jules has available in the shop beautiful so pretty so pretty you will also need

some kind of ending piece so if you recently bought a

kit you can get jules is now putting these into

the original jewel loom kits these particular color beads or if you got the

january creative sole box kit that was in there she also has all kinds of beautiful

czech glass bead mixes so i have this one was from one of the

creative soul boxes but she has all kinds so you could use beads from that so you'll need

something to put on the bottom for your angled angle so

you will need i think these are 24

25 do you remember which size millimeter it's 24 25 it's not quite 26 it's

shorter than 26. yeah it's a three-quarter inch that's what i call them but

it's gonna be in millimeters so whatever that equals in millimeters so you can use either jewel loom needles

tonight i'm gonna spotlight you now sweetie okay oh yeah that's fine there you can get started uh you can also use

beading needles uh trish added a picot edging to her so she's probably gonna flip her camera

while i'm doing that and um so either or if you're doing the picot

edging you're probably gonna want a beading needle but you could always switch off of your jewel loom needle

after you do the main the beginning um so i mentioned these

the ribbon clamps i believe will have them in the shop you're gonna need you know either some craft wire or some um

eye pins or head pins some uh ear wires

some jump rings some wildfire

and then a loom of your choice

and we're gonna get started on our earring on on our earrings here oh and some scrap ribbon

or whatever you have around so this one is

3 8 of an inch or 9.5 millimeters

so not super wide as you can see i'm still gonna have to

trim some of it off so you just need small pieces of scrap

because we don't want to put the ribbon clamp right on the wildfire

so uh this and a loom you can i think trish is on

she can she's flipped now she can join back with us here she's on the original

and i am on the wisdom warrior so

um we'll be working

with my uh that's we're working with the six millimeter tile beads yes and then

but the free gift and there's a link to the wildfire jules has a 12 millimeter ribbon clamp

so i'm throwing all these links at you guys um okay

and then here's the hopefully it'll take here's the link for the original loom

cool and then i'll throw in the let's see if it'll take that yeah

now guys if you want to make the picot stitch you will need some 11 0's so keep that in mind you don't have to amber

doesn't have that on hers but you if you want to make them like these ones you will need some eleven o's okay the ones

i'm using are called rosaline i believe in a frosted they're frosted rose only

so sorry i just wanted to add that oh by all means let me get some of this stuff

out of the way and so we haven't we talked about how we

haven't um shown you how to

warp the origin the not the original the wisdom warrior in a while so we thought

we'd show you how to do that so i'm going to warp the wisdom warrior if you use

uh the baby loom you can get two earrings out of it it's a little tight but you can

definitely do it um just because these are a little longer that we're making tonight

um so i would recommend doing the original or the wisdom

but um that is your choice i definitely i did my test ones on the baby loom and it

worked uh it just makes it harder for tying off the ends that's a big difference because

you just don't have as much to tie off if you center them just right though you can make it work yes yes

so for um the wisdom warrior we start out

by knotting on our cute little peg up here so i just

got my wildfire and it's focusing on my wildfire

go focus about a wildfire let's see anyway so i nodded the knob here

oh you spotlighted me again you go girl

so i found i'm trying to remember i think it was

just like the original you're gonna it has grooves up here and they're the

same distance as the original oh hey kara i'm sorry you lost us i'm

glad you found this again here we are oh joel said joe i think jules just sent out a link to the oh

awesome group so good i think neely must be finished up okay

yeah very fun yes neely is just talking it looks like

with danny's on that song yeah so and we do a lot of that what are you talking about on top

sorry you know no no yeah right but just like the original you're gonna lay it in the

grooves um i don't worry too much about making

it completely perfect on each end but i've been doing this for a while so i

line up pretty close on the original you do get tension pretty easily when

you take the bar out with this one you have to create your tension

so i wrap around twice and then you're gonna need

one two i believe it's three spaces let me good way to check it is to take out what

beads you're doing i'm lined up here hey joan joined us yay

so it'll be three spaces wide

double check that that might be too much so this is just a good easy way nope

that looks pretty good i think that's what i used was three yeah so on

yes so you just want to hold your tension while you're measuring that all out

and then come back up here and go one two three when we say three we mean

three open spaces so it'll be the same on the original and we only need to do four so we're

