10:16
three yards a hemp um and whether it's a sun butterfly or daisy
10:21
not sure at this point whatever okay it's going to be in there everything you need and i decided to
10:27
give you a couple of yards of wildfire um color may be very you know
10:33
different but it'll always match so don't get your panties in a pinch if it's not
10:39
exactly this okay i'm giving it to you okay it doesn't be
10:45
harsh and as a bonus you're gonna get the baby loom too because you can't have the mama without the baby right
10:51

10:57
so stinking beautiful it is gorgeous so beautiful one of my favorites
11:03
yeah you could do a couple different things you can make rings you could do an anklet you have the beads um the tutorial a
11:10
couple of them live here on the youtube channel if you follow the awareness cuff
11:16
instructions you'll be getting to the same point but you don't get those beads

14:41
she is going to be doing a demonstration on how to make those amazing earrings
14:46
and in the meantime um let's see let's take a look again at the um
14:53
at the april project it was so cool so there are two kits for that so listen
14:58
what's really cool about the course is that when you there's all kinds of perks first of all
15:05
so like when you join the subscription program it's like you become an automatic vip member so for the rest of
15:12
the year you literally save 20 off of all of your purchases that does not
15:17
include the course because that's already priced at a really fabulous um deal
15:22
but that is on all of your other jewel loom products and so um yeah so there's two of those
15:29
left and i have literally videotaped all the step
15:34
outs they're in the super cool course they live on the jewel loom school platform and once you buy that then i
15:41
put you into the course so but okay trish is back yes i'm back everything good
15:48

16:24
it happens okay i am i'm removing myself i love you all i will be right here in the background monitoring the situation okay
16:32
sounds great thanks george bye paula i saw your question out there
16:38
earlier how did you come up with pink poodle well i don't know if you can hear the little toenails behind me right now
16:45
i actually have uh two standard poodles they're the big ones one's 70 pounds and
16:50
one's 55 pounds arwen and kaylee and yup you can hear it now um so
16:58
my name came from that as well as pink's my favorite color so it wasn't too brilliant but it's it
17:04
works it works so okay guys i'm gonna turn my camera around real quick here i don't want to make you too seasick but
17:10
you know we gotta do it i'm gonna close my lens clap cap real quick so i don't want to make anybody sick
17:20
okay let's get this to refocus go up a little bit we go
17:28
go looking pretty good um so what we're going to be making today
17:34
guys if you saw the picture for it we're actually going to be making what i'm calling the wood the red queen earrings
17:41
and we're using these gorgeous hexagon hexagon beads that jules has in her shop
17:46
right now and these gorgeous towel beads and i don't know if you can make it out guys but those
17:53
black beads have the gorgeous red striations in them
17:58
and it just fits so well with this whole design so and we're going to be using some 11-0
18:04
seed beads so it's really uh basic and we're going to use some complementary beautiful glass on the
18:11
bottom we'll get to that but it's a pretty easy project but i did try something new this time
18:19
and i actually ran beads straight down the i did didn't put them on ahead of time
18:25
but i read seed beads right down the hem on it and it seems like it's staying on there
18:31
pretty good and i just felt like i wanted the whole thing trimmed out and not have like pieces missing that didn't
18:37
have trim so i'm going to teach you how to do that so hopefully you won't enjoy it but
18:43
let's get work worked up here so
18:49
i'm down here here's my belly down this way guys and i'm gonna put my rod in
18:55
to my original and i'm going to give it justice push it into my tummy and just give it a slight flex
19:01
and pop my rod in there okay you can see how that is
19:06
and this is a simple um warp you only have put you only use two
19:15
excuse me you don't only have two warps and they're going to be eight pieces of
19:20
a part okay so you're going to put it in your first um
19:27
lane one of these um i can never think of this word amber always gives it to me but um
19:34
one of these um oh joan where are you in amber one of these
19:40
grooves that's the word groove guys and then you leave eight spaces and then
19:45
we'll put the other warp into the ninth okay so it's as simple as this we're just
19:50
gonna put it into one of the grooves and i'm going to eyeball it as i go down
19:57
