Transcript:

0:02 Welcome, welcome. Hey, I'm feeling I'm feeling a little 80s 90s because I'm

0:08

only wearing one earring. And do you remember back in the day, back in the

0:14

80s and the 90s, we had one earring that would be like long and then we had cuffs

0:21

on our ears and then we would have our studs and then well the other ear which

0:27

mine is completely has nothing was just blank. And so, while it's a fun look,

0:34

and I know that we enjoy being creative and doing really funky things with our fashion, I do think that we will go

0:41

ahead and we will make the second earring together. And I'm going to show

0:46

you that you can make it thinner because you know me, I love the go big or go home. And um there is a way to actually

0:54

only go two beads across. And so this is totally reminding me of that 80s9s look

1:02

because this is what was going on. We were doing [laughter] two we were doing two different earrings

1:10

back then and we were totally owning it. So without further ado, let's go ahead

Getting Started with the Baby Jewel Loom

1:18

and I am using I'm using the baby jewel loom. All right. So that's half of the size of the original jewel loom. Hey,

1:25

Linda. Um, and I'm going to be using the leftovers. So, if you remember, I took

1:33

both September kits, I merged them together, and I made this amazing

1:38

beautifulness. And so, with all the leftover beads, I was like, "Oh, well, I can still make

1:44

something." And I decided to do the earrings. And then this is what I still have left. And I'll do that in the

1:50

overhead for you. um wildfire jewel loom needles. I am using some of the seed

1:56

beads that came in the kit. And um oh,

2:02

and then I just grabbed like ear wires, headpens, jump rings, you

2:09

know, all the little accudes that you need to make an earring. And I'm using the slider closure technique versus the

2:17

old school ribbon clasp. I found that with the ribbon clasp over time

2:24

it was separating from the beads and so I don't really do that anymore. I totally do the slider and I'm going to

2:32

show you how I do that to make it even more secure. So, all right. And Nancy

2:37

says hello from Nebraska. Hello. Hello. Linda is in Costa Rica. Love, love,

2:44

love. And I'm in California. Joan's in Tennessee. So, now that we know where we are, I'm gonna take you down to the

2:52

table [snorts] and we will get started. Um, get everything a little bit adjusted

2:59

here. Oh, the days of having a live set on, you know, QVC, JTV, HSN. [laughter]

3:09

How mama would love that. Joe and Llair, hello from Texas. Woo. Is it still hot

3:15

and humid there? because it kind of feels like Texas hair in California. It's a little crazy. All right, so I'm

3:21

just gonna move things over a hair. But look it look at this is I still have all

3:26

of this available even after Let me take my earring out. Even after I made

3:34

one of the earrings. Okay. And these were the extra glass pieces. This is a check pearl that I put at the bottom

3:41

here. And then of course I have the ear wire that I mentioned, a jump ring, 20

3:46

mm sliders. All right, you need a pair. And you're going to need that times two.

3:52

Okay, so we're going to go ahead and we'll put that to the side. And I've got

3:57

the baby jewel loom. Here we go. Okay. And like I mentioned, I'm using

Warping the Loom Like a Pro

4:03

wildfire. This is a ginormous spool. Um, this is just something that I personally

4:09

bought for the business so that when I'm doing demonstrations, I have a lot. And

4:14

there is oodles. Fi I don't know if that's a three or I think that's 300

4:19

yards. Could be 500, but it's a lot of a lot a lot of. And it's a 006. And this

4:25

is beige. Okay. So, I'm going to go ahead and turn

4:30

baby loom over. And look, you could see I have used the baby loom a lot. And I mean, this is obviously not the only

4:37

baby loom I have. I happen to have many. They're in the shop. Um, okay. So, let's

4:43

find the end of our wildfire. Here we go. And when you're warping your looms, um,

4:51

I always warp from the spool, unless you've bought like a kit because I

4:56

pre-cut it for you. Then you don't have the spool. You just have like three yards or whatever the project calls for.

5:03

Um, looking for my There we go.

5:09

There we go. And so I'm going to I'm going to tie it a couple of times.

5:16

All right. And I'm going to let my energy come down just a a tat because I get real excited. [laughter]

5:23

So, I got to like I got to calm I got to chill my boots, babe. I got to chill my boots. Hi, Hermy. I love my baby loom.

