4:22
all right we'll switch over to trish here oh yes melanie it is nice it's yeah rain
4:29
over snow i'll take definitely just dismiss definitely
4:35
oops not what i meant to do sorry back to you wait a minute there you are
4:41
okay guys so you could see in the photo for our i think you would have at least seen it
4:47
for the um for the listing of the the live tonight that those pink earrings that i made
4:53
those were my inspiration for this project these are very close too though to the ones that i made with slight
5:00
variations so i'm going to show you this is actually going to be the one that we're
5:05
making tonight and it has austrian crystal seed beads
5:13
fire polish and that's about it you're going to need a few head pins your ribbon crimps and then whatever kind of
5:20
hook you want for the top guys but and of course your hemp and wildfire
5:25
but yeah that's what we're going to be making tonight and i figured this was super fun
5:30
spring colors so i don't know about you guys but i am into spring right now i'm ready even
5:37
though it doesn't quite feel like spring it's still getting there we've had a ton of rain so
5:44
but what we're gonna do first guys i'm just gonna leave this here so you can keep an eye on it as we're
5:50
um working i'm going to take the 0.5 hemp and i'm going to do
5:56
i'm going to do this project on my baby loom because then there's less waste when you're just making an earring or
6:02
two so i'm going to put my ham around turn this over put my hemp around the knob
6:07
that's on the back and i'm going to go around twice and then i'm going to tie two knots
6:14
now we could do this project on the original or the wisdom warrior isn't
6:20
that correct absolutely the only reason i'm doing it on the baby loom is because there's less waste and i've already made
6:26
one so i'll just be making one you could certainly do on your original which this one i did on
6:32
my original and then i just made some others to not waste the the beautiful turquoise hemp it is beautiful i love it
6:40
and that's just your ring too i didn't even think of that but yeah oh
6:45
i thought you did that on purpose look at that i coordinate and don't even know it so i tied that on there twice
6:52
guys and i'm gonna bring it up over the top and put it into a notch here
6:58
this is our basic warping which we have tons of videos on but i'm just gonna eyeball it here and put it in on this
7:04
side and then i'm gonna grab the other knob and come back around
7:10
the top and i'm gonna leave four spaces so let's see here one two three four
7:18
my eyes kind of cross sometimes when i'm counting these uh spaces
7:24
and just so you guys know we will be using trish's affiliate affiliate link
7:29
tonight so if you do purchase anything if you could use her link that is truly a blessing uh to us
7:36
um so [Music] and also if you sign up for the jewel
7:42
loom newsletter uh john mentioned you get 15 off your first order and you get
7:48
a free pattern and uh somebody used my affiliate link last week if that was you let me know i will
7:56
send you your free pattern and the same thing for trish tonight we will send you a
8:01
free pattern if you use her affiliate and we can thank amber for that beautiful egg pattern for easter so i'm
8:08
just going to grab that knob we got the one space wide here and you can see we have three channels so we're gonna need
8:15
four threads so however many channels that you want you're gonna have to have one extra thread for okay
8:23
so we're gonna go again up over the top
8:28
go four make sure we counted right one two three four
8:33
there we go i'm old so it takes some time
8:39
to count these little knobs sometimes they are it is hard to see yeah or it is
8:45
yeah it's easier when on this end because i can take my string and go oh yeah you
8:51
know and just go you know one two three four and i say it's easy and i
8:56
bounce around well it's that tension you're holding is yeah it is it is all right so there's
9:02
our four so we have our looks good three in there and then we're
9:09
going to go around the knob one more time
9:14
tom i'm so or tam oh maybe that says tambie oh i'm sorry
9:20
i said because when i first glanced at it i thought that too but then i saw the a
9:28
yeah but anyways i'm so glad you like the whole schedule um
9:33
yeah i'm uh that you can know what's going on this month and then uh fran says she's in the
9:40
caribbean and weather is sunny as usual for her
9:48
oh good job oh no i was gonna tie it off and i'm like oh no let me ruin that no
9:56
one two three four okay guys so we're gonna do our four here
10:01
and then we're gonna tie off i'm just going to turn this over in the back and i'm going to go around this
10:07
knob twice and then i'm going to cut my and i'm holding this the thread to keep my
10:12
tension and i'm going to cut this this hemp and
10:18
then i'm going to tie these two cords together and make two more knots
10:25
and this is when my hands need to cooperate
10:32
there we go and it's not as hard as sometimes i make it look good
10:37
because my um the agility with my hands suffers a little bit but do you know what i'm
10:43
thinking what are you thinking i think i made that too wide uh oh
10:49
as i'm looking at my earring i think it's three and not four oh no
10:55
hey you know honest mistake you know i can tell you what i do guys with my other loom is i kind of and this is a
11:02
good learning experience i don't know if anyone else does this but i'll push it into my belly a little