gonna do three beads across so we only need four warps

so let's see where that starts

one two three and go in the fourth one

two three there we go hold that tension sometimes if you see i have my finger

there that helps hold it i'm going down to the bottom

so one two three and then put it in the fourth

wrap around twice let your wildfire fall on the floor

and that's okay yep it happens then you probably can't see

there we go one two [Music] three

go in the fourth so same thing on the original one to the advantage of doing it on one of

these looms is just uh being able to tie it off easier honey could you scooch that forward just

a hair yeah i was picking up my wildfire sorry okay no that's okay i was just thinking

the girls could see a little better thank you awesome

thank you thanks for letting me know sure that's all we

do and get that string out of the way so counting

one two three go in the fourth hole wrap it around twice hold my finger

there i got all this extra wildfire and you want to get some good

good nippers out yes and cut

enough so you can tie it off

it's always hard to tie it off while you're live it is it's hard to it's hard to do it

all while you're live no joke oh yeah i mean as far as the warping goes i'm always having a party when i'm i'm

warping on here at home i'm like whipping it out yeah i don't know but once you go live it's like awkward in

the city and you don't know what it is i don't know what happens but it's a camera i guess

oh i think i locked definitely lost some tension there all right yeah i lost some tension

see if i can do you want to work on that and yeah since you're starting the next part

but that's how you warp uh the wisdom warrior and now we're gonna

highlight trish over here and she's gonna show you the next step

okay guys so this is my original and just like amber just showed i did three

spaces between each we have four threads so always one extra thread

is compared to how many beads you're using so reason three beads four threads okay and three spaces apart okay and

then that's what we're gonna get here i did do a picot stitch you don't have to

um so what i did here i to make my life easier i flip my my loom over because i

like to work from the bottom up so i just tied off my uh pink wildfire

which jules has that in her shop i believe um too so if you haven't tried the paint

guys it has my heart but anyway um so i tied that on to

our outside left warp okay and the next thing we're gonna do is

just pick up our beads okay i'm going to show you a couple rows and then we'll get back over to

to amber here but all i'm going to do my pattern here you can't see but my

pattern here starts with the taupe so i'm going to pick up a taupe a gray

and a taupe okay i have those on my needle

and i'm just going to push those down

penny we are just talking about how when we're not live we can whip it out but when we go live

sorry are you wiping it out i just got here and the first thing i hear is i'm just whipping up

yeah yeah that's me guys i mean yeah sorry all right we'll move past

that this is a children's show no it's not i was just i didn't even think that until you

started laughing okay so once i have those beads moved down guys i'm going to slip my needle

underneath and i like to hold on to the thread as i'm pulling it across that's just something i enjoy

penny says haha i thought where did i land where am i [Music]

you're with us penny no worries yeah yep you know you're here when you hear stuff like that so and i'm just going to take

my finger guys underneath and i'm just going to push up with my left hand and it looks like i'm

struggling because i am um but you just we won't let anybody know you're at work

no um so we have our our beads across here and i'm holding them there and i'm going

to go over top of the right warp and then i'm going to go all over top of

all the warps as i'm going through the holes in the beads and you can see your needle through the beads to make sure

you can see silver as you're going across then you know it's locking it in for you okay

and then uh to do the next row the girls uh actually amber and jules

showed me this which is pretty cool they tilt their towel beads down just to make sure that they're gonna

catch them under the warps as they go across and that's a good rule of thumb

for your um two hole beads any of them it seems to

work nicely so yes a lot of times you can turn your um loom

sideways if you need to i do do that at times because you know to get

straight through and you guys are probably a little more talented with that kind of stuff but my um

motor skills aren't what they should be all the time so but so we go across

underneath we're underneath those warps and now we're going to do the same thing we're going to go over top of the warps

i'm going to put my needle in that right bead and make sure that i can see it the whole way across as i'm

attaching on our tail beads okay

so that's monroe there amber would you like to get back

are you not quite ready yet oh i am so it's you're good i'm we can have both of

us up okay thanks okay uh might be mine are slightly different b only because

this one if we can get it to focus on it maybe

has a silver backing so when you're putting it on if you do these they're gorgeous in