5:30

You know what, y'all? while I'm working on something and I hope to have it dialed in by the first of the year. It's

5:37

going to be pretty fabulous using the baby loom. Okay, so what we're going to do, you saw that I tied onto the back

5:43

here. Hi, Terry. And I come in with my pointer and I've got the wildfire is

5:50

like sandwiched in my hand. And this is my right hand, by the way. And so what

5:56

we're going to do, I'm going to push this back a hair. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to

6:02

lay it down. Now, if you were going to use the entire width, you would come to

6:09

the far side. Come to the far side, my darlings. Um, [laughter] but if you're

6:15

just going to be using like a little bit of the grid, then you could just, you know, go in the middle, you know, kind

6:21

of off center a little bit. Lay the wildfire down into one of the grooves. You could see how it's nestled into the

6:27

groove. Flip your baby over. [laughter]

6:33

What's that saying? Oh, and where did that even come from? Something about the baby and the and the wash or something.

6:40

I don't know. It was weird. Anyh who, okay. So then what I'm going to do is I'm going to skip three groups to

6:45

accommodate the six mm squares. And so is that three? One, two, three. And then

6:53

come back around and come back up and skipping. And I've

7:00

done this so many times. Serious you all. Like I could do it with my eyes closed, but you just take your time. Um,

7:08

and then let me see. One, two, three. Okay. Wh

7:13

Did you see that? There we go. And then all the way down.

7:19

Now I'm going to go three across. And if you were going to make a thinner pair of earrings, um, you would I'm

7:26

sorry. Let me correct myself. I'm going four across because I don't throw the

7:32

baby out with bath water. [laughter] That's what the saying is. I don't know where that came from. We're going to

7:38

have to Google that one. Um, two beads across, three warps. Three beads across, four warps. So, I still need to go one

7:44

more. And that's one, two, three. Okay. And

7:51

then back up. And so now my loom is ready, my warps.

7:58

And I'm just going to wrap around a couple of times and then get my scissors that need to be sharpened. Um I forget

8:06

the uh California [snorts] being so close to the beach, they get a

8:12

little funky sometimes. And then I'm just going to tie. So we're going to I I This is how I tie. Let me get Okay, so I

8:20

take the end of the warp and I just try my best to get under all the warps

8:25

and then I go back through that loop. And honestly, we're just trying to make a knot without losing the grip on our

8:33

warps. So, however you can get there. And then sometimes, like I'll just take

8:38

both of the warps, both of the ends, and then I do that. And if I ever need any

8:45

extra help, like a third hand, I just bring in my flat nose, and they always

8:50

help. Okay. And then I'm gonna trim.

8:58

All righty. So now my baby loom. Look at that. My baby.

9:03

Where she at? Where's she at? Where's my baby at? Come on, baby. I got to get the

9:09

right lighting. Oh well, it's in there. It says baby Juloom. [laughter]

9:15

Mama knows best. Gwen a hello to you, beautiful human. All right, so now what

Weaving the First Row

9:23

we're going to do is All right, and this is really important. Um, I'm going to sprinkle out some 11 O's. These are the

9:29

ones that come in the kit. Um, these come in the blue purple kit September

9:35

and these, uh, come in the more fallike colors. And remember, I if you don't

9:42

remember, I merged the two kits to make a ginormous cuff. So, I'm kind of I'm

9:48

I'm not kind of I'm actually working with all the leftovers. All right. So, what we're going to do

9:55

and again tying off um getting started, you know, Danielle has a technique. I

10:02

typically just do a quick little knot. Um, other people, you know, they might

10:08

do like a salvage back and forth. You're just anchoring your weft thread to the warps. And

10:16

however you get there, um, that that's on you. Whatever you feel good, um, you

10:23

know, I'm not coming after you. [laughter] So, this is the left side. My needle is

10:28

in the left hand right now. This is my right hand. Oh, my lands my nails are dirty. Don't judge. I'm going to take

10:35

the needle. I'm coming under coming under the warps and I'm transferring that needle and thread into my right

10:41

hand. And just give me a hot minute here. Give me a hot minute.

10:49

Okay.