11:07
bit and nudge my do you do that ambrose i've totally done
11:12
that okay you can't really you can't do that on the wisdom warrior but definitely on the uh the baby and the
11:20
original you can one two three i'm sorry if you guys did your loom and
11:27
hey we can only learn if we make mistakes right that's right
11:32
uh jonas folks is uh for some reason youtube does not like the length of the
11:38
baby loom link so she is working on posting that for you guys just so you know
11:46
okay now the top's right let's just fix the bottom let's get the bottom right two guys three across guys i do
11:53
apologize nothing's worse when you're working and somebody's like oh nope
11:58
[Laughter] yes melanie i'm glad you got those ribbon clips ah i can't even speak ribbon crimps too
12:07
as well and i know you can't really see this guys because i have to kind of hold it to my chest but that's that's all i'm
12:13
doing i'm just giving it a little bit of slack and i'm just scooching my strings around
12:19
okay
12:24
do you you have an extra
12:32
totally better
12:38
then of course that one moved there we go one two and three
12:44
all right so we have three and three this one's kind of deciding to move
12:50
there we go now once we got through that painful process um
12:57
it's not usually painful i make it painful you're doing fine let's just be clear on that thank you um
13:05
so we have our loom ready to go three spaces four threads
13:10
okay and i'm just gonna cut these are the gorgeous fire polish we're using oh
13:15
i know can you even stand it so pretty that was that is in the shop
13:21
folks and that's what we used when we uh did our uh kiss me i'm irish so if you
13:26
got the kiss me on irish kit you probably have something left in there maybe you have enough leftovers to do it
13:32
you know we'll just have to you'd have to check oh yeah uh sandy great question so
13:40
uh while trish is getting her beads all set up here um she asked my metal bar and on
13:47
original lube wants to slip out any ideas how to remedy this uh and she says bend the ends a little
13:54
yes that would be right that would be correct sandy just a little it probably just and it might only you might if it's
14:01
only one side you might not need to uh bend both sides so
14:08
you might just bend a little bit on one side and you should be good
14:13
okay guys so i'm going to be using a variety of beads here i do apologize for
14:18
my dog barking in the background unfortunately this house that's just par for the course but i'm going to be using
14:24
some size 11's um this color is transparent remo
14:29
rainbow siam ruby and then i'm going to be using
14:35
uh the transparent rainbow teal i guess that's kind of blurry isn't it
14:41
it's like in your bowl there you go there we go okay
14:47
and we were able to see that one but okay okay and then this is the transparent
14:52
rainbow um siam in the 8-0 as well we have our
14:58
fire polish and then of course we have some head pins
15:03
and the ribbon crimps i know you can't see that guys
15:08
down here that would help and that's okay and then your crystals and a couple jump
15:14
rings okay and amber could you just um go back up on the screen there for a minute while i
15:20
take care of the barking issue here yeah sure no problem
15:27
hi becky and you are welcome sandy i'm glad that worked out for you uh if you are just
15:34
joining us trish is making earrings on the baby loom but you can also make them
15:39
on the original or the small wisdom warrior and we are using a fire polish green
15:46
that we also use for the kiss me i'm irish bracelet cuff uh we have
15:53
some seed beads she was just showing us and i don't remember the colors but they are in the description
16:00
and um [Music] some other crystals that she's going to
16:05
show you and she uses really beautiful blue hemp that was uh really pretty but she
16:11
stepped away for a moment because her husband's not home from work yet and the dogs were
16:17
calling her so um yeah
16:22
okay we are there she is mixed anyway guys so anyway i was telling you what we need
16:29
just our siam ruby edo's 11 0's and then the teal 11 0's this is 5 millimeter fire polish so i
16:37
have a variety of crystals here these are four millimeter and then two jump rings so to get started of
16:44
course we're gonna take our wildfire i'm just gonna use white and you're probably just going to need
16:50
about a wingspan for this guys because this is going to be a small
16:55
project you may not even need all that but let's just be
17:02
a little bit cautious so i'm just going to take my wildfire
17:09
and i'm just going to crimp the end of it there with my pliers just to kind of flatten it out
17:16
and then i'm going to thread on my jewelry needle i can pick it up here
17:21
we'll be in business there we go and i'm just going to thread on
17:28
the needle there okay uh great question joan so we're
17:35
using um the rainbow siam ruby
17:42
and then uh what was the other this is the um transparent rainbow tail
17:50
okay so i think i have i have all of them except the teal listed in the description because that i threw in
17:55
later to put onto the the dangles you don't have to use that i mean that's all i'm using it for is the dangles so you
18:02
could just put your use your ruby as well if you wanted to okay i'm just going to
18:07