here and just kind of keep it in the vicinity of where i put the other one okay
20:03
then i'm going to turn it over and i'm gonna wrap around the knob
20:08
that's on the back and then come up top here and i'm gonna count i want to leave eight so there's one two
20:15
three four five six seven eight and we're gonna put it in
20:21
the ninth one so i'm gonna leave my finger there because
20:27
i'm old and i need to have guidance it's nothing else so
20:32
so as you can see we're leaving eight spaces there and we're gonna come up here to the top and we're gonna do the same thing one two three four
20:41
six seven eight and put it in the ninth okay and same thing i'm gonna turn it over
20:47
and don't grab onto that bar guys because that'll mess your tension up big time when you're going to take your rod out
20:52
and i just usually wrap around two or three times and i keep my finger on top of that
20:59
on top of the hem can still stay nice and taut as i run
21:06
the end of the hemp underneath and i bring it around
21:12
and tie a loop once i push this up underneath
21:17
i have so much better luck doing this with hemp than i do wildfire but wildfire does look so pretty when you
21:23
use it on projects it just really there's nothing there
21:29
basically except the beads sorry guys i'm going off the
21:34
the uh out of the camera range there okay so we put one knot in and i'm gonna go ahead and put one more just for
21:42
good measure and i have my knot on this side guys okay so you don't want to put
21:47
it back behind here because if it slips down or something like that it'll give you a
21:53
slack in your warps and that's one thing you do not want to have
22:00
okay so i'm just going to tie that and there we go nice and snug in there
22:08
so that is our our warps and now what we're going to do is i'm basically going to work backwards
22:15
from when i put my rod in i'm going to push the bottom of this into my tummy
22:20
just slightly and i'm going to flex this just slightly you don't want to flex it too much
22:26
and just pop your rod out now if you have problems getting your rod in
22:33
and out there's two things that you can do um once you
22:40
put your rod in and you want to get it out you're going to want to flip it around before you do anything too
22:46
drastic so say if i'm trying to pull up here and i can't get that out i will flip the loom around
22:53
and try out the other side and nine times out of ten you're going to be able to get it out that way now if you're
22:58
trying to put it in and it's not working well for you you just can't seem to get
23:03
it to hook in there you'll just take your pliers onto the end just like so
23:10
and just give it a slight little adjustment don't do anything major just do it by increments guys and that's
23:16
going to give you the best results okay so we have our warps i need probably
23:23
about a wingspan if that for this earring of wildfire i'm
23:29
using black wildfire and .06 that's my favorite so i'm just going to give myself a
23:35
wingspan and what a wingspan is it's from arm tip of arm tip of fingers
23:43
tip of fingers if you spread your arms straight out almost like in a cross position
23:48
okay now let me find my cutters there we go
23:54
so i'll just trim that off and put our little guard back on so i don't
23:59
get that messed up so i'm gonna first off i'm gonna take
24:04
and put my uh wildfire on the left side and what i'm
24:10
gonna do is i'm just gonna take this up and i'm gonna leave myself space because i'm gonna need room because i want to put time tie a
24:17
knot and put my ribbon crimps on okay so i'm just going to do usually what i do is like two loose knots
24:25
just like so and then i have enough there where i'm
24:30
leaving maybe about three four inches there three four inches next to me enough just to weave
24:37
it back in and disguise it if i want to okay so i'm gonna get up to the other end of
24:44
my wildfire here and i'm just going to take my pliers this is something i find myself doing every time
24:50
and i'm just going to squeeze the end of that and it makes it so much easier to
24:56
put the end of your wildfire through the head of your needle to the eye of your
25:02
needle i guess not head i'm using all kinds of fun terms tonight aren't i guys
25:10
can't think of a lot of things but that's what happens when you get up there so i'm just going to try to get this to
25:17
go right into the head of my and this is a seed beading needle i'm using this time guys you don't have to you can use
25:25
a jewelry needle they're wonderful i use them most of the time but since we're doing 11 0's and we're
25:31
doing doing the uh pico stitch i just went ahead and just used the seed
25:38
bead noodle from the beginning and i believe this is a yeah that's a number 10. so that's why