10:54

Okay. So, here we go. Here we go. Okay. So, I'm going to pick up a 12. So, four

11:03

11 O's will fit into each one of these grooves. You might want to write that down. Four 11 O's will fit into grooves

11:11

into um warp threads into warp spaces that are accommodating a 6 mm bead

11:19

whether it be a square, a pyramid, a round. Um it's four 11 O's.

11:25

All right. So, what did I just do? 4 6 7 8

11:35

9 10 11 12. All right. So, I'm going to let

11:43

those seed beads drop and then I'm going to I want to get this

11:49

piece centered.

11:56

Sometimes getting those little guys into the little uh warp alleys can be a challenge, but today they're being kind.

12:03

I'm going to um center. So, for me, let's see. What do I have? What letter do I have? It looks like

12:11

looks like I'm on the Y of the baby. All right. And then I'm going to take the needle

12:18

and I'm going back through the beads,

12:23

all of them. Make sure you go back through all of them. Make sure that needle is gliding on top of the warps.

12:29

If you are not on top of the warps, your beads are going to fall off and then you

12:34

have to um do it all over again. Which, believe it or not, happened to me

12:42

a few times yesterday and I was just cracking up. I was like, Jules, what are you doing, babe? Okay. So, we're going

12:49

to pull. And we want to pull just nice and taut, you know, just so that they get into the

12:55

um into the warps there. All right. And then

Adding Squares and Pyramids

13:02

we're going to come under and we're going to pick up our first row of

13:09

squares. So, let me pour the squares in. And I've also got the leftover pearls in

13:15

the pyramids. I mean, this is like a lot. like you probably could have made a thin um bracelet. And I'm not going to

13:22

try to copy mine. I'm going to do it a little bit different. So, let's start with a copper. And um remember, if you

13:33

want the pyramid to be facing up to the to the ceiling or you want the color

13:39

because like this bead is uh like an orange on one side and then it's a purple on another side. And so I want

13:47

I want the purple to be face up. So I need to come take my needle and come to

13:53

the side top left hole. All right. And

13:58

then what else do I got? Let's get one of the blue guys. And there we go. I got them all on.

14:09

And uhoh. What did mama do? Ah.

14:14

So, I'm working with about a yard uh plus a pinch [laughter]

14:20

of wildfire. So, just remember when you have that much, just go slow. Don't try

14:25

to go to the races and win cuz you're just going to get frustrated. So, now

14:31

I'm going to pop these up into and in between the warp threads.

14:39

Okay. And I'm going to go back through the top hole. And again, my needle my needle

14:47

should be gliding on top of the warps.

14:54

And I'm going to pull all the way.

14:59

All right. And so that's the first hole on the two-hole bead. And now what I'm going to do, this is this is I don't

15:07

think I've shown this before because yesterday it dawned on me that this was

15:13

part of the problem of why sometimes the connection between the slider and

15:20

the first row of beads separates. Okay. So, um, what I'm doing

15:28

is I'm going to go back through the top row here of all these seed beads

15:36

because that top row is not connected. It needs to connect to all those squares

15:41

so that they don't separate. Okay. So, I'm just securing

15:47

and I'm going slow. I'm not being impatient. And now I'm gonna connect and

15:53

go back through. And let me just make sure because it's

15:58

awfully tight. Okay, it looks like I'm through. Okay, so

16:05

I'm going to pull. And now I'm back to where I was. And did you see that? Did you see how the kissing between that row

16:12

of 11 O's and that 6 mm square happened? So now I feel better about the whole

16:19

slider situation. Okay. So I'm going to push the two holes down so that the hole

16:25

is underneath. And I'm going to bring this up to the camera. It's they're underneath the

16:31

warps. And I'm going through the bottom hole. I'll do a little wiggle wiggle to make sure. And then I'm going to come in

16:40

and show you. I have to hold steady so that the camera enjoys the shot. And you

16:45

can see that. And so we're going to pull the

16:52

needle. The needle's coming out on my right side.

16:57

And I pull. And then I'm going to pop

17:03

I pop the squares back up. Go back through the bottom hole again. Making

17:08

sure that my needle is on top of the warps and I can see the silver part of

17:14

the needle and so I know that all is well. Okay, perfect. So

17:19

there's our first row and I will So squares are funny.

