How to make a Fringed Medicine Bag. 

A'Ho! Thank you for showing the basics. You did GREAT! 🙏🥰🙏

Jessie, thank you for your teachings and videos. Watching your videos I was able to use your techniques and some of my own experimentation to make 20+ medicine bags. I made each bag unique, included the four sacred medicines in each bag, smudged each bag and will be gifting to family members as a reminder that they are all connected. I have stage 4 cancer and I thought this would be a good way to pass on one of the 7 grandfather teachings to my family before my spirit continues it's journey. I have to add that your videos are quite soothing, I could sit with you for hours on your porch crafting. Miigwech for your gift! Giga-waabamin naagaj!

And Jessie... You're not the only one that knows how to do this... You was just the most comfortable for me.

Thank you for a great video, and sharing your knowledge!!

Thanks for sharing!

lovely thnks for sharing 💕🌟

Thank You❤ I saved this. New to channel too😁👍

thank you! i made my own medicine bag from your video LOVE IT! keep up the good work

I appreciate this video. Thank you so much.

There are several videos for making medicine pouches and this video is quite instructive. I am making one to give my wife next month. I need to adjust my fringes and add the neck strap, but it’s coming along.

A'ho Jessie, Thank you for your teachings and videos. I am so grateful to you for showing me how you craft your medicine pouches and other leather pieces. 💜🙏🏻 Where you purchase your supplies?

My grandpa wore one for as long as I’ve been alive, he filled it with gold, quartz, minerals, deer eye and other things he found. I got to wear his favorite one at his funeral and I feel like it made me tougher. I never knew much about it as I only saw him wearing it. The day after his funeral I saw a family with medicine bags on.

Hi thanks for sharing ur live. I see that your using wax string to stitch it. Is that better than D nylon thread?

Thanks for the tutorial bro. It helped me a lot. I'm going to be gifting some medicine bags to some of my family that helped me with my regalia and getting it ready for me and I danced at my pow wow for the first time this past August. I had a question in regards to the thread you were using is that just senew??

Hi Jessie again I forgot to tell you I don't punch holes in the leather it is some time it is a waist of time unless its from cow or stiff leather then maybe I would but I do use the hole thing has stuffing for thing thanks for the video

Hi Jessie dew thanks for making this video I know this is an month old but this is some thing that I make for people medicine bags are good I do personalize them by sewing on beads and other thing it is nice gift to give to some one I do that to use deer skin scrap and some time I use real sinew most of the time I use heavy wax nylon thread for a sub for real thing also I did brake a few glover needles in my life time no kidding you on this one some time it just brake on me that is all she wrote

Miigwetch/Thankyou! I followed your instructions and made a couple with some poor quality leather that i had laying about but the skin cracked and some of it shredded! I did get some decent deer hides that i will now use. What hides do you like to use for what projects? By the way I like that you're outdoors and hearing the different birds in your videos!

Hi gain I use an awl for the holes in the top for medicine bag that I make instead of a hole punch it not as harsh on your hands

Hi Jessie, I’m a beginner and ive been searching RU-vid for a medicine bag I can make and gift my husband, I stumbled across yours and knew this one is perfect! This is a suggestion and mean no disrespect , I often look in the description for the tools that were used, any measurements etc. Being new there are many things I don’t know what they are called or what size needles would be the best to work with. I have you pinned to my favourites and subscribe to your channel so I can continue to learn. Is there anything else can be used besides the hole punches? ( think that’s what you called them ) Thanks so much for your knowledge and videos greatly appreciated 💕

Thank You 💕🌀👣

me and my uncle use to live in a house in the country. and we went to a store 20 miles away when we came back there was a leather bag with charms on it hanging off his bed post in his room we dont know who put it there. we stayed to are self and did not have company come around.

Nice job! Where do I get this punch and what is the name of it?

For the ‘medicine’ to work, you should never reveal to anyone what you keep in it, no one knows what’s in mine.

How do you sharpen your punch

should have made your fringe a little smaller than the pouch just a thought

Total bullshit. Technicly not even possible. Meter of leather gone wtf

This is perfect! Thanks for your instructions. I'm hoping to do this with some of my students as well as make for myself and some family members and friends. chi-miigwech
