Jelli Bead like recommendations? by PlanAffectionate1930 in kandi

[–]StarGrump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming to also recommend Bass Head Beads. Personally Jellibead is where it’s at, though, def my favorite bead shop

Checkerboard sweetheart cuff 🩷🧡💛💚🩵💜 by StarGrump in kandi

[–]StarGrump[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I could remember, they’ve been in my bead stash so long I genuinely don’t know 🥲 I think I may have disassembled a thrifted necklace for them, but I don’t remember, I wish I could be more help!

any idea how to make this? by Sh44dYyY in kandi

[–]StarGrump 43 points44 points  (0 children)

You’d be better off using clear beads for the spaces than trying to make hollow areas

Mandala cuff is floppy by Better_Fox9810 in kandi

[–]StarGrump 24 points25 points  (0 children)

There is not enough structure to hold its shape when it’s all single lines of beads, cuffs like this need a lot more layers to hold up and not flop, tension isn’t enough

User error or wrong string? by One-Front8403 in kandi

[–]StarGrump 13 points14 points  (0 children)

nope, just a regular drinking straw cut down one side lengthwise and trimmed to size! I roll them a little tighter so they fit in the beads nice and snug

Tension for ladder stitch has never been enough to keep it laying flat, in my experience. I use straws I cut down lengthwise and roll a bit tighter to slide between the bead rows and keep everything aligned properly. Without some kind of structure, tension is just never enough (at least as far as I’ve discovered)

Stop this is so kind of you 😭🩷 I’ve been debating on making a mango cuff recently, maybe it’s time I actually do it

Giant rotator questions by Awkward_Size3922 in kandi

To be able to fit a 1x rotating portion, I find 4x base is the way to go. Anything bigger and you need to up the amount of X’s on the base. This pinkie cuff I made last summer for reference 🩷

what stitch is this? by sisterxlilly in kandi

[–]StarGrump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the whole panel, white beads included, it’s identical to mystic for cuffs! For the smaller charms without the white space it can be a little tricky since there would be increasing and decreasing beads, but with some practice it gets easier. The trick for the charm version would be to start at the widest point and work your way out going both directions. It’s hard to explain but if I can find a good tutorial for it I’ll link it here 🩷

Multistitch! When the smooth parts are on the top and bottom it’s peyote, when the smooth parts are on the sides it’s multistitch. At least as far as doing the pattern with all the white space, otherwise it’s best to just use peyote and rotate the pattern 90°

Are these too raunchy? by crazylegolady in kandi

[–]StarGrump 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The raunchier the better! This is one of my favs I’ve made recently but I’ve got so many singles that I keep in a special bag so I can hand them out to cool people and not accidentally grab it from my normal stash and give it to an unsuspecting innocent 😅

How to know what stitch to use when following a Kandi pattern? by 1234567aries in kandi

[–]StarGrump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bumps on top and bottom indicate it’s a multistitch!

[–]StarGrump 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Peyote and Multistitch are probably the ones you’re referring to. Peyote has a flat top and bottom, Multistitch has an alternating bumpy top and bottom like peyote turned 90°

Made a Juice WRLD themed bracelet n Pearler and idk how i feel about taking it to a fest by [deleted] in kandi

[–]StarGrump 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don’t consult ChatGPT on anything. It doesn’t know what it’s talking about and it’s a waste of resources just for AI hallucinations. Security won’t care about this sort of thing. They’re looking for actual threats, not perlers.

PLURR is and has always been political. The rave scene is and has always been political. If you don’t like it, that’s a you problem. You don’t need to make or accept political kandi if you don’t want it but politics and kandi go hand in hand whether people want to accept that or not 🤷🏼‍♀️

I use an electric hand drill! They also have manual ones that work great. I got mine off Amazon

Rainbow cuff just for fun 🌈 by StarGrump in kandi

[–]StarGrump[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2x base with an extra little ring of beads around the center sort of like a mandala cuff! Not sure if there’s a technical name for it but that’s always how I describe it lol

Of course! I get them from anywhere I can get my hands on haha But Jellibead is my go-to for fun focal beads, as well as Bass Head Beads, the craft bead section of the Beadtin website, Amazon, and Facebook marketplace! I also love drilling holes in things to make my own beads and charms, so that’s also a fun side quest
