hi guys here we are here we are I am back I'm like a bad rash you can't get
0:07
rid of me right so yeah we are back today I am back
0:14
today and we are going to be making a super fun project this will not be on a
0:19
loom it will be on
0:27
I'm getting sorry I'm getting for some reason I don't know why um but anyway it will not be on a loop
0:34
it will be done by hand and be stitched I'm gonna take this off for now
0:40
um it will be stitched if I hate no room here today but we're gonna learn a fun
0:46
technique hi Maria Trisha is back with the Vengeance
0:51
uh pop up every now and then in the jewel loom lives
0:57
um so here we go we have this is the one that was in the photo that we're gonna
1:03
work on this is a flat Stitch and I recently learned this like in the
1:09
past six months um and I've been really enjoying doing it with cabochons these are the
1:15
beautiful cabochons that came in the uh Prague box that Joel's curated for us
1:22
when she went to the Czech Republic so we wanted to make sure and show you some things that you could do with it and
1:28
this is definitely something you can make into a pendant um or make earrings if you like bigger
1:34
earrings you don't have to go with it you can put less roads around it things
1:40
like that and that can give you more of like an earring size I don't mind the
1:45
size for earrings really because I usually go big or go home but here is
1:51
another one that I did with one of the um green ones let me grab that better
1:58
we go and I'll show you them on the mat as well but that is the green one that I did now
2:04
I did use some cup chain on this guys so if you have that handy you can use it if
2:10
you don't we can just use the seed beads no problem hi everybody hi so glad to see everybody
2:16
let me just say hello to a few folks before we go down to the mat Deb is here

3:34

3:55
sure
4:03
okay here we are it wasn't so bad right so here is let me turn this light down
4:10
because this does help shed a little bit more light on the subject here
4:15
hi Rhonda nice to see you too sweetie um here are pieces that we are gonna learn we're gonna
4:22
learn this one today with these beautiful blue purple and pink beads just really adorable and then this green
4:30
example that I made and just shows you like on this one I kind of color blocked a little bit
4:35
and you know
4:41
this one I just kind of kept it sick I did one row of variegated then I did the
4:47
purple on the outside and then the purple around the edges
4:52
guys I hate to do this to you but can you hold on for just one moment
5:08
hey no no you can't get down there
5:24
okay we actually have an extra dog in the house tonight and that's part that's the
5:31
main problem my brother has a um huge yellow lab and he has a mind of his own
5:38
and there was a baby gate at the bottom of the stairs and he kind of you know knock that down he's you know it's
5:47
so anyway getting on with our project here so here are our projects and the
5:52
first thing we can start out doing is like I said if you have some cup chain it does really Pop there's Julie hi
6:01
Julie okay and the cup chain does really make it pop so I like to
6:08
um use it again your preference is kind of I'll put these here so you can kind of look at them as we're working on them
6:15
so what I did is I just took one of those beautiful cabochons that we got
6:21
and I will show you the cabochon just in case you did not get them you can you'll know what to
6:28
look for so basically this is an acrylic cabochon and there's a lot of companies now that
6:34
have these that you can purchase from them um that they have the flat back on them
6:39
you could also use natural stones anything
6:44
um like that that has a flat back works perfectly so what I do is I just use a
6:51
little bit of this Pell on now pellon is not necessary but I do like it for these
6:57
projects because it's it's a backing that's made for stitching sewing and
7:03
wardrobe machines things like that some of you Crafters may know about Pelon
7:08
but if you this is a medium weight that I have doubled they do make a heavy weight as well and
7:16
um you could also use felt and just double that up just to get a stiff material to stitch on it just makes life
7:23
a lot easier you can get the pill on at Walmart or Jo-Ann Fabrics if you are
7:28
looking for that I would recommend getting the heavy weight versus the mid so you don't have to double it so I did
7:35
is I just took some b7000 you can use E6000 super glue whatever is your
7:40
desired glue of choice and glue your cabochon to the middle of
7:45
your backing okay once you let that dry which I did ahead so we would be nice and dry here
7:53
um you're going to add your cup chain so what I like to do is I take my cup chain
8:01
and I lay it around my cabochon okay just like so
8:09
and I kind of see how much I'm gonna need
8:14
doesn't have to be exactly perfect as you're doing this but
8:20
it gives you a good idea so as I get to the bottom here