17:26

[laughter] squares are funny and the colors are funny

17:32

because you can tell um that the blue and the copper are not exactly the same

17:39

square shape as this two-toned purple orange gold one. This one is slightly

17:46

smaller. I don't know why, but it is what it is. And I think I've talked about before

17:52

like the peacock ones. Oi, they're so chunky. Um, I just go with it. I don't

17:58

try to like get overwhelmed by it or frustrated or, you know, like bummed out. I think it's fine. So, again, I'm

18:05

going to pick up a pyramid. And I want the pyramid, the pokey part to be up

18:10

towards the ceiling. So, I'm going to come over here with my needle. And it's going into

18:17

it's going into the top hole on the left side. All right. So,

18:26

we'll pick that one up. And then let's go ahead and pick up another pyramid. Again, top hole on the left side. And

18:33

we'll pick up another purple. And do the same thing. And so this way, all of your

18:38

py pyramids will be faced up, which is what we want.

18:44

And that worked. So that's that's a good thing. All right. And we're going to take the needle. We're going to go back

18:50

through again. Just making sure the needle is on top of the warps. and pulling.

18:58

And then we'll push the bead down so that again

19:04

the bottom hole is under the warps. And then I take the needle from the left side and I'm going through the bottom

19:11

holes. And then again I'll do a little wiggle wiggle.

19:20

And I'm always adjusting as I go. And you've probably seen me do that even when I'm doing my bracelets. Right side

19:27

of the loom, bottom hole, going back through it, making sure I'm on top of

19:32

the warps and all the way out.

19:38

And I'm kind of just doing a pattern of like, you know, [clears throat] like a a

19:44

quilt, right? Like just um a random a random quilt. Uh, let's see. Like

19:52

patchwork. So, this time, let's bring in

19:57

let's bring in one of the purple guys. Well, then if I do it that way, the blue is going to be up. That's okay. That's

20:03

pretty. And let's do let's do that guy. And then let's do the reverse of that

20:10

guy. So, going to turn him over and go from up to the left

20:16

top hole. That's really pretty. And again, these are just my leftover

20:22

beads from making making mixing the two kits, which there is quantity available

20:28

in the shop. And when you do buy

20:33

both of them, um you get 10% off of um

20:40

the one kit. So, I still have that in place. We did that last week and I'm still doing it. I haven't um I haven't

20:47

stopped that. Okay, wait. What did I just do?

20:52

How did I get [laughter] Okay, got ahead of myself. Okay, so push

20:58

them down. [laughter] I did go back through that, right? I must have. There's no way I'd be on the

21:04

left side. That's so funny. Okay, now I'm going through the bottoms again. And these three beads are very um very

21:11

similar in shape. You know, they're very um consistent.

21:19

And and it's not that the copper and the blue isn't. It's just that the copper and blue seem to be a little bit more big.

21:26

Okay. And then we're going to come through here going through the bottom hole. And again, gliding on top of the

21:32

warps and scooching up. I'm always checking.

21:37

I'm just always checking to make sure that everything is as straight as possible. And then I'm going to bring in

21:43

some pearls. Love, love, love the check glass pearls. They are just so stinking pretty. So,

21:49

we're going to do a teal and then we'll do a gold.

21:55

Hello. And we'll do another teal.

22:07

And let that fall. Pop those up. And we're going to go back

22:13

through that single hole. And again, you know, it's not wanting to

22:20

go straight across, so I'm not going to force it. I'm just going to go in at an angle. And then I will adjust.

22:31

Okay. And then I'm pulling. And I'm always making sure that I don't have any excess thread because like I've

22:37

mentioned before, it's such a bummer if you didn't pull tight enough and then you got like a little ribbon sticking

22:42

out there. So always try to pull tight enough to make sure that everything is nice and even. And then we're going to

22:50

come again and let's see. This time we'll do the reverse of the pyramids.

22:56

So, we'll do a lavender and then a pyramid

23:04

and a lavender. And in case you're new here, that is Marlin Brando, my Frenchie, in the

23:10

background kind of passively snoring. It's not as obnoxious as normal,

23:17

but he is he is back there doing his thing.

