My normal beading lady didn't come through for a requested belt for my son's wedding in three weeks so I had to dust up my skills to get one done. I appreciate these videos more than you can imagine 🙂
Wow, love that you made a piece for your son’s wedding!!! Glad the videos helped ❤️
First time here like your teaching method. Happy I found your channel. Just a beginner bender so trying to learn and this helps a lot. Thanks for sharing
You're videos are so helpful! Really glad I found them thank you so much!
You are a very good teacher! My wife and I are watching these videos for her School, she is expanding her Jewelry making class into beading. It is one of the most popular classes in her High School.
What a nice compliment! As a former teacher, and current school counselor, I love that these are being used for educational purposes!
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.
❤️💋🐾🐾🐎🐂🔥
Thanks for this. I was trying to do a 16 wide and was having a hard time getting them all to stay in place. I now see your technique and the errors of my ways
Thank you so much for this tutorial and all the videos on this playlist!! You’re such a dear for sharing your knowledge. It’s so encouraging for beginners 💛
I am glad you are enjoying it! Happy to help!
I love your teaching style, so easy to follow and you seem so genuine.
Thanks for the content you share!
Thanks for watching!
great video. it took me a minute to figure out how it was working, but it finally clicked. lol. i think i might actually be able to give it a try now thanks to your awesome video. thank you for sharing your knowledge
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Awesome work,ive done leather work for years and recently saw a belt with bead work that knocked my socks off,im gonna learn this
It's a great hobby to have! Good luck!
Thanks for the informative videos. What do you do with the warp thread tails after the bead strip is cut off the loom?
Hi …I am new with loom …the problème his the size bead
I bought som at the dollar store
What size his the one you are working
Sorry I am french and my whriting his not great
I live in Canada..🇨🇦 PQ..live 60 miles from Montréal
Thank you ….love your explination
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?
no idea if you will see this or even answer if you do but, how do you know the bead order? are you just looking at the design or is there a pattern counter that counts them by column?
My loom requires that I cut my project at the end, and begin a new section…and then I guess I will need to eventually connect all the pieces?? Do you have a video that will show me what to do with all the extra ends? I currently have 17 horizontal threads
Do the screws get in the water?
How do you do a lanyard with a bracelet or hat band pattern? There’s really no good patterns I don’t want to do the wrap around pattern
Its a very nice job.i like it an im your workmate although getting customer in our country is hard.congratulations
Thank you for sharing! This is really interesting to me and I can’t wait for more videos!
Thank you for watching! Hope it helped!
We really had to hear when was the last time you had a mani/ pedi done ?
Hello from Waco Tx , I just found you today, your work is just wonderful ,do you have a video on the dog collar part around it ? Oh and your teaching was wonderful tooo
Hi! Thanks for watching! Love Waco, sic’ em! I have a video of inlaying a belt beadstrip into leather, and it is the same process for the dog collars.
Subscribed. I like your work. You're very nice. I feel like the only guy giving beading a try..lol it's a good skill though and I like it
Great tutorial!
Thank you!
Will you do a tutorial on the program you use for beading patterns? I’m thinking of ordering it but a bit apprehensive. Thank you for your video’s….. they are so informative and helpful!
Hi Terri! I did one last year, I will link it.
m.ua-cam.com/video/-aAQpvgRqz4/v-deo.html
It was so satisfying watching this! Lol
I was hoping it would be! New to this whole video world and wasn't sure how this series would turn out. Glad you are enjoying it!
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. 😢
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?
Hi! Check out my materials video and it goes into specifics on everything I use and the sizes of each 👍🏻
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.
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.
Love your Beading guidelines. So informative. My 1st project is going to be a Hatband. Do you have any videos specific to this? The Leather ends and some kind of ba King if needed? Thank you in advance.
Hi! Thanks for watching! I do not have a hat and video…yet!
Could you please teach me how to tie the thread? Ive been trying to tie it but it refuses to stay and just comes apart?
