Doing a volunteer project and think having some of these made would be great. Looking for a more economical solution though. Your thoughts?

Im new to your site today. and also new to jewelry making. I like this bracelet a lot and I am wondering if you could use the same idea with a longer cord and make it into a necklace. I like matching sets!

Hi Gail! Thanks for asking. I like shopping for jewelry supplies on etsy.com . Once you decide what size of bead hole, you can do a search on etsy. For example, if you need beads with 4mm hole, just use the search box at the top of the Etsy page and type in a search like “large hole beads 4mm hole”. You can also use that same search, “large hole beads 4mm hole” to search Google for other suppliers of beads with the size of hole you’re seeking. Hope this helps!

But I am having a very hard time finding interesting artsy beads with larger holes online. Do you have one or two favorite places that you purchase yours? Thank you.

Hi Jill, it’s important that the two cords fit snugly through the hole of the “tube bead”. You may need slightly thicker cord, or a tube bead with slightly smaller hole. I hope this helps! πŸ™‚

Knot it on or should it stay on its own? I may have just done it wrong.

Love all of your designs. I adjusted your design by using a copper tube in the middle and small silver beads (with a raised design on the beads) on each side. Finished look is unique. Thanks for the inspiration.

Stacy, could you use a jump ring to repair the break, or possibly use a piece of wire to create a decorative way to fix the break? If it’s too small for you to see, could you direct a friend on how to do the fix with a jump ring?

I’ve been looking everywhere trying to explain my brscelet, and I followed you here. My bracelet can now call itself an “adjustable cord bracelet” that was made in silver. I liked it because it had a partial bar of silver as a decorative touch, running between two silver chains that attached to the each end of the bar and then met at the back of the bracelet where they entered a silver round bead that served to tighten the bracelet to your liking. However, as I was trying to get it on, one of the chains broke off of the bar rendering it useless. I have bad eyes, and I could not tell whee the break happened, but it seems it just pulled itself sway from one chain link, and if my eyes were what they used to be, I would have had it rejoined very quickly. As it is, I can’t even imagine what it looks like on. It’s not a piece of fine jewery; I just like it. I used to do all my own jewelry repairs myself until my eyesight got too bad, but wht would you advice, given it’s costume jewelry? Do you have any hacks you can share with me?

Hi Shari, I use my jewelry pricing formula for pricing my jewelry, to make sure I’m not losing money on the sale of my items. If you follow the formula and people say your prices are too high, then you may be showing your jewelry to the wrong crowd or in the wrong venue. You may need to target a different audience – or sell your jewelry in different places. And / or you may need to package, display, and promote the piece as being worth the price.

would sell for? I do craft fairs and I made some really nice knotted bracelets and was charging $25. I belonged to a jewelry group and I asked for critique. They told me I should be selling them for $10. The beads were pretty expensive and it made me discouraged. Pricing is so hard. I had a retail store for 19 years and had no trouble there but people think you should give stuff away at craft fairs.
Thank you for any advice, Shari

I LOVE this bracelet. I just made one!! I haven’t made any jewelry for about a month. But this one looked like fun so I tried it. I started giggling when I put it on!!! It’s SO cute!! I used these heavy brass heart-shaped beads for the end beads and my wrist is flanked by love. Aww. Love this! Thank you so much. πŸ™‚

I haven’t had that situation yet with my bracelets, but – depending on the type of cord – it’s certainly something to keep in mind.
