Pushing the bead gap back in place.. thank you for that. I always just took apart then have to re- thread and try again. Now I know that's all it took. 😄
Absolutely stunning and beautiful!! The way you work;u make it look like a breeze!! The purple is my favorite color 1 but they all are tops beyond tops! I so appreciate your tips and tricks!! 🤗 your new bead friend Melissa aka Made With Love 💜By: Mel from South Florida!!
Thank you for making this video, it was very informative for me. I have been wanting to do some bead embroidery for awhile, and this is a perfect starting point! Its gorgeous, and I love all your bead soup ideas FYI! I love all the tips and especially how you point out the color-lined beads, and how to enhance. Thank you kindly!
Hi Andrea, thanks for such a thoughtful comment. Bead embroidery is so much fun, and very rewarding -- and a marvelous way to use bead soup, LOL. I hope you enjoy your journey into bead embroidery! :D
Hi Faye, Thanks for your comment. I have a weakness for pink. ;) But if someone asks me what my favorite color is, I say, "Glitter!". (I like bling, lol).
I love them all if been doing bead soup barrette for a while they are amazing fun to do, and if you pass a charity shop with a ugly necklace but lovely beads, mix them up and bam! a lovely barrette clip lol. kind regards Sharon.
Wonderful work! I must try a bead soup embroidery project. I have tons that I use for fringe projects, but you made it look so easy and beautiful that I really want to try it with bead embroidery. I'd suggest that on future hair clips, just to make them firmer, you could insert a rectangle of flashing or plastic from a milk carton or lid top or something to act as a stiffener so it'll be easier to handle and less squishy. Your barrette is so pretty. :) I'm inspired.
Hi Valorie, welcome! Yes, if something really needs stiffness, using both Lacy's Stiff Stuff and a thin piece of plastic is the way to go. Glad you enjoyed the video and happy beading! :)
Gayle, I really like the green one the best, but they're all so pretty. You really are talented fitting the beads in together...I've tried and it's not easy as it looks, to me anyway:). Thank you for showing me the stitches too, I really appreciate it and learned a lot!!!!!
Hi Teresa, thanks so much for your kind words! Fitting the beads together becomes easier as you practice (I've just had a lot, LOL). Happy New Year! :D
G'Day My Wonderful Friend, I like what did with your little pink bead soup mix. "It's a little bit of fabulous" and would suit any one. Your other two are just a good and three of them together would make a lovely gift for any occasion. I have forgotten if I mentioned that I am at the moment working a a bread Embroidery piece. I love to do this form of bead work as it is so free flowing. I go where the beads take me and I place them in soupy colours, ruff textures and different shaped beads. As the design grows I am so amazed at how those masses of beads that one collects can combine in wonderful imagery and playful swirls of movement within the overall design. It's a bit like being allowed to work with Nature.....she is such an artist in the way she skillfully arranges her scenes. This form really allows the beginner to be free and confident in working a design. And I am sure that there will be a lot of these little beauties being made by and for many people. Will your next video be about Bead Embroidery ... I hope so!!!!!!! Thanks for this wonderful video and I hope that all is well with you.... hear from you soon my wonderful friend.... Happy Beading and many Blessings......XXXXXOOOX
+Chris Phillips Hi Chris, I was thinking you might end up liking the pink bead soup, even though pink really isn't your thing. :) I will have some more bead embroidery, although I need to get the Russian-Cellini Spiral video finished as well. No telling which one will be next! I also have a bead embroidery ebook that I am working on, so am busy. Happy Beading!!!
+Beaded Jewelry Diva Love bead Embroidery but I so love doing Cellini spiral. I have just finished a necklace where I used the Cellini spiral and attached it to a group of seed bead flowers.... it was all done in many tones of turquoise and silver. It also has tints of green and crystals with 6 mm emerald pearls. I find that doing Cellini is very relaxing and surprisingly quick to do. Can't wait to see what you do and which ever one that comes first doesn't worry me, I will love them both. Good luck with the ebook and if it was "a Real book" I would have bought it but I don't use or own ebooks ...sorry but I like books that I can hold and turn pages and store in bookshelves ....I have almost 700 fiction books...crime novels and about 50 craft books. Looking forward to your videos .... hear from you soon.
Thanks a lot that is soo beautiful and was very interesting to watch.... the only problem is that I now want to take up bead embroidery and I really don't have time for any more craft projcts lol. But this tut is now on my pin board so I can return to it when I do have time. Love your nail polish too it's very pretty. looking forward to more tutorials!
My favorite is the pink because I love the pyramid bead and dragon's tears. The texture is nice. Another use for the barrette is a decorative 'pin'. It will work on a very thin scarf if the clasp is large or around crochet work. I'm thinking of making these and simply using a pin back instead of a barrette clasp. Another idea is to make a figure eight type shape so I can insert a hair chopstick and make a hair clasp or scarf pin that way.
🤗thanks for this tutorial I have bought some mystery Boss Bags from Fire Mountain Gems a while back and so many of them I did not like for using for jewellery but they would be perfect for this sort of work🤗🤗
Beaded Jewelry Diva 🤗🤗thank you I just pulled out some of the beads and noticed they will need to be washed and polished before I can use them just as well I have the special tumbler to do just that 🤗
Awesome video. I haven't tried bead embroidery yet, but sometimes when I beading some &^(#$ gets in my way I will use blue or green painter's tape to cover it over and it seems to help me.
This is very pretty. You said you couldn't wait to finish it, lol, so how long does it actually take to make something like this? I can't wait to find the stiff stuff and suede and get embroidering. It looks so awesome and you make it look so easy.
thank you for making this tutorial I only found you a few months ago I used to embroidery when I was a kid but never did bead embroidery never thought about it I thought it was way too hard for me you made it look so easy and simple what do I need to get to do the embroidery on what is that stuff called on the back where I live I only have a Hobby Lobby and they have little to nothing in it I've got a pack of barrettes I'd like to give it a try thank you for making this look so simple and easy to me bright blessings xoxo are you on Facebook too
+DottiMaureen Hi! Lacey's Stiff Stuff is a beading foundation that is readily available in the US. In other parts of the world, I suggest stiffened felt or a thick interfacing (like you would use in sewing). Hope this helps! :)

