mixture of facebook and youtube and yeah and i'm excited to be here with you

guys tonight so fun um but trish is gonna make this really

really pretty pearl bracelet with some really cool hoops sorry we were a little behind the

times and getting it posted and everything for you guys yes that was my fault it's just one of those weeks

[Laughter] you can go ahead and put me up there okay

okay guys here we are and just to show you here this was last

month's creative soul box this is the garden trellis bracelet that we did

so come on isn't that gorgeous wow it has the rose button i love it i love it it is so pretty

so um my style guys in case you don't know um i like a lot of um

romantic looking jewelry um vintage

um victorian mixed with boho i just really like

you know that kind of look so i was fortunate this month

and i was able to order jules has let us order um what makes us happy as far as

for our projects so i was able to order in the colors that i liked and everything like that so

i came up with this i'm calling it my flirty pearl necklace or bracelet excuse

me and this is the back of it believe it or not this is the back that has the button

on it okay and then it's made with these gorgeous czech pearls

you like that look to becky it's awesome i just love it it's so pretty thank you thank you um it's simple but

it does look a little bit harder than what it really is but i'm going to show you guys here we're going to use leather

tonight so that'll be a hopefully a good learning experience for you i'm just

going to set that here so what we're going to do i'm going to use the original loom this week i love

the original you've probably heard this before but i really enjoy

um working with the original let me just straighten this out a little bit and for leather with the original i like to

use the original with the bar in so if you don't remember how to put the bar in

um and i mean by putting by using it with the bar in i mean just letting it in there not taking it out and the

reason for that is is because if you take the bar out and say that you're working on the project over a few

days it may stretch your leather out and not give you the tightness that you need

to continue your project so it's just easier if i just leave the bar in it works great whether i need to put it

aside or not then i don't have to worry okay so to review what we do as far as putting the bar in

our original jewel bloom um you're going to this is my belly area down here guys and

you're going to press the bottom you know let me see if i can move this up so you can see it there we go

and i'm going to press the bottom into my belly like so and i'm going to just slightly

flex the jewel loom okay i'm going gonna hook my bar

in the bottom and then i'm going to flex a little bit

more and then push my rod into the top now i'm sure you guys know oh the bar

it's the facebook whatever that is i wish you let us know who you are because it's just showing up facebook user but

yes we always love bars but get that off of me now but

that's a great kind of art but um i lost my shirt i thought for a second

okay so once you get that in um you've got to keep in mind guys

number one it's flexible not bendable so you want to be gentle and make small

movements with your loom when you're putting your bar in also and like i said i know this is a review

but if your bar ends will not go incorrectly you can just take a plier and just open it up just a hair just put

your plier on the end of that rod and just push it up slightly so that way then your bars will go in

comfortably and stay in for you okay so we are going to

this is one millimeter um tan leather i love it it is just gorgeous and supple to work

with this is from jewelum.com i'm going to turn this over and i'm

going to tie my leather onto the button on the back and what i do is i usually go around twice before i even tie it

and then i'm just going to tie two knots to hold this in place that's what my preference is

it seems like that's plenty with all projects that i've done so we're just going to tie that

twice and then this is going to be three rows

and they're going to be four wide so what i mean by that four grooves

wide so what we're gonna do is we're just gonna lay our leather in here in one of

the grooves and with this one millimeter leather it fits in here very nicely it sits nicely in the grooves and then i'm

just going to eyeball it and bring it over to the other side and approximately in the same place

and then what i'm going to do once it's in that groove i'm going to turn it over and i'm going to catch this button on

the back be sure you do not catch your rod guys because that will make your tension

uh not be correct either so just make sure you're doing that and then we're going to skip four

two three this is the hardest part for me because it's hard to see the

at my age it's harder one two three one more

so we have four wide on that one two

three four i just like to double check so you want to make sure our beautiful pearls and fire polish sit in there

and then we're gonna go over to the other side same thing one two three and four

oh does anybody want dogs

the poor things my girls are my heart but man today they are on my last

nerve so one two three and four let's slide

that one over just a hair that was gonna give us five and then i just felt like this one moved

