[@tess2626]

Thank you!!! I have been looking everywhere for instructions on how to make these!

[@twilaklense5202]

This makes up a elegant piece of jewelry and great for those who have trouble closing the clasp when no one is around to help, thanks for this great idea, love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[@krisc1722]

perfect loops!

[@dDoven-gl4uf]

All the materials came with a little kit I bought. Thank you for making this video

[@beadaholique]

Glad we could help!

[@skyalicejessi]

Beautiful, I can make & design my own instead of buying ready made 👌😍

[@elshareef1139]

I loved. Thank you

[@beadaholique]

So happy you loved it!

[@creativeartwork789]

Thanks sis. Recently I bought an adjustable bracelet and unfortunately when I wore it. The bracelet was literally broken. Then I had recommended your video coincidentally . And I recovered my brand new bracelet in only 2 minute. Thanks again for my help🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍🤩🤩 Edit: sorry for my bad English

[@cindy7868]

Thank you!! I bought a necklace with adjustable clasp and I didn’t know how to make it larger to fit my head and pull it back! I was afraid to break it in the process. So thank you so much!

[@beadaholique]

Glad we could help!

[@CDRRDHCAPE]

I use 26 g wire to poke it through. Really easy.

[@anabarbarasantos3305]

Lindíssimo

[@dearNAiMA]

Thank you soo much for this video! I’ve been looking for this video for the longest! I’m wanting to make an adjustable bracelet but I want it attached to something that I can add charms to. Sorry if it sounds confusing, I’m still new to everything lol 😂💕

[@beadaholique]

Thank you for watching! You could add a charm to a bracelet like this with a jump ring www.beadaholique.com/sterling-silver-open-jump-rings-4mm-22-gauge-20.html . Here is a few examples www.beadaholique.com/sterling-silver-adjustable-slider-star-bracelet.html . You can also do this with an adjustable bangle www.beadaholique.com/quick-and-easy-gift-idea-personalized-charm-bracelet-using-adjustable-bangle.html . You can always email us as well [e-mail]

[@dearNAiMA]

Beadaholique Thank you so much! I will most definitely check those out. I will possibly buy a couple of things from the site as well 😊

[@ddjblossom]

Can these be used on string bracelets 1mm waxed cord?

[@TheBenzoHouse]

How do you make a beaded adjustable chain? Like Alex and Ani?

[@rosegaither]

Very elegant. I wish you had put it on for viewers to see, also what length did you use. I know everyone’s wrist is different, but I’m wondering how many inches you started with. Thank you. I love it

[@beadaholique]

We start of with 1 foot of chain. Thanks for watching!

[@sassylrhg]

Can anything be done to make a loose slider chain tight? It came that way and Im always having to make sure it is on.

[@beadaholique]

Hi Holly, sorry that's happening! I don't have any quick tips for fixing them, but if you bought the slider from us at Beadaholique please e-mail us at [e-mail]. That sounds like a defective product and we'd like to help.

[@lalehb4805]

This was such a great help. Thank you. Was looking every where for this tutorial. Can pls tell how long has the chain be for a bracelet?

[@beadaholique]

We used 1 ft. (0.3 m) to make the bracelet. Here's a project page for a similar bracelet we'd made if you'd like to see measurements on the beads we used: beadaholique.com/products/the-roxbury-slider-bracelet-in-gold

[@zarinemistry1681]

How would you recommend finishing of a knotted beaded bracelet using #18 super lon nylon cord? Would any of these sliding beads work?

[@beadaholique]

Hi Zarine, I have not tried it with the s-lon cord. My concern would be that it would fray over time. However, I would recommend a sliding knot clasp as seen in this video here: beadaholique.com/products/how-to-make-a-strung-cord-bracelet-with-a-sliding-square-knot-clasp

[@sophiewelsh8619]

What do you do when the silicon part gets loose and your bracelet keeps loosening when you wear it? Is there a way to replace the clasp without destroying the ends of the bracelet?

[@beadaholique]

The silicone could loosen over time, but I have been wearing mine for a while now with daily wear and it is still holding up so it does take a lot of time to wear out, however if that does happen you can replace it by taking off one side of the bracelet and stringing it through the new clasp, that way you only have to redo one side of the bracelet. At least that way the whole thing isn't a bust.

[@erikasmits2289]

if you have a small wrist a lot of the thing is left behind, how can i gather it in some way so that it doesn’t flop around all the time?

[@beadaholique]

The best way is to start the project with less chain so there is less left over chain once the project is completed. Thanks for watching!