25:45
the eye is so small on it so we're gonna get that put through there hopefully
25:56
it's a job isn't it i'm going to pull it over here guys because i think if i have left less
26:02
pressure i'll be able to do it so what's everybody talking about here
26:08
email the one okay and you'll just laugh at me because i need laughs
26:15
it's pressure that's pressure
26:26
all right we got it through now guys just pull it the rest of the way before i get too excited there we go okay we've
26:33
got it see i told you too much pressure so what we're going to start out with guys is we're going to start out with
26:39
two of our gorgeous uh black tile beads
26:45
and i'm just going to put two of those onto my needle
26:51
and the way i have them guys is because then when i put the needle up underneath i want them to be able to
26:58
put the needle through the back end and we're going to leave the front end is going to be open so then that way when
27:03
we go to we go back through to attach the second part
27:09
it'll be both sides will be the ones that we have available not two opposite sides so always make sure you're going
27:15
through those back holes there and so i just fed my needle under there and i push my tile beads down
27:24
and then i just push them up between
27:30
and then glide my needle across the warps okay
27:37
through the beads all right so i have this set you might say a little bit wide but
27:43
that's just how i found that i liked it because when i did it just slightly thinner i didn't like the way that my
27:50
towel beads sat okay with another only doing like eight wide total
27:56
so now we're gonna go back through and we're gonna go through those top holes and i'm just going to take my needle
28:02
and i'm going to put it through the first hole here and then in through the second one
28:08
and keep in mind guys when you're doing your rows your first row is always it jiggles around a little bit at least
28:14
that's been my experience um but it will walk in it'll get sturdy
28:19
once you kind of get everything where it needs to be so see now that's our first row and that's nice and
28:26
snug in there it's not moving around it's not flip-flopping so we're going to go up over the top and
28:33
it's going to be even more secure we're going to go over the right hand warp there and we're
28:40
going to run our needle through the beads and over the other work
28:46
and a crust and that's what locks it in for you guys you have to have that sandwich
28:52
shall i say where you're sandwiching your beads in between those threads because it's not going to lock in nicely
28:58
for you if you don't okay so our next bead is one of our
29:04
beautiful hexagon beads and these these i believe jules has on the site right has uh on the site right now and she has
29:12
them in uh multiple colors they're just gorgeous guys just love them so we're
29:17
just going to take again we're doing that bottom set of holes
29:22
so when i push that down i'm going to pull this underneath it's going to be laying exactly where i
29:28
want it to be okay my i didn't clean my bead sticky mat
29:34
before i started so it's not quite as sticky as it usually is but so i've got that i've pushed that up
29:41
underneath you can see how that's coming up through and i'm going to go over that warp
29:46
through that bead and over the other one and we're going to make our little
29:52
bead sandwich basically okay
29:58
so you can see now same thing the front of that's kind of dipping down and that's what we want so we can get
30:05
go through the next holes with ease so i'm going to go underneath again
30:11
go through those holes oops and pull
30:17
through
30:24
and then back up over the top and through
30:30
and we're basically like i said this is a very simple technique it's only using a few
30:35
different beads which is nice but it gives you a nice impact all right so there are
30:42
our two tiles and our hexagon and we're going to do two more tiles
30:49
same thing going in on those bottom holes
30:58
how's everybody doing i would be all thumbs too if i had to do this one
31:04
well i'm supposed to be at least a semi-pro at this point but who knows
31:09
i do what i can you know thank you i appreciate that bonnie
31:15
so i've pushed those up through and i'm going to take my needle across the top and you can see the metal right
31:22
there between those beads that's what you want to be able to see is the middle of that needle
31:28
and pull it across and lock it in
31:38
yes it it's it it is the black over the red yeah i actually have that listed in the
31:44
description i believe jules the ones that that um i'm using tonight they are
31:50
absolutely gorgeous and i'm not usually a big fan of like black beads but
31:55
