3:41
it's so lovely to see you all I look forward to this night so much so I'm gonna switch camera cameras here guys
3:47
and we're gonna go head down and get started because we have a bit of a project tonight as usual hi Maria
3:54
okay good Patty I'm glad so it'll just be black for a moment guys but don't
4:00
worry you haven't lost me it's just switching my camera
4:11
slow but sure she will get here there it is okay guys so of course we're
4:18
going to be using this beautiful gorgeous Loom and I can't say enough
4:24
good about this Loom this is just a beautiful work of art that Jules has
4:30
created for for silver silk and for all of us to enjoy here
4:35
um perfect for the silver silk as well as any kind of fibers sorry silks
4:42
anything like that and we're showing tonight you can actually use your soft Flex on it as well very easily
4:48
so that'll be fun and here is another look at our project on the overhead
4:53
camera here so we are let me kind of just kind of walk you through this guys before we get
4:59
started um we're using our silver silk on the outside this is the gorgeous color that
5:06
Neely so graciously sent me this is called Lotus so it is absolutely jaw dropping so we
5:13
will need to get that out because we're going to be using it but that is just
5:19
just and I'm a pink fan anyway so that kills me um we're going to be using our pink
5:25
Wildfire which you can find with Joel's and then I'm going to be using soft Flex
5:31
in the pink redocracite color this is perfect it couldn't have gone
5:37
any better with our project for tonight we're also going to be using
5:43
um six millimeter fire polish we're gonna need 20 of those we're going to need nine of our gorgeous uh triangle
5:51
beads and we're going to need 32 of the four millimeter fire polish okay so and then
5:59
we're going to need our I just have a charm for in the middle uh there and
6:06
um your side ends I'm going to teach you tonight how to put slide ends on to Silver soak okay
6:13
simple simple simple but fun so this is going to be what we're going to end up
6:19
doing is doing a technique tonight where we're actually stringing beads onto the soft Flex as we're warping it so we're
6:26
going to go ahead and get started if everybody's ready to do this beautiful project I know I am
6:33
I'm looking forward to it here so our soft Flex or our uh silver soak is going
6:39
to go on after our soft Flex okay guys so the first thing we're gonna do and I
6:44
leave mine on the roll I leave my uh soft Flex on the roll when I do this is we're going to feed
6:50
20 of the six millimeter fire polish onto our soft Flex before we even put it
6:56
or start to warp it okay so it's just going to be just like stringing we're just gonna put these on
7:04
here and you can do any variation of color as always guys I just thought that
7:09
the the pink soft Flex had to be featured and I thought the the clear beads just did a beautiful job of that
7:16
so there is two and I'll try to be as quick as possible
7:22
with doing this and we're just stringing on
7:29
so far we have four
7:40
seven
7:47
nine and ten and then we're going to put 10 more on
7:58
Vicky says 20 you're pushing my counting abilities again
8:04
oh so we have two four six
8:10
eight ten eleven I just want to make sure we get the right amount
8:16
12. 13.
8:23
foreign
8:44
19. and 20.
