DIY Beaded Fan Pull |  

Oh, thank you so much! I'm thrilled to know that you found my video. I know the method was a bit wacky. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Wishing you the best of luck on your own creation!!

Thanks, Christina. I wish I could take credit for the clamshell idea. I know I saw someone else do it. I want to say that it was Kellie from Kellie's Bead Boutique, but I'm not positive if that's right or not. In any case, it's too great of a technique not to share! I appreciate you watching.

Aw, thank you, Pattie! My want to MAKE ALL THE THINGS is the reason my channel and branding is all "CraftyHope" and not some more specific name. I hate it sometimes, but I know it's what fits best. Thank you for your support! It means more than you know. 🥰🥰

Aw, thanks, Brenna! I'm really happy to have replaced the pull that came with the house/fan. Ha. I appreciate you taking the time to watch!!

Aw, thanks! I'm happy I made something that isn't strictly jewelry and could be a project for anyone.

@@CraftyHope and will look nice in your home!!☮️💟

@@suefalls1600 It does!

Thanks! As for using the regular crimp cover...I suppose you could try. I just liked that the regular one has the hole in it rather than going around it. It feels more secure somehow. (but that might just be me!)

Hi Chris! Thanks for the question. I worked it that way for several reasons. The main one is that if you added your beads to the bottom of that initial (clam-shelled) wire, there's nothing there that will keep the beads from falling off. You could definitely make a loop or coil of some sort, but that always feels a bit unfinished to me. Secondly, being able to wrap some of that wire around the clamshell helps give it more security. As well, I did it this way because some individuals might have a chain that has a loop or ring already on the end. By showing how to make the second part (the long charm, basically), I'm giving them the option to add it to what they already have rather than taking their chain apart. I hope that makes it clearer for you. But, don't hesitate to reach out again if you have any other questions!

Hey, Allie! I have a list of tools and supplies that I used for this video in the description box. As well, I have a whole Playlist of videos I made several years back that goes over most of the basics for jewelry-making including the tools/materials needed (ru-vid.com/group/PLqeJA0eXm_OlInQtX9xAli_rhuT_LIZM4) But, in general, you want a set of pliers that includes chain nose and round nose pliers and some wire cutters. To me, those are essential. Beyond that, it all depends on what you want to make. Don't hesitate to let me know if you have ANY questions at all!!