i i saw these and i'm like they are screaming to be with those hexagon beads so
32:01
and we're just going to go underneath again here
32:07
pull through could you do this with one millimeter
32:12
leather i'm sure you could paula i'm sure you could that wouldn't be a problem at all
32:24
okay so there we go there's the main frame of our earrings
32:31
just that simple okay so now what we're going to do we're going to start doing our
32:37
picot stitch so what i'm gonna do here guys i like to
32:42
just be able to keep going some people will tie off and then go back in and tie on again and then do the picot i'm not
32:49
about that i'm about keep going keep plugging away so
32:54
i'm gonna go back underneath this top or the the left warp and go through
33:02
those top holes again okay to get across because i'm going to be able to
33:07
do my picot stitch without having it come out easily okay
33:14
so i'm going to go over here and this is coming in underneath as well guys
33:21
all right i actually truthfully i want that to be on top because i want it to look
33:27
really pretty up on top of those warps so we're coming up through the top there and i'm just going to add three 11-0
33:34
seed beads scoochies over so you can see them this color here is gorgeous as well guys
33:40
these seed beads are i believe they're called transparent rainbows i am ruby these are some of my
33:47
favorites they're just gorgeous so i find myself using these a lot
33:53
so we're going to pick up three seed beads and we're going to go into the bottom hole
33:59
of the tila bead and then across
34:07
and pull and that's going to give us our little picot stitch on that side and you give it a little pull and you can see how the
34:14
two beads go on either side and then you have that little a little bump in the middle with the
34:21
three beads absorbs this is actually the 0.5 hemp
34:28
it the yeah it's the 0.5 hem because um with this i wanted to be a little bit
34:34
more delicate and i wasn't all about using the wildfire for the base but you certainly
34:39
could you could use leather you could use the one millimeter as well i'm sure
34:46
but so i put on three more of those seed beads and i'm going in now i'm coming
34:52
out the bottom of the towel bead and i'm gonna go straight across
34:58
on the top hole okay so basically we're wanting to trim
35:04
the edges of the tiva so to do that we have to utilize both of those holes okay
35:09
to get it to balance out right and look nice okay so once you do that you're going to get
35:16
your pico stitch on that side all right and this is the part that i'm going to
35:23
move this in just a little bit more for you guys so you can see this is the part that i was like okay is this going to
35:28
work is this gonna look right because i didn't want just the hem showing which is fine you
35:34
could certainly let the hem show but i thought i'm gonna pick up some 11 0s here
35:41
and see if i can't trim the edge of this um hemp
35:48
so i hooked on three of them actually you know what let me go through
35:54
that bottom hole before i do that guys because it'll it'll set much nicer for us so we want to be able to come out the
36:00
bottom hole of those tila beads before we do the the edging
36:08
so i'm going to cross over to the other side to get over there okay
36:14
then it just flows much nicer that way you don't want it coming up past your picot stitch underneath your
36:21
picot stitch okay so i'm going to pick up three seed beads and i'm always trying to figure out
36:27
something different something unique to do with projects and sometimes it works and sometimes it
36:34
doesn't so you'll always see different things for me
36:39
because i like to like i said i like to have some different items
36:44
so i've got my three on there and you can see how i just guided with my finger as i went through the top hole of that
36:50
hexagon and they're laying on there they're not perfectly
36:56
straight they're just kind of almost look like a little bit of the pico stitch themselves
37:03
so you can see how it pokes out just like the pico stitch does don't ask me how that works but it
37:09
worked so i'm happy with that so we're going to put three more because
37:14
we're on the other side now of that hexagon i'm going to put three more on
37:22
and pull those down and we're just working on top of the project now guys we're not passing our needle underneath
37:28
back and forth or anything like that everything's on top of the project as i'm stitching this trim on okay
37:35
so i put those beads on i pulled them up there i'm going to go through the bottom holes of those tila beads again and now
37:41
you can see why i once wanted to use the seed bead
37:46
needle not only because for the 11's but you're going through and through and
37:52