8:52
okay so I'm just going to push those down like I said I'm just going to leave them on my roll for now guys I'm going
8:58
to turn my loom over and I'm going to tie off my saw Flex here on the bottom
9:05
just to make sure we have a good hold with that I'm going to switch this up just a hair so you can see me doing that
9:13
so I'm just going to tie it like we would tie on our hemp or anything like that
9:18
um wildfire onto our looms I'm just using one of the underneath pegs to do
9:24
that and these are really nice because they have the nice really wide teeth on the back so you could actually flip your
9:30
loom over and if you had a very wide um material that you wanted to use
9:37
ribbons or laces or anything like that you could certainly use it for that as well
9:43
okay and I'm just going to do like a double or triple knot here try to get that to take hold pretty well for me
9:49
there and we think we've got that and we're going to have the pressure on it as we
9:54
uh work it anyway so I'm just flipping my loom over here and we're just going to lay that into
10:02
one of our grooves here on our Loom and I'm going to feed on 10 of our beads
10:10
okay so there's two here we go with the counting Mickey of six
10:19
eight and ten okay and I'm just making my fire
10:25
polish a mess here let's Scoops that out of the way okay so just double check myself here
10:31
two
10:38
okay so after we get these beads fed on the ten of them they're gonna be in on
10:44
this strand here okay foreign we're just going to take it and warp it
10:51
just as we always do but these beads are going to just be sitting on here for us for later
10:57
all right so I'm just going to feed that into let's go just over a couple because I want to be able to get my silver silk
11:04
around it and I'm just going to lay that in and work as always and I'm just going to
11:11
take that down and then wrap it around the teeth here on the bottom I like to
11:16
do that with this Loom and then just lay it in right beside it
11:21
and then we're gonna we're just going over we're just using side by side
11:27
um grooves here okay and I'm just gonna slide down the rest of my fire polish
11:34
just like so and then I'm just gonna lay that into
11:40
the groove up here right beside it okay do you see how we're doing there guys
11:47
they're just free and flowing on there at this point okay so all we're going to do now is we're just going to lay this
11:54
down and around and then tie this off simple as that
11:59
when you look at it you might think that might be a little difficult but it's actually very simple
12:06
to do okay so we're just going to do the same
12:11
thing I'm going to turn this to my direction so I can actually see what I'm doing and I'm just going to tie a couple knots
12:20
just to make sure everything is nice for me to be able to
12:26
blue okay I know you can't see this but I assume
12:32
you girls all know how to do the knots
12:38
if not if you don't if not you don't I can't even say something I was gonna do
12:44
a pun but my brain's not good enough tonight for that kind of stuff
12:50
okay Vicky says I just finished a double wrap bracelet on the silver so Gloom I went all the way around girlfriend post
12:59
it if you have not posted it post it in our Loom group and guys don't forget if you
13:04
are not a member of um jewelry making with the jewel loom uh group head on over and
13:12
sign up or you know come on in and join and always check out jules's YouTube
13:20
channel she has a great YouTube channel where all of everyone's demos that are
13:25
on her team loves okay so here we go so now all we have to
13:32
Simply do is we're going to frame out this beautiful um soft Flex with this absolutely
13:38
stunning silver soak okay so I'm just gonna lay my silver soak in
13:44
there just give myself a little bit on the end I don't want to waste this because this is so fabulous
13:50
and the nice thing about this it just holds that right in there with this ball chain in it it just makes it so sturdy
13:57
in there now you can push it down in further so your warps are going to be
14:05
approximately at the same height but keep in mind guys this has the beads on it so it will droop just a little bit
14:11
below but once you get the first you know few rows in it'll straighten itself
14:16
out and then what I'm doing up on on the end here is I'm just going around again I'm conserving my beautiful silver silk
14:25
and then just bringing that in just like so I mean it's already pretty right
14:33
so let's cut our silver silk
14:39
and put this back up here for a later project here I have my four millimeter fire
14:47
polish laying here and we're gonna do rows
14:54
um of those to hold our beads that we have
15:00
strung on already so what I'm going to do here is I'm going to start from this end looming
15:06
so I want to push my beads up to the top so when I'm ready to bring them down
15:12
I have um the room to do that okay and I just
15:17