[@dianatesillo5948]

We're do you buy clasps

[@novairaatique8903]

hi there I loved your tutorial Can u tell me the name of the looper and pliers you used for making the loop? i cant seem to find it anywhere

[@beadaholique]

Glad you liked the video, you can find the wire looping pliers we used here: beadaholique.com/products/beadsmith-casual-comfort-wire-looping-pliers-with-concave-and-round-noses-1-piece

[@valerieviramonte2052]

Awesome, what size slider clasp would you use for thin leather?

[@beadaholique]

All the slider clasps we sell will work for cord or chain between 1mm and 2.5mm. At this time we do not have them for cord larger than 2.5mm. Thanks for watching!

[@Jamie_Jewel]

How do I get the bracelet from sliding off? Like how do I tighten it and keep it tightened?

[@beadaholique]

The large golden slider bead is what lets you tighten and loosen the bracelet. The inside of the bead is lined with silicone, that presses against the chains and keeps them from sliding around unless you pull on them. Here's the model of slider bead we used: beadaholique.com/products/adjustable-slider-clasp-round-with-silicone-center-8mm-4-pieces-gold-tone

[@belle626]

I have a fine silver bracelet that has a clasp already but need to shorten it, will the beads work? Thanks

[@beadaholique]

It may depending on the extra length. It is recommend to attach beads at the end to stop the chains from slipping through.

[@MelindaMorell]

Can this work with beading chain?

[@beadaholique]

You can potentially use beading chain. We suggest 1mm beading chain. Thanks for watching!

[@JudyBi]

Hello amazing video! I was wondering what were the size of the golden beads you used at the ends? Also what's the width of the chain? Thank you

[@beadaholique]

The chain width is 2mm, and those gold beads are 4.5mm x 2.5mm. You can see the sizing information for all the components on the bracelet's project page here: beadaholique.com/products/the-roxbury-slider-bracelet-in-gold

[@JudyBi]

@@beadaholique thank you sm

[@kimleon-guerrero9980]

Does this clasp work for leather cord also ?

[@beadaholique]

You can potentially use leather cord as well. Thanks for watching!

[@marieazrak1951]

Chris can you use Griffin silk or embroidery floss

[@beadaholique]

Larger sizes of embroidery floss and Griffin silk should work for this, though we haven't tried that yet. The thread will need to be at least 1mm thick in order to hold well in the clasp. For Griffin silk that's equal to their size 16.

[@missanalourenco4073]

How long it takes for the bracelet color come off?

[@beadaholique]

The tones and platings will last a very long time. We recommend taking the same precautions you would with other plated jewelry. Thanks so much!

[@sophieglitter1717]

Is there any advice on what to do if the slider becomes loose? And are there any videos on how to change a slider to a clip clasp bracelet?

[@beadaholique]

We haven't heard any good tricks for fixing silicone slider beads yet. Doing a video about how to convert bracelets to different closure styles is a really good idea though, I'll see if we can make a video about that soon

[@sophieglitter1717]

Beadaholique I have watched some of your other videos and taken some tips away, and hopefully going to change the slider to a clasp, 😂 wish me luck, I’m a total newbie. Waiting for pliers, lobster clasp and crimp end to arrive! ☺️

[@beadaholique]

Hey that's great, go for it and see what you can do! The most difficult part for beginners is often working with those crimps, so don't let yourself get too frustrated there, it just takes a bit of practice to get the feel right with your pliers . Keep at it and let us know if you have questions!

[@beamadeinbrazil]

the supplies are not available :(

[@beadaholique]

Unfortunately, some versions of the adjustable slider clasps have been discontinued. However, here is a direct link to the available clasps on our website: www.beadaholique.com/beads-pendants-charms/beads/metal-beads/clasp Thanks for watching!

[@tifahxx]

can you do this with wire

[@beadaholique]

We haven't made a project like that but it's worth experimenting with. The type of wire you use will be important, you want something that's durable but flexible, something that won't harden and warp too much when opening and closing the bracelet. I'd start by looking at Soft Flex wire: beadaholique.com/search?type=product&q=%22Soft+flex%22

[@haha.__2603]

It didn’t help much but thanks. I have a broken bracelet that’s exactly the same design!

[@ArienMoon]

The link for the rolo chains are bout working both silver and gold😭

[@ArienMoon]

Are not* working

[@beadaholique]

Our apologies. These chains will be listed within a few days time. Thanks for watching!

[@amberm2777]

This isn't "how to make" this is how to buy a prefabricated product from your store 😂

[@beadaholique]

We teach a mix of more advanced skills like beadweaving, wire wrapping, and resin work, and easier DIY projects like this. Some things are meant to be easy though, if you want a slider style chain bracelet then silicone sliders like these are the way to do it. But ff you're looking for slider bracelets that use knots instead we've got a video that teaches that technique: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIm8fKtjrqaolbc