on me over here i just wanna double check it one two one two three four perfect

okay and then i just grab that button and i'm going to come back over the top here and we're going to do four more

wide let's do one two three

four okay and then over to the other side

and we're just gonna do so if we're gonna do three rows you guys know that means we're gonna

need four strands because we always need one more strand then we have rows

two three four and i'm not putting it in the fourth

groove i'm putting it in the fifth groove but i'm letting four spaces one two three four okay just to make sure

that's clear all right and i'm catching it on that

back button again and bringing it up and doing four more

the leather is nice it's pretty easy to warp because it's just really supple and

bendable and it just really likes to do what you want it to do

one more i like leather too yeah it's so beautiful to work with

so one two three four okay

uh facebook user i do you see your comments um it doesn't

but i'm not i haven't seen your name come up i see the comment that says do you see my comments i'm not seeing any

comments but mine so i'm not sure who you are

permission and that will help with that facebook user yeah she has to give stream your permission

that makes sense so and when you go into it it asks and when

you go into the live it'll say you know do you want to give stream your permission and you need to go through

that oh it's vicki look here over there we were just asking where you were

there see she's lurking tonight i'm using her real name she's hiding out on us

i'm just gonna pop this one over just double checking make sure nothing moved on me and then i'm going to turn it over guys

and i'm going to wrap this around here one more time whoops and again don't catch that rod in with

your um leather it will not be um it will unlodge you well for your

tension okay so i'm just wrapping that around tight

and holding my thumb on it now i'm just gonna trim leather so i have enough room to tie it

off how did you get in here i shut the door oh no did you hear her

she pushed it open oh

my god that's okay that's all right she's 14 we'll let her

go so i'm just i i fed that underneath the

um the other warps on the back here and i'm just gonna tie a knot i fed that over

or fed that under and then i'm just going to tie this like you would just

any a simple knot overhand and i'm going to do that twice okay okay

so when i do that i'm kind of still holding it and i'm pulling it and pulling it and i don't let go until it

gets right close to the um to the knot to the finish of tying it

to the knife yes they work no it's okay yeah and are you holding it just so it

doesn't break on you or something too the leather um no i just want to hold that tension i'm

trying to hold the tension with my thumb if that's if you know what i mean yeah when i bring it over i don't want to

lose that tension so i keep my thumb pressed down on it until i can get my first knot in once you get the first

knot in then you can do the second one no problem and i'm just tightening that okay and don't pull too hard on leather

guys i mean you want it taut but you don't want to pull too hard because it will snap if you pull too hard

okay so that's done our loom is warped i want to show you what we're using these

are some gorgeous czech glass pearls i use the pink color in this one and we will be finishing on a pink

bracelet but these are the toe color which are also very very gorgeous so you

need two strands of those excuse me those are six millimeter

and then you're gonna need two strands of six millimeter fire polish and if that doesn't wanna make

you wanna run and buy these right now i don't know what will those are just so beautiful have you

ever in your life okay so we need two strands of those and

then we're going to need some 11 0s to um do the loops on the end of course

your wildfire your tools and your needle and a button so these are the buttons that i got this

was just bought at a craft store they have them hanging around or you can get them if you want something that's

decorative or whatever um but these are the buttons i chose for on this bracelet so

okay so let's get our thread tied on and get started

on that so i'm just gonna take one and a half

wingspans of thread because a lot of times you'll hear people say they take two wingspans to start i have really

long arms so for me two wingspans is way too long for me to do a project so i

like if i have to add thread i have to add it i would rather just be more comfortable

with the actual beading part and not have my thread wrapping around everything in sight so one and a half

works for me so i'm just threading my needle here hopefully this goes well

right in the first time you need to have a celebration for that one party

it's a party that's craziness that never happened all right so we have that done

and we're just going to tie on to the left hand side i'm going to leave enough space here so we can

finish our bracelet off so you want to kind of keep everything to the middle here and i usually make about a six or

six and a quarter inch bracelet uh so for me that works out perfectly i

can just kind of center it up and that gives me the area to tie on my button and etc

