[@janetpayne750]

Thank you so much I have always had a hard time with barrel knots till I started watching you. I'm no expert but I can make them now thanks to you .

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Fabulous! I’m glad I could help!

[@lynncarling4392]

Another fun tutorial, Kellie! I think my granddaughters would enjoy making these bracelets, too! What I do at the end of the macrame is lay a large eye, collapsible needle in between the leather cords with the point towards the bracelet and macrame a couple square knots not real tight. Then put the ends of the waxed linen in the eye and pull them in between the leather cords and out, trim and put a dot of glue on. Makes a very nice, clean ending.

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Thanks Lynn! One of my staff told me about that technique. I will have to give it a try!

[@shericampos2451]

I watched your tutorial, loved it, sat down and made two of these. They came out perfect! I'm totally hooked on these bracelets. They are addicting to make, fairly fast, very easy, relaxing, and my old brain can remember how to make them without watching the tutorial over and over. I love your tutorials and I really do appreciate that you share your knowledge and skills with the rest of us. Thank you!

[@OldLadyInFL]

I just discovered you, and I'm going back and watching some of your old videos. I'm new to jewelry making, and I love Native American jewelry with leather and turquoise. I also love macrame, so this particular technique is most appealing to me. I'm thinking of also using some colorful cords to replace the leather and do the macrame, and some of my own beads that I make from cold porcelain clay. You show me the best of all the things I love to do. I had never really thought about making bracelets, just earrings and pendants, but I think this technique could be used with some cord to make some beautiful drop earrings as well.

[@shaundadixon1406]

I’ve made 3 of these so far for friends. Absolutely love the technique. And while the supplies are minimal the bracelet looks classic

[@meloneebeal1060]

Hi Kellie! I know this video is from a couple of years ago……but I just found it! Of course I had to watch it because it’s YOU!!!! I love this bracelet design! I’m just loving the square knot bracelets and love how you did color blocking! Going to make this bracelet for sure!!! Thanks for sharing your design with us….I appreciate the time you take out of your busy LIFE to make these tutorials!! Love Ya❣️. Xoxo from Florida🌴 ❤️🥰😊🌼🌸🐾🐾

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Thanks Melonee! ❤️❤️❤️🌸🌸🌸

[@kristinkristin4467]

Always love Monday because you have a new video! Great design. One time saving tip I might mention: You could string all your beads at one time, securing the end so they don't fall off, then slide a bead up when you want to use it. :)

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Thanks so much!

[@williamdun7226]

I have so many color combinations in mind I think I will take some supplies to the beach ⛱️ thanks for the clear instructions

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Thank you! 👑👑👑🤣🤣🤣 Keep at it. You’ve got this!

[@BellaRayneJewelryCo]

Every time I complete a bracelet, I claim it as being my favorite - it is also true with this one. I am in love with this macrame. Now that I have the hang of it, I want to make more, more and more. I guess I know what I am doing with all of the Irish waxed linen I bought today and all of the seed beads - that were on sale today :-) Thank you, Kellie. And now, I am SUPER comfy with barrel knots. I have been watching your technique in the videos closely and I got it now :-) It's about time for me, right 💖

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Awesome! I’m so glad you are enjoying this one. ❤️❤️❤️

[@carolynsinyard1306]

Adorable bracelet.

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Thank you! 💕

[@suzannekenney8757]

I love how you teach and I like how you use your camera. I have done some leather work. When I cut the ends I hate seeing the undyed core, so I use a dab of liquid shoe polish to color the ends.

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Thanks Suzanne! I too don’t like the undyed core so I often use Sharpie to darken it up. I never thought of shoe polish. Thanks for the tip!

[@karenleigh2786]

I love what you said about wearing colorful jewelry with black clothing! I too wear A LOT of blacks and greys. I have a concert to go to next weekend and I thought ..well what jewelry could I wear that will match my black T-shirt that I’m wearing lol... well now I’m thinking I’ll wear some of the colorful jewelry I made recently. Thank you for your videos..love them all! I recently placed an order with your online shop.. can’t wait to receive it!!!

Hi Kellie... My daughter and I are planning a beach trip later this summer and although I love the beach I like to keep busy while enjoying the sights and sounds of the ocean. This would be a great mother/daughter project to pack up and work on while we're there so I will definitely have to order a few of these to take along. Regarding your comment about Dusty Rose and Smoky Quartz, I love those colors too. Is it possible to get a kit with some Dusty Rose beads with a couple of other coordinating colors? I was looking at your Metallic Berry Barrel Knot Wrap bracelet... It looks like it has a strand of Dusty Rose colored beads in it. Anyway, I love the colors you used in that design too. Thanks Kellie for all the videos and for the kits. Kits make my busy life so much easier!

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Hi Judy! Thanks for watching. Yes I think it would make a great project to take with you. If you want some special colours I can take a look at see what we can come up with. We are closed today but I will try to come up with something soon. Thanks

I've been trying to do this with S-Lon, and I think maybe the waxed linen might work easier. Especially putting on the beads. Gription sounds really great, and just what I need. Since I already started it, maybe I'll try using some beeswax on the S-Lon.

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

That might work. Give it a try!

[@cocokingsolver3284]

Hi miss Kellie, I have a question: How can I get elastic thread to hold the knots tight? They keep wanting to come unraveled. I'm trying your blossom bracelet with black elastic (rubbery) rope but the knots keep slipping out. :(

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

I don’t think elastic is the best for that bracelet. It won’t have the right drape and will likely break from too many knots.

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

😁

[@sallyblatchford1585]

I really love this idea but have to wonder how awesome the (new?) Tubelet beads would look; I think they’d look pretty cool and now I have an excuse to buy some, lol. I’ve never used waxed Irish linen because I’ve heard the stickiness tends to pick up a lot of everyday grime. Do you find that to be true? Also, barrel knots...I learned them from you about a month ago and use them every chance I get even when working with materials other than leather (also my favorite). Thanks for the great video!

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Thanks Sally! I’ve never heard of Tubelet beads so will have to look them up. I’ve never had a problem with my waxed linen picking up grime but then I don’t wear my jewelry when I washing dishes etc. Glad you love the barrel knots!

[@sallyblatchford1585]

Kellie's Bead Boutique I THINK the tubelets are new. I saw them on another channel (eek, lol) a couple of days ago.
