I have been beading and jewelry making for many (many) years. Your crimp pliers demo taught me to separate my wires and then to fold the crimp with the tip of the pliers. Thanks for being so well spoken and showing even the smallest of details!

What a helpful video for beginner beaders. TIP: When cutting multiple lengths of chain, try putting a head pin through the first link of each length and then either hold up or drag along the mat to make them even. You can then easily see which link to cut to make all the strands the same length. I always enjoy your videos. Best wishes from Buckinghamshire, UK. Sue Q.

Although I live in a major city, it's been almost impossible to find a resource to teach me what I've needed to create jewelry. But in this video, you explained and demonstrated so much of what I've been needing!! My goal is to create beautiful pieces to gift and to sell and now that I've discovered you, I finally feel a sense of peace going forward. Thank you SOOOO MUCH!!!!! Looking forward to getting your kits, too!

I made and sold jewelry for about 13 years and then gave it up. I had to watch your video anyway just because it's you Lindsay. This is just vital information for the beginner. I wish I would have had you around when I started out. I bounced around finding a little bit here and a little bit there. Potential beaders should file this in their favorites. Thank you as always.

Hi Susan, I felt the same way when I started, it is odd how there are not many resources for new beaders all in one place.

I took a beading class locally; but, the shop where I took it has closed. The owners wanted to retire and couldn't find anybody interested in buying the store. Sometimes I have trouble seeing the tiny details; but, I did find this video helpful as a refresher. I do not have crimping pliers; but, the times that I used my flat nosed pliers for crimping, the bead crimped as if it were crimped with crimping pliers.

when cutting the chain as you do, use a straight pin and put the pin in 1st loops and into cardboard then you can put a bit of tension and use wire cutter, less chance of putting a bend in the last loop of cut chain

@roxanne9377 Жыл бұрын
Wow!! Last comment was five years ago. I don't know if anybody will still read this but the best way I feel to cut chain is to first measure the first one of course and then put it on the head pin or an eye pin and your long-chain next to you the one you want to be the length. Then cut. I would feel that placing the chain on a flat surface would 1. Be difficult to align. You even mention this idea but yet you don't even demonstrate how to do so.