23:23

And in case you're really really new, um I am Juliana, the inventor of the Jewel

23:28

Loom and the Baby Loom. And gosh, they've been out. Well, the

23:34

original Jewel Loom's been on the market for at least 13 years now. I think it's

23:39

been quite a long time. And then back through that bottom hole.

23:47

All righty. And just scooching it up. And how many? Let's see. I think this is going to be my last row. 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2

23:56

3 4 5. So, this will be my last row. And I'm going to end with um some two whole

24:03

squares. So, let's pick up a blue. And let's pick up an orange.

24:10

And again, we're just kind of randomly picking up. You can certainly lay out a

24:16

pattern if you want to. And then we're going to let these fall

24:27

and back through the top row. And pull that nice and taut. And scooch

24:34

those down. Come under.

24:41

And we're going through the bottom hole. And a little wiggle wiggle to make sure the needle is in.

24:50

Every time I just about bead myself right off of the table. And then I'm going back through. And now the final

24:57

row will be another row of 11 O's. Um you could use 8 O's. They will fit in

25:03

the sliders. And 8 O's are going to be three. So you would do nine. And I'm

25:09

just going to scooch this pile. Look at I still have so many leftovers.

25:16

That's again both kits merged. Both September kits, original September jewel

25:21

box and then the um second color wave.

25:26

So, let me just get those out of our way and get back into the frame here.

25:35

And coming under. And then I'm going to pick up 12 11 O seed beads. Okay. Hello, Zach. Nice

25:44

to see you. So, one, two, three,

25:49

four, five. Whoops. Five. Six. Come on,

25:54

baby. Um, 6

26:00

7 8 9 10

26:07

11 12. And then I'm going to pop those up.

26:15

And again, we want four in each

26:21

warped section. And so that looks great.

26:26

And I'm gonna make sure that I am on top of the warps because it's such a bummer

26:33

with the little guys if I'm not. Okay. Yeah, if you're not on top of the warps, then your beads will fall. So,

26:41

okay. So, yay. [laughter] Now, um, part of the reason why I cut so

Reinforcing Your Work for Durability

26:47

much wildfire to start with is that I want to go back through this entire

26:54

earring as much as possible. Again, I have just I don't know if it's with my long hair. I don't know. Um, I

27:02

have just found that the earrings that I weave definitely need to be

27:09

reinforced. So, the way that I'm doing that is I'm going back through

27:16

all of the rows. Okay.

27:23

And then I'm just going to check. Yeah. See, I want to make sure both ends are are

27:30

connected. So, I'm going to go back through the seed beads. Again, I don't think that you can ever over

27:37

reinforce the row of seed beads regardless of whether it's 8 O's or 11 O's and that

27:44

first row of squares. Okay. [snorts] So, now I'm just going to weave back

27:50

through.

27:58

And this just really um makes your earring even more secure. And if you're making

28:06

these and selling them, you know, you always want your pieces to be as secure

28:11

as possible. I mean, we can't always know what our clients are going to do once they buy the pieces. They might be

28:18

a little rough. Um, but we can do our part and

28:25

make the piece as secure as possible. Um, so yeah. So, I'm just taking the

28:31

extra wildfire and I'm going back through every single row.

28:40

And again, I just really feel from all the times I have made these earrings

28:45

that this is where I've gotten to um with my suggestions,

28:51

my tips that this is the way that we need to do these.

29:09

Okay. Okay. And even though even though I'm going to do it again, like I said, I don't think you if you

29:15

can still get that needle in there, then then go for it. Now, I'm going to turn the uh baby loom around and I'm going to

29:22

come up through, okay, through that bottom hole. And then

29:28

I'm going to sneak out. And if you have a different type of way that you like to end your thread, then

29:35

you can do that. Um, this is just how I do it. Easy peasy pumpkin squeezy. I do a

29:43

little knot. And I'm going to go ahead and do two little knots.

29:48

And then I just hide them in the back of the project at the end here. I take the

29:54

needle, I push it down to the back. All right. And that um

30:02

and that is that. So, let's go ahead and I'm going to flip this over now.