tie a little knot i'm going to leave myself some space because we're going to need to tie some knots on when we're done and i'm going to keep it towards
18:14
the middle guys because i know i'm just doing one one thing on here okay
18:20
and joan two of them uh were 11 0's and the other siam was an 8-0 so the ada
18:28
would be the bigger one um sandy has a question okay anyone ever
18:35
use crystal bicones on a loom um that's actually what i'm using today
18:41
crystal bicones they're four millimeters yes so yes definitely
18:47
yeah so sandy i've never had trouble with them cutting the warps so great question yes
18:54
and my you'll see here my my warps the word
19:00
it seems a little loose and that's because i did have to go in and adjust it but it'll still be okay it's still
19:07
pretty good all right so i'll lay this back here so we can see the pattern so what i do guys i start
19:14
out with some seed beads now this is a fairly long earring let me measure it for you
19:20
hi vicki so glad you can join us it's two inches without the hook at the top
19:25
and that's why i put this one on because that's good with a little bit of dangle for me i like longer earrings but you
19:32
have to account for your ribbon crimps and then if you're gonna put a fishhook it'll be a little bit longer so
19:38
you can omit the seed beads if you want to and just start with the fire polish at the bottom okay so i'm
19:45
just gonna pour out some of my seed beads here this is a very simple pattern guys and once you learn it you can put in any
19:52
seed beads any fire polish any bicones just have a really pretty piece
19:58
so i'm going to pick up nine seat of the 110 siams that's three
20:05
four five six seven
20:11
eight and nine okay
20:17
and there's going to be three in each section that's how we're going to divide those up which makes sense i guess
20:22
oh and we do have one so guys sometimes your
20:28
um with your jewel loom needles certain 11's you may struggle with them here or there
20:35
like this one here for some reason their utohos are usually very consistent but
20:41
sometimes they the way that they're cut or drilled out isn't exactly so either
20:47
there's two ways you can remedy this you can just either like i do i crack the bead off and then just put one on the
20:54
end or you can just pull them off or you can use a seed beading needle
21:00
to do it and as as the width of this you could probably get away with a seed beading needle okay
21:07
so i'm going to just do what i do and go over here and crack this off don't tell nobody don't tell jewels i to
21:14
practice beige yes vicky nine um becky yes we love the pink erin that
21:23
trish did too but due to what beads are available right at that
21:28
moment right at the moment um you know how supplies can be sometimes
21:34
we had to change courses and do different color pattern but i think to
21:40
me this this siam is pink it's pink to me anyway
21:46
and it's coming across a little red in the video but yeah i would agree what is
21:51
more of a pinky color i know it looks red yeah but it is it's more of a pinky
21:57
red um so anyway i just went and put my seed bead needle on guys because we're gonna
22:02
keep this simple but if you're having luck good so i'm gonna put these back on
22:08
it seems like everything that can is tonight but that's okay
22:14
oh thanks for sharing joan uh you use a short big-eyed needle uh when our project is not wide and uh
22:22
she hasn't had any problems with the lebanos that's a good good good as well yep yeah
22:28
i do find occasionally with the 11 0's and the jewel loom needle that they don't all
22:33
go yeah yes vicky it's more of like a salmon pink yes yes
22:40
that's my girl i mean are you kidding me with this right now look at this oh honey
22:48
some nice things go so smoothly and then others i'm like excuse me
22:53
excuse me oh for pizza i do know what i'm doing guys i promise
23:00
oh we love you trish no worries no worries hey i'm human and that's what
23:06
we try to show on this show that you know we make mistakes we're human
23:12
this is life this is life so and you will get little knots in your cording here and there and
23:19
you have to deal with it and you can see what i did i just took the needle off and i'm just pulling it back through
23:28
just like so i have no oh yeah yeah sorry uh nikki it's not on facebook
23:36
we are just on youtube tonight yeah we're from going forward from the sounds of it that's where we're gonna be
23:43
honed is youtube so you just have to come over and visit us over there
23:49
yes and uh as i mentioned some of you may have missed it but uh they'll live on youtube but they
23:55
will also live on jules's blog which is uh still at jewelroom.com but here's the
24:03
extra stuff uh if you look but if you go to jewelum.com there is a
24:10
button at the top too that says blog you know i did this earring the first
24:16
time through with a jewel loom needle and had no problems no absolutely and i
24:22
had no problems with the it's just
24:28
his life yes uh becky says looks kind of like a watermelon color yes yes it's kind of
24:36
like that guys it's a little darker than a salmon um yeah but yeah it's like a watermelon and
24:43
that's why i picked it because i thought with the green in that it went well for spring summer all that
24:50
oh okay hi nicole it says nikki on your thing so that's why i
24:56
called you nikki but good to see you nicole oh okay hi hi nicole all right now let's
25:02
roll guys so we have six on there so we're gonna put three more and you don't have to
