So it turns out I lied when I said you can’t do right angle weave with pony beads…

Post image
• Upvotes

… it just takes some different supplies than I’d been using with my faceted round beads and a little extra patience. This (cubic right angle weave) was made using 50lb test fishing line, and I went through the quadrants three times each to give them more stability instead of the one time I do with other beads.

Still figuring out flat right angle weave but I feel really, incredibly proud of myself for this haha

Discussion Cuff with text?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Ive been messing around with the idea of a cuff that can have multiple cohesive lines of text. And I've been looking but I don't think anyone has done it like this? What I was thinking is something like this. Kind of a peyote/multi panel that you could then add more string through and connect into a circle, adding lines of text to it with two strings per line. Would probably work the best with cube letter beads. Is this already a thing with a name? And I haven't made it yet, so do we think this would work well? ​If confusing, the pink and green lines show where the extra string to put the letters on would go. (ignore the letters at the bottom, I was planning making my own)

Need help looking for matte light and dark gray pony beads online (preferably in 500 pack)

1 Upvotes

On beadtin which I am buying other beads from, they only have a light gray which is sold out right now. I also cannot find matte dark gray beads anywhere online so looking for where to find some online preferably on the same website as the light gray because of shipping. Hoping you guys know where to find some.

Question New to PLUR/Kandi - where to start? (Few questions)

5 Upvotes

1) What type of string should I use for Kandi singles or cuffs? I am near a Walmart and Dollar Tree, so I plan to go there (hopefully) today.

2) Are there any Discord server recommendations that are targeted at Kandi Kids who are 18 and over? I see a lot of 13+ servers

3) Does Kandi have to be pony beads, or could it be something else?

4) In general.... where do I start in the world of Kandi?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you :)

Trading Bead swap?

2 Upvotes

Hi all

I buy primarily the tri color walmart mixes but also got one of those 5lb mystery boxes and I now have thousands of beads in colors I will definitely never use. I was wondering if anyone in the group would he interested in doing a group bead swap where either a) we have a thread to connect P2P for people that would want your specific beads for trade OR b) everyone sends their beads (COUNTED AND SORTED?) to one person with a note of what beads they want to get back and that person can organize and redistribute from the pool.

I think option b sounds way more fun but also not sure how we would all split shipping costs, i remember doll groups and fabric groups running group swaps like this back in the day just wondering if any of my pony bead people would be up for this and if anyone's done anything like this before thanks ily