30:09

And I do, just like when I'm using the big loom, I like to hold the beads as best as possible just because they are

30:16

glass. Um, the baby loom, by the way, is always in the warped position. There's

30:22

no rod, so you don't have to worry about it bouncing. Whoops. [laughter]

30:27

Just have to worry about me stomping on my own beads here. Let me get rid of these guys. or let me put them back into their

30:34

homes. That was so rude. Okay. [laughter] All right. So, I'm going to cut.

30:43

And then we have our earring. Okay. And then I'm going to go ahead. I

30:50

want to get rid of the Let's see where we at.

30:56

I'm going go ahead and very carefully trim.

31:02

Okay. And so I'll put the needle over to the side. And then I'm going to come over here and I'm just going to tie

31:09

these two warps together. So remember, all these knots and that row of seed

31:14

beads are going to be hidden by the slide connector.

31:21

Um I do have slide connectors in the shop.

31:26

And so you'll need 20 uh m if you're doing three across and

31:35

you'll need 13 if you're only going to do two 6 mm beads across.

31:44

Okay. And then I'm going to come over here

31:52

and do the same thing.

32:02

That's a great question. Uh, which loom do you use the most, the jewel loom or

32:08

the baby loom?

32:15

I mean, I definitely find myself using the original Jewel Loom the most just

32:21

because um but I think that's why I've gotten so

32:26

inspired lately to look at the possibilities with the baby loom.

32:33

And so I'm really excited about that. Okay, so these are all cut

32:38

and let me see what's going on. I'm going to go ahead and trim this guy very

32:44

carefully. Again, that knot's going to be covered in the slider.

32:51

You can if it makes your world uh feel better. [laughter]

32:57

You could certainly put like a little bit of hypo cement um or you know white glue

33:04

on top of these little knots. You don't it's not a deal breaker, but just we're

33:10

cutting really close to the knot. So, whatever makes you feel

33:15

safe with your knot cutting

33:22

original jewel loom, unless Jules does a tutorial. Okay.

33:27

Whoops. Where did that piece come from? Oh, see, my scissors really need to be sharpened.

33:34

I need to take all of my scissors to one of those places, I guess.

33:46

So, I'm just cutting um above the knot. Okay. So, now

Attaching the Slider Clasp

33:52

now now we're going to bring in our slider.

34:00

And the slider has one end that has like this cute little cute little cap. And

34:05

what you can do is take your flats and I just like to open

34:11

it up a little bit more. And what I will say sometimes when I do

34:17

my 80 O's, let me bring this up a little more. Sometimes when I do my 80s, I feel like I have to

34:24

put like say my um my chain or just

34:30

something that's most pointy both noses into that and then like expand it a

34:36

little bit. With 11 O's, I haven't had a problem. So, what I do is I grab with my

34:42

flats. You see the little hook right there? grab with my flats and then I

34:48

just walk it in. Okay. And then it just slides over the

34:54

eight over the 11 O's. Okay. So, that's good news. And then I

35:00

lay it down and I take my flats again and I help to close.

35:07

Sometimes they're very stubborn, so you just be careful. Don't like smush your

35:12

finger. But there's the first one. And then

35:18

let's get this one. Oh, hello. Where's your opening?

35:23

Excuse me. These are not the ones that are in the shop. These are just for my

35:28

personal stash. Let me see if I can't get in there. If not, I'll have to go. Let me go um let me grab another one

35:38

from the personal stash box. You know what's funny is I think I could

35:43

see beads in that one. I wonder if that fell off [laughter] from something. Okay, [clears throat] so

35:49

here we go again. Let's put that one to the side. Let's open that a little more.

35:54

Grab it um with the flats. I like to go in the same direction so that the ends

36:01

match up. I don't think it's a deal breaker, but you know. Whoops. Come on

36:07

now. All right. So, are you Oh, you're kind of you're kind of grumpy in there. So, let

36:13

me see if these will work. I'm just kind of like bring like I said bring in some

36:18

pliers and then try to smush them open a little bit

36:24

and then go back [snorts] and

36:34

No, there we go. Okay. So, if that ever happens and it won't slide over, it's

36:41

probably because the opening is ever so too tight. So just very carefully take

36:46

some, you know, long pointy pliers and put that in there and just stretch it

36:52

open. But be very careful. So again, taking the flats, holding it down,

36:59

smooshing. Whoops. Okay.

