Hi friends! We've just made an updated version of this beaded eye glass chain tutorial featuring ELITE Eureka Bicones (since Swarovski aren't easily available to crafters anymore) that you can check out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zaI8lYs9PcM.html Happy Beading!
Thank you for the easy tutorial! I've been making jewelry for years and never even knew of french wire! I've bought some and now I feel brave enough to open the package and make this project... thanks to your awesome video!
I have made the eyeglass necklace before and I have found the stringing material cuts through the rubber part pretty easy so I put wire Guardians on it seems to work wonderful now.
Love your tutorial, hand on the project very clear step by step,very professional ,unlike all those people that talk and talk just to shows there faces,you are great ,thanks so much
glad to hear you mention that, I am so weary of all the you tubers who turn us into an audience for their awful music and cutesy jokes ... This presentation is a class act, thanx for excellent teaching and resource. I do have a question, what is french wire? I will go to your website and see if I can figure it out. Excellent job!
Thank you for making this video. I've been having trouble with my crimper tool for a while since I really didn't understand how to use it and it didn't come with instructions at the time. LOL!
EXCELLENT VIDEO. but the other commenter is correct about needing to add the WIRE GUARDIANS to prevent cuts. but your video is very clear and precise. and beautiful too.lovely
Hi! Thanks for the video. I just made a few with some of your sets, but I put some lobster claw claps on the end to Onto the elastic or ear pieces of a face masks.
Does anyone know how or have the tools to repair one of the little rubber ends for the eyeglass holders? The round rubber piece to my eyeglasses lost the middle metal part- I have another metal part just like it but I can’t figure out how to get tge rubber loop through the tiny metal loop!
Hi Leslie! Your best bet is simply using a pair of chain nose pliers and trying to feed it through... I'm not sure how easy (or possible) it will be as they are generally on their quite tight SO they don't come off...worst case, you may have to re-make your eyeglass chain with a brand new one.
Hi Peggy! Sorry for the oversight! You can use 3mm or 4mm crimp covers for the 2mm crimps. We offer them in sets too: www.eurekacrystalbeads.com/beadsmith-2mm-crimp-tubes-3mm-crimp-covers-set-silver-plated/ or www.eurekacrystalbeads.com/beadsmith-2mm-crimp-tubes-4mm-crimp-covers-set-silver-plated/ Thanks for watching!
I have made several of these but I don't like the rubber or silicone fastener that holds the glasses. It seems to stretch out and the glasses fall off. A friend bought me a commercial one that had a different kind of fastener it was almost like a square in a hard rubber. It worked so much better but I cannot find it anywhere I thought you maybe could find them. Thank you.
@@EurekaCrystalBeads I bought it in a jewelry supply house many years ago they are great but the black rubber on them gets brittle and breaks. Check out the major supply houses for costume jewelry, I cant remember the name.
Hi! For the jewelry wire, use BEADING WIRE 30 Ft Soft Flex Satin Silver FINE .014" 21 Strands, and when it comes to French wire, all of them are hollow, but for this project we used: FRENCH WIRE Medium 14" Silver Color which is 0.9mm thick (this is the standard mid-thickness). If you click the link in the description, the exact wire as well as the French wire are listed if you scroll down a bit so you can read more about them. :) Hope this is of help!
Hi Kendall, our website isn't shut down, we are simply out of stock of the French Wire. You can find it here:- www.eurekacrystalbeads.com/french-wire-silver-medium-14-inch/ Just click the "Notify Me" button to get an email as soon as it's back in stock! 💖
Hi Ree! So sorry about that. There is an option to change the play back speed in settings on the right side of the video (you can change it to 0.75 for example). We hope this helps!
