily?

[@KennasDaisies]

That's why I like to add a dot of superglue to the knot when I'm finished tying it before I cut the excess off. Mine have never come apart when I do it this way!

[@NicoleKateee]

Is the 11 size beads equivalent to a 2mm beads? (Great video

[@KennasDaisies]

I am pretty sure. And thank you!! 🥰

[@alisonjoy8154]

Am I the only one who’s hand starts hurting really bad while putting the beads on?? Does anyone have any tips to stop it from hurting

[@KennasDaisies]

Don't squeeze the beads so hard, and the more you do it the less it should hurt. Sorry about my slow response, I've had a really busy time with graduation, but I hope your hands have stopped hurting so much 🥰

[@plamiplush]

There are special bead needles that you can use the put the beads on. It much easier that way.

[@joannefulk9610]

How many seed bead you use to make a bracelet

[@KennasDaisies]

@@joannefulk9610 it depends on the size, in these I used about 45

[@doralinang7489]

I tried tying but the same way but it still came off :(

[@KennasDaisies]

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that! Try using more super glue and it should help.

[@ellfling924]

anyway to hide that knot?

[@KennasDaisies]

I will try to come up with a solution and I'll let you know! If you can find a bead to put over it that always works well but it will probably need to be a bigger size

[@glossydemarco358]

You could try a crimp cover - they come in small sizes.

[@christinedutton3825]

Where did you get the container at, that's holding your seed beads?

[@KennasDaisies]

It's just a mini paint pallette that I found in the craft section of walmart :) It came with a pack of 4 and I love mine and use them for everything! I'd assume you could find them at any craft store as well. Thanks for watching my video! :)

[@Mrs621808]

Dollar tree sells them also

[@kim-gq2or]

how do i keep my beads from fading?

[@KennasDaisies]

It depends on what kind of beads you buy, or you can use clear nail polish to glaze your beads. That works better with bigger beads though :)

[@kim-gq2or]

@@KennasDaisies can i use acrylic sealer?

[@KennasDaisies]

That should work great!

[@krystalking1637]

Is the knot hidden

[@KennasDaisies]

I like to hide it under a bead

[@carmella1225]

Where did you get your beads from

[@KennasDaisies]

I buy mine from Hobby Lobby, you can get them at almost any craft store and sometimes Walmart has them!

I also have a link in the description that tells you the exact beats I'm using :)

[@leongpohche8458]

What size of beads

[@KennasDaisies]

3 mm

Can’t see how you tie elastic

[@laryssalara1451]

What type of string do you use.?

[@KennasDaisies]

I’m so sorry I never answered this! I have been trying out different elastic string brands but I find that as long as i get a thinner elastic string the knot will stay without glue. If you use thicker elastic you want super glue! Sorry again for the late response

[@laryssalara1451]

@@KennasDaisies thank you.! This is helpful. I do have a thin elastic string I think it’s 2mm & the knot still doesn’t stay so I bought jewelry super glue but I haven’t tried using it on the knot.