okay so i'm just gonna wrap around this leftmost move this up

the leather here of our warp and i'm just gonna tie it i'm not gonna crank down on the knot i like to put in two

knots but not real tight knots in case i want to weave it back through

good i am one of those people that i don't mind a start knot on my pieces a

cup because a lot of times i use thread that blends in with my pieces anyway so you know it works out okay for me so

let's switch this over and get this stuff out of the way and we're going to open up our pearls

a strand of our pearls here and a strand of our fire polish and this is just a basic technique

guys excuse me your basic technique

but not so basic beads and that's what really makes it over the top you know a

lot of times your beads just will elevate something to another level

you know not on there yes uh trish did you announce last week that

there was a giveaway do you recall i believe so okay yeah i may not have though because

you know things were yep oh maybe it wasn't

you know what that was probably my fault because i was on by myself last week was yeah you were

that's okay so uh yeah so anyway you guys go ahead the newbies go head over and

okay so we're going to start out and you can see on this bracelet i decided to do the fire polish on the ends because i

wanted these seed beads to kind of really pop off of the bracelet the color of them

so i thought the the fire polish did a great job of that so i'm just going to pick up

three of my fire polish we have a great question from sandy here

uh do you leave the bar in for leather projects yes that's why this is in and

the reason i did talk about it earlier but i'd be glad to explain it again the reason that i leave the bar in for

leather projects is because your leather will have a tendency to stretch out on your loom and eventually

you will have too much give in your leather okay because your limb will just keep

flattening out that's just how it's made so to keep the bar in for leather it keeps you a nice taut

top to use with your warps and if you have to sit your project down for a day or two you don't have to worry about it

straightening out right aw

you sing our comments oh you guys are so sweet anyway

okay so i put my three beads on my three fire polish and i'm just feeding my needle underneath

the leather linda says that is just beautiful she likes it too oh thank you so much guys i

just it it worked out so perfectly it was just singing to me so

so and i'm just going to add those fire polish on there and i'm holding that there with my hands and i'm with my

fingers underneath and then i'm going to take my needle and go up over the top of the leather and

through the beads making sure that i am over top of the leather and going through the beads as i go across

so that's what you want it to look like you want to be able to see that metal in those needles between excuse me the

metal in between the fire polisher beads that you're using okay

so i'm going to scooch out just a hair because i saw it kind of back down so i want to make sure that i have a good starting point so i have enough leather

so i'm just going to pull that through and i am using this gorgeous wildfire this is the beige this is one of their

newest colors and jules does carry that and it looks so gorgeous with this natural leather

and these pearls this is just more like a muted version of the pink one okay which a lot of people

would love that too you know i like muted versions of things too you know especially pink

yeah yeah definitely and then we're just gonna pick up three more fire polish we're gonna put nine fire polish on each

end of our pearls okay hopefully everything's in there

there we go i'm trying to get four because i love them so much and i'm just going to push those down

on my thread and then put my needle underneath

this is how i do it guys and i know i've showed you 100 times but i just hold on to my thread when i'm feeding it under

it just seems a little bit more in control for me when i do it that way i like to hold it too yeah

and as it's coming to the end i can just continue with my hand pushing that up in

between there okay yeah the fire polish that's over there

on jewel's side that was so hard to pick they are absolutely gorgeous what i want to do

is do an entire we're gonna do i believe is that next week or the week after next

week because you're next week um yeah we're gonna do a fun fully fire polish

oh yeah bracelet i think that's two weeks yeah two weeks yeah so

it will be to die for i'm sure because of the beads it's a basic concept but it just really

yeah elevates it okay so there's our sorry oh both peggy and ronda say that they

the um well they're loving the colors and rhonda really likes uh the colors of the threads oh yes me

too they really make it i do like that so we have our three rows of our fire

polishing again and then we're going to just start with

our pearls then and it's the same thing because they're they're both six millimeter so

um it's going to be the same process except we're going to use our pearls now what you want to do guys is as you go

i think i had 20 i had um made approximately a six or six and a

quarter and i have written here that i did 27 rows total

of everything so if you want to divide that you know you have your

i think that it measured about an inch

on the fire polish so if you can kind of think okay there's an inch there's an inch and then i want to make the middle

