I love that your videos are quick into the point and you don’t sit there and blah blah blah like so many people who do these videos! These are great ideas using the straw and I love that there are paper and fabric pieces intermixed.
I think she's terrific! Here are some other bead videos if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/nX_IFNEf5F0/v-deo.html Other beads with drinking straws: ua-cam.com/video/bex4DRORIV8/v-deo.html
Right on, I have to say Hi, I am addicted to Secret's Boho Beads. I luv her videos and luv to see credit shown for her talent. I'm really liking your spin on them too. I am a beginner and truly inspired with all the great tutorials spun off hers. I luv your channel too!
So, I'm a year or so behind on the Boho bead wagon; however, this was a great tutorial and I can't wait to try it. Thank you for a great "new to me" craft!
I love how your tutorials are so easy to follow and that they allow the viewer to incorporate their own style/flair to the basic project. I'm going to give your tutorial a gothy/witchy twist with my colors and metal findings. Thanks for this great tutorial!
Oh my I just discovered your channel. Now I must go back and see all your videos because I know I missed some awesome items and tutorials. I cannot wait to get started on some of these great DIY items. I hope I will get ideas for our DIY hummingbird bath for our yard!!
Very kind of you to do a shout out to Sigrid. She has been through a lot and this recognition could not have gone to a sweeter, more creative person. P.S. I have all your books, at least the older ones. Always watch your videos, too!
Hey mark You are so talented..you deserve millions of subscribers ...i never skip an add before your video and watch the complete video .. Thanks for your tutorials 😊
That makes me so happy to hear! Thank you! I've been at it a long time and even though I don't have tons of followers, I still love the ones I have and try to get back to everyone. You made my day!
These look great and fun to make. I bet they'd make nice zipper pull fobs. I've been wanting to spruce up my weekend back pack and now I think I've got an idea. Thanks for posting!
Mark! What an incredible idea! I have done paper beading for years & not once did I ever think of using a straw and gluing the paper onto it, much less using fabric! Just think about how you can coordinate your jewelry with your clothes. Boy Howdy - I am truly on fire! Thanks! Jackie
Hi Mark Montano, I just want to say you never cease to amaze me...Thank you for the this wonderful upload and also you are a truly gifted and talented guy (btw I have ALL your books and I have attempted to to make about 70% of all the projects too). Im also subbed to Secret Soto, and she is very creative sometimes I feel she doesn't get the recognition she deserves, for someone with your platform and to do a shout out says so much about your character - please stay exactly the way you are because you Sir are a True Gentleman! My hat off to you (and add a courtesy). 😎😎😎
I love Sigrid (Secret) so much. I think she's a genuine artist and I enjoy watching her journey. She has a real joy for creating and she deserves big success. Thanks for your kind comment Alexis!
+Mark Montano Wow! Thank you so much for replying, everything you say sums it all up - Amazing human beings connected through the power of Art!!! Have an Awesome Art filled day!! ☺️ 🌈⭐️
Love your take on sigrid's boho beads, I am subscribed to (sigrid) secret soto (and stacy of Pink poodle crafts) both of these ladies are talented and inspirational
Aloha Kakahiaka Marvelous Mark! the gold cap ends really got my attention with the metallic threads. I'd sure love to see some earrings like this..Thinking that Coffee Stir Straws would be fabulous for this to make smaller ones. Aloha my friend.
Gratitude! Short + to the point! Awesome video. I'm trying to make dangles for an altered book I've made. oooh Should do a altered book tutorial. Sending love from Sedona AZ 😘
Hi Mark, Secret Soto has loads of great ideas, I hope everyone checks out her channel. I love making this type of bead because it uses up the scraps I collect (hoard).
I never waste a scrap! *Find me on Patreon for content I'm not sharing anywhere else. www.patreon.com/MarkMontano I'm posting more and more over there. I hope you'll take a peek and consider being part of it!
They look fantastic Mark. I made a heap a few months ago also inspired by secret. (Just love her channel) im a sewer so had loads of the longer cotton reels empty so used those to make boho bead bag dangles so adictive i got a little carried away lol and made a bunch so much fun. Love your take on them. Isnt it great that everyones are so different i love everyones own creative take inspiring.
I see so many folks saying .... ohhh mine dont look the same as yours and my replys always the same i say thats great they are not supposed to. Your art reflects you so everyones should be different.
Love the beads you showed. You make them look so very simple yet creative and easy to try for anyone. I would like to know about the fabric glue you use.
@Karen Escalera ooo That's a good one! I many times find myself, after the fact, saying, oh crap I should have bought that or kept that to use as (fill in the blank). I'm going to make it my word, too! Thank you!
Good Morning Mark Yup, this is one of my favorite projects* what a fun and funky thing to make. I think I will try adding a big bead to the end, wouldn't that be pretty. Love this project so much. *** deezie
I love that your videos are quick into the point and you don’t sit there and blah blah blah like so many people who do these videos! These are great ideas using the straw and I love that there are paper and fabric pieces intermixed.
Not a big blabber so I'm glad you like my style Vivian!

I love to be challenged with my scraps. It gives me a good reason for being a hoarder!
Luv the bead making videos. Thanks
I have a few of them. I get inspired every year to make beads out of recycled or materials that are overlooked. Glad you stopped by Jacquelyn!
So sparkly but easy to make. Love them
Yes indeed!

Melina Smith my thoughts exactly!
Ohhhh yes! I have been looking for something I can do with my 13 year old niece this summer. She will love this.

Love when you do Jewelry Awesome!
Sometimes I have to take a break from furniture. :)
Love the beads you showed. You make them look so very simple yet creative and easy to try for anyone. I would like to know about the fabric glue you use.
Hey there! It's just regular white school glue. But you can seal them with a Minwax polycrylic when you're done if you want.
Yeah more beads!! Lol love ‘em thanks again Mark. Xoxoxo
I love a good bead project! Especially ones that use up my scraps.
Mark Montano since I stared diy last fall I’m a garbage surfer!! My word for this year is perspective!
@Karen Escalera ooo That's a good one! I many times find myself, after the fact, saying, oh crap I should have bought that or kept that to use as (fill in the blank). I'm going to make it my word, too! Thank you!
Luv dem beads, Mark! Where's Unruly Julie? She needs to be modeing these necklaces.....I'd love to see them finished! Adore you Mark, big hug, cat

Hi Mark,
With these beads if I seal them in varnish will they stand up to being put on a windchime?
I think so. Just make sure they are heavily coated.
Good
