I am good at making, but have no idea, how to sell it, or price it

Hi Carol your video is very important

@The_Stylish_Maker Hi! Do you ever find that the technique with crimping beads doesn't hold up/last? I want to make jewellery with beads/pearls but I'm afraid that the crimping bead is not "enough" or won't last

I see that you use a strong wire, which is good. I'm curious about a safety break away. Would that be incorporated into a clasp?

A safety break away is something that will prevent clocking if the neclace gets caught in something like fans or machinery.

I used to work in health care and our jewelry had to break away incse a patient pulled on it. It would not alwayds be a violent act, someone may have dementia, or delilum. It maybe a small child. The patient may grab on if they are weak and lose balance and panic. Anything worn around the neck had to break away.

As mentioned above some people work with various equipment that neclaces can catch. A break away would allow them to be fashionable and safe.

It's something to think about anyway. You know fashion and safety.

First time here and thank you. I have cidp and have numb hands so I can't hold on to earings so I can't wear them. I bought a pair of silver ones at walmart that have a long piece goes in your ear and I can wear those. I got silver ones never see gold ones. I got all the pliers years ago and never learned how to make anything or how to use all the pliers and tools I have. I want to learn.

Just started with bead jewellery making as a hobby after I had a small surgery and had to stay home for a month. Just subscribed and loving so far your videos! Just a question please and I hope you can answer. When do we use wire guards and when not to. Does it depend on the type of wire as I see you haven’t used one here with this necklace.

you truly are the best teacher/artist that i ever seen. amazing explanation and huge clarity. love it

i wish that i could have meet you and learn from you.

What is the good design board to make 55cm beads necklace?

What is your name if I am not new here?

Hi Carol youre a great teacher thank you

i never thought you’d end up being my fav channel for my jewelry tips!! ❤ thank u !

the main ? was how to finish the ends of a bracelet . not many sources ever tell u that part and its the biggest part is how to make it wearable or how is this gonna stay together but yet no where have i really found an answer that i could make sense of until i watched your video and first thingb u answered my #1 ? thanks ! im now headed out to get some supplies u have inspired me today to make some jewelry!!!!

This is the first beading tutorial I’ve watched until the end as the others have been full of waffle (from other people, not your videos!) & I’ve come away with knowledge I never had! I’m busy struggling away with my first project using just my husband’s Leatherman tool & my old necklaces 😅

You are a great instructor, thank you!

beautiful work!

When I make a necklace using the crimping bead, I use a crimping pliers to pinch the bead closed twice. Once flat, then a second time pinched folded in half. Do you use a crimping pliers, too?

Great video! Subscribed from Ireland ☘️

I see you use some gold plated pieces, about how long do they last without the gold coloring coming off? Very helpful info!

Thanks. ❤

I really enjoyed this video .Due to health reasons i haven't been able to make jewellery for a while so need a refresher class. Thanks Carol.

I am sort of new did you make it between knowing what supplies to buy and what I wanna try I watch the video where you’re like making your own chain and the first part it said bend it at 5 cm. What I don’t get is is the whole bracelet made from one long piece or or they put together somehow I feel like a dummy.

👍

Hi, Carol. I am new to your channel, and I stumbled on it just now. I have been making jewelries for quite sometime now, but discontinued doing so, and I actually not so good on crimping.

I learned a lot regarding jewelry making ❤

New to this sport, but I'm wondering if I can use some type of fishing knot with stranded wire to close on a jump-ring or closure. Of course it would have to fit through the hole in the bead. That might be the kicker.

Wow that was great you solved some of the mysteries of jewelry thank you

Thank you for the very clear tutorial. I have already ordered some little butterflies to make the earrings. I've never made jewellery before but I followed your instructions in another video for making stitch markers, and those turned out well 😁

I know this is an older Vid but I’ve struggled with crimping. You explained this differently, ie:flatten first and it made a Huge difference in my crimping so thank you so much.

thank you for your hard work < 3
