    Just found you and you are great. You talk about what ever you want. FYI it is a great stress reliever. I enjoy listening to what other people are doing. I have been the caregiver for the last 6 years for my mother who is 81 with Cancer and my 91 year old Daddy who is slowing way down with different issues. So I don’t get to go anywhere. You being in the horse business keeps me in the loop. Trained Thoroughbred racehorses for 38 years. Before that showed Quarter Horses and Hunter Jumpers. Still ride but no showing until? Used to bead and now getting back into it. Enjoy you so much. Trying to catch up on your videos. Stay safe bless you family.

  • @fatimamancuso

    What do you do when some color beads are different widths despite same size? It causes the lines of the weft threads to not be straight but become wavy.
    Do you push them against the last row of beads anyways and keep going maybe eventually adding beads in the low areas? Or do you prefer to keep them straight and live with gaps?

  • @fredobrien4681

    Spent hours stringing this and getting the beginning ready. Then went to pull the first row of beads through and the string broke. I really don't understand why. My string was definitely not over tightened. I was actually worried they were too loose. I bought the same string and loom as you. I'm so upset. 😢

  • @ghuber480

    Ok, a lot of questions. I built a loom when I was in 4th grade and I did quite a bit for about a year. I’m 67 now and want to do some more. Are your beads #10 or #11, what kind of thread do you use, who makes your needles and what size are they?

    I love your work! I'm new to beading and getting stuck in one area. I'm trying to start the first row. I get the beads on the needle and place the beads underneath with a string between each. But when I try to pull the needle through, the beads get stuck on the eye of the needle. I'm using the needle that came with the kit, but maybe my needle isn't right? I honestly don't know what size the needle is. I may try to purchase a size 12 as you recommended and see how that goes, but if you have any advice, I'm open to it.

    • @ranchwifelife4041
      @ranchwifelife4041  2 роки тому +1

      It does sound like the needle is too big, or the beads are too small. I’m sorry you are having issues! I always use size 12 needle with 11/0 delica seed beads.

    When you “send to leather” who are you sending to? I would love to make a dog collar but sounds like it will be tough secure the beadwork onto a leather collar properly for a beginner without a lot of tools. 🙈

    • @ranchwifelife4041
      @ranchwifelife4041  3 роки тому

      I lucked into finding a great leather partner when I first started beading. My friend Justine owns her leather company, Mile High Supply. She does great work. There are a ton of great leather workers out there. A great place to search would be on the USA Made Cowboy Marketplace page on Facebook. Make sure you find someone reputable who has worked with beadstrips before.

    hi so i'm thinking of making my own dog collar. But now i want to order beads but have like no idea how much there goes into a dog collar (neck size 48 cm). The shop i want to buy sells them per gram so for example 3 gram. So how much gram do i need for one?

    • @ranchwifelife4041
      @ranchwifelife4041  3 роки тому

      3 grams would be about 570 beads. The dog collar in this video was only 4 inches long (it was for a chihuahua), and I used 1,955 beads. I order from Golden Age Beads and they are typically under $3/5 gram tube (which is over 900 beads). Pick the colors you like and whatever you don’t use, save for your next project.
