apologies for any poor grammar ime very stupaid
I buy my pony beads and elastic from local stores, which I wont be naming for my privacy since if I'm right theyre only in my country, one is basically dollarama but everything is a dollar cheaper originally if you rip off the orice sticker, the other I'm not sure about its origins or anything
A big bag of pony beads (about a pound, on the reciept it said it was 30 small bags in one, every smaall bag has about 20 beads and cost one dollar) cost me about 20 bucks, but again everything is SOMEWHAT cheaper for crafts in my country though
60ft of elastic cord cost me $1.25 , it isnt the highest quality but it gets the job done , only complaint is its a very obnoxious teal glittery fabric
🧵; Peyote Stitch
This is my first kandi that I made, I previously had expierence making regular elastic bracelets with beads and letters, so it didnt turn out too bad, I followed a tutorial by cybr.grl, I've only made one but I'm planning on remaking it now that I know what to do to make this look 5x better
I used some leftover elastic from a kit a relative gave me from waaay back when I started making bracelets (mid 2023)

🧵; Bead lizard
I turned mine into a keychain that I clip onto my lanyard, but if you extend the tail a bit and use a jump ring or whatever or a smaller clip thingy instead it could be a bracelet, but I don't reccomend using elastic for this as its already pretty floppy and during the process you have to rearrange it many times, I've made 2, one for my brother and one for me, however I only have the image of mine :p
following a tutorial by Hazel Muffins on youtube, their tutorials are great for beginners ^_^
🧵; Flower cuff (failed)
I tried to make a flower cuff, but since this one was a bit more complicated, I didn't know how to hide the elastic, and especially since mine is a very obnoxious color, it doesnt look very good, but I blame this on me not understanding the tutorial too well, however, it is not a bad tutorial, and ill still mention it, it's just a bit tough to follow the last steps for me personally, the tutorial is by GingerCandE on YouTube ^_^
🧵; Ladder stitch cuff
This is probably my best cuff ever, because the process is very easy, and the results are very clean, with barely any chunky elastic knots showing, ive made two! one of 6 rows and one of 2 and 3 rows with letters, I don't remember what tutorial i used, but I'll link a short and simple one below
🧵; Flower cuff (the not failed one)
I used a different tutorial for this and made up my own way to hide the elastic, which I dont remember a whole lot, the tutorial I used is by Hazel Muffins on YouTube
🧵; Kandi scrunchie
I made this a bit too big for my wrist, so I use it as a hair tie, but it falls out a bit easily still :(, I made this using a tutorial by GingeCandE on YouTube
🧵; "Double"
This is probably the quickest one to make, I made it in about 20 minutes, I dont remember exactly who made the tutorial again, but it'll be in the link obviously :p
🧵; Stim bracelet
I made this bracelet because of its unique shape, but it's also fun to fidget around with as the name suggests, at least it's the only name I've seen it go by, I also made it because the tutorial by TurboBeads that I found is the only one ive found for this design
🧵; Flower ring
This can also be made with seed beads, but my elastic is too thin to use seed beads and pony beads without the pony beads sliding everywhere, I made it using the tutorial by TurboBeads, once again I believe it may be his own original design
🧵; Star glove
While looking complicated, this is pretty easy to make if you get the star right, its just 3 pieces that you connect together, once again I don't remember exactly who made the tut, I believe it was someone with a channel aalong the name of kanditoybox ?
🧵; Ladder stitch flower cuff
This is by far the easiest way for me personally to make flower cuffs, I made another one but I kinda messed up and made it too big so I cut it and made a smaller one, I made this using a tutorial by TurboBeads, but if you already know how to do the ladder stitch: The pattern is one green, one green, two pink, one pink one yellow one pink, two pink, one green, one green
🧵; Kandi goggles
This is my biggest piece of kandi, and takes alooooot of beads, so plan your color palette beforehand, I reccomend watching the tutorial once, then replay it and follow along with the steps as it does get a little complicated, I made this using the tutorial by Hazel Muffins
That's all of my collection for now, from now on everytime I post my kandi creations I'll link the tutorial in the same post, thank you for reading 
ps; about the image, PLUR stands for "Peace, Love, Unity and Respect"
