@@FireMountainGems very helpful, I've been trying to find a clear video on how to do that for several years. After your video showing how to attach the clasp and knot the beads, I made my son's girlfriend a necklace for her birthday over the weekend and sent it out today. Yay! Thank again.

[@unityofconsciousness475]

[@FireMountainGems]

You’re welcome 😊

[@gomezaddams6470]

For somebody who's new to this but has made jewelry. That looks beautiful but is not made properly obviously. This is amazing that there's a tool that tightens those knots in the right place. I'm out of the loop😂. Poop will always say no pun intended but your brain is ahead of you. How do people learn all of this? When there's so much to learn? I'm not good at tutorials, but this is probably the best one i've ever seen. I usually need to be with the live person and go wait. What?I couldn't follow approach or knitting tutorial even if it's live if it meant my life. My mother crochet a giant California king size whatever yarn, she could come across quilt comforter. Whatever approach a giant blanket is from the time. I was a baby until I was 10. Maybe? But I was on her lap and watching. So I should know how to crochet but I don't.. Mostly I just wanted to be on my mom's lap. And she enjoyed having me there. These were 10 or 20 minute breaks in between. Her. Always cleaning cooking being a housewife moments. If I could go back I would help her do so much more. And help her a little bit out of her housewife forced on her routine. She had a lot of fun times because we made them. So crafting makes me think of her. Even though crochet was what she did. I did so many other things. It's time to start again, but with a knowledge of all of these crafting tools and the last, the things that bring it up and notch, and make jewelry worth much more because of the time. Put into it like nodding, so when Something Forbid breall the beads don't fall. Beautiful work and the best tutorial i've ever seen again.❤

[@gomezaddams6470]

Excuse my phone, it puts punctuation where it doesn't belong and I don't want to write the whole thing over. I hope people understand it. There's also some words that didn't come out right but you'll get the idea.😊

[@IHGChick]

This is a great tutorial. Why is there no way to bookmark it in KZbin?

[@FireMountainGems]

On desktop, below the video you can click on the 3 dots and that will bring up the option to Save the video as well as some other options. On mobile, below the video you can swipe through the options until you reach the save button. Hope that helps!

WHAT SIZE THREAD AND NEEDLE ARE YOU USING

[@michele6229]

What is the thread you are using in this video? Great video!

[@FireMountainGems]

Glad you enjoyed it! Tammy is using Purely Silk thread. The size, we're not sure of but really, any size thread can be knotted.

[@jeanroyster-hills7387]

enjoying video. what beading needle are you using?. thanks.

[@FireMountainGems]

Hi there. This needle is great for this type of project: www.firemountaingems.com/itemdetails/h201039bs

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

Good tutorial, but I would have liked to see you demo the knotting tool a few more times than just once.

[@FireMountainGems]

If you want to see a different take on using the Bead Knotter, here's another video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppTJcqiqZdutbbs

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

Thanks for the link.

[@lunarayinstrumental]

[@FireMountainGems]

Tammy is using silk thread which is typically used when knotting between pearls.

[@einsteinwoman]

but you only used it once or twice...

[@kevinpaz1055]

where do I find that needles for threading?

[@FireMountainGems]

Hi Kevin. Here's a link to the needles we offer: www.firemountaingems.com/shop?keywords=needles Tammy was using the wide-eye needle in this demonstration.

[@MrPeapoo]

This video violates like every principle of good instructional design. You don't define vocabulary, you seem to be assuming a certain (unspoken, not defined) level of competency in your viewers, and there's absolutely no context. This is bad.

[@FireMountainGems]

Thank you for watching and your feedback.

[@MrOnyxpony]

I completely disagree. To me, and most others who have commented here, it was VERY helpful and informative.

[@sugarpuff2978]

Wow. I bet you're fun at parties.

[@sapphiresennelier2319]

@@sugarpuff2978 would you invite peapoo to a party? Just the name is warning us.🤣