37:04

Awesome sauce. All right. So there's that part. And now what we want to do is we want to add our little dangly dupe.

37:13

Um, again, the these were left over from the kits.

37:19

And so I just took one of the rondell's, the large one, the smaller one, and I did decide to use some pearls cuz I just

37:26

think how stinking cute. I'm going to, and no judging, this is not my strength

37:33

doing all these loops and yada yada. I've told you that before. I'm going to

37:39

tell you again. [laughter] And you say, "Get a looper. Get a looper. I know. I know. All right. So,

37:45

when I'm cutting, um, I like to hold both pieces so that the wire doesn't go back up into my eye

37:53

or somebody else's. Um, and then I'm just going to bring in the rounds. Pretend that I know what I'm

37:59

doing here. It's not that I don't know what I'm doing, but you know.

38:06

All right. I did good. [laughter] All right. Bring in my ear wire. Bring

38:13

in my two jumps. I still had, believe it or not, I still had one more tiny little um

38:21

rondelle. So, I'm going to get these guys out of the [clears throat] way.

38:27

I got like lots of bits and pieces. Going to move everybody. All right.

38:33

Move those. Get back into the camera. This is my finished one. I'm just going to move out of the way really quick.

38:39

So, what I want to do is I have my I don't need my rounds anymore, but I'm going to bring in my chain.

38:45

And I think Yeah, I think this is Is that the guy I want? Let me see. Yeah,

38:53

I'm really funny about jump rings, too. I will use the biggest jump ring known to mankind.

39:01

And this is not big. I have big ones. [laughter] I have much bigger jump rings. Okay.

39:07

Okay. So, I'm going to go through that um little hook there. Put the ear wire on. And again, if you

39:14

do this differently, knock your socks off. [laughter] Do it your way. I'm just doing it mine.

39:22

I like to go back and forth and hear that little click. [snorts]

39:27

So, there's the ear wire. And then we're going to do the same thing on the bottom here.

39:33

I've got the flats and opening that up. Putting it into the

39:42

hole. And then boom.

39:47

And then I'm going to kiss these two together. Again, I like to hear the little click.

39:55

Um, this might this one might have gotten a little off center.

40:10

Okay, awesome sauce. And there we have it. We have our second earring.

40:19

And I just want to lay out everything really quick here. So, we have our pair

40:25

of earrings. We have this was the second color wave. This was the bracelet um using

40:33

the second color way. This was the original color way that we did with the jewel box. This was the September box.

40:43

And then if you recall, and I'll make sure that all of this is um attached to the end of the video, this is what I did

40:50

when I took both kits. I mean, I wore this out dancing and even

40:57

the band members, one of them was like, "Is that the bracelet that you just made?" And I was like almost embarrassed

41:03

because I was like, "Oh my god, you know that I'm making [laughter] you know that I made this." But look at

41:09

how gorge, my Ariat boots, and a really pretty off

41:16

the shoulder black shirt. But I'm just so stoked about this. And

41:23

then every the um I still there's still some of these left and I had said that I

41:29

would put these into the kit. This long bead right here um as long as I had

41:34

some. I can't remember how many I have left of those. But I did end up using

41:40

a long kind of like a surfboard. It looks like a surfboard. And I went with black. Originally, I think I had showed

41:46

you in the previous video that I might go with a brown like neutral,

41:53

but I just I felt like the gold it's kind of like a I don't know. It's like a

41:59

copper gold in indent here design. I felt like it matched the regalness of

42:05

the overall bracelet. And so I that's why I did that. But isn't it to die for?

42:11

I mean, come on now. So again, both kits, earrings, and I still have leftover

42:19

beads from both kits. Leftover seed beads. I cannot get enough. I want to do

42:24

something. I wonder Oh, you know what? Maybe I could just do an 11 o seedbead ring. How

42:31

pretty would that be? Because really, if you're wearing something as gorgeous as this, do you really want to I don't

42:37

know. Like I would, but maybe I should just do something calm. [laughter]

42:43

You know, I could always sew Oh, I could sew this in. Yes, I could sew the vintage check glass

42:52

bead button into the base

42:58

of this gorgeous seedbead palette. And that could be a ring. That would be so

43:04

amazing. Okay, ideas, ideas. And still a ton of these.