through your tila beads quite a few times so there's the trim on that side
38:00
so now what we can do and i i'm going to drop down
38:05
just like so i'm just going to go straight down like this now the cord matches
38:11
the hem the wildfire mentions the hem so it doesn't bother me okay if that bothers you you could feed your
38:17
needle down through these seed beads you know if you can manage that and just
38:22
go down through those and tunnel sorry as a frame there you could just tunnel right down through those guys
38:28
and then you would come right back into that hole but i'm fine with um
38:34
the way that i have it with the black wildfire on the black hemp okay
38:41
so now we're gonna do the sides of the hexagon with a um pico stitch and i'm going to put five
38:47
beads on because we have a larger bead here to work with so
38:53
i um you always have to make sure that when you're doing that guy it's like when you're doing a picot stitch you
38:58
have to have an odd amount or it's not going to lay right for you they're not going to pop up with that
39:04
one you know in the middle like so you're going to have to have an odd amount for that so we have four
39:11
there's five
39:16
and i'm just gonna go across into that bottom hole
39:22
and we're just working our way down so you can see that that sticks out a little bit further but i like the way
39:28
that looks if you didn't want it to stick out that far you could certainly just do the
39:34
three but that was my preference so i'm going to pick up five more
39:41
if you can see me over here doing that four and five
39:48
and i came out on the left hand side on the bottom hole of that hexagon view okay and now i'm gonna go back through
39:54
the top
40:01
okay
40:07
so there you go there's your other loop so we need to drop down into that bottom
40:14
hole again because we want to run our seed beads along the length of the hemp again
40:21
so i'm going to zip across drop down into that bottom hole
40:28
and go across and was walking me there for a second
40:33
and then add three more beads and i'm still i'm tightening that up because i want that to be nice and secure
40:39
or thing to look in order okay so we'll pick up
40:44
three more beads 11
40:50
0's and i'm going to push those down
40:57
and then i'm going to go across through the next set of tila beads so i'm going to go across
41:05
the top hole of these two weeds and again we're still running along this the top of the piece
41:13
i really wish i would have got my sticky man to cooperate tonight
41:18
so there you go there's the second set all right
41:25
and now i'm coming out the top i'm going to grab three more because we're going to go back through that hexagon bead
41:33
so we have that edging there okay and i'm dropping those down
41:40
and then through your hexagon bead
41:47
just like so
41:54
all right so that gives you the basic of it and now we need to get down below again we need to get
42:01
down to our tila beads so again you could run your needle through the seed beads that are there or you could just
42:07
let the thread run behind i'm going to let the thread there and
42:12
i'm going to go across the top again and i'm going to finish off by putting my pico stitch onto
42:20
these tile beads
42:26
so we're going to pick up three
42:33
and then go in through the bottom set of holes like so
42:46
and then pick up three more
42:54
and we're going to go through the top set of holes
43:01
you want to make sure when you're going through the tila beads that you don't poke through your um seed beads that are on
43:07
the side because that'll kind of warp the look of your um your pico stitch
43:19
okay so as i pulled that one i'm just giving it a nice little snug snug-a-dew pool
43:24
there so we can get and another thing guys i noticed myself today these kind of went flat on me as i
43:31
was working i just would take my fingers in and just give them a little judge just kind of a little pinch and it
43:38
would put them right back into shape for you okay so there we go
43:44
so now if we do all we have to do is tie off and add our ends
43:51
so what i'm going to do here is i'm going to go back through
43:57
i'm just kind of getting that on the other side for now to the middle of these tile beads okay
44:05
so i see i'm above the warp so i'm gonna go around that warp
44:10
and back through the top of that tila okay and it's getting snug in there no
44:16
kidding there is there's it's getting snug but i'm gonna come through out and through them at the middle there
44:23
okay and you can pull it and pray that you don't break a bunch of
44:29
beads that's usually it is a good trick to use your um
44:34
pliers step for that but i it has come back to bite me before
44:40
so now i'm just going to bring my needle around the strands that are in the center there because i want this to i want to hide
