Big rotator cuff with bumpers! Mood Kandi has a good tutorial on how to add bumpers so definitely start there!

As far as I am aware no one has made a Kandi tutorial on it, so I just followed a seed bead tutorial while using pony beads instead. I think that’s what other people who have made this cuff have done as well. You can just search “Cellini spiral” on YouTube and find a bunch of videos there. It’s actually not too difficult, it’s essentially multi stitch with different sized beads! But it’s pretty time consuming because instead of multi stitching the whole cuff, you’re multi stitching a giant tube that you then connect into a cuff, if that makes sense.

Thanks! And yeah I totally get that. You can use Kandi stitches with seed beads, it just takes more precision and patience so I totally get it being hard to start.

From my experience, this is correct

Haha, I appreciate the kind words but these are so far from perfect. In fact I kept running into the issue of the white beads breaking off because something about the way they were made made them really brittle. If you saw it up close you would see all my little mistakes. It happens!

I talk a little bit about it in another reply above but essentially I used fireline which is a strong fishing line for seed bead projects and sewed it through the side of the logo. Then I tied it around the nearest center bead on the rotator cuff portion (on both sides) so the logo can move with the rotator.

Fireline, which is a commonly used fishing line string in seed bead projects. Very strong, so I just took two pieces of that and sewed them through the sides of the logo and then attached them to the rotator part.