+Coleen Taylor Hi Colleen, Hobby Lobby might have the Lacy's Stiff Stuff, but if they don't, try using stiffened felt. If you can't find that, try some heavyweight interfacing. If you've done regular embroidery, you'll have a lot of fun with bead embroidery. Enjoy!!! :D
you did that seven years ago and now people do that and still not as good and amazing as yours. ... best wishes sweet teacher ❤🌼💚
This is making me want to do a bead soup bodice!
Pushing the bead gap back in place.. thank you for that. I always just took apart then have to re- thread and try again. Now I know that's all it took. 😄

Hi Lisa, that is so sweet of you to say that -- it's morning as I read this, so it's a great start for my day! Happy Beading! :D
gorgeous project
+nani feliz Thank you! :)
I like thevpink one the best.
Fun tutorial and it´s very beautiful work. Thank you for sharing this. I´m ready to start beading. Hugs/Laila
Hi Laila, I hope you have started beading and that you are having a good time!

But this tut is now on my pin board so I can return to it when I do have time. Love your nail polish too it's very pretty. looking forward to more tutorials!
+Anja Anja Thanks for your comment, and I know what you mean -- I have way too many projects and so very little time. :D
If bead soup has mostly large beads -- is it '"bead stew?" :)
Why didn’t you tuck the ends of the barrette clip into your backing so it will look a little more slim lined? Looks beautiful.
My favorite is the pink because I love the pyramid bead and dragon's tears. The texture is nice.
Another use for the barrette is a decorative 'pin'. It will work on a very thin scarf if the clasp is large or around crochet work.

Hi Angela, yes, I had bought some of those loooong ago. They would be good for this purpose! Hope you have fun using your bead soup. :)

Hi Linda -- glad you enjoyed the video! :)
So I don't have the atra swade thingy so can I just use felt at that part as well?
This is very pretty. You said you couldn't wait to finish it, lol, so how long does it actually take to make something like this? I can't wait to find the stiff stuff and suede and get embroidering. It looks so awesome and you make it look so easy.
I think this took me about 6 hours, over 2 days. And it is pretty easy; the hardest part is deciding what to do first! ;)
Linda Lowney, Suede! Great idea!

Just wondering; what is 'lacy stiff stuff' really? I'm in Norway and don't know your terms.. But I love your videos!
