How to Weave Chainmaille Stretchy 6-1

[@zeeeena]

You have got to be the most patient person in the world. You are such an excellent teacher! That bracelet looks amazing! I really love these chainmaille bracelets, because they are beautiful and labor intensive. Now I haven't looked on eBay, or anyplace, but I cannot imagine these bracelets being churned out in China and then sold here in the US for a cheap price. I mean, maybe I'm wrong. This problem is why I closed my hemp necklace store in 2000.

Best tutorial I have seen for this weave, thank you !

[@Aninha7138]

You are perfect Yvonne! The way you explain it is simplified. Some tutorials complicate the technique, making it seem impossible, you and your techique, are brilliant, congratulations.

[@catrinafairlady8404]

Thank yoh so much. Your hints and tips are very helpful. Joining the ends has always been difficult for me

[@backtoearthcreations]

Right on, Catrina! I am glad to be helpful to you!

[@kellywilliams529]

This is like knitting with metal and rubber. I'm fascinated with it! You do such a great job of demonstrating it in a way that can be easily followed! Now you've got to stop giving me new ideas to experiment with, so I can get the stuff I already have to do, DONE! lol! ;)

[@backtoearthcreations]

hehehehe, it is an evil conspiracy :-p

[@Woodlawn22]

Thanks for another really good tutorial. You are well-spoken and easy to follow.

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thank you, it is my pleasure to share what I have learned :)

[@lizzymoore54]

Yvonne, your tutorials are excellent as is your work! Very interesting and beautiful work, I might add! 😊

[@bethkatz7027]

Another fine tutorial. You're a great teacher - Thanks for sharing and hope you come out with more chainmaille tutorials

[@Heartwing37]

What kind of nimrod keeps voting a thumbs down? *eyeroll Your tutorials are some of the most interesting ones on KZbin! I actually stay up too late sometimes watching! 😂

[@babadeedee214]

Incredible! This looks so comfy! Love love on so many levels! You are awesome!!

[@cheryllampton7419]

you have made that look so easy...thank you so very much

[@roselouis2086]

You are a great teacher!🌹

[@sandibutler4877]

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! I have the hardest time closing my rings the right way, honestly feel like it's my tools, they just seem to slip off, I Don't know what I'm doing wrong! Also wondering about the smaller dragon eye video you mentioned doing will that be soon or how will you do it?? I really like your videos best!! Wish I could take a class with you!!

[@ThePhantazmya]

Love this project. I just wonder if perhaps using a lighter colored or white rubber rings (if they make such a thing) instead of the black would make it easier to see on camera. I know that when I've photographed black knitting projects the black just doesn't show it's stitch definition as well as lighter colors do because the black yarn blends in with it's shadow. Thanks for all the fun videos.

[@rachelletotsonii4930]

Love your vids. Your work is so good.

[@backtoearthcreations]

wow, thank you Rachelle!

[@mgoc5010]

nice, not gunna be doing chainmaille anytime soon. I'm still on my crown kick right now. Got seven made so far. :)

[@backtoearthcreations]

hehe, they are addicting!!

[@mgoc5010]

they are, but I'm stuck on one right now. its been sitting here unfinished for about two weeks now. I think its due to it being a good type of queen and coming up with an interesting design and colors to paint the stones has got me stuck, the evil queen took a couple of days (after work of course). why is it that good is harder to finish and the evil took me a couple of days? does that mean anything about me????? hahaha EVIL QUEEN ROCKS. did you see it by chance?

[@dylanthomas359]

First off let me say that this tutorial is very nicely produced. You're articulate and appreciate that you are comfortable, and that you are succinct. No ahs and uhms. Well done. My question is; are the O rings 5/16ths of an inch also, and do they also come in a gauge? Thank you so much. I've jotted your name down and will be looking for other tutorials. Great camera angles, the best I've seen.

[@backtoearthcreations]

Hey, Dylan! Thank you :) I get the rubber rings from www.theringlord.com and they do come in gauges as well, 16 and 18ga. The inner diameter used in this video is 5/16", I hope this is helpful!

[@queeniiakelavyking2816]

hi there Yvonne, thank you soooo much on your amazing tutorials I just started weaving and I learned so much thanks to you. I was curious if there is any chance that you will make any more videos possibly of King mail/vertebrae, vipers basket and/or elf bridge? I know some of those might be the same not sure but you are the best explaining everything

[@backtoearthcreations]

Heya! I will try to make some videos of those weaves!!

[@queeniiakelavyking2816]

Yvonne Williams omg yes I can't wait!! Thank you for replying

[@chrystallister842]

Where do you perchance the rubber bands and aluminum bands? That project is awesome do you ever think to make a loop hat out of that same stuff or goof off and try it as something other then a bracelet or necklace? plus I just wanted to complement you, your a person who is so happy I admire that in you plus your world , your welling to shear that with us! your simply amazing ! thank you !