threaded my jewel loom needle and we are going to just tie that on to
15:23
the leftmost warp as we always do okay
15:32
so let's make a couple knots in that if not they're all there's always blue
15:37
tape it is posted in the group everyone liked my tying a knot in the middle oh
15:43
yeah yeah I did see that that's gorgeous yeah
15:49
I did see that see it's just sometimes it's a non-functional brain my friend
15:55
so all we're gonna do here guys as you can see we're just using three of those across but first we're going to put on
16:02
our seed beads you don't want to forget that so let me get our 11 0's because we're going to need that to help hold on
16:09
our slide class later so we want to make sure and put our 11s on
16:17
so let's see we're going to need I can't remember it's two or three per
16:22
three I believe okay so we're gonna put nine across
16:28
because we have three lanes here we're going to be filling in so we need nine eleven O's
16:35
three
16:46
six seven and nine I have to have a lot of
16:51
concentration with the 11 0's guys
17:06
okay keep your tools out of the way as we always say do as I say not as I do
17:13
okay so let's get I'm gonna get this string out of the way because I don't want the one that's
17:19
um hanging here to get in front of my um thread that I'm using to left okay so
17:26
what I'm going to do here guys is I'm just going to pop three beads in each lane
17:34
I'm going to work my way across here we'll start with this right the right
17:40
lane we're going to be calling them Lanes tonight apparently I believe
17:46
is only two that fit over there I can't remember no all right we're doing this the three
17:54
yeah see when I do these things and it only takes me a day to Forget You Know and
17:59
then I'm just going to come across up over the top and we're going to lock this in around the warps okay and I'm
18:06
going to go through this a few times and what I'm actually going to do is I come back across here I'm going to take my
18:12
needle through thus the um silver silk because I want to lock this in very well
18:19
because I'm going to weave back through my soft Flex yeah the first row is always fiddling
18:26
um I'm going to weave back through my soft Flex so it's not really going to be what's holding the bracelet together per
18:34
se so I want I mean it is but it'll be weaved back in you'll you'll
18:41
understand but for now I'm telling you just put your um needle through your silver silk and
18:46
use it as an anchor better Anchor there you know and we're going to go through it
18:53
two or three times just to make sure everything is secure all right so I'm
18:58
just going to go back here and go through my silver soak again
19:08
different angle my needle through there and we're just going to use that again
19:14
as an anchor guys okay and then back we're going to go
19:21
through this side as well
19:27
and sometimes if you want to you have to get between the ball chain in there so it might take you a little bit of moving
19:33
around and getting your needle right where you want it but
19:39
um it will work this is
19:44
okay I have a lot of thread tonight apparently all right and we're just going to go
19:51
back through again and then we're ready to start laying in our first row of our
19:56
four millimeter fire polish here right there we go we're good and locked
20:03
in there coming through
20:09
okay so now we're done with the seed beads for now until we get to the other end we're going to pick up three of our four
20:16
millimeter fire polish okay I'm going to scooch this up a little bit to make sure you guys can see this and we're just going to loom as usual
20:24
we're going to drop the beads down onto our wildfire
20:29
shuttle learning will cross underneath and then pull that strand under
20:35
and catching on everything here and
20:40
bring those around and pop them up between our warps
20:47
up and over and always on top of the works make sure your needle is gliding across
20:54
the top guys and I am not going through the silver
20:59
silk for all of this I'm just going to continue and do go around it like we normally would say if we were using hemp
21:06
okay so I'm just going to stitch as usual here and then I'm going to slide
21:12
two of our six millimeters down just like so I'm going to pick up three
21:18
more uh four millimeters
21:24
and go in front of that now that's what's locking in these beads we're not
21:30
stitching through these beads now Jules did teach um one of her courses where she did with
21:38
pearls um where she put them on and that's where it got the idea from she had put them on
21:44
the strands and then she locked in the pearls with hexagon beads and things like that but this is a little different
21:51
because we're not locking them in per se by putting you know sewing
21:56
through them but the four millimeter holds them in place quite well actually so
22:01
and we're just going to continue up with that and I see oh we're locked and Crystal loaded yes ma'am I always am