8:25
I can see I'm gonna be able to cut right at that cup and that's going to give me the exact distance around that I need
8:33
so I'm just going to take my pliers in here and I'm just going to trim
8:40
right at that cup at the end of that uh and then all we're going to do is we're
8:47
going to take a little bit of the beat 7000 or whatever you oops and we're going to glue our cup chain from the
8:54
reason I like this glue is because this smaller tip on it which makes it a
8:59
lot easier to control doing things like this so we're just going to go right around the outside edge of our beautiful
9:06
cabochon just like so just putting the glue the
9:11
whole way around it and then put your lid back on
9:16
and then you're going to lay your cup chain into the glue so we're going to start here at the bottom
9:23
and I'm just going to work that down and pushing it into the glue
9:29
so it's nice and snug in there
9:38
okay I'm just working around and if you do happen to measure wrong
9:44
which it looks like I do have one extra cup here I don't know that it's I kind of spread it out and with cup chain you
9:50
can spread it out or you can push it together because they have those little um hinges in the middle so now that I
9:58
pushed it together it's perfect okay just push it a little closer back together and now it was
10:06
perfect for that so you see that was just very simple you would just let that dry before you start your seed beading
10:12
so again I do have another one here that's ready for us to roll and to start
10:19
our seed beading on now what I did on this pattern is I just
10:25
went um blue pink blue purple pink blue you know
10:31
it's just a very simple pattern I just use the blue pink blue purple and then
10:36
pink blue pink purple so just going back and forth on that so I'm going to take
10:45
um Phillip I'm peeking behind the curtain of Wizard of Oz it looks so mysterious
10:51
but maybe I can do it you can do it you can do it Terry just hang in there and you'll be able to see you'll be able to
10:57
do it honey okay so now we're gonna do is in my needle this is a two needle
11:03
it's my perfect I'm using the wildfire in Frost it's the
11:08
0.006 0.15 millimeter and I've just
11:15
pulled about my wingspan of wildfire off and I've tied a little knot on the end
11:22
of my Wildfire okay that's all you need to do just something to stop it from coming through the front of the backing
11:29
and then I do like to wax my my Wildfire this is the wax I use I got it off
11:35
Amazon but there's waxes out there everywhere all the stores have them when businesses so I just like to wax mine I
11:42
feel like it flows a little easier so all we're going to do we have our cup
11:48
chain is now dry we're going to take our needle underneath and we're going to poke that up right
11:54
beside that cup chain just leave maybe a millimeter space so it's not tight tight
12:00
tight against it adjust a little bit here
12:06
just gonna finagle that up through just make sure I have it where I want it yeah and it's just enough away from it that
12:14
everything's not going to be um tight roll tight against it okay so we're going to pull our needle through
12:20
and then pull our thread and it's just as simple as that and we can serve seed
12:26
beading so we're going to start our pattern like I said whatever pattern makes you happy these seed beads that
12:33
I'm using are all the nose these were also in your frog box
12:38
you don't have the ones from the Prague box you can use whatever you have whatever colors you like this is a
12:45
beautiful pink this is the ceylon in innocent pink I love this it's one of my
12:50
favorites the Jules carries and then this one is inside color rainbow Rosalina
12:58
link drawing which is also stunning and I Jules picked out a good combination here
13:04
um that went perfectly with these cabochons so we're just going to pick up a blue
13:11
pink a blue and I like to usually pick up six beads
13:17
but I'm gonna pick up seven because I want to make sure um that I have the space bead between
13:23
them the purple spacer bead between the two runs and then I'm gonna go pink
13:30
oops pink blue pink okay
13:38
so I'll show you that so that's going to give us seven beads
13:44
and then we will end with a purple as well we'll start with a purple and the
13:50
other one excuse me I'm sorry so we're going to drop those beads down
13:56
and we're just going to start laying that against our cup chain okay
14:01
just like so and you're going to see here I use my thumb here to kind of keep that snug against my cup chain all right
14:10
and I'm just going to take my needle and again about a millimeter in front of the final bead that you put on there I know
14:17
it's going to be hard to see I'm gonna put my needle down through
14:23
the backing okay we're gonna pull that
14:28
all right so now
14:33
you've got that pulled it's in place it's nice and snug around the edge but that's not going to be good enough
14:39