44:46
this knot you know i don't want it just sticking out now the one on the bottom it's not
44:51
really going to bother me because we're going to put ribbon crimps on i'm going to put ribbon over it
44:56
and you really aren't going to see it anyway but i'm trying to get my needle to
45:02
cooperate at this point guys let's see come up through there
45:08
i'm gonna come up through the bottom i believe it's gonna be the easiest way for me to find angle my needle in
45:13
between there there we go
45:21
and then i'm just going to make a little knot no i'm not because i'm over the edge
45:28
there you don't want to do that guys we're gonna pull this so this whole
45:34
it isn't gonna wrap around this edge out here because that's not gonna look nice okay
45:40
here we go
45:46
drop my needle underneath and come up this way and that should work much better
45:53
yes so i'm just going to run my needle back through that loop there and tie that off
46:01
it's rocking like crazy i guess huh here we go
46:07
and just tie that off snugly okay and we'll do one more time i'm just
46:13
going to feed that underneath that seemed to work well like that through
46:26
and then through the loop and snug that knot now when you put your knot in
46:33
a lot of times i'll drop my needle down through once i get my second knot on there and pull it snugly
46:40
to pull it toward the bottom okay because then you're you're not gonna have to worry about seeing it from the
46:47
front it'll set nicer for you okay
46:52
so there's that so i can snip this off now i'm going to turn it over
46:59
if you can see in there guys and i'm going to take my little snippers and just snip that thread as close as i
47:06
can get without snipping anything important let me just do it a little bit tighter
47:12
here my clippers i need to get some new
47:19
trimmers to get these sharpened one to the other and i keep saying that just don't do it so what i'm going to do here
47:25
guys is that the original knot that i tied here i'm going to because it's loose i'm going to pull it out and i'm
47:30
going to tighten that up nicely before i cut it off so we can put our ribbon crimp ends on
47:37
i wanted to kind of sit in there well and be nice and snug
47:44
all right so there's our thread we started with and i'm going to do the same thing i'm just going to wrap it around
47:50
and tie two knots and i'm gonna pull as i'm pulling that i'm pulling it up toward
47:56
those tila beads so it kind of gets disguised in there even though our ribbon's gonna be there
48:02
and all that i still like to disguise them as much as possible okay
48:08
so there we go on through there up and through
48:22
and pull down so now i can sip that one
48:27
so believe it or not guys that's one earring done and we're gonna put or i'm gonna show you how to do your ribbon crimp and how
48:33
to make your dangle from this one um so i will we're
48:38
getting close on time so we're going to go ahead and move forward with that so i'm going to cut off my
48:45
project from the loom and what i like to do guys is when i hold it i hold it with my two
48:51
fingers in the front i'll turn this better so you can see it like so and then i just push in just
48:57
slightly on the loom flex it a little bit and then trim
49:03
so then i don't have like a whiplash effect and it doesn't i don't have to worry
49:08
about it hurting my project or scaring the daylights out of me it just seems to work well for me
49:15
okay so we're just gonna tie these two ends together very simply
49:29
just with two knots don't tighten it up too much because you don't want to warp your
49:35
design you just want it to be snug so you have something to put your
49:40
your ribbon on okay i'm gonna take this little head pin in here and i'm gonna move that knot down
49:47
just a little bit because i wanted to be as snug down there as i can get and just kind of pull
49:55
on that
50:00
i know some weird ways of doing things but it always gets me from point a to point b so
50:06
so here's our little knot on that end and you can put a little bit of glue in it if you would like
50:13
a little gs hypo never hurt anyone and then i'm going to do the same thing
50:20
on this end i'm just going to snip these shorter okay
50:25
maybe give us about four inches or so
50:32
more is better as far as i'm concerned because it's just easier um
50:37
with dexterity for me to have a little bit more um thread to work with the hem or whatever
50:45
all right so i am going to tie that one off as well two knots
50:58
okay and i don't want to work my design here so i'm being very careful how i'm tying it
51:10
okay
51:15
so now i'm just going to put my ribbon on i'm going to move my mat here and i'm going to do it the easy way
