Please please do more video. It was a pleasure to watch your video it was a very Direct tutorial and you have a great voice it was calm and soothing. Could you do more videos on the traditional making of the pattern also to show how to finish the end of the Rope I think many of your subscribers would appreciate it. You're doing a great job
Thanks- this looks really cool. You've got a nice video "presence" if you know what I mean- you should do more! I'd love to see how you design and finish the bead ropes. Thanks again!
How do I start off , another thing does have it have to be a certain kind of rope or any size can work. How do you make your own design to match it up for a unique design, what size of beads can be used. Thank You?
Im a very beginner beader. this is my first project. My problem is being able to get the beads to keep touching without sliding around on the thread and creating a gap. Expecially near the end the last couple beads before i tack it down they usually slide down the thread. I have no nails (bit my nails alot) any help would be apprectiated
If you only go around once, I find that it's harder to get the beads to want to stay while you're working on tension. I go around twice, sometimes three times. I do have a new video uploading this week that might help with that, too.
I see a lot of lanyards done in this style but I can’t figure out how to join the two ends of the rope together and continue beading. Do you have a technique for that? Or is ending the ropes with some sort of cap the way to go?
Keeping tension and rolling the cord at the same time is difficult, I bought size 12 beads and using parachute cord. Uncoordinated fingers. Hard to keep the tension on and my needle came off three times, and I had to, thread it again. I need to practice before making any thing. Ugh.
I'm having the same problem, I think it's because I'm using the cheap paracord, from the Dollar Store. I like what he's using, it's what he called pressure cord, most likely solid as where my paracord is hollow.
