Leather and Pearl Bracelet Traditional Method Using Two Needles

[@nancyvalstar2217]

Yah you did it 😊

Hi Emma, I love it when you say “We”. I feel like we’re just hanging out together and beading. Don’t listen to those other people. 😻I love how this bracelet turned out. So nice. Thank you Emma and Shelly. 💝I’m so glad you only put one half hitch knot in and then weave in the bead. So many put too many knots in their work instead of weaving through it to secure it. You always end up with unsightly knots or blocked beads so you can weave in thread afterwards. When I was taught 40 years ago they didn’t allow any knots except for one half hitch knot only and weave the threads in at least two directions and then do a half hitch knot again and weave again, three times. Our teacher would throw our work in the garbage if she saw a knot. 🤷‍♀️😹😹😹 I don’t request bc I love everything you’ve done so far. For your ends I’ve seen some glue end caps for memory wire on the end of leather. It’s looks great and nicely finished. Thanks so much for this great tutorial say hi to Jenn. I hope it goes well at the surgeons office tomorrow. Take care. 💝🥰

That crazy Susan about your teacher and knots 🤓 Thank you for confirming about the knots. I hate seeing knots and clogged holes. Jenn didn't get the toe taken care of so now it's back the the general surgeon. She saw an Ortho guy 🥴

Hi Emma, I love this and you make it look so simple! Prayers that everything goes good with the surgeon! Thank you Emma for all that you do! 💜💙💚💛

Hey Queen Emma. It's been ages since we communicated. I'm glad to see you continue making videos. Ok - just kidding. I haven't utilized any of the leather I ordered from Xsotica. Once I regain strength in my hand and arm I hope I am able to dig through bins and boxes and locate my box of leather. This technique would be fun and I recently received some lovely buttons. I do appreciate your tutorials, unboxings and kindness. I never knew royalty could be so wonderful!

What a beautiful bracelet! Love the idea of pearls with leather! So 80's!

[@kolitiokada9825]

Hey Emma! Love your leather & pearl bracelet! Love your grocery list story & Happy Fingers at 25:20! Who knew the the grocery list can manifest more than food! Happy Birthday, Emma! 🥰

Hi Emma! Beautiful bracelet. I love you referring to "we". Makes me feel more like I'm right there with you beading. Thanks for the various suggestions for a barrel knot tube. I ordered some curved tube beads but they are too small. I've been wondering how to get a barrel knot tube. So thanks again for all the options. I hope everything went well for Jen's toe. Thanks again for doing these videos.

I love seeing you use leather in your projects. Please remind us where you purchased your leather.

Beautiful! I have tried several pieces with one and two needles. Overall, I prefer the single needle method even if it takes longer to complete. Yes. You are “good.” I hope everything went well with Jenn’s surgery. Have a happy day and be well, Queen Emma!

[@nancyvalstar2217]

You can do it Emma

[@shelleywebb2542]

It’s turning out so good I’m ready to start one!!

[@cathymike7559]

Awesome barrel knots just love this bracelet Emma. I hope Jen's appt. takes care of her toe. 🐈😻🐈

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

Appointment was a bust off to a different Dr 🤦

[@sharonperry7085]

Emma, I love this! One of my cousins won the memorial gift in honor of my sister. This cousin is not a bling girl. I am going to show her this, and will make it for her if she likes. My sister would also have loved it. Once you get started, it looks so relaxing! Thank you so much! Thinking good thoughts for Jenn’s success with her toe. A belated Happy Birthday to you, and would love to see the kitty!🌹❤

[@kathsmith5064]

Hi hun. Yeah you got it!!! I think this method looks cleaner along the sides and can be done with tile beads too. Still loving those pearl beads, there is a shimmer to them. The grey ones are my absolute faves. Good luck Jen and her toe the poor love. Tickles to Jax and a hug for you x x x

[@nancyvalstar2217]

Hope you get what you want for your birthday (kitty)

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

Thank you Nancy 🤓 I have a good feeling 😂

[@shelleywebb2542]

Ty Emma for doing this👏👏

[@fayewilliams229]

Looks fantastic! Eventually I will try leather but the beads keep calling in the meantime. One of the tricks I learned when doing a two needle technique is if the hole is big enough put the bead on to the first needle and put the second needle through while it’s on the first needle then pull both needles through - this way you won’t puncture the thread. Hope Jenn’s appointment went well. Good luck with the kitty! ❤

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

Thank you for the tip Faye 🤓

[@shelleywebb2542]

Your doing 👍

What a brilliant project, Emma!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS NEEDED FOR MY WINTER WARDROBE!!! I have a few rolls of 2mm round leather cord in my stash that I've never even used, including Dark Brown, Black, Navy, Scarlet, and a Deep Ivory) ... and I've found some gorgeous octagonal gold buttons with large shanks that I rescued from an old jacket. i do have Preciosa Pearls, but I think I'll use some Natural 6mm Tiger Eye beads on Dk Brown leather, and alternate them with the 6mm Gold-Filled beads that I just received ... That will look fab with a Tiger-Eye bracelet with gold-filled findings that I've just completed to wear with my new boho full-length cable-knit cardigan in Dark Caramel that just arrived! I just received my entire winter wardrobe, just in time for the cooler weather (I'm Sthn Hemisphere), so I'm going to have a lot of fun making a few of these in winter colours to go with my new wardrobe ... and then I'm going to design some interesting long necklaces using the same bead selection as I use in the bracelets, but in larger size beads so they will stand out over the large-knit sweaters I've bought etc. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS PROJECT!!

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

I'm so glad you liked it 🤓 All your suggestions sound great. Your getting me motivated to do more 😁

[@nancylagana6435]

I have a big wrist size and I find myself making bracelets to fit me if they don’t fit others!

[@shelleywebb2542]

Howdy Emma again lol

[@shelleywebb2542]

Up up and away lol

[@kristinajones4802]

Your voice is so soothing 😊

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

Thank you Kristina 🤓 That's so nice of you to say. I'm a retired nurse and worked with Alzheimer's patients. Many years of asking gently 😂 Big hugs from Nova Scotia 🐿️

[@mechelerose8151]

A success, I need to try it again. ❤

[@shelleywebb2542]

[@roseannegibson3343]

Beautiful

[@celiaeyraud6852]

Lovely success. ❤

[@LorenasChesed1beads]

I also love to make Barrel knots. I just use a hard thin straw it's cheaper

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

That's great Lorena 🤓 it's getting harder to find a cheap tube bead 🐿️

[@nancylagana6435]

Do you work with uh resin to make jewelry? If so, I’d like to see videos on it.

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

Thanks for reminding me Nancy 🤓 I did buy a bunch of supplies before Christmas. Time to play

[@shelleywebb2542]

My cat sleeps with me and shares my pillow but she puts out to much heat against me ! Makes me sweat but she thinks she has to sleep with me

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

Jax definitely thinks I'm is mamma 😂🐈

[@susanroberts]

I have to lock my kitties out at night. They crawl on me and wake me up. I’m in too much pain now. It took them two weeks to get used to it but they’re ok now. They get treats before I close my door and they get more in the morning when I come out. I think they think they got the better deal. I think they think… “wow we get treats morning and night and Mommy doesn’t holler at us during the night anymore either. It’s a win win win bc we can play all night too!” 😹😹😹💝😻

[@shelleywebb2542]

No rancid leather for ys😂