51:20
today guys we're going to use the hot glue gun but you can use any kind of glue you can use super glue e6000 gs
51:26
hypo cement whatever is your glue preference i'm just going to take some quarter inch
51:33
ribbon here and cut a small piece it doesn't really matter on the size of
51:38
your room because like i usually cut mine in half anyway and so you don't really see too much of it
51:47
so i'm going to take these two ends and i'm gonna kind of hold them down pull them down straight because that's
51:54
how i want them to lie and i'm gonna take my ribbon and lay it up
52:00
so it's gonna be underneath my piece i'm just going to take my glue gun see if it's hot yet it might not be
52:07
it's not so we'll use gs height see i was all excited to use my hot glue
52:12
and that's how it goes so we'll use the gs hypo we just have to wait for that to come on up for us
52:19
warm it in your hand that seems to work the very best
52:25
and i'm getting you can see i'm getting that little dab of glue on the end of it
52:33
all right so we'll put some of that down there if you squeeze it too much guys you're
52:39
gonna have a really really hard time getting the cap back on it because it's just how it's made
52:46
it's really not made to be squeezed it's too much all right
52:52
that is potent stuff though okay and i'm just holding that down i put the glue underneath and i'm pushing
52:59
the knot sort of into the glue there just to kind of get it secure
53:04
and then i'm going to take a little bit more over top
53:11
i like the hot glue only because it dries quick and i can at least get the ribbon
53:17
secured onto it and then i can add in other glues if i want to it takes the gs hypo and the super glues
53:25
a little bit longer to cure so
53:30
i always like to just put a little dab of this just to kind of hold everything
53:37
in place for me and then i can take my
53:43
ribbon and this is never graceful for me doing these ribbon crimps but the job gets done
53:49
so i just hold on to the piece and i wrap my ribbon and the base and i always like to use a
53:56
coordinating ribbon because if some of it does stick out then it looks nice with the project you
54:02
know okay so just push that down on there
54:09
and what i like to do is fold my ribbon back
54:15
so it's like halfway across because then you're not going to have any raw edges that you've cut
54:21
if you know what i mean what i'm saying here guys is put your glue like halfway across the top here not the
54:27
whole way so you can cut it in the middle and it'll
54:32
be finished edges for you okay there we go
54:39
and i like to pull it in just slightly smaller than the actual base of the piece
54:45
just to kind of hold things and that way then it seems to fit nicely within the um
54:53
crimps then all right so let's get that a little
54:58
trimmy poo in the middle and then what i'm going to do here guys is
55:05
just trim this ribbon i'm going to trim it in half because i don't want a whole lot of it showing
55:12
so i'm just going to go in here i want to make sure i have enough of a secure hold in there
55:22
all right and then just go back and cut that
55:27
ribbon in half
55:34
there we go and i like to get it straight sometimes it takes a couple snips but
55:39
the straighter you can get it the nicer that your ribbon curve will sit on the end for you
55:44
okay and that's i have doll scissors of course
55:49
there we go okay so now make sure that's still on there good the glues holding it are not
55:55
still good and i'm gonna take my favorite pliers these are my favorite that i like to use
56:01
to put my ribbon crimp ends on and i just put them in the jaws of my
56:08
plier like so and then feed the ribbon
56:13
through i want to make sure this is all even before i go any further see a little bit of string
56:19
still sticking from the ribbon and i don't lock it
56:27
so there we go we'll put that in the jaws of our pliers and fit that over top of our ribbon
56:34
center it the best you can there because if there's going to be a little bit showing we want it to be even
56:40
as even as possible anyway okay
56:49
and i'm just squeezing back and forth on that you could use if you used wildfire guys
56:54
you could just sew some 80c beads on the end and do one of the slide um
57:00
ends on it if you wanted to um i wanted to use the hemp though so i
57:07
decided to just go with this route so let's cut another little piece and do the top and then i'll show you how to do
57:14
the little head pin for the bottom
57:19
same thing
57:26
how we doing you could also do the selvage technique while the earrings are still on the loom
57:32
and then wrap it with the ribbon yeah you could certainly do that it would probably be easier jules
57:37
honestly but you know me i like to go the hard way around