22:09
I love me some crystals and some fire polish fire polish is my besides the crystals
22:17
we better not name which are pretty much my favorites fire
22:22
polish is right up there with those so just gorgeous and Jules has such a
22:29
beautiful selection very drool worthy so we're going to continue that I slid two more beads down
22:36
and we're just gonna lock it in again with our three four millimeter fire polish
22:45
okay and we're going to do five sets of this
22:53
on each side of the triangle beads all right we're just going to keep working
22:59
slide down to more of our fire polish just as simple as that guys
23:10
again the four millimeters
23:17
and it really comes together actually pretty quick because I mean you remember you're not even stitching in some of the
23:23
beads so it's gonna kind of make things work up pretty pretty quickly for you
23:33
okay
23:38
two more down so we have this is our fourth set
23:51
we have slid down all right
24:01
okay um what is in this month's kit um this month's kids and I don't have it
24:09
up with me of course um is actually a blur to me right now
24:16
um I am so sorry for that but I did receive it I just have not
24:21
um taken a look at it for a little while and the way my brain functions that's all it takes but
24:28
um maybe I don't know if Amber could look that up maybe for us and on the jewel loon
24:36
or maybe in kajabi and let us know if not that's fine we can always post it later
24:41
so I slid down our fifth set
24:49
it would be September yeah it's it's September because um October's haven't hasn't come out yet
24:55
she she sends it where how does that work
25:03
I'm getting that in the Magical Mystery Box flip-flopped in my head right now
25:09
it's like I said I am not 100 tonight guys unfortunately so okay so we just
25:14
locked in our fifth set so now we move on to our triangle beads and all I did
25:20
here is I just flip-flopped them to make a nice center for the bracelet so we're
25:26
going to start out with dark light dark and these are just phenomenal and always
25:31
keep in mind guys when you're stitching these on what I like to do is before I put each one on my needle I just slide
25:37
my needle in both holes and make sure that it's going to be completely functional whenever I go to
25:45
lock everything in okay so that's just a little trick check your
25:51
check your holes on your two hole beads once you get bit so many times you'll
25:56
you'll do it just makes life a little easier
26:01
and I am putting these all in the back holes just like so okay so they're kind
26:10
of hanging down for the front because we're going to go back in and lock that front end once we get this first hole
26:17
locked in okay
26:23
we have something beautifully fall this month I know that but I can't remember
26:29
exactly
26:37
okay I'm just supporting these triangle beads with my fingers underneath
26:43
and working my needle across on top of the warps like we usually do
26:50
not so we have successfully locked in one side of our triangle beads and you can
26:57
see if I tap these down sorry they're just kind of hanging down now so that gives us the opportunity to
27:04
go ahead and lock in those uh front holders so we're just going to
27:10
do exactly the same way we're going to come underneath and I'm going to turn my loom just a smidge because when I'm
27:16
working on two little beads I find that that works better for me to get my needle through there
27:22
and then continue across as usual
27:29
I mean gosh I keep looking at the combination of the soft flex and the
27:36
beads and the if you guys don't know already pink sings to my soul it's my color so
27:45
looks like you can sign up for October but I don't believe there is
27:51
any of the September left okay thank you Amber
27:57
thank you thank you thank you so we're going to string on three more
28:12
oh nice
28:20
okay see that one had a little bit of a drag in it so I just put my needle
28:25
through and it cleared it right out okay
28:31
so we're doing one of the lights
28:38
oh September Harvest is sold out I know Mickey uh is Joel's on there too
28:48
or is that just you Amber
28:53
oh okay like I'm getting a little confused thank you
29:00
it's like I'm getting I'm glad she jumped in with that I'm
29:05
sorry Jules my brain is just kind of fried for the week
29:13
all right and we're just locking in our second set of triangles here as we're working across
29:31
okay and we're gonna flip those down take those fronts down just like so and
29:39
maneuver the loom so I can see what I'm doing here for the second hole
29:45
and just slide that bead or slide that needle through those bead holes underneath
29:53
that seems to work best for me guys but I'm sure you all have your techniques on two little beads on what works better
29:59
for you but I just find for me that helps me to really be able to see
30:05
um and not have so much fiddling around with it you know all right and then one more set of
30:13