25:07
look away anymore we're gonna go we're gonna go guys you're gonna do it
25:13
we're gonna do it all right so you gotta do it trisha i have my nine seed beads on there
25:18
you're picking up something with it oh why won't i be and wait i'll catch on these pliers if i don't know those okay
25:26
guys so anyway we have moved all of our beads down onto our cording
25:32
and then i'm going to slide the wildfire underneath and i'm going to pull those beads
25:38
under okay and then i'm gonna kind of get in here and i'm gonna just divide three in each
25:45
channel and then i'm gonna go over the top and make sure you're going over top of the hem because if not your
25:52
beads will not attach correctly and we don't want that
25:59
a good way to to know is uh seeing the needle on top of the hem yes most definitely
26:06
so we just pulled that and believe it or not guys we have our first row
26:11
yay so let's do we're gonna pick up nine more because i did two rows of seed beads before i did my fire polish so
26:18
let's pick up nine more so vicky has a couple comments for you
26:24
trish she says loops go on after you're done and some silly faces
26:31
and she also says um it's the camera it messes everybody
26:36
up and that is so true yeah so true vicky and kelly hello welcome welcome
26:42
thank you guys you're so sweet to me you're sweet to both of them good to know nicole that you don't use
26:49
your full name here yes so i'm pushing those i got push those down on my thread and then i'm
26:56
pulling it under and i'm going to divide my three in each row again
27:02
and then go over the top and jules is in the house
27:12
so once we get this row on now we're going to go on to our beautiful fire polish and we're just
27:19
gonna need three of those to go across i'm just gonna get this to be kind of straight
27:26
for me and where i want it in the position so i can build on it
27:31
okay put those together i did guys um in all truthfulness this is probably the issue
27:38
oh no it's a lot it's huge it's like it's one of these 1.2 oh my goodness
27:46
my hands are going there's a reason oh we still love you no no i just that i
27:52
know that makes me uh today for edgy whatever jittery
27:58
so i'm gonna pick up three of our five millimeters
28:04
vicki is coming out with all of them she said uh no seed beads were damaged in the making of this video um well we'll
28:11
just say that thank you vicky keep going girl keep going
28:16
okay so i picked up three five millimeter fire polish and i'm gonna just push those down
28:23
put my needle under my work and i like to keep my finger here as i'm pulling my thread across and then i can
28:29
just as it comes to the end i can just push my beads up under easily
28:35
and then we're going to go across the top of course
28:41
okay so next we're going to pick up our eight o's
28:48
and we've got to put six of those across because we're gonna put two in each row
28:53
okay so we'll pick up six of those those are here i am picking them up
29:03
and i can tell kaylee's going to start again i don't know why she's doing that
29:09
tonight she's not usually like that it's of course mario's not home yet so
29:15
oh and you said there was visitors next door so yes that's true they may still be there
29:22
so i just put my ato's in and i'm going over the top
29:28
i'm just guiding that through with my finger kind of holding everything in place as i'm pulling that
29:34
through okay so that's what we have so far guys are two rows of 11's
29:40
our fire polish and then our eight o's so the next row is going to be our
29:47
crystals and i decided to do the pink blue
29:52
pink and then up at the top do blue pink blue just to kind of give it a little bit of interest
30:01
like i said though guys the sky's the limit with this with the color combinations i'll be anxious to see what
30:07
everybody makes so i push those down and you can see just how gorgeous those are going to be with all those other gorgeousness
30:15
and i'm going to go across of those as well the the wildfire is quite strong
30:23
guys i mean i'm not gonna say it's not gonna cut the thread 100 but i've never had any issues
30:29
and i don't know if you've noticed but sometimes regular scissors won't even cut oh yeah wildfire that's why you have
30:36
to have like cord cutters on that so it's pretty hardy in my opinion anyway
30:42
so there's our crystals get that gleaming
30:47
so pretty so pretty okay three more fire polish
30:52
go ahead amber oh i was just uh kelly had a great question i have too many projects
30:58
already to finish most are almost done anybody else have this problem any tips
31:04
i always want to try new things like these pretty earrings yes kelly don't even look in my office
31:12
they i have projects everywhere so well i i wish i could say that but as
31:17
amber knows i have issues with letting projects being left undone
31:23
it's just who i am so no i don't but i'm a little crazy so
31:29
she'd probably finish mine if she was at my house i would do that
31:35
get that done for you just get it done all right so i'm picking up six more
31:40
ado's
31:46
vicky says that she has way too many projects started in little spaces all around her craft area maybe you should
31:53
start videos on how we should uh finish up our craft projects yeah right
31:58
what is that girl that does like the the cleanings feng shui or whatever
32:06
yeah but marie condo yeah or whatever okay guys learning experience woohoo