57:45
that's my fave that's my poor husband he says i complicated q-tip
57:53
so he always says that oh gosh don't want
57:58
that we're gonna put in a little bit on that
58:04
losing it guys there we go
58:10
boy you're fighting me today i need you here we go that's only because jules is on here
58:20
it's gonna cause me troubles while jewels is on you know
58:30
yeah that would be a definitely an easier way to do it if you wanted to do it right when you were on the loom but
58:36
i've always just done it like this it's however whatever gets you there guys
58:50
almost there yeah it does give a nice clean look i do
58:56
have to agree to you on that rosalinda um the slide class give a nice clean look it's just all on what you you know
59:03
what you prefer like
59:09
i've done both projects you know it just depends
59:16
on what mood i'm in i guess basically okay so i'm going to do the same thing here
59:21
i'm just going to cut this and find our other ribbon from bend
59:30
here
59:36
slide that over
59:41
i am a person that really likes fibers and materials and
59:47
ribbons and sorry silks so if a little bit of it's showing that doesn't bother me at all
59:53
you know i kind of like the the look of that
59:58
but everyone has their preferences so there we go so now we just have to make our little
1:00:06
um headpin for the bottom and very simply guys and if you haven't seen these
1:00:11
you've got to run over and get some of these these are i think um
1:00:16
jules is calling them gem are they gem cut is that what you're calling them jewels
1:00:22
you were honestly in a sassy sexy mood when you designed these
1:00:27
these are absolutely stunning guys and she has them nine by six gem cut beads look at that
1:00:34
and they she has some in such beautiful colors they're gorgeous so i just took a head pin here and has a
1:00:40
decorative item on the end of it i just put one of those gorgeous gem cut
1:00:46
beads a spacer and then i pulled out um a
1:00:52
couple bicones from the czech glass mix this is the black czech glass mix that jules has
1:00:59
and i just put that on the top like so
1:01:06
okay and then i'm just going to use my one step loop over here keep things simple
1:01:19
okay and then i'm just going to close this loop down because i'm going to
1:01:26
put this on with a um a small jump ring because i want it to
1:01:31
be able to move around and with this just this loop it's not
1:01:37
going to move around as freely i like a lot of movement with the earrings i i
1:01:43
make so i'm just going to use a little um
1:01:48
um oblong jump ring here and just open that up
1:01:58
oval is a better word for it on most days and just hook that on
1:02:12
like so make sure my jump ring is closed there we go
1:02:19
and just putting your wire on guys and that's it that's all there is to her
1:02:32
so this is the one we just made here and then here's our other ones
1:02:38
so it's kind of like i said it's a really simple concept but i like the edges of it because it kind of gives you
1:02:44
that lacy feeling you know just kind of fun
1:02:50
so let's bring jules back in here come on back in girlfriend
1:02:55

1:03:17
everybody so this earring has the slight whoa yeah the
1:03:23
slide clasp and i do like the way those look but yeah um but they're also
1:03:29
more money right so like if you're making if you're making a lot you know what you could do to fancy up those um
1:03:36
those ribbon crimps is put some flatbacks
1:03:42
why have i not thought of this before i don't know who are you pink poodle i know
1:03:47
what's wrong with you get some rhinestones girl some flatbacks and yeah that would be
1:03:54
really hot and it'll it'll take those like totally up a notch oh yes
1:04:00
yeah yeah totally i know it's so funny you should say that because my um one of
1:04:05
my good friends here in town she has two little twin girls and they their nickname for me is bling bling ah
1:04:14
yeah well i totally yeah i totally want to see that i don't know sadly i guess
1:04:21

we did do in april i was i was uh you know struggling with that
1:04:46
whole idea of wrapping it around those side you
1:04:52
know in between the pearls and everything so it's such a great idea to take the 11 o's and it's just like
1:04:57
you're lacing it and it's free for all doesn't need to be perfect no i mean you know in fact you could have just like
1:05:04
even done snaking around the cord it would have been awesome you could go around them you could go down through
1:05:10
them again there's a lot you could do with it i just you know that's the basic
1:05:15
and just fly oh fly with it guys no they're so sexy and cool that hexagon is like
1:05:22
amazing i can't even stand up so i was so impressed and then when i pulled those tile beads out that had those