triangles here these are just absolutely stunning beads
30:19
Jewels these these triangles these pink triangles are just I don't look guys you can just enjoy it
30:26
I'll set the bowl there for you they are beautiful as always all of the
30:33
Czech glass is just stunning that she that Jules carries
30:41
okay now here we go this is one that has a blocked hole this doesn't happen very
30:46
often and usually and this happens with any Czech glass you'll find here there it's just how it is as I'm sure a lot of
30:54
you more advanced feeders know that um so we're just going to set that to aside and what I'll do is I'll just take
31:00
my B dreamer to it later and clear out the hole so I can use it and that one seems a little fitted too
31:06
so we'll just move on with another one double poke those two whole B jet Patty
31:14
agree agree okay
31:22
too much string so now we're going to slide the needle
31:27
underneath as always and lock in that third set of triangle beads
31:33
[Music]
31:41
okay
31:46
so how is everyone coming along with this pretty easy peasy does it seem like
31:51
something you guys will make
31:57
I think it's one of those nice projects and I didn't even have to step it out this time because it is a simpler design but
32:06
it's the products that make it so stunning
32:13
and see I didn't turn it sideways so I'm fiddling so let me go back to the
32:19
way that works for me there we go right through
32:26
oh thank you Amber
32:38
all right and then we're just going to continue on with our pattern that we started here on the bottom we're going
32:44
to take three of our uh four millimeter fire polish
32:53
first and then slide some of our six millimeters down like so
33:02
I'm gonna do them great on time that's good I'm so glad that I'm able to complete this project
33:08
in real time here for you guys
33:17
foreign okay
33:27
oh awesome Marie I'm glad to hear that I'm glad you like it and that'll be super fun when you can get your silver
33:33
silk bloom it's well worth it guys it is so versatile
33:40
that is very true Nancy they do not need to be difficult to be beautiful this is
33:45
very true I believe that wholeheartedly
33:51
okay so I slid down my first set there just like we did on the other side
33:59
and I know a lot of you will put your own spin on the project as well I'll be
34:04
anxious to see that I like to see when you guys who and we side note you and I have the
34:09
same nail polishie that's funny so right so here is
34:17
a slight dilemma there there we go
34:23
we'll get that to pull right back into place I think let's see how we're doing here
34:29
do you see this guys we have a stray bead up here so I wasn't paying attention I was too
34:34
busy looking at comments and it popped up so I'm just gonna pull my strands and I believe
34:39
should go right in to place where I want it
34:44
but we will see here and if not we can always pull out the yes it will and then I'll just have to
34:51
take the needle through that so good that worked out it just kind of got a little
34:56
whacked out there kind of decided to jump ship
35:02
and we're just going to go through this last bead and lock that Row in
35:07
you are very welcome for the pattern guys yeah don't forget to um
35:15
to download the pattern there that is for you for you all to enjoy
35:21
um that was actually Miss Jones idea to do a seed bead pattern for you all so I
35:26
did put it together but that was her her brains and I think I'm getting a
35:31
knot this is just being fiddly so I'll tell you what we're gonna do guys I'm going to pull this out because I
35:38
don't like the way that it's working for me there and then I'm going to get this little Loop that's in here out first
35:46
because I don't think that that I think that'll turn into a knot for us
35:52
and then I'm just going to pull this whole thing on the side out and we're going to regroup
35:59
with our three beads
36:05
I don't have Dropbox is there anywhere else I can download your CV pattern Janice
36:12
um if you want to get me your email address I can email it to you honey
36:20
um you can just send it to me a messenger on Facebook or if you're not on Facebook
36:25
um I have Instagram talk anywhere like that you can find me and just send me your your email address
36:32
and I'll send it to you honey okay so I'm glad I did that we have everything back in place where we want
36:39
it here and we're just going to go over our warps
36:45
and I think what's going on this last fire polish is giving me a little bit of a fit with
36:52
coming bringing the needle through so as you saw there guys I just took my pliers and pulled that the rest of the way
36:58
through and it worked fine okay so I'm going to tighten up you can see our Loops kind of straying
37:05
out a little bit over there and I want to make sure that I get that tightened up before I move on so I'm just going to take my needle and just pull a little
37:11
bit on this right side and then pull it the rest of the way through and then we're going to slide down to more of our