32:16
but see i didn't catch those beads and you see how those just dropped right out of there so i
32:23
see i am telling you make sure you have to catch those across the top good way is looking for that needle
32:30
so now here we go again we're gonna show you how to fix this so we dropped two beads here so what i'm gonna do is i'm
32:37
gonna i don't wanna have to take my needle off i'm gonna have to yeah that's usually the easiest way the easiest way
32:44
and then catch your loop with your needle and pull that out which i did and then just pull your strand
32:50
and then you go back and you can put your needle back on and catch your beads that fell off
32:57
and then be more diligent the next time you go across sorry all of vicky's silly comments have uh thrown us
33:04
off guard right i cannot blame anyone else you know oh
33:11
no she did vicky uh love it vicky she said the the camera did it i saw it
33:21
thank you vicky okay so we have those back on simply and
33:26
see my needle's coming up through the top there are these i'm such a hot mess i can't even stand myself
33:33
[Laughter] that's why we're friends we're both the hot mess here yep so i'm just taking my
33:40
finger i'm getting those seed beads centered in those channels and i'm going to make sure i catch
33:47
all of them you coordinated everything tonight your nails your beads your bowls i wish this
33:55
wouldn't have happened but but i it was all
34:00
by it's not on purpose i could stay and take credit for it but i don't want to
34:06
lie so it just all worked out even my bracelet goes woohoo
34:12
so well and jules has joined the uh unfinished projects group she said don't
34:18
even ask how many i have okay like i said i try to be diligent about
34:25
that but see i picked up a one of the turquoise the pink and the turquoise of the four millimeter fire polish and i'm
34:31
gonna put those down to the end of my string there toward the work
34:36
and then thread put my needle underneath and pull the thread and you can see i'm working from the
34:42
bottom up guys you know that's that's how i like to work a lot of people like to do from the top
34:48
down but it really as we've discussed in the past that doesn't matter however it gets you there whatever makes you
34:54
comfortable okay and we're gonna go through the bicones
34:59
here oh great advice becky she said don't
35:04
even think about how much you have look at look at uh any of them except one and
35:12
sit down and work on it the only way to get it all yeah for sure that is the only way to do
35:17
it okay and nicole said pretty much the same
35:23
thing she gets overwhelmed yeah just works one at a time well and that's part of the reason i do
35:29
what i do because i get overwhelmed easily um with unfinished projects
35:35
so i make sure i finish them if at all possible because it just will add stress to my life if i don't yeah i get that
35:43
yeah and vicki says not to worry about your nail trish uh meredith had a broken nail
35:49
earlier today too it must be the dave she said we're all beauty family and we love you anyways well thank you i love
35:56
you guys too so now we're at the point where we're going to add those seed beads on like i said guys
36:03
project we're almost i know it's great isn't it and then we can either add those two roll rows
36:10
which i will do but you can decide to add one row or none if you like you know just that little
36:16
abbreviated length better and then you'll have to account for the ribbon crimps but
36:23
kaylee and i are going to have a long talk after us
36:31
she's almost 14 guys so i let her get away with a lot so
36:36
but she's so precious and when she is precious but when my husband's home which he's working late tonight usually
36:43
i don't have to worry about it because he's like oh stay quiet you know mom's working but
36:49
so i'm just picking up those nine seed beads again in the 11 0's
36:59
okay drop those down
37:07
now and the other thing you could do guys i found with this width you could even use like um three
37:14
millimeters or four millimeter fire polish in here you would just add like a seed bead beside it
37:22
if you wanted to use smaller fire polish if that's what you had on hand you know
37:27
that sounds like a good idea too yeah definitely this
37:33
go ahead nope i'm good you go ahead oh vicky says when she puts her projects aside for a while she ends up with some
37:40
very interesting redesign ideas that's awesome well and two i know for
37:46
myself i've got to add one more bead on here guys uh for myself whenever i
37:52
sometimes if i just wait a day or two to go back to a project because i do sometimes
37:58
i get actually you go back to it and you get some better ideas than you have originally
38:03
you can see the design clearer you know walk away and i've i've learned through
38:08
the years because i've been beating like 15 probably over 15 years at this point
38:15
um just sometimes if something's giving you that much trouble just walk away for a
38:22
little bit go get a drink go get some tea you know just kind of clear your mind up
38:27
a little bit and when i come back you know i'm much more refreshed and able to
38:32
you know get the project completed the way i wanted to you know
38:37
so just to review it looks like you put the eight o's in the two middle sections yes the eight o's are in the middle
38:43
sections and the eleven those are on the outside and then you only need six of those in each row right the eight is correct okay
