Captured Bead Tutorial

This is the first tutorial I've done and probably the last.  I can't stand to see my shaking hands up close and the huffing and puffing trying to start the camera and get in position and then turn it off afterwards isn't pretty.
I saw a captured bead bracelet online and loved it but couldn't find any instructions, so I tried it and found it to be very simple and easy to do.  One error in the video - in the first set of jump rings, after the first bead is inserted, it says "pick up all six."  That should be all four.
Anyway, here it is and I hope it is easy enough to understand and gives someone a new technique that they didn't have.  And I'm not giving up my day job.

  7. Awesome job! I have seen a tutorial for the cage but couldn't make heads or tails of it. You have made it very clear and it looks so easy I really want to give it a try :) Thanks so much for sharing!

  8. I can follow your instructions... I did try to make something out of that chain from a picture last year... without much success... may try again now that I've seen how to do it!