37:17
fire polish this
37:24
is never be afraid to back out that's for sure my friend
37:32
if it's gonna be you want to make sure your Project's right and beautiful and it's just worth it just to take that few
37:40
minutes and straighten yourself out and regroup okay
37:57
and we're just cooking with gas here
38:08
now that you're doing being naughty we can do what
38:15
oh now that you're done being naughty oh thank you yes we can move on now my
38:21
friend Vicky you always keep us so entertained and it's very lovely
38:37
all right and we're just gonna go across those warps
38:42
and then we only have one more set after this one and we are ready we'll be ready
38:47
to take it right off the lid and our seed beads of course we can't forget those it's very important
39:06
now I have chubby fingers so you might see me kind of finangling to get it underneath there
39:12
and that's the only reason because I have slightly chubby fingers
39:19
I don't know if it's slightly but we'll go with that I've been regrouping all day I had to
39:25
take apart the same areas twice I hear you girl that's been one of those days
39:30
for me as well so one two three four five that's our fifth set
39:46
foreign
39:57
that down just a smidge so you guys can see that better
40:02
we're just working our way across there all right so that is the bracelet put together we
40:09
have to put our nine seed beads on this end and attach those in well
40:17
then scooch it over here so you can see
40:34
zoom in eight and nine the seed bead concentration
40:39
and I think what I'm going to do here guys is flip this so I can see it a little
40:45
better because these 11s can can mess with me a
40:51
little bit sometimes because of my eyes
40:56
so I'm just going to get those I have one straight here that's popping up over so I want to get that underneath
41:02
it's going to be backwards for me so we'll see how this this goes
41:08
okay
41:13
so we are there and I'm just going to go across just
41:21
over top first I think you know we're not going to do that we're going to flip them back
41:28
old habits die hard I guess
41:41
there we go okay I'm gonna put this
41:46
back down here and lock those in
41:51
just get them on there and then we're gonna start doing a few times through
41:56
hooking them into the silver silk this one right here
42:03
I'll go through on this side I want to make sure I'm sort of you want
42:10
to make sure you're in the middle guys you don't want to be on the top because you don't want your silver silk you know
42:15
you don't want to do damage to that um by the clasp pulling on
42:23
the so the soft flex and then um
42:29
kind of moving things around as such well I missed that last one I'm not a
42:36
pink person but this is beautiful oh thank you Steph I appreciate that honey
42:41
uh okay friends we've been added to the files tab and the jewelry you're making with jewelry and group as just a PDF oh
42:48
you are on it my friend I keep forgetting we can do that
42:56
that's why she's the big guns guys
43:06
okay and then I'm just gonna put my needle through the silver silk on this side okay
43:13
I'm just gonna flip that to do that you can see as we work at least I think
43:20
most people do they flip and flop their Loom around just to kind of get the best positions
43:32
oh you're welcome Zach thank you um and once you see the the end here
43:37
you'll be I think it's kind of fun the way that uh the slide class works on them
43:45
on the silver silk and the soft Flex together all right so we locked that in
43:51
those are in there nice and sturdy and I'm just going to tie this off
44:00
because our bracelet is technically done all we have to do is put the clasps on and weave our soft Flex back through
44:09
now weaving the um strings back through was actually
44:14
something that I have recently um and using only because our friend
44:20
Danielle Wicks um showed us our beautiful the beautiful earrings on the little teeny tiny Loom
44:25
that Jules did and she was showing how she you know just would pull the threads
44:31
through and it was brilliant it was brilliant so I thought I'm gonna try that on this project and I think it
44:38
worked out pretty good so I'm just gonna do a couple knots just underneath here guys just to make sure
44:44
everything's it's into place and then we'll trim that off
44:50
get my cord cutters there we go can you show your Bryce at stack phrase
44:58
oh sure I can just one moment honey let me get this string cut
45:09
okay you'll get that out of the way
45:15
here is my bracelet stack that I currently have on today these are super Duo bracelets this is a
45:23
Czech glass and pearl bracelet I did with a button closure with fire polish
45:28
on the loop and then this beautiful thing is actually not my work I wish I
45:34
could say it was but my friend Gloria West made me this and it I just love it it's absolutely stunning she was
45:40