so long okay and how much would you like uh for the end like for your ending like an

inch for your button and stuff or an inch what do you mean for leather

no for when you're like if you have a seven inch wrist which is you made six and a quarter

yes i have a seven inch wrist i have a seven inch wrist so well i usually make

a six inch bracelet is what i usually make i leave an inch yes okay message

received sorry about that so we just have our pearls here guys and

we're gonna do the same exact thing put these under

uh yes vicki um i did see your earrings that you posted

and they were awesome i love them those are so gorgeous those are the uh yeah the firecracker

earrings they were really really pretty

such a great project and we're just gonna continue with our pearls

as we go here vicky goes 27 i think i can count that

high 10 twice oh we love you vicky yes we do we were

looking for you when you your name wasn't popping up and i'm like wait a minute what's going on what's going on

we have our our our girls that always join us oh sami and

peggy everyone vicky and melanie a lot of the regulars are here tonight

so yes we just have our own little cult following i guess

and we deeply appreciate you guys believe me it's no fun if you don't have anybody to demonstrate for you know

so do we need a theme song you know now probably would be good can

you work on that for us sure i'll ha i'll put jeff on it good job he's good with music mario is too maybe i'll send

him your way sounds good we'll barbecue and they can play there

you go because they need more to do they don't have enough on their plates yeah

now i'm noticing guys and i've said this before like with seed beads um

pearls have very small holes as well my jewelry needle is going through it

snugly okay so you can sew this part on with your jewelry needle and the reason

i like to do that is because of the length of it it makes it so much easier but you could if you were having trouble

with the pearls that you have you could change to a seed bead needle if necessary

they are just pearls are known to have teeny tiny drill holes

so we'll do a little bit of this just to kind of get everything in place

and then we'll do our loops and our finish

oh sandy that's so sweet we just you guys don't even know how much when you post your

um items that you make from our lives how much it means to us yeah it's just such a great feeling

and maria also says that your design is fabulous thank you

guys we just need to hug all of you i know

and i know i'm just going to move this briefly so you guys can see this mess here

[Laughter] oh i miss my girl

she's a mess so that is my helper tonight

yeah if you guys are in pennsylvania or nearby we hope to be at bead fest in august

we'd love to meet up with you guys that would be awesome okay bubba i'm clean

oh becky says or you can ream them yes that is true you can rain and frame

them and you know what guys for christmas i got the new beadalon oh how is that

that's awesome and i got the cupboard attachment for the end did you know

as well and boy does that make it nice when you're making your own wires oh thank you linda

it's actually a little girl it's a girl her name's kaylee and then i also have a white standard poodle her name is irwin

um they are our babies we do not have children so they are done you do our children we do have children they just

have fur yeah but yeah there are buddies

this is going to be gorgeous i can tell already oh these pearls come on

[Laughter] jewels just get such high quality stuff and it just shows

it really does oh and he says the doggy's making sure your elbow stays lubricated so it doesn't get

sore that's true this is true i want more of those fire polish i'm trying to pick those up

uh peggy had a great question uh what is the millimeter of the beads

these are six millimeter pearls and six millimeter fire polish and then you're going to need some 11-0 seed beads to

put the loops on yeah and this is actually one millimeter leather in case you're wondering on that

as well all of the links are in the description uh i did put them in the comments at the

beginning if you need me to repost them let me know okay

oh sure you got the reamer and bird attachment as well it's great do you like it sherry

oh yes you say i love them i gotcha yeah it's pretty good

vicky says where did you have your elbows last the fridge poodles are a smart [Laughter]

they are smart she grew up with a small poodle and a siamese cat

the cat was the boss yeah unfortunately in our house a cat would

not be the boss because arwen has other things in mind [Laughter]

and bunnies and birds i mean in squirrels it's terrible but it's only natural they're waterfowl

retrievers hunters by heart so it's just we keep her away from those

kind of critters probably a good idea yes

kaylie liked like to chase squirrels in her day but she doesn't do that as much anymore

