r/kandi

Basically what the title says, the person next to me at my first and only concert gave me a kandi bracelet after the show, it’s the only kandi I’ve ever received, it’s very important to me and I wear it daily, but the beads keep snapping in half and I don’t have any in the right colors to fix it, it’s getting too small for me to wear (even with larger elastic) I have beads that are close enough to two of the original colors, but I don’t have any like the olive green and there’s only one of those left now.

So I guess the question is, what’s the most respectful way I can repair this? I could buy a kit with the original bead colors on amazon for $25, but since so many beads are broken now I don’t remember the original pattern.

I'm pretty new to making cuffs and stuff so I don't know many names D:

I was just experimenting and I’m really proud of this design I made I’ve never seen someone else with it but idk does this pattern already have a name or did I invent I new one?

I’ve just been calling it the “Izzy” cuff because I designed it as a gift for my friend Izzy in 2024 but she passed away shortly after I gave it to her but I don’t want to claim it as my own if someone’s already beat me to it.

List of fruits left to right: Orange, Strawberry, Lychee, Lime, Lemon, Blackberry, Blue Raspberry (lol), Grape, Blueberry, Cherry, Plum, Watermelon, Green and Red Apples, Pineapple, Mango, Peach.

I accidentally got stiff cording when I first got into the hobby and found out I can make spheres and fruits with it using this guide here and for some fruits I just added/changes things to his design. It probably would have been MUCH easier to do this with elastic cording like in the guide but the stiff cording worked even if it was kinda a pain to work with. I think it took 2 weeks of on and off work to finish all of them.

The blueberry and pineapple are my favorites, they came out good imo and were satisfying to see come together. I also tried to make a pear but failed lmao. Sorry pears. Idk what I will do with them, they are cute as is so maybe I’ll just keep them as trinkets or maybe make some into keychains to give to friends.

Been thinking of literally anything i can make with these uv reactive beads, so far the heart meter has to be my favorite! The other half is glow in the dark just so the beads kinda blended a bit more when its plain white but that also means it works in the dark too!

I made this as a gift for my partner who really likes Pierce the Veil.

Just wanted to share here some of the other things I made for a recent gift exchange. It was really fun!

ive struggled with peyote a lot, but as of now i think im pretty good at it. but i’ve severely struggled with even just attempting stuff like in the images ive added, and i havent been able to find tutorials on stuff like these anywhere. i was wondering if i could have help finding tutorials anywhere.

I’m planning to do my own pattern, but I’m unsure how to start making it and I can’t find any tutorials. my first guess was an odd peyote stitch starting from the top but now that I look at it I’m not sure how that would work out?

Can anyone give me a quick overview on how to get started? Thank you for reading!

EDIT: Even better if someone does have a video tutorial! I’ve only searched in YouTube and Pinterest.

Just some of my makes today school run and then back to work lol xxx

I got these bottle charm beads and I’m on the fence do I make them into chokers or necklaces