actually my mentor she's who taught me to begin with to beads so I just thought these all just look super cool together
45:46
so I love my turquoise so we're going to go ahead and take our project off the
45:51
loom and I'm just going to flip this over and simply I'm going to try to untie my um soft
45:59
locks only because it gives us a little bit more room to groove I'm looking for
46:04
just a little maybe I'll take my needle then it might work oh thank you Debbie thank you
46:12
I mean I don't work outside the home but I wear jewelry every single day and
46:17
makeup and I try to make sure that you know I do it for myself
46:25
and it's it seems to help with a lot of things you know just kind of
46:31
keeping keeping your keeping my momentum going maybe
46:38
so I'm going to take this little um pin that I have here and just pull on this to get this untied possibly
46:46
but you don't have to do this guys you can just cut it but like you know me I like to make things difficult
46:55
there we go thank you that just gives us a little bit more room to groove with them
47:03
so we're just pulling those knots out and I'm laying that strand down and I'm going to do the same thing here
47:11
pull that out
47:18
and there we go so now it's a simply simple as lifting
47:24
your project off of your loom because your silver silk is just laid in there you know just like so
47:32
questions and we're going to pull this off the top carefully
47:40
and get this out of the way okay
47:47
oh I'm so glad you like the pattern and the piece so it's for our soft Flex it's
47:54
just as simple as it slides through these beads like butter guys so you can
47:59
see we have our Loop up here and I'm just going to take these bottom strands and just slowly pull
48:07
the saw Flex down through so on that end
48:14
give it a little it's not you don't want to pull too hard you don't want to warp your bracelet
48:20
so we're just going to pull those through until our little Loop is just teeny tiny
48:27
at the top there okay get that in there as far as you can so
48:33
your side will go on easily okay and then what I'm going to do here I am going to cut these actually because I
48:40
want to be able to have a straight piece to be able to get back through my
48:47
um beats a straight piece of the soft flat or soft legs
48:54
and all I do guys is I just turn it over I didn't cut the string through there
49:01
and it's just as simple as taking the ends and feeding them back through a
49:07
bead or two
49:12
and then just pulling those loops again don't pull too tight because you
49:17
don't want to Warp warp anything but you can see I pulled that through and now it's flush
49:23
with the end of the um where the um
49:29
what you call its are the uh seed beads okay so I'm just going to push that through
49:35
as well all right
49:41
and then I'm just going to trim that off you could guys if you wanted to you
49:46
could put those two together and just do a little crimp in behind if you wanted to I'm not going to do that I think it
49:53
works out just fine just weaving them back through it's very secure
49:59
my other chair
50:07
and just trim those and we're still good on time that's wonderful
50:12
all right and I'm just trimming those flash just
50:17
like so okay so now we just have our beautiful silver silk here and what I figured out guys is
50:27
the balls in the ball chain will thread nicely onto
50:32
it or or you can thread them nicely into a slide clasp okay
50:38
so many of the projects look so hard well they I try we try to do projects
50:45
that maybe they look hard but they're not really and we do try to break them down so
50:53
um when you go on YouTube you can you know revisit the video and go through it slowly at your own pace
50:59
so what I'm going to do here guys you can see there is little balls of course because
51:05
it's ball chain and I'm just going to cut right above that ball that is even
51:12
with my seed beads okay and I'm gonna make sure
51:17
yes I have the same situation over there so all I'm going to do is I'm just going to trim this off
51:23
like so okay
51:29
and then I'm gonna take and I'm going to use my pliers here
51:34
and just kind of in my fingers and push the wire away from the ball
51:40
thank you Robin push it down and I'm going to pull out any of the loose wires from cutting it
51:49
just kind of push that down so I'm exposing the ball chain more okay
51:56
just just like that okay and we're just gonna you know we can neaten up our
52:02
silver silk here just by using your your pliers and just forming it with your
52:08
fingers because it is wire so that works out great um and I guess that I go in and I'll
52:15
just pull out all those loose little wires and then we're going to do the same thing on this side okay
52:23
and again we're just going to push the wire down away from that ball so it
52:28
can get caught into that clasp and just kind of form it down below
52:38
okay
52:43
just like so and now my fingers are in the way but you can see there now we have two exposed