because that's going to still be you know it's easy to see on there and that's not what we want so with the flat
14:45
Stitch what it consists of is that when we take my needle and I'm going to go through beads back and I'm going to go
14:51
between the seed bead and the cocktail with my needle
14:57
okay on the inside near the cup chain okay you can see
15:02
where I'm putting that I hope and then I'm going to pull that up through
15:13
and this is the flat Stitch Part guys a big part of it so there is a thread that goes through these beads so what we're
15:21
doing is we're literally tacking down the thread between the beads we're not tacking down the literal beads but the
15:28
thread so I went between the cup chain and the seed beads here so I'm going to go between the second and third bead
15:35
okay and I'm going to put my needle down right beside that
15:41
outside on the outside okay so that that thread so if our thread runs this way
15:47
through our beads This Thread is going to run across and it's going to tack it down for us if you understand what I'm saying
15:55
so we're going to pull that through
16:04
and we're just going to kind of keep it lined up so we can get it between that second and third bead so it doesn't pop
16:11
over don't wanna pull that down and that first section
16:17
has now completely packed in place so that I'm going to go back two more
16:22
beads and I'm going to go between that second bead and the cup chain
16:29
again and pull that up through
16:38
then I'm going to go over top of the seed beads over top of that thread
16:44
that runs through there and over to the other side and take my needle and go down through the backing okay
16:53
and we're tacking those two down and then we're going to go two more because we have an odd number so we'll
17:00
do the do two more which is normally what I do with the six anyway but our seven will be fine just
17:07
that last bead will be fine so same thing up between this is now the six
17:13
speed and the seventh speed that we're gonna go between camera doesn't decide there we go
17:22
and then just pull your thread go over top and on the other side of the
17:29
thread running through the seed beads down through
17:35
Tech all right does that making sense to
17:41
everybody so far so now what we're going to do is we need
17:49
to get our needle back up here in the front because being right-handed I like to work work right to left around my
17:54
cabochons is just more comfortable for me um so you may want to work left to right
18:00
I don't know if you're left-handed but what I like to do then once I've gone through and tacked down my beads
18:08
I'm going to pop up right at the end of those beads okay back end here
18:14
put my needle up through okay
18:20
makes sense yes okay good and we're pulling that
18:25
up behind that last bead and we're going to put our needle through all of these beads you may not be able to do it at
18:32
once once you're really going around a curve like this up here this pink bead so what I'll do is I'll put it through
18:38
the beads that I can and then go through that bead by itself
18:43
if need be okay
18:48
and now we're back out at the front and we're ready to proceed with another
18:56
set of beads okay so let's do another set so we're going to do the purple
19:02
and the blue pink blue
19:10
purple and pink
19:17
hello pink okay so now you can see there's not
19:23
seven beads there's eight beads on there so for our first run we have our seven but on the next one we're gonna have
19:29
eight and then going forward we're gonna have eight because that's how we're going to
19:35
get our speed that is in between the the runs of the pinks and the blues okay so
19:42
we're gonna do eight beads and put that down
19:52
and we're just gonna pull that again so it's nice and snug and I'm going to
19:58
keep my thumb there to keep it in place and I'm going to push my beads back a
20:03
little bit with my finger just to make sure everything's nice and snug and tight there and we're going to come up between
20:12
the cup chain
20:17
he's popping up a little bit of room to breathe there we go
20:22
so we're going to go between the cup chain and the second bead right there
20:35
now what are we doing here
20:41
Harley Quinn from the front the front hold on one second guys let me just re-thread this quick
20:47
it's a little bit
20:53
there we go on the top sorry about that get my needle back threaded and we'll
20:59
continue sorry about the dogs barking the guys
21:04
left and kind of on our own me on my own Muslims
21:10
so par for the course okay so we drop our a beads down and then on the front we're holding that
21:17
in place and we're going to go down in front of that last bead okay
21:22
and pull that down through how did I map it out to know that my
21:29
pattern would work um I gotta tell you really Terry I'm Gonna Fly by the seat
21:35
of your pants type of gal so I really didn't map it out I just kind of went with it and then
21:42