she's good at playing catch though fetcher oh she is yeah she loves her toys so

we'll do a couple more rows here guys actually it looks like i got one more row left for these

pearls i didn't open my uh second strand that's why you would need your second strand of

two strands of the six millimeter pearls and uh two strands of the fire polish

penny says we know that you put peanut butter on your arm i did i'm bribing her because i haven't

seen her enough today oh i'm home with them constantly because

you guys don't know that but no they they're good i don't know what to do without them for company you

you and yeah the girls my mom that's my saving grace

yes meat well now i got my pup yes you sure do you know all about that

all right guys so this is our last word we're gonna put in but it is the concept of using

the pearls in the middle and the fire polish on each end and i have nine fire polish on each end so once you get to

this point you would add your nine fire polish on on the top and i'll show i'm

going to show you now how to add your loops on the other one see how that's kind of

i'm coming off camera but it's a little bit stuck in the pearl there it does happen it's just the pearls are

teen titan teeny yes so all right so let me set this one to the side but hopefully you got the

concept on that i know my girls are on here are super super smart and sharp

so i can't wait to see what they do with this project

they're so talented much more than i am i don't know how i got on this show and they didn't

oh anyways all right guys so i'm gonna use these

cute little pink seed beads this color is ceylon innocent pink

um i adore so i'm gonna move my instructions over here and bring my one that i have made so

this is what it looks like before you put your loops on the ends guys

now on these loops i'm gonna tell you

i didn't count anything i went in every bead but i did it very

um differently because i just kind of picked up a row and sewed them in and

then picked up a row i didn't count any of them and actually i really liked the way that that turned

out because it almost gave it like a florally appearance by doing that don't ask me why don't ask me but i just

really like the way that just doing different sizes

works and a lot of times you can count and do different sizes for sure guys but i just found that it worked for me just

to kind of go with whatever i felt was a good amount on my needle so we'll give that a go

i think my pearl button's in there i'm gonna need that

and if you guys haven't seen this bowl look at this gorgeousness amber got me

yay i got that in maine people so gorgeous that's glass in there

oh so anyway on to the project back to the project so i already have my needle here and

this is in the last bead that i sewed in okay and we're just gonna work

with it that way so what i like to do

to get started because you know you have to go back in through the speed to make the loop to get the get the loops going

so what i'll do is since i'm coming out the top here i'm going to go around this

leather and go underneath on this bead okay so that's going to secure it

because if i just went back through it it will pull it out you know so it's going to secure it here and then i push it up between the first

and the second bead okay so i pull that in

so now i can start with my loops so we're just going to lay out a pile of seed beads

because i like to just scoop and just start

picking them up little by little

vicky says i have some rust colored pearls and have some amber crystal beads

sounds like a project for me oh i can't wait to see honey i know so i

just picked up an odd amount of seed beads

and i'm just going to go like we're going to go over top of the speed guys and i know a lot of you know

but for any newbies out there i want to go over it um i'm coming out this side so when i put

my beads on so i want to go around and put my needle through that

first bead again and through the second one okay when i'm tightening this on

all right so we have that and now we're going to do the exact same

thing you're going to just scoop whatever amount

you feel hi sorry hi nicole

um you'll find with me guys that i like to just fly by the seat of my

pants when i need jewelry it's just that gives me the most creative space

and i find that if i don't box myself in i do much better with my creativity

so that's just me personally so if you see me say well you know you can use this amount or you could use this or

that you know because it needs to be flexible because everybody has a different idea

of what they like you know on their jewelry making i'm just pulling that second loop now

that one you can see it's much bigger that's fine by me that's the look i'm going for

so we came out we went through the second bead and now out through the third bead so we can put another

loop so vicky says oh goody we're gonna get loopy loopy loomer sounds like a team

name to me so we should call ourselves yeah definitely the loopy loomers over

here i love me some loops yeah so again i'm just picking those up

and i'm out through the side of this third one so i'm gonna go back through

the third bead and out okay i hope you guys know what i'm doing you

can see what i'm doing here but that gives you i came in through the other side between the

second and third and then we're going out i put my beads on and then we're going to go out of the third