38:51
yes the picture had gone blurry for a little bit there so i just wanted to review that okay good yeah i'm not good it went
38:58
blurry that's just my internet but it's it looks great now at least on my end but earlier yeah good let us know
39:06
guys if everything's looking good i don't know there's too much i can do about it but i'm wired in basically at this point so
39:14
yeah kelly said oh go ahead nope go ahead oh i was just gonna say kelly says she
39:20
has gardening nails does she yeah
39:26
all right so this is our last row now the other thing i was talking to amber and you know ammo
39:34
hey somebody used to call me hamburger it's all good
39:40
oh i'm sorry why is that so funny i don't know and what was i even gonna say oh
39:47
okay you were talking to me about something oh i was talking to amber before we came on and i was saying i
39:52
reinforced this one i went back up through and i really liked how it gave it like a a sturdier
40:00
feel feel so you can certainly do that for now tonight we're just going to tie off
40:05
because i want to be able to show you i don't know what time it is okay we're doing fine we're doing great i'm watching it
40:11
yep so i'm going to go ahead and tie this off
40:17
and i just brought that needle up through the between the first and the second warp okay and then i'm just going
40:25
to loop my needle i'm just going to tie on the end if you want to go into the middle guys you can run your needle back
40:31
through and take it to a needle part or to a middle part and do the same thing there
40:36
i'm fine with this because this gives such tiny knots i'm fine with that so i'm just going to
40:42
do it twice that's just personal preference
40:48
especially with earrings i have really long hair so nobody's going to be you know scrutinizing my
40:54
earrings so vicky has wire working nails she always
41:01
has a nail file ready and that's exactly what that's from
41:06
is working with wire because i do the same thing a lot i think working with any kind of beading
41:13
it's rough it can be rough yeah yeah so i don't like the way that knot's looking up there so i'm gonna
41:20
try to open that up and tie it a little tighter i'm gonna cut this one first though because we have our our last knot here done i'm just
41:28
gonna cut that close and then you can put a little bit of gs hypo on it if you want to my my trimmers are getting dull
41:34
i think i don't know i'm using them on things i shouldn't i like ribbon and hemp and
41:41
i know oh honey so i don't know if you could get if i'll be able to get them sharpened or not but i don't know
41:50
i don't know i don't know so i'm just trying to get my needle in here because i want to be able to tie
41:56
this tighter but of course i'm old and i can't see so um
42:03
trying to get my needle in the middle of that but
42:08
it is not being very cooperative
42:13
there we go nope that's not it so i'm gonna go ahead and go ahead oh
42:20
god okay we're doing that a lot tonight um what i'm gonna do then guys is i'm
42:26
just gonna since i can't get that out i'm just gonna run the cord around and then tie a tighter knot
42:32
over it and hope that that stays in place for me okay for now [Laughter]
42:41
what i mean is i'm going to do another knot over top of it so then that way it's very secure on the
42:47
i wasn't laughing at you honey oh okay so
42:52
anyway um i was laughing at vicki she said i gave up on nail polish years ago
42:58
if someone is close enough to see the vine fine details of your earrings they better have chocolate and flowers yes
43:04
they better that's a very good point girl okay so there we have it guys there's
43:10
our our earring now i'm going to cut this off the loom like we always do and i'm just going to support
43:15
the strands here i'll do it this way so you can see and i'm just holding on to that
43:21
just on the cords there to make sure that nothing snaps back and hurts my design
43:27
okay kind of distorts my design and i'm just going to take my thread my cord cutters and just go across here
43:35
cut them one at a time okay and then on the back
43:41
i can just cut straight across there and then we can get those off the the strings around the loom off
43:48
later and then i'm just gonna take
43:54
two strands here and i'm gonna knock those together
44:01
this is gonna be a super simple one tonight guys keep it simple silly
44:08
remember that i don't know what that was from but i don't know well it's it's another word that i don't
44:16
let my kids say kiss no silly isn't it oh oh okay
44:24
so gotcha i don't have kids so i say what i want
44:31
when you want i tell you what yup i we'll pull this in just a little bit
44:36
guys while we're doing this so you can see it a little better
44:41
so i'm going to take this knot and as i'm tying this guys i'm working this knot down with my fingers
44:47
and i'm just going to snug that up to the bottom
44:53
and again you can put some gs hypo in here but i'm going to be putting some super glue on these knots before i put
44:58
my ribbon crimp on them and uh so that way then we'll be good tonight we're going to do something a
45:04
little different because you remember i taught you how to do it with the ribbon underneath which you can still do but
45:09
tonight i'm just going to use the knots and glue in our ribbon crimp it'll give you another option
45:15
i just didn't care for the way that looked with the ribbon for some reason but
