  • what size needle are you using?

  • @Sarah78679 The needle that is used in this video is a size 12 needle. You can get them on Beadaholique . com's website. I just added a link for them in the video description underneath the video.

  • @Beadaholique I have Beadalon Wildfire 0.15mm and I have a terrible time threading a #12 needle with it. I am thinking that maybe the thread is too thick. Is that so?

  • @Sarah78679 Hi! Yes, 0.15 is going to be a bit thick for a size 12 needle. I would suggest a size 10. Before you purchase a different needle, you can also try flattening the end of your thread. Check out our blog entry from Tuesday, January 10, 2012 called "Flattening Wildfire Thread for Easier Threading". The link for our blog is located on our channel page.

  • is it possible to use elastic chords for this project>

  • @gladys1620 I would not recommend using elastic cords for the spiral rope stitch. You really need your beads to line up properly for this to look right and with the elastic cord you will have the beads moving around and not sitting right. I think it will result in a lot of frustration in both the creating process and what the final piece looks like.

  • I like it, i will try tonight yeah !

  • Great video! I am excited to design my own jewelry! :)

  • I'm glad you showed a completed project, but might have been easier for us beginners if you had done it with the 2-color bracelet as kind of hard to follow which was your core bead and which was the outer spiral with the multi-colored one.

  • thanx for sharing this...it's easier to understand...