if i can get it to not move around my lip okay

so now what i'm going to do guys i'm just going to take my needle on the end here and go into the next row

i'm going to skip over to this row and i'm going to come up between the first and second bead again so we

can continue our loops okay

and that tightens everything in there i'm going to do the same thing on the second row

and if you mistakenly cut your piece off of the loom before you do this you can

add loops later i've done it but i do recommend if you can do it on the loom to do it it just makes it a lot

easier to manage the project so we're going in through the first and through the second

and oh what but penny used to be in a crochet group and

she never wore the t-shirt because it said happy hookers yes no

oh yeah that's a little sensitive yeah especially their own children

yeah about that yeah i had to learn all that child sensitivity because

we're not used to over here watching but i'm trying i'm learning you doing a

great job yes

in through the second and out through the third what's that amber oh nicole is asking what you worked with

i worked with one millimeter leather okay but you could certainly do hemp but yes

you could certainly do hemp i just really like the quality that it makes it kind of gives it a more high-end look

i think especially with the ends it's getting a little blurry but

it's so pretty but i mean oh there we go there yes so you can see the one millimeter leather

ends there with the fire polish on you're welcome honey

okay so we're just gonna do our third bead in the second row same way guys

vicky says i do everything by the seat of my pants two

we usually right usually spandex or body shapers

i know so back through and i'm going through that third bead

right into the next row

and out through the first bead between the first and the second same same same same thing

yeah i mean there's a lot of basic techniques in this piece it's just the way that everything's combined i think

that makes it really nice you know is it really pretty

she agrees thank you haley no

oh god bro um hang on one moment guys i'm going to shut my door again

anybody have any questions um make sure it shut good this time yeah

and you know what look cute even with the skies if you decided to use like a variety of colors even for your loops

that would be really pretty you could do two or three colors and that would really make it pop

and the reason i did that is because i felt like these loops just pop off of this fire polish i think they would have

kind of like got lost on the dark rose beads

you know what i mean yeah so we're gonna do that

how much time are we doing on time still good yes okay good so i'm just gonna put these loops on

guys sorry oh penny says that was my fault i yelled

squirrel to see if your dogs could mental out they will believe me they meant a lot

about a lot less than that believe me penny oh that was wonderful penny thank you

that made my day no you guys always do even if we're not feeling well or what's

going on in life you always bring laughter and light to our world you probably know

sweethearts they are okay

so we'll do one more loop on this side and then what we can do is i'll take it off with only the one side done and then

i can add my loops later like i said you can do so i will that way then i can show you the finishing process as well

guys great so we'll do this last loop you get the idea i think nine loops

but i just see how that lays it almost looks like a flower don't you think totally

i mean that's my art aside looking at it but i know we're all creatives on here so maybe you see it too

[Music] it's not just me seeing things well

that that's questionable all right so we're putting our last loop

on there get this back in the range the camera and then now what i want to do guys is i

want to tie this off so my my string is coming out the top over top of the leather here so i'm going to do the same

thing we kind of did at the beginning but go backwards on it i'm going to wrap

this wildfire around this outside warp by going in the bottom of

the bead and it's holding it there that way then i can go in and i can stitch

you pull this thread back through here i can not stitch but i can tie my knot in the

middle so it's less noticeable okay so top we're going to go in and around and

through the bottom of the bead and then i'm going to take my needle and bring it up on the other side

of this leather i know it's really hard to see okay and we're just gonna tie

a couple knots here and i'm gonna go around the leather one more time

see that individual okay

and then i'm just going to tie it off and i'm going to do that twice just to make sure that it has a good and

you're going to want to probably put some geos hypo cement on your knots if you don't um already know that it does help to

secure your wildfire from um coming out the wildfire knots from

coming out okay and i'm just gonna do the same thing

and then once i get those two knots i always take my needle and i put it down through the work

and i pull down and it rotates that needle from being on

top of the work to being on the bottom of the work what a helpful so that that knot yeah it takes that knot down to the

bottom so you just give that a little tug it'll take it to the bottom of your work and then you can just