[@tyrroo]

These rings are from The Ring Lord, a major internet supplier of chainmaille supplies.

[@backtoearthcreations]

Heya, Chrystal! Tyrroo is right, I get the stretchy rings from www.theringlord.com I think a stretchy hat would be awesome! Thank you for your kindness! :)

[@sharonperry7085]

This is the best 6-1 explanation I have ever seen! Thank you so much!

[@bobbiebrian6927]

I love it!

[@toriduke3410]

I would like to know how many rubber rings you need for this project ? 86, 90, 120 ?

[@brookemoonier2902]

Is that how it is going to be the hole time. I want to learn that pattern

[@debrastone3536]

As always I love watching you create. You are a Fantastic teacher. Question for you. Are you going to be coming to the Virginia Area in the future for a show?

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thank you, Debra! I don't have any events planned in that area in the upcoming future, but I will be sure to post if I do :)

[@bbcGunbunny02]

YAY i m subscriber 31001 !!! I accomplished something today xD

[@snorris73]

Hi, Yvonne! I get my anodized aluminum rings from The Ring Lord, too. I've seen you tumble silver, but how do you remove burs from finished AA projects?

[@backtoearthcreations]

Hey, Shay! I have had some success with running AA projects through the tumbler dry with plain rice; I'd recommend check it every 10 minutes at first until you get a feel for it to make sure to AA is holding up

[@snorris73]

Thanks so much. I love the use of the semicolon, by the way!!

[@janebarnhardt3503]

How do I find your links for buying sawed chainmaille?

[@gailrod2096]

Hi Yvonne, you may have mentioned this prev...what system/brand/model do you use for filming? Thank you :) Gail p.s. Love the 3 P's Patience, Practice and Persistence!

[@backtoearthcreations]

Heya, Gail! Primarily I use my Samsung Note 4 to do most of my filming, and two older digital camera that were gifted to me. I think one is a sony? I'm not really tech savvy

[@TruthificationChronicles]

I just got my rings from The Ring Lord...and now I'm sitting here, starting to feel the fear as they stare at me, unopened. Time to suck it up, grab my two pliers, and get to work. Chainmaille and I haven't been friendly yet so this could be interesting....

[@TruthificationChronicles]

Ring one, yep, looks like hers. Ring two, yay! Ring three try one, nope. Try two, nope. Rewind the video. Try three, yep! YAY! (My neighbors probably think there's a madwoman living here!) Ring four, ugh, nope. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Teeth gritted. I'm going to do this. You shall obey me, ring!! Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. YES!!! Okay, maybe I'm getting the hang of this...nope. Ring five, a true struggle, ring six, more of a struggle. Literally sweating buckets (it was a bit toasty here today). Ring seven, did I just get that the first time?? Ring eight, nope, that's what I get for getting a bit uppity. Try three, yes. Ring nine, I think I'm getting it. Started wrong, but corrected myself before I closed. Ring ten, right the first time! Ring eleven, it's sooooo starting to make sense to me!! Had a bit of a glitch near the end and had to take about five out (lost one of the rubber rings...those things are like Mexican jumping beans!!!). The last ring put up a bit of a fight, but I tamed it! AND I ACTUALLY DID IT! WOW!!! I feel like I just won something spectacular. :o) Sure, it took me three hours to do, but I DID IT! Now I'm going to to bed feeling rather accomplished (shhhh, don't look at the scratches on the rings or how they're not closed as nicely as they should be...one skill at time...lol).

[@backtoearthcreations]

LOL!!! There is nothing quite like the first time!

[@pamelaloranty3907]

Hi Yvonne, I would like to order a batch of rainbow color jump rings and rubber rings. Where and hat side do I need or most projects like this one? Thank you

[@christinaporter5765]

Where do you get your "oh rings" PLEASE??

[@jmaxg4977]

I did it!!!

[@wtfud9e]

looks like a centipede :D

[@backtoearthcreations]

ooo, it does!!!

[@eviebrearley-suarez439]

how do you chose how many rings to start with when making a bracelet?

[@backtoearthcreations]

Sometimes I will make an inch or two of a weave and then count to see how far that got me, and decide from there how many rings I will need to get the length I want :)

[@eviebrearley-suarez439]

thank you for your quick reply. I love your work. you've inspired me to get creative again.

[@BorderlinepersonalityDisaster]

do you still make your own rings??

[@riselotus]

Where do you buy those stretchy rings?

[@backtoearthcreations]

Heya! I get my stretchy rings from www.theringlord.com

[@42Shewolf]

Where do I get the stretchy rings?

[@42Shewolf]

It's ok. I got 'em from ring lord. Missed that part of the show, sorry

[@vijaybk302]

Am going to making of silver..

[@aprilrturner1595]

love your videos but the two angles are fine watching you talk is a bit distracting and I'm easily distracted...