just would deal with it however it landed but you guys a lot of you are a lot more meticulous than that so you
21:50
know you might want to just kind of um
21:55
measure I mean how that would be around a cabochon I'm not sure but for me I
22:03
just kind of eyeballed it and I was like okay we're gonna fly by the seat of our pants I like this pattern we're gonna go
22:09
for it now I have no problem if it doesn't land on exactly the bead that
22:15
it's supposed to that doesn't bother me because nobody's really gonna notice that when they're looking at this piece
22:20
because there's so much to it you know if there's a purple where it's not
22:26
supposed to be or whatever you know as long as it's not um right next to each other you'll be fine
22:32
you know but that's just how it worked out nephew that's the truth so what I like
22:39
to do guys that is the perfect answer okay so what I like to do and I don't know if I showed you this but I'd like
22:45
to kind of wrap this around my finger a little bit on the back and hold on to my Pelon
22:52
as that's keeping that down as I'm going to put my needle up between the cup chain and that second bead
22:59
okay just to kind of keep it nice and snug and then I'm going to pull up through that and we're tacking down between the
23:07
second and the third bead okay
23:13
down through
23:23
and again I'm guiding that with my left thumb just to make sure that it pops between the second and the third B
23:29
because that's where I want it okay so we're gonna go another two
23:35
go between the cup chain and the seed beads
23:50
we're gonna go between four and five
24:01
and again I'm going to guide that with my thumb to where I want it
24:13
okay I'm kind of keeping my thumbnail over top of that bead behind it so it does not pop
24:19
somewhere else or onto where I don't so we've got
24:25
four or five now we're going to go 11.
24:37
so six and seven
24:44
and then we're just gonna go over top again tack that down
25:00
and then we have seven and eight so we'll tack what we're going to do
25:06
here I think is we're not going to attack anymore I think we're good it's back there I'm gonna go between the eighth bead
25:15
of this run and the first beat of first run
25:21
that makes sense so we're going to count down to eight there's two four it's
25:27
eight so we're going to go up between excuse me the first feed and the second
25:33
bead on the first run guys so basically what we're doing is we're just securing
25:39
this next row to the first row by going through the first bead and then up
25:45
through uh the rest of the beads on the top like we did before but we're just
25:50
hooking it to that first row by grabbing that bead so this pink bead right here
25:56
is from the first row that we did so we're going to go up through that
26:03
I'm just kind of gonna work with your needle to get it go between and then we're going to work our way up
26:10
through the new row that we just put on okay and again you need to just do some
26:16
of them and then catch the rest of them you can certainly do that so now it is secured not only to the
26:22
bottom of the pedal on it's referred to that but first row that we did so
26:30
there's two runs right there guys so that is the basic if you want me to
26:37
do one more run I can do that just let me know in the comments but
26:43
that is all you do to go around your your piece and then when you go to put
26:50
your next row on you're just going to pop your needle out on the outside of your seed beads so say
26:56
if we had the whole row on here I would go down through this whole amount was
27:03
filled in here I would go down through the Pelon on between the last bead and
27:09
the first bead okay
27:14
to get that underneath there what is the ideal run length is there such a thing as too long
27:20
um I prefer six yes there is such as too long because I think that
27:27
you don't get it be as well with a longer run there's more of a chance of
27:34
it becoming more wildly and because you have to kind of keep everything snug and
27:39
I think for me six is manageable and everything stays nice and snug and nice and tight
27:46
but that's me personally you could certainly experiment maybe you would be more comfortable more
27:53
but I like sex so we've gone down through as if we finish this whole row around
27:59
and what I would do then is I would just pop back up
28:05
between on the outside excuse me of our seed bead roll that we've just made because
28:12
we're going to start a new CP row so you want to be on the outside of that so if you're going to start another row
28:19
around that's all you'd have to do just go down through and then come back up on the outside of the road that you just
28:26
finished that makes sense so you can see here that I did two rows
28:32
I did the row the variegated and then I did a row of the purple
28:37
and that's all I did I just put my needle down through when I was done and brought it back up on the outside of
28:44