45:20
i decided to do it this way it's a cute earring yes it is it's ready you're going to be ready for spring
45:27
yeah yeah kelly i agree wire working is a lot of fun and combining it with looming is
45:34
really cool we hope to do uh next month maybe in may to do a a
45:39
wire work project yes absolutely that's like again sings to my soul the wire
45:46
does so yeah sandy it's not easy it is tricky so
45:51
but we want to try making it as accessible to you guys as possible yep absolutely we may do a couple next month
45:59
actually because that's really where i kind of want to go with a lot of my projects
46:06
oh vicky vicki says you cut the project off the loom i've been trying to untie it all
46:13
this time oh man brilliant well i'm glad i can do something
46:19
brilliant tonight oh you are brilliant you designed this thank you
46:25
yes vicky i you can untie or you can cut so yes
46:30
i cut because that saves me a lot of heartache so i'm just going to take my trimmers here guys and i'm just going to
46:36
leave you can see how much i'm going to leave there i hope it's not blurry down
46:44
yep you're good okay so i'm just cutting and leaving that amount there
46:53
same thing here
46:59
nice thing about these if you want to make gifts you can just whip a bunch of these out super quick if you're using the original
47:06
loom you could do like four of them or six of them down and you could make like three three pair
47:13
earrings two or three pair earrings basically in one sitting so so that's what we have at this point
47:19
and now we're gonna get out our excuse me i'm gonna put these fire
47:24
polishes stuff back in the bowl here so i'm not throwing those around and the crystals that will not be named
47:34
don't talk about it we don't [Laughter]
47:41
all right so what i'm going to do here guys is i'm going to put my ribbon crimps on
47:46
but i'm going to just use the knots and how i'm going to do that i'm going to take a little bit of super glue and put
47:52
it on the ends of my knots a little bit there and then a little bit on either side
47:58
why would you choose a super glue over um because super glue dries quicker it's
48:03
just just my preference for that yeah um with ribbon crimps even though once you get the ribbon crimp on
48:10
it's pretty secure but it's just a personal okay so you see how i did this i like to
48:16
use my flat nose pliers for this these are my favorite ones to do because then you get
48:22
um it doesn't get as wavy if you're and you can do it more evenly in my opinion so
48:28
i'm just sliding this over the knots like so and i'm centering it on my earring
48:35
and just pushing pushing down i did the metal i'm gonna go where the knots are
48:42
and just again just close that down with my pliers i'm not
48:47
like wrenching on this guys i'm just getting a nice
48:52
good squeeze sure yeah yeah so there's one
48:59
we have this little bit sitting off the side here and i'm just going to trim that little tiny bit to poked out
49:06
okay and then we'll do the same thing on the bottom
49:12
i can hear the barker she just came up the stairs she thought
49:18
she's buying for now so hopefully she'll she's she wants in here is probably what the main issue is
49:25
yeah kelly thinks uh thinks that warping with a wire is easier
49:32
um to warp anyway yes yeah it can be it can be
49:38
yeah and then vicki said she's tried soft flex on the loom i have not done that yet that is something i wanted to
49:44
try vicky you'll have to fill us in and i'm just going to push these in a little bit because they're kind of
49:50
turned out and then i'm just going to mix and i'm going to center this on the
50:01
and i'm gonna push this in a little bit on the side just to kind of make sure i don't get the same thing happening i'm
50:07
just gonna take a head pin here guys and i'm just pushing this in before i close it all the way down
50:14
just to make sure everything's inside keep your arms inside the ride
50:21
yeah vicky said that oh sorry go ahead and then i'm just going to do the same thing
50:27
just crimp those down lightly
50:32
okay so that's ready now what we're going to do is we're going to make our head pins for our dangles on the bottom
50:40
or make our dangles for the bottom with headpins say that three times
50:46
so i'm gonna use again i'm gonna use some of these ado's and i'm gonna use some of our teal beads
50:52
again dealer's choice however you guys whatever beads you like
50:57
you use okay so what i did is i i made one
51:03
the middle one i made slightly longer so i'm going to do the same thing here so i'm going to
51:10
do the same pattern i'm going to do an edo this is just like a 20 gauge headpin if i didn't say that guys
51:17
an 8-0 one of the two another eido under the teal it's kind of
51:23
simple but that's how we like it
51:29
okay so we have 802 802 and then we need another eight oh
51:35
another tail because this is our longer one okay
51:40
and then i'm gonna again keep it simple by using the one step looper if you guys haven't tried this
51:46
need to and i'm just going to put this into my one step looper and push it up to my
51:52
seed bead and then i'm going to put my fingernail in there and just back it off a hair because i don't want my seed bead to crack
52:00
done that way too many times it was almost too close still after i
52:06
did that i'm going to grab my round nose here
52:12
oh vicki feels by since she's watched your demo she may actually be able to finish