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. 🙈
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.
@@ranchwifelife4041 when I go to your etsy link it takes me to affilare shop out of Houston. Is that the correct shop?
This looks so fun to do haha cool stuff!💜💕😁
Thank you 🤗
In awe!
Where do you get the green comb. I’ve tried to find it on my own. Thanks for all you help.
I got mine from Crazy Crow Trading Post. They came with the loom, but I believe you can find them sold separately on their website. If not, shoot them an email. Their customer service is top notch! 👌🏻
It's actually a flea comb cut in half. Most pet stores carry them. They're about a buck a piece.
@@calgalhg oh wow, thanks for the info! I'm in need of new combs and will check this out. Thanks!
Can I ask how it gets put into leather collar ? Is it sewn or glued ?
It's both! I am posting a video this week in collaboration with my leather partner of how to attach a beadstrip to leather. Stay tuned!
Plz can some one tell us where to get the beads tools and the Loom too. I'm from Kenya and we' are making bead work as Samburu Women Groups
Hi Jullieta! If you watch my materials video I talk about everything that I use and have links in the description box of that video. Thanks for watching!
Wow your work its lovely and thanks for helping , I want to ask that which app I can download on my phone to design especially images for the caps ?
Hi! I don't know of an app for phones or ipads. I ran into this issue when my computer got rained on last year and stopped working. I lost all of my patterns and was unable to work for a few weeks until I got a new computer. I actually ended up going super old school and using graph paper for a few belts.
@@ranchwifelife4041 oh okay sorry about that I'll keep on searching and I wanted to ask that have you made video of caps if you have please let me how to search for them I've been looking for them thanks keep up the good work
what is the website you use to lay out the colors?
It is called BeadTool4. I have a whole video on my page about how to use it!
I’ve bought that software and bought delica beads and built a loom. I’ve messed up getting started and had that short needle. I’m glad I get to follow you. Are you using delica beads? The link to those beads are cheaper than what I bought.
Thanks for watching! I use 11/0 delica seed beads. I typically order from Golden Age Beads, but when I first started I ordered the kit from amazon. It was a good starter set!
❤thank you!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Do you do bead work for others? I searched to see if I could find someone to do bead work and I haven’t been lucky.
Yes, I do beadstrips for the public and have a trusted leather partner that finishes all of my pieces. You can find me on Instagram, Facebook, or Etsy if you search for Big Bend Beadwork.
Do you do leather work?
I do not do leatherwork, I have a fabulous leather partner!
What is your Instagram ? Really like your videos - thanks ! What’s the thread again ?
Thank you for watching! My Instagram is Big Bend Beadwork. The thread (and all materials used) are linked in the description box! 😁
What type of thread do you use from Amazon?
I use size D Nymo thread. Amazon has it, but I typically order from Crazy Crow Trading Post. www.crazycrow.com/craft-threads/white-nymo-thread-d-spools
Hi! Do you put glue on the ends of your work?
Hi! I do not. I just thread it back and forth 5 times and tie knots to finish, then my leather partner puts a leather lip over the entire outer row of beads for extra protection.
@@ranchwifelife4041 Thank you!
Also I have had no luck finding your loom.
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?
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. Thanks for watching!
Also, another cool feature about the beadtool that I use is that it tells you the exact number of each color of bead you need after you design it!
You should be a school teacher, you have a lot of patience.
I am! Actually, I’m a school counselor now, but taught elementary and junior high for a while. Patience is a virtue 😁
I’ve been having a horrible time trying to make this loom work for me...can I contact you privately to talk about what’s going wrong? Don’t want to get into a loooong comment on here. Thanks!
Sure, feel free to email me at Mcchilly0510@aol.com and I’ll see if I can help out.
Girlfriend your real an that's perfect!!!!! Luv you just the way you are!!!!!!!!!!! Kim from mi 😍😍😍😍😊
Awww thanks so much for watching and being positive ❤️