that row and then started my purple row okay
28:51
all right so if that makes sense to everyone so once you get your rose on
28:57
however many you want I did two you can do one you can do however many if you want guys so I'm gonna put my needle
29:04
onto this one because we're going to go ahead and move forward with putting the backing on
29:14
so I'm just going to use a piece of felt today you can use leather I left mine downstairs so we're just going to use
29:20
with what we have here so I just have this little pink
29:26
a piece of fleece up here that I'm going to use that works just fine but it's
29:31
whatever you like whatever works for you the leather looks nice suede looks nice
29:37
you know all of those got that done we're gonna thread this
29:43
needle and I'm going to show you the next steps on putting your backing on okay
29:52
because we're going to need this in just a minute after we do our back okay so now we've got our whole pattern
29:59
finished here I might have missed did you anchor the cup chain to even with gluing it I did not but you could
30:05
certainly do that you can anchor it with a thread Terry um go for it but you can certainly just
30:11
tack it down between the cups like we did the seed beads I haven't had any problem with the cup
30:17
chain moving with the glue but you know if that's something that you'd like to do go for it okay so now we have all of
30:24
our rows on and what I'm going to do now and you can see this is basically what it looks like
30:30
on the back it's pretty it's pretty neat it's it's you know kind of it's condensed in there behind the scene
30:37
beads so you know you're welcome Terry that you can go ahead and cut around it and you're going to be fine so I always
30:43
use these shears um these are the cord cutting shears and I know I shouldn't be doing it but they
30:49
work so well for me but if you have a nice um sharp pair of scissors they would as
30:56
well and what I do is I'll just cut in with my card patterns
31:02
so and
31:08
angle them out just so okay
31:19
and just trim around and we're just angling them out just a hair
31:25
and we're cutting that backing off right now okay
31:31
so we're cutting it nice and close to our seed beads we don't want to go through crazy clothes because we don't want to cut our threads but if you keep
31:38
it this ankle when you're trimming you're gonna have pretty good luck
31:49
okay okay so once you do that then you're going to
31:55
cut out a piece of your backing hold on one moment okay
32:11
okay so we're going to just cut out a little square piece of our backing just enough that you know
32:16
would work to fit on the backing now I can tell you
32:22
um the ultra suede looks nice like I said the leather looks nice
32:27
um I actually found some vinyl sheets at uh Hobby
32:35
um so we're just going to take and
32:41
glue backing onto your to your piece okay so I'm just going to take some more
32:47
of my these b7000 and go around the edge to make sure it's nice and sealed around
32:52
the edge for us okay
33:05
okay put that back in there and then we're gonna put our piece onto our backing
33:13
just like so just hold it there for a few minutes and let it dry
33:37
I'm just making sure that that's all sealed around the edges there guys just going around
33:43
and making sure it's nice and snug and then we're going to take our shears and do the exact same thing
33:51
just angled them out and trim off that backing images all
33:57
right so then we have all of the pieces
34:05
now this backing is also going to be stitched on so you don't have to worry about it falling off now you could leave
34:12
it if you didn't want to stitch on your backing and do the edging you could leave it just like so
34:18
um some people don't mind the raw Edge I do like an edging online
34:24
of all of mine but you know that's definitely I like to you know more is
34:29
more right so that's true like I said
34:37
you got that up to the edges some snug
34:44
all right that's just what it looks like and you can go around and look if you have like a little piece sticking out I
34:50
also do that with the white if I see a little bit sticking out I'll trim it or whatever but it's going to be covered up
34:57
with an Eco Stitch and that's what I'm going to show you right now
35:02
so what I normally do is thumb is 3B
35:07
3B of the edges you may need to adjust depending on the
35:12
thickness of your piece so I did the purple on the edge of this
35:18
one Edge kind of Blended it with that last row but you could change that up if you wanted to put
35:23
um another uh color there it would certainly look cute so I'm going to pick
35:29
up three and again this is kind of a fly by this in my pants as I know what kind
35:34
of backing I'm picker so we'll see if the three work like I did on this where I use the ultra
35:40
Spade okay but you know you can play around with yours but this should work so what I'm
35:47
going to do is I put my three beads on my three eleven nose and you could also guys if you don't want to use 11s you