take your um thread zapper or your cord cutters and just

cut that off all right so let me get these seed beads out of the way so i don't spray them everywhere

when i'm showing you how to finish this and i just spread them anywhere but that's okay

oh no right they're not that bad but anyway so

now picture we have both of our ends done with loops and now we're going to just cut it off

of the loom now with this bar in you don't have to worry about your um thank you mary you don't have to

worry about your loom recoiling on you like it does when you are taking work

off of it normally because your bar's out of it so

it's going to have more of a tension or more of a recoil when you take it off so your bar is there so all you have to do

is just turn it over and snip it as close to the button as you can because you want to have as much

leather as possible to work with to finish okay so there's that then you can see no

recoil all right and then same thing on this

side i'm going to cut that right there and this it leaves you a little bit of leather on here you can always snip it

off even these longer pieces you could keep maybe use for earrings or something like that

something simple and i'm just going to set that loom to the side for us

and then it's just as simple as tying knots you're gonna tie two knots

on each end you have four strands so it makes it very easy

so i'm just tying those two threads or leather strands together

okay and then same thing on the other side

all right vicki made the comment that you could do pico edge the whole length of the pearls with the same don't think

i didn't think of it [Laughter] was gonna do it and then i'm like no

i'm just because i think i did pico last week or whenever so i thought let's just

but pico please do i want to see it with pico i'm even out yeah so i have the two

knots on this end i'm going to do the same thing on the other side

yeah i was playing with that just settle it down trish settle it down

because i would just keep adding and adding and adding more is more to me you know guys

or the bling but don't pull too hard because you do not want your leather to get

um out of whack you want it to stay straight you don't want to to get it

like sort of deformed from tying it okay because i also have a tendency to you

know crank down on things when i'm tying them off

just telling you from experience guys hoping it can help you to avoid some of the mistakes i've made

i hear you what i've done then i have a nice amount of leather on either end

to play with let me get this this way and in the camera better so i have a nice amount of leather on

either side to play with which is awesome but i'm just making sure those knots you can put some gs hypo on your knots that

you make with your leather as well so what we're going to do first is put our button on because um

that will then enable us to decide what size buttonhole that we want okay

so what i do is i'm going to take two of the strands and i'm going to take the ends and i'm just going to cut them into a sharp

point it makes it so much easier to get it through your button shank and this

button shank on this particular button is very small as you can see here just has one of

those little tiny loops on it but it does two strands of one millimeter will go through it

just get that one a little bit shorter so they're about the same

and then i'm just going to hold those together and feed that through the shank and you can use any buttons guys jules

has some gorgeous ones in the shop as always but like i said um

you can get you know just at any craft store too if you want something metal

see so that pushed right through there and cutting that that's a good trick to keep in mind with leather because

even with putting our um fire polish or on the ends of the

strands that we keep you're going to want to cut that angle on it makes it easier okay and then i'm

just going to take these two threads on this side and tie it with these two threads to

secure our button when you leave yourself just a little wiggle room with your button you don't

want to crank down on too hard but it's enough to

be able to have some movement with it okay and i'm just gonna tie that twice

make sure i have it where i want it looking good

and i can thank my friend gloria for these gorgeous buttons this was part of my birthday gift so she did

get me those so pretty yeah she did good she knows me after 25 years

she sure knows me so there are some beautiful wooden buttons

oh yes on juloom.com so everything resides and lives at jeweloom.com so and

keep keep in mind guys with the wood buttons um if you want them to be like i did with this one i just put some color

on the edges of this rose button and how it just made it pop yeah i love what you did there yeah you could put resin you

could put you know a little resin in sprinkle glitter put some more resin on top i

mean sky's the limit guys so we have our button on

so now i'm gonna go on this side i'm gonna start making my button loop

and i'm just gonna take these four strands and i'm gonna treat these two and two just like they're one strand and

i'm gonna tie them together to start making a loop

okay and i just kind of want to get that

first knot in and what i do and maybe there's an easier way you guys can tell me but this is the way i do it

i put the beaded piece on my wrist and hold on to that knot that i made

and then see if the button will fit through the amount of thread that i left there

