Clear and easy instructions to follow. The best video on bracelet construction I have watched. Thank you!
BY FAR the best basic tutorial I've seen. I'm not a beginner, and still managed to learn a few things with this video! I've been doing a few of these things without knowing why - and now I do! Thanks so much.

Thank you for an excellent instructional video. It really helped me improve how to use the proper tools and how to attach clasps. I will definitely be following you for more tips and instructions.
Thank you for this can’t wait to try this method 🥰😍
Thank you for your video! You explained it so well. It really helps me to understand the process! :))
I really. Believe that there should be hollowed out curved crimp cover pliers for doing those crimp covers. It would look so muck better and would have no pressure marks on the crimp anywhere. I love how you did yours, spot on. Love this channel. ❤️👍🏼💯

Hi Katy, thanks for subscribing, there will be new videos coming in the New Year 😊
So so wish I could get to grips with crimps! I used wrong thread too I think, looks so nice till you see the connectors!
Excellent. I am using stretchy cord for my bracelets but wanted to go this route for necklaces. I am getting better and these tutorials help. How do you determine what size crimp beads you use? I plan to use all stainless beads and crimp bead covers
Thank you for this thorough explanation. Could you please tell me what thread (brand and thickness) you are using?
Beautiful making idea😊😊😊 👍👍👍👍👍 #Jewellerynewcreation

Great thank you.
What clasp would you recommend for a heavier necklace
Do you use closed jump rings or open ones?
Are crimp pliers necessary for this or can I use needlenose?
Beautiful
What size ő crimp do you use?
Which size of crimp tube beads u have used
Which wire she use? And what if the beads 3mm? Same way??
Can you please tell all the needed items to make the bracelets??
what was the jump ring size
I have all the supplies and have tried again and again but my bracelets break. Like it slips out even though I crimp the crimp tubes and put clasp covers over them
V good but sound is low. Thank you 🌹
Came across your video and love tutorial but can you please do your future videos closer , so we can see what your doing step by step? Much appreciated it

could I use this technique with elastic beading string instead of wire?

Hi, no you can’t use crimp beads on beading elastic, they would damage the elastic.
What is the size of your crimp tube and crimp cover?
what do you call to that very small bead (?) that locks the jump ring?

Does this work when we use a beading thread instead of wire?

Hi, the thread I’ve used is a traditional beading thread which is often called tiger tail too. I would not use crimp beads straight onto a beading thread such as fireline or wildfire thread.
Love the video. I’ve been having “fun” with my crimp tubes and covers. Can I ask you what size of crimp tubes and covers do you use? For my smaller projects I want to use a 3mm crimp cover but every time I buy crimp tubes 2mm they never fit! Thanks ☺️

Hi Thank you 😁 I generally buy the same 3mm covers and 2mm tubes. Maybe try a different supplier if they are not the size stated.
Just the fact that you spelt jewellery correctly was enough...and then, good video as well! Cheers.

Where can I get quality crimping holes, crimping covers, tools, etc. I tried buying these on Amazon & had to return all of it due to the bad quality and tiny sizes they came in. I’m a beginner and will need a starter set. Can you recommend which ones to purchase and where? Thank you!
@katieparkerjewellery7277
Жыл бұрын
Hi, I would advise finding a local bead shop and trying out different sizes and seeing what works for you. I wouldn’t buy a starter set as there will be a lot you won’t use. Just buy small amounts to try out to start with. I use many different places online also, mainly Cooksongold Beads Direct and The Curious Gem.

are the crimp covers necessary for the security ?

Crimp cover are not necessary for security, but they cover the crimp tube which can look unsightly. They make the piece of jewellery look more professionally finished off.

You need to Zoom more closely to claspers. It's hard to see because those things are micro tiny.
