Making seed bead jewelry is fun I just started working with seed beads just a few days ago and I'm having fun with it

Beadalon makes these really thin big-eye needles made by basically twisting really thin wire together but with a big needle eye. They work great with 0.5mm elastic and will still go through an 11/0 size seed bead. FYI.

OMGG THANK YOU FOR THE TUTORIAL ITS RLLY HELPFUL ESPECIALLY IN TYING PART 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

[marinazagrai]

Tying is the most important step…so glad you showed that! This type of cord is silicone and unlike plastic, it cannot be sealed by burning the ends. I just finished a bracelet on leather laces, also .5mm, but found this packet of seeds and have the stetchy cord so I will be working on this bracelet. Thanx…

I have those exact same clips. I also use mini clothes pins, those little metal "clicky barrettes ", and metal alligator paper clips to hold my string. You chose beautiful color combos, I may borrow them. I enjoy making these bracelets and donating them to little kids in the hospital. This is a great video, thank you for sharing!

The way you present your jewelry is always so elegant. Do you have any tips for photographing jewelry?

I’m starting to get into making seed bead bracelets. This was helpful. I like to add letters to my bracelets too. I always make bracelets for my boyfriend but they come apart easily & this was helpful 😁 I need to buy .5mm string tho

[dannysophia]

The dollar store also sells mini clothespins, and they also make a good string holder.

[overripeschnitzel]

if you want to know how to know how to put an elastic through a needle, you can just tie a piece of thred onto one of the ends, get it through, and pull really hard :)

[minn-nyoungyoon]

Any recommendations on how to hide the know your 11mm seed beads and 0.5 mm stretchy cord? I find that I cannot squish the know through the hole of the bead and so am left with a kink on the bracelet.

[ArtisticInspirations.]

Thankyou I always wonder how to tie it so its not noticeable and wont break

[crystalmeese]

Where can I get the elastic string you used? I've seen some others, but they did not have great reviews.