or or thread or leather okay and so i think that's going to be a really good amount so i'm just going to

hold on to that and back it out back that butt now and then tie

another knot to secure it all right

so i'm just gonna check one more time just before i tighten everything down for good

yep i even could move it down just a hair i think i will just and just let

that bottom since this is not tight you can kind of tighten down that bottom knot that you made bring it down a

little closer and then make sure you're centered as always so it doesn't look out of whack

and then snug it on down it's nothing on down the road

i don't even remember what that's from gonna ease on down he's on

it's all good my favorites okay so what i do with this side guys

i'm going to glue this with some gs hypo and i'm going to cut my leather strands you don't want to cut right tight tight

tight against it you want to leave yourself just a little room there

and then make sure you put your um glue on it and then on this side

as you can see on the project that i had made already i did add

the fire polish to the buttonhole end

on those such a pretty addition i love that i mean you can't go wrong with those beads

you just can't and the combination of things that i have here you know

just beautiful stuff but so it's as simple as this guys take a few of your fire polish

and then we're going to cut i left mine different lengths because i kind of like the way that it just

look i like the way that it looked so i'm going to cut angles in the ends of all of my

leather strands okay so i'm just going to do the same thing that we just did earlier

and just cutting that as an angle it almost makes it like a needle

vicky says gotta have those dangle downs somewhere i mean you know i'm the queen of dangle downs

yes yes yes yes i am we love our dangles and they go down so

seem like money there we go it's coming a little loose off to go back through that but

um then you're gonna take your fire polish and you're just gonna thread it on to your pieces of leather

it can be a little grumpy going through so sometimes you have to kind of

fiddle with it a little bit to kind of get it to go on of course the first one i pick up is

like heck no of course there we go i'm gonna cut this just a

little more of an angle

you know i'm wondering if these have a little bit smaller holes than the ones that i use

on my other project here i'll just get those out and use them these ones worked pretty good let's see

if it makes a liar with me as well i'm sure i could get it if i you know messed with

it long enough but let's see going for simple now

just going for simple yep he's arguing

oh my goodness yeah i mean what it went on like butter

of course but when you go live there's a little bit of finagling but you know

slow mature right and i'm just kind of pushing and twisting guys you could ring these holes as well like

one of our smart people said because i'm like fighting with it and

i'm not thrilled about it so i'm gonna take my old school reamer here and just clean it out just a little bit

more make life

easier see if that helped

i at least want to show you one of them goodness sakes it's not usually that hard

i'm sorry honey oh that's okay here it goes here it goes

yeah so just remove a little bit if you have to guys that seems to do the trick

so i just fed that through and i grabbed the end of it i push my bead the whole way up and then just make a little teeny

tiny knot on the end

of course what oh vicky oh vicky said hard to hold

your teeth just right when you're talking to us hold your teeth

i don't get it i don't either but they'll know honey i know it's probably

funny but you know i'm a little slow you might have to clarify that one for me no i don't so i'm just going to take my

tweezers here and help me get my end through with that and i just pull that down to a nice

snug little knot and then i just trim it so it looks nice

and there's one on and then you just do the same thing

apparently you have to bring them and then put them on but that is the basic guys we'll do one more

here hopefully and then we will be ready to sign off

and we're gonna get a nice snip on that one again

let's see if that helped and if it didn't well you just get in c1

tonight then and that's okay that's okay

yeah i just i'm not one to give up so it's just the curse of the live i

know right well we'll go with that guys you get the idea just thread it on there

and just put your knot on the end and you can take a little bit more time with it i'm sorry it's blurry but no

worries but that gives you the idea oh my goodness so pretty

and here's your finished one again as always guys if you have any questions

anything like that you can always reach out to us we're happy to help oh

there you go guys i love it i love it vicky clarified you have to put your teeth and tongue

just so while threading a bead or a needle yes yes that is a hundred percent

right yes i get it now you are right girl you gotta hold it

just so huh well i will yes spotlight me so you can flip around

okay all right oh the hair i must have been getting excited

everything's backwards on here so i'm like what what right right yeah i hope you guys enjoyed
