Seven years later, in 2004, she brought Fusion Beads online to build a global beading community for sharing creativity, expertise and tips on beads and beading.

    Thanks you just answered my question. I brought one and broke the needle straight away . My holes and seed beads are too little.

    Nevermind, i found them by catching the model number stamped on the tool as she was working the cat ears. They are Lindstrom.

    I was trying this on a vintage necklace from the '70s that was my mom's. I watched 10 other videos and felt really stupid. I slowed down this one and watched it over and over and I think I got it, but the leather is so old, it doesn't slide and I could never get it over my head. Either my head is huge or at some point, my mom cut the original cord not understanding it's necessary. An hour later and much frustration, I'll take a break and try again tomorrow with some longer leather cord! I really would like to know how to make these knots--they look so nice for casual necklaces and are super practical. Thank you.

    Hello, I’m kinda new to this. I have a different brand that I’ve made a few just single strand necklaces. Definitely going to get the junior one you show here. I’m inspired by your video. One thing I don’t know how to do is if I’m making single-strand long seed bead necklace, is there a good way to just knot the ends together securely? Just wondering what you do. Or do you recommend a clasp? Thanks.

    I was cursing and crying yesterday, when I failed twice to make it. Was using miuyki thread. Then I decided to use fire line-it worked😅😅😅 your tutorial nice, but very flimsy. I suggest u remake it with thicker line, so you don’t have to reinforce it during tutorial and work will be hard and stay in shape. Thank u so much❤ I did this with two ends, but dreamed to make with one thread and needle ❤❤❤❤ now I can! So happy

    Thank you for showing this! On the one hand it looks very easy, and I usually (or used to) pick up this stuff quickly enough. Right now, though, I am completely stymied. I see what you're doing, but my hands no longer want to play. I'm sticking with you, though. We're going to do this or die in the effort. My first few attempts were with dark green beads and dark green thread. Who did I think I was? I switched to colors of spectrum and white thread. Made a difference, but still taking my knocks. Each time I get a little further before I have to start again. Good thing I'm retired.

    Thank you for the wonderfully clear video/instructions! I have made three bracelets. The first I accidentally used 6.0 beads which still turned out great and obviously a tad chunkier. I absolutely needed a magnifying glass for the next two which were the 8.0 beads. I added 1/2 inch to my wrist measurement which was perfect as the bracelets roll nicely on and off.

    I thought they are gorgeous and yeah they do look gorgeous. But I learned the hard way that there is a major flaw in your design. The legs don't remain in one place. They dangle. I noticed that you never hung the the finished product, so maybe you knew or if you know how to keep them in their place I'm all ears. Because I spend my time making them only to find out the problem once they were almost done.