43:11

So, yeah, still lots of beads left over for other other projects. All right, I'm

Final Reveal and Styling Ideas

43:18

going to come up. I'm going to come up and put my earrings on. So, let me go to

43:25

the forward facing camera.

43:33

And I got Oh, I got to put my earrings on. I even kind of went with a

43:39

Do you remember? cuz I remember the the 80s 90s and I used to Do you remember

43:45

how we would slick one side back and then like bring all of our hair over

43:51

to here? Did any of you do that? I know I did that. Okay. So, I'm going

43:58

to put one of the earrings on.

44:05

And again, you can make these thinner. I'll show you the thinner version of a different uh style or a different color

44:11

palette. Your daughters did.

44:18

Oh my gosh. I mean, come on now. Let me bring you closer. Let me bring you into my world.

44:25

Let me bring you into my world. I got hair stuck everywhere.

44:31

I just can't even. They're They're really pretty, guys.

44:37

They're really pretty. A Caroline, I'm so happy to hear that,

44:43

honey. I'll be back on at 6 o'clock tonight over on my my whatnot. But this

44:49

is these are thinner, right? So, like you go two across.

44:54

You go two across. And there's nothing wrong with that. I like that, too.

45:00

But, uh, that would be a 13 mm by by the way. 13 ml would go

45:06

across two 6 mm beads and a 20

45:12

would be um what I have on.

45:17

So [laughter]

45:24

I don't know. September's got me all like all like wooing.

45:30

I just got a box for October. gemstones. [snorts]

45:38

So, I'm excited to sit with them and and dream up October for you. But

45:46

September, it's like the song, Do you remember

45:54

the thin versions

46:00

and wear these on the other ones? on the other arm. They're so substantial, by the way. It's very

46:07

substantial. Okay. Um I'll make sure to put

46:15

tag the end videos for the cuff. All right. Can't get enough of that

46:21

cuff. Love the closure. Love that I decided to go with the black. I think it finished

46:27

it off really, really well. And yeah.

46:33

Okay. Um, I feel like there was something else I was going to tell you all. So, we are into October for the

46:40

jewel box. Uh, literally did not have any openings for

46:46

the jewel box until November 1st. Put a couple extra kits in there for October.

46:53

I don't know how. I'll figure it out. [snorts] But um I

47:00

just something told me to go I had I was getting like let me know when it's open again. Let me know when it's open again.

47:05

I'm like oh my heck just to open it up and roll the dice. We'll figure it out.

47:11

I'll just buy more stuff. Uh so that that's that story. I don't know what we're doing. I just bought the products

47:18

and I have I visuals. I have visuals. Um it'll be pretty. It's

47:25

always pretty. And And I'm excited. I'm excited. You guys,

47:32

which month is it? It's I think it's going to be November. Hold on. Wait.

47:38

Yeah. So, in November, we're going to be working with

47:44

warping with wire. And so, I got the Beetleon color craft in the rose gold.

47:52

So, everyone's going to get a spool of this

47:58

and we're going to be warping with wire. We're going to be making chain with those Hawaiian flowers

48:05

and we're going to be beading a floral floral

48:10

pattern on a really cool necklace. I'm super stoked about that. I'm excited for

48:17

what's coming up. I'm excited to be designing and inspiring you. Okay. Caroline says,

48:24

"I usually wear white tops. I just bought a black top to wear my colorful." Oh, okay. And that's so funny because I

48:31

do love wearing white. I do. Um, Linda says, "So, I need two of each kit to

48:37

make to make you need Oh, you need two of

48:43

each kit to make all the bracelets and earrings."

48:48

Okay, [snorts] let me do math, Linda. So this was this itself

48:53

took up the majority of both of those kits. And then this and this and a pair

48:59

of earrings. Two of each of the September kits. Yes.

49:06

Yeah. To be on the safe side. And you'll probably have extra. You'll definitely have extra seed beads. And what I'm

49:12

hoping to do is make make a ring and be simple. Be really

49:18

simple. But yeah, that's what you would need. I did get your email. I love you. I hope
