    Fuzzy knots

    Thank you Pearl Dreams. I think you may be right and it's my anxiety disorder occuring. I think that was about 2 months worth of wear. And I wore them pretty heavily. I'll try and give 6 months a go and not focus on them so much. Thank you for your kindness 💖

    Fuzzy knots

    Hi everyone, It's been a little bit of time since I've been on here. I'm now using serafil and still getting fuzzy knots. Is this because I'm using 4 threads and the knots are bigger, or this this just wear and tear if you wear your bracelet every day for a couple of months? I'm kind of at my...

    Knots between pearls

    Oh gosh!! None of that sounds fun. And I live in Australia, it feels like practically everyone likes to go to the beach. I just don't see the appeal

    Knots between pearls

    Now I understand what you meant. I actually can't swim at all. Being on the spectrum I dislike the smell of chlorine, so I won't go in a pool, unless I have to for therapeutic purposes. I'm also blonde so the chlorine if I went in it regularly, and wasn't careful, would turn my hair green. Even...

    Knots between pearls

    I just assumed since my question was specific about the thread, then so was her answer. I don't wear pearls in the shower etc but I was curious in case say I washed my hands and got water on my bracelets or I got caught in a downpour and didn't have an umbrella. I know that the pearls themselves...

    Hi, I'm on my laptop so I can't post a screenshot, so I'm going to copy and paste my questiotn and answer that I received on etsy: Me: can beader's secret thread get wet without it damaging the threads/knots and causing fraying? Bernadette: My general advice is to wear your pearls as the...

    Hi, Bernadette from Beader's secret told me it couldn't get wet. Now I;m really confused.

    Has anyone else also tried wildfire? I wanted to give it a go because it can apparently get wet. Which size is the equivalent to serafil and beader's secret in the medium weight?

    This one was 2 threads of medium but 4 were used for the first 3 pearls and 4 were used going back through the last 4. I used knots like in that YouTube video and then an awl to place it as close to the pearls as possible before pulling the 2 strands apart and tugging it around 5 times like you...

    Knots between pearls

    OK here is the finished product. Ignore the ending because I always finish off messy. What I want to achieve is no movement of the pearls between knots and a bracelet if I wear everyday will last at least 6 months without restringing. I did my knots like the video I shared with toy yesterday...
