I used to watch my grandma do beadwork and I always took it for granted that it was easy because she made it look so easy. Now that I'm grown I see how much skill and dedication goes into it. Wish I had learned!
Thank you for this!! I have been wanting to learn so bad but no one to teach me. My Uhkomi (grandmother) recently passed away and I never got to learn from her. I want to keep her memory alive by making earrings and basket making.
Thank you, I had learn that already 😅, I made this video months ago when I first started to get involved, now I’m more familiar with the names of the items I use 😊
This is an awesome video, but I would like to make a suggestion if I could. I would suggest that you also add some kind of support in the middle so that the earring won’t start to buckle from wear and tear. I usually use any kind of cereal boxes or small cardboard boxes to add support to the middle of my earrings. 😁😁 I love to see more videos from you as you’re very good at these tutorials and I enjoy watching them. 🥰🥰
I use soft plastic lids from cottage cheese, sour cream, coffee lids, etc...I do this ever since My mom left her beaded pin on a sweater. It curled like crazy, esp. after it was put in the dryer. The cardboard hardened inside. So I use plastic lids, not sure if it would hold up in the laundry though 🤔
Pretty earrings! Your technique is a little different than what I have seen but I think your lines around the heart looked a lot cleaner. Thx for the video!
Thank you so much for this! I wasn't raised with any family that could teach me traditions and things like this and I've always wanted to bead this helps so much! ❤❤❤
This was a very good tutorial! New subbie! Would you mind doing more beaded earring tutorials? Trying to start as a hobby and this was very helpful. Thanks so much!
Kimberly Parnell , I hope my old video helps you in any way, it’s been a while since I made that video & I have learn so many things along the way , I’m planning on making another video once I get a chance
I’ve only done it once, my mom gave me my own kit to finish what she started for me but it’s been awhile I forgot how so thank you so much for sharing!
My cousin was visiting and she dropped beads and stuff for me.i guess,it's a sign to get back into beading which I haven't in years 🧐thank god for your video thank you
Love your work. What type of needles are they? Normal? Could you show the packaging? Its difficult matching the thread to the correct needle. I purchased beading needles and cant seem to get the thread through. The size I purchased are #11 - #12 my thread comes apart when i try to pull it through the hole. Should i purchase regular needles is there a difference??? Please help. Thanks! Also i cant seem to find backing for my earrings at Hobby Lobby ??
Thank youuu omg I’m just learning and trying to figure out how to make studs was stressing me out cuz I ain’t got no one to teach me :( I’ve been doing only dangling posts so I’m excited to try the fingernail ones!
(: you can find them on FB beading pages they sell, auction and etc.. you can look up ChrissysCreations, AliBeads(orders over messenger), IndigenousSupplies, ApaturaBeads and many other brands sell these centers.. just look up epoxy cabs/ cabochon/ flatback rhinestones/ centers.. you can also find them on Etsy, amazon, eBay 👍🏻
I use Nylon sewing thread, it doesn’t rip and holds well. I sell some centerpieces if you are interested and live in the US and Canada you can send me a DM through Instagram ( yessidiy)
Hi! Great tutorial 🌻 What type of backing are you sewing on is it upholstery vinyl/ leather? Would love to make these but not sure what backing to use Cheers from Australia 🐨