35:52
could do this but keep that with
36:00
me here through my backing and you can see where my thread is the front might be done already and I'm
36:07
Gonna Come through the back of the backing here the pink backing and
36:12
I'm going to angle my needle up it's not going to go through because we wanted to
36:18
catch the backing that you just put on and the backing that you stitched onto
36:24
so if you come up in an angle I don't know if you can see my needle coming out there
36:29
we're catching both of those backings without disturbing the seed beads and making threads on the front
36:38
my hands are in here so you can kind of see that angle okay
36:45
so if you do that through and you're just going to pull your thread and those beads those threads
36:53
going to go into a circle so it's automatically going to go into that Pico
36:58
Stitch let me just remember throwing back on this side it'll automatically go into that picot
37:04
Stitch Okay so there is
37:11
your edging okay it's as simple as that so now we're just going to work our way around we're
37:17
going to pick up three more beads this is really simple guys and I hope that
37:23
this project isn't intimidating and you you will try it because once you get the hang of it
37:28
there's a lot of variations you can do so I'm going right in beside the last one that I did here on the back my
37:35
Stitch is going to be right in the vicinity you'll find that right next to it okay see
37:41
just like in there and then I'm going to angle it again push it through both
37:46
backings okay up and out
37:55
pull my thread and there's my next row you can see how
38:00
easily that comes together okay so let's do some more let's do a
38:08
few more rows of this
38:15
I'm sure our seed beads down and the reason I push
38:20
they always end up falling off on me I push them into the thread so we're
38:25
going to do the same thing we're going to go inside the last one that we did an angle
38:31
our needle
38:44
just make sure I'm in the right position towards the neighbor for me there we go
38:52
and there's our third row and we're just going to work our way around
38:59
putting that edging on
39:05
a little bit okay
39:19
and same thing at an angle up and through
39:27
okay thank you Rose I appreciate that so much
39:32
honey you're such a good designer that means a lot coming from you all are beautiful designers I have to
39:39
say so that's the basic on that okay I think
39:45
you guys probably have that down I don't need to bore you with um doing the whole way around on that
39:52
piece could you back it with another cab and make it double-sided using a
39:57
complimentary color for the Pico Stitch absolutely Terry your brilliant
40:03
oh my gosh that would be so fun please do that and I want I want pictures
40:09
thank you Bonnie okay so now that we have our Stitch along the edge you would have done the whole edge of
40:15
course once that is done looking at this and this is what your backside
40:23
just tacked onto your backing everything's nice and secure everything's covered up
40:30
to get a nice like lace type appearance on the edge with your picot but now we want a hanger
40:37
we want to be able to a bale for lack of Adventure I was saying hey a male we
40:43
want to bail on our piece so on this one I just did a simple row of 11 0's again
40:49
this you could go in and use your eight O's and a bigger uh make a bigger bail for you
40:56
whatever you like but I'm just going to take this thread that I have here
41:03
and I'm going to make a knot at the end
41:09
okay I'm just gonna make it and just like we did at the beginning
41:17
and we're just going to trim it just to leave right a little bit below that knot
41:24
our needle
41:34
the right side that threaded through there
41:40
so and what we're going to do you want to find where you want the top
41:45
to be okay so to me it's easy for me to look at the way the snowflake is and
41:51
there's the the one stem of it points straight up I'm going to use that as my top Center
41:57
so if that's my top Center I'm going to go just to the right of that
42:02
okay and I'm again we're going to use that angle technique and I'm going to go everything that we
42:09
do with this um Veil as far as the stitches and stuff will be hidden inside your picot Stitch
42:15
okay so I'm just going to go in an angle here right around my row where my picot is
42:24
and I'm going to go in through there make sure I'm not too low
42:29
through there and I'm angling through both backings and my needles coming up at an angle out
42:36
of that line of Eco okay and we're just going to pull that
42:43
through and there's a little tiny thread hanging there from your knot you can trim that
42:48
when you're done so I'm just gonna add Let's see we did how many did I do up here two four
43:01
chains like that so let's do let's just do six six
43:09
one two I'm just gonna use the purple
43:19
eat and
43:30
then 12. 15.