52:18
up the soft flex pendant wonderful oh vicky share a picture with us if you get
52:23
a test absolutely okay so i'm just adjusting that loop a little bit
52:28
and i'm just going to close it down because i know i'm going to be hooking it into a jump ring
52:34
before you move on to the next one i'm just going to go ahead and do that okay
52:40
so now i'm going to flatten him back out we're going to do the next one
52:46
yes nicole we don't talk about bruno or certain crystals
52:51
and i'm just going to do the pattern with the teal and the
52:56
siam but i'm going to do it a little shorter this time and these two are going to be
53:02
a little shorter than the original one as i said so
53:07
there's that move those over so you can see a little better
53:13
and then take the wire put it through your
53:19
one step looper and squeeze and you can see how those seed beads kind of fall down
53:26
so if you turn it kind of this way you can get it to close completely
53:33
so then you don't have so much work in going back and closing it now you just have a teeny tiny little
53:39
split there if you guys can see that okay i'm just going to rock that back and
53:45
forth and i've got that one closed and we're going to do one more with the same pattern
53:52
as we just did soft flex has a similar
53:59
product to wildfire i believe but uh but the soft flex we're talking about
54:07
is different when wildfire i i didn't think they had stringing material yeah i
54:12
believe they do i know they have maybe it's beadalon maybe i'm mixing them up maybe not i don't know but
54:20
i just thought there were like two names on on the market but i could be wrong
54:25
too oh maybe i'll we can look more into that we'll look into that
54:32
so i'm doing the same pattern as i did there guys and i'm picking up the wrong tool so
54:37
we'll pick the right one up and the same thing just put it in there
54:43
and back it off a little bit give it a squeeze and then let it close the whole way and
54:48
you can see it cuts it for you as well so makes things nice
54:53
so i just want to make sure that loops nice and closed i'm going to double check this one
55:05
okay so now we're going to take just a simple jump ring i think this is a
55:10
five millimeter jump ring i'm pretty sure and i'm just going to open that up and
55:16
i'm sure you all know but i'm just going to refresh if you don't when you're opening a jump ring you want to open it
55:22
back to front just like so you never want to pull out on it because
55:27
you're going to make your jump ring change shape if you do that so you don't
55:33
want to do that okay so i'm going to put on one of my shorter ones my longer one
55:41
and then one of my shorter ones and then i'm just going to hook it through the loop on the bottom couldn't
55:48
be any easier
55:54
and then just grab it and close it the same way that you opened it and i'm just kind of rocking
55:59
it back and forth to get the ends to meet up nicely okay
56:05
that so we're just gonna put our the last thing to do is just to put our earring
56:11
uh hook on it i'm gonna use like i said i use these little simple posts but
56:16
you could use fish hooks or anything you like with it got one more jump ring here
56:28
okay and then hook
56:35
that on and
56:41
close there we go guys
56:47
a simple pair of spring earrings ready to get you outside in the garden
56:53
woohoo i love them it's so pretty thank you thank you i'm real happy with them
56:58
too i i can't wait to wear them they're just bright and
57:03
and ready for ready to get out in the garden in the green grass
57:09
all right so let me turn this around if you guys are done checking out our finished project
57:16
i can turn this camera around thank you bonnie is like fireline soft flexes yeah that's
57:22
what i thought rose i i i don't know but i know soft flex does have make beating
57:28
wire and i don't think amber's contesting that i think she just thought maybe they make the stringing materials
57:35
as well so we'll just have to check it out okay so i'm going to flip this around guys
57:41
sorry i was looking at soft flex's sight and i missed your cue to
57:46
oh no you did fine honey you did fine i just
57:52
like doing this because i don't want to make anybody see sick yeah everybody's loving your earrings
57:58
they're saying they're adorable uh jules said they're salsa sassy
58:06
melanie says they're gorgeous ray loves them thank you so much guys
58:12
thank you i really had fun designing them
58:18
what now sorry i interrupted you again that's okay that's the theme
58:25
i'll let you look at that [Laughter] no um i put it on the screen
58:33
don't use the shocks from the puppy fishing tackle box they don't work right
58:40
right yeah no you don't want to do that just the jewelry ones you can get at hobby
58:46
lobby or yeah i think rose had a good description wildfire is like fire line
58:53
and then soft flex beading wire is multiple strings and they have this coating a different kind of coating so
58:59
wildfire has a coating on it but then they have this colored coating on soft flex and it's actual wire wire this is
59:06
right wire this is just being string so yeah i mean there it's it's a big
59:12
difference from that product to this product um like i said it's it's they don't i don't
59:18
think they make stringy materials they like they don't wear top string
59:24
they make beating wire right and regular wire as well from what i understand from kneeway so so yeah