52:51
Joan would make earrings with the trimmings oh and I will too don't you worry I I hoard these little trimmings believe
52:58
me so beautiful so I'm just going to take this is a 20 millimeter slide clasp that
53:05
we're going to um put on and I'm just going to start out by sliding it over
53:12
the the uh ball on the end and I did find that I did need to take
53:20
my tweezer pliers in and just smidge this open just ever so just to kind of get it started over the
53:26
ball chain so I just took my pliers in there and just spread them open like so just to kind of open that end a little
53:31
bit right so we're going to go over that and then
53:36
we're going to start feeding through our seed beads
53:43
okay and it's a little fiddly I'm not gonna lie but I just sort of work it move it
53:49
around little bits at a time and push it across and then I'm gonna take and
53:58
then hook the next ball chain into the end I'm
54:04
just going to take my pliers and ever so slightly just give that a little push inside that clasp
54:11
just like that okay and then close the end up
54:20
it's just as simple as that guys that's it so we'll do the other side
54:26
here and then we'll put our charm on and we'll be ready to rock and roll this is what I did with my other charm
54:34
I've got one in here these beautiful charms were provided by my wonderful
54:39
friend Amber so she has sent those to me as a gift and I am just loving them so
54:46
what I'm doing here guys I'm just making sure everything's kind of straight and even before I go on to the side and make
54:51
sure everything's gonna be in order the way I want it so we're going to do the same thing we're going to trim right
54:58
above those I always open up the spider I thought that was what I was supposed to do I
55:06
there's not a I mean you can do it either way whatever works best for you I
55:11
think there's no rule of thumb whether to open it or not but I think when you're working maybe with something that
55:18
has a little bit of bulk toward the base of it it does make it a lot easier you know because we're having these
55:24
little wires or having the wire down around the base here
55:34
I'm just pushing that down just like we did exposing that ball chain up a little bit
55:42
okay
55:50
work it work it now you don't need sit-ups
55:56
oh I wish that was true I wish that was true Vicky
56:08
okay
56:14
I'm just getting that up there I just want to make sure it'll catch nicely for me okay
56:20
and everything's done nice and neatly
56:31
and then again I'm just going to take my tweezer pliers in and open that up this is really
56:39
pretty Trish thank you Nancy well I wanted to make sure it was really
56:44
pretty John or my friend that's for sure she's well deserving of more than that
56:52
that's for sure foreign but hopefully I can speak on this and
56:59
you won't mind Amber but I cannot believe the strength and the courage and
57:05
the endurance that she has had throughout this whole process it just it's amazing and I know God
57:13
helps believe me I know that's a big part of it but she's just
57:18
incredible handled it incredibly bravely so and like I said we're gonna work our
57:25
way across here and just kind of if an angle things back and forth
57:31
yeah when I saw this silver silk um I just thought won't that it would make
57:37
such a beautiful addition to the project and I'm just having a little trouble
57:43
getting my end to slide over that so I'm just going to work on getting wire a little bit further down this side
57:50
is tougher because you don't have as much play because you've already cut it on the other end
57:56
so it just takes a little bit more it's in England
58:02
come on through you know you will
58:08
there we go again I'm just going to take this and make sure that's well in there
58:14
and hooked in and then I'm going to close my end down
58:20
on that so now we have to do is attach our ribbon
58:25
and it's just as simple one thing about another thing about silver silk it's a
58:31
very versatile that since it's wire you can put a jump ring right through it
58:38
and it will hold in there nicely I am gonna open up our jump ring here
58:46
and I'm going to Center this on our bracelet
58:53
and I'm just going up between like in the middle area in between two of the
58:58
Bulge two of the balls on the ball chain kind of and just rocking this back and forth to get it Through the Wire
59:07
and I don't want to do damage to the silver soak so you just want to be careful when you're doing it
59:16
um and I think the rocking back and forth is the trick because it'll kind of work
59:22
its way through and make its own little route through it okay
59:28
so I'm just going to close our jump ring there
59:34
thank you Anita thank you so much I'm so glad you guys like this project
59:40
so there we go we have our adorable little charm on the front and
59:45
then all I did guys on this one I just put a simple magnetic clasp but of course you know clasp it however
59:52