43:37
15 and 16. depends on how long you want your bail to be
43:43
um as to how many beads you're going to put on again if you use the eights you'd use less beads
43:50
um unless you wanted a really long Bale so our beads are on now we're going to do
43:56
the same thing we're going to go to Quick Set we're going to go to the left of this way so we have our beads coming out
44:05
our string coming out to the right now we're going to go to the left and we're going to go in through the front not in
44:11
through the front of our flat Stitch but in through the front of the picot Stitch
44:17
okay because we want it to kind of be centered here so we're going to go through that
44:22
at an angle we're angling backward now and we're grabbing the pillow on
44:28
obviously and going through where the first Stitch is so we don't see much
44:36
on that okay
44:43
now this one's sitting more toward the front if you wanted to be more toward the back just bring your threads up
44:48
through there
44:56
It's a larger belt but so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to go take that thread
45:02
and I'm gonna go back up through sorry I was pulling my
45:07
clothes the ultra suede and the Pelt again sorry
45:14
I was reading comments there guys I'm gonna come out in an angle right in front of the bead the last bead on my
45:22
bow okay so it's coming up back up through there okay
45:30
guys you can just purchase I got my cup chain at Hobby Lobby Michael's has it anywhere like that
45:36
we have it on the roll so so we're back up in front of that bead
45:42
and what I'm going to do is I'm going to go back up through all of these seed beads because I don't just want one
45:47
thread going through these little bit just to be nice and secure so I'm gonna pull that
45:55
just like so and it's snugging down and I'm going to continue going through all the seed
46:00
beads that I put on for the mail going back to there and sometimes when it gets so snug you kind of have to move
46:07
your needle around um to get it to go where it needs to go
46:14
there we go and we're not going through all of them at one time
46:24
doing it and a lot of times if it's too snug you have to pull your Needle Rock
46:29
it back and forth I have
46:34
this this last bead so I'm just going to crack that off right now guys but you
46:40
get the idea sometimes you have seed beads that have smaller groups than them
46:45
and you can't get as many threads through them that's what happened there
46:51
so I'm just going to continue through my seed beat
47:07
okay and then we're going to come down through that last one and we're going to go down into the backing
47:15
that we have there in a month remember apologize down into the backing
47:21
and then out
47:26
through that ultra suede and then that Eco group
47:33
okay so you can see how nice and neat that is on the back how nice and neat it is on the front
47:39
and that's plenty strong enough we're just going to tie it off now we're just going to tie our strand off
47:44
and I usually just wrap it around one of the picot stitches one of the threads
47:49
for that so I can make a nice couple knots I'm just going to knot it
48:02
actually let's do where that's coming out and do that on the other side
48:08
gonna give us a string across see right there if we don't do it on the other side so
48:14
wear your threads coming out that's where you're going to grab onto your picot which makes sense
48:21
okay so
48:30
our thread coming out on the right side
48:39
come on okay so you see where your thread's coming out that's where you just want to
48:45
stay in that vicinity to tie it off okay
48:51
and I'm just going to rethread this quick so basically yeah that's all you're
48:57
doing you're just tying it off with the smoke knot just to um
49:04
stays in place if you want to go through your bell again you can start
49:10
I found that twice is plenty and the bell holds nicely
49:18
going to finish that note ever stop giving me trouble
49:25
that's always the last thing is that there's always a lot of things
49:36
there we go and you're just gonna knot that
49:43
do that twice and cut it and that's all she wrote guys we talked that in 50
49:49
minutes can you I taught that in 15 minutes I didn't know how that was gonna go worked out well here is your finished
49:57
piece pretty back pretty front makes a
50:02
gorgeous pendant again if you want to make them a little smaller you can certainly scale everything down
50:09
in this email without caption yes I you must not have caught that but he did say
50:14
you do not have to use cup chain you can just use seed beads you have silver seed beads you want to get kind of the same
50:21
effect you could use that thank you Julie thank you Maria you could use that kind of silvery coated bead or if you
50:28
didn't even want that effect you could just start with your seed beans I've done pieces like that
50:34
um here's one that I did was a peach in the middle of it and I
50:39
just started with seed beans I didn't put any cupcake so you can you can do
50:44
this around any shape it doesn't have to be a perfectly round item
50:51
oh honey don't worry about it Terry no problem but it can be any sheep item that you can do this technique with and
50:58
you can see that's some of the glitter vinyl that I found at Hobby Lobby that I used on the back of that one
51:05
so yeah there's a lot of options with this guys please the sky's the limit and please if you do this I want to see
51:12
photos guys I can't wait so I'm going to turn my camera around here again this may take a moment bear with me