person you just have to be aware of how you lay it on your loom

so um so yeah so i'm gonna and if you wanted

to you could just like jules did with the bracelet you could lay out the beads

that you're gonna do so you know what's coming up

how are you gonna finish it off that kind of thing yeah

definitely so i'm just doing my second row because

i'm doing these ones i did i did one row on the bottom just like amber we just did one of each

um where we did two yes yeah sets anyway um

this this one up here i did two rows and then started the buttonhole okay so i'm

doing my second row at the bottom

okay just push those down here i'm putting this one on

so if you see if i flip it around this is how you have to be aware when it

has two different colors as you can see oh well you probably can't see but my

silver is facing up instead of the pinkish clear that i reflector side

so i need to make sure i go back and pop this bead off and flip it over

so it helps with these for me at least and the same with the spikes that we did

last so it's the same idea as the spikes is i put my thread under first

and then my needle is going the right way so my needle that's very smart trick

so whether if you're beating from bottom up your needle be going the opposite way

but i i bead from top down

like most people but no we should take a poll yeah we should

we should definitely take a poll oh thank you for answering that question joan okay so

um now i'm gonna go and attach one bead oh do you want to show your knob on the back of yours do i want

to show my knob yeah so that she can see what what john's talking about

you see how that's attached yes john i did show how to warp the wisdom warrior

so we didn't show how to warp the original just the wisdom but we did that in last week's show so if anyone has any

questions they can certainly reference uh last week's show yes and check that out

so just like trish is doing make sure you see your silver needle

all the way through when i was doing my practice run today i was dropping beads oh yeah i did that

yesterday too um so i'm just gonna attach one guys and so i put my bead on i'm gonna do the

same thing i'm gonna run it underneath pull that across but i'm gonna put it up through the

needle up through the middle this time because we don't want a bunch of string showing on our project

right we're working on the buttonhole showing how to do the buttonhole technique

yes there you go um so i'm just pulling that up through the

middle that string and then i'm just going to run it back

through the bead on top of the warps just like we normally do but we're just doing it on one row okay

leave the middle and the the far end opposite end open yes

okay and now i'm going to tip my bead down and i'm going to put the needle through

the second hole and i'm going to bring that up through the middle

is this close enough for you guys or do you need me to zoom in a little bit just let me know

and then over top so now we've managed to put one bead

on one row of the warps okay so i'm doing the same thing i found

weaving underneath these two warps and then over the top of that one

worked well for me to remember where i was going gotcha

i don't know if that's what you did i was focused on mine um or something similar i do it the same

way as i normally do it except yeah i put my needle up through the middle and right that's all i did okay

i'm like thinking okay did i make it too complicated

that's all right don't take much hm don't take much for me for either of us but if you guys are wondering what

projects we're working on see amber has one on her screen to her left and then i

have mine here the buttonhole earrings

okay so i put my gray bead on i'm gonna feed that through

and up through the middle i hear birds singing on your side oh

it's so lovely isn't it i just couldn't bear myself to close the window yet i'm like it's okay

i got a little bit of car noise here and there isn't so bad oh you do nancy she beats from the

bottom up one button [Laughter]

i don't have a competition but still [Music]

awesome we're soul sisters nancy

push this up a little bit so you guys can see what we're doing

there we go now if you're noticing um

[Music] stuff on my fingers you may not be but that's just glue i do wash my hands i

have some too yeah i was busy making disney breaths and all

kinds of stuff today so amber and i both got our hair cut short so

yes i thought well let's make some pretties for in our short hair so yeah that's what i was working on

trish very kindly i i start chemo tomorrow so trish very kindly

uh chopped her hair along sadly we couldn't be at the store together but uh

in in along with me and i'm wearing my yes that's beautiful amber i love that

i could i can't think of the my fight bracelet i guess yeah breast cancer awareness yeah

your fight bracelet i think that's a good term for it so guys i was gonna put that next bead

on but then i realized that it's time for me to do three across again

oh yeah i did that when i was practicing earlier yes because i have no i have four on so

i do not never mind so yeah we're just gonna listen i thought i was there but i'm not

oh i did i did four so my pattern is off of you like different from yours oh yes

it's time to start that row i didn't even trust myself so we're

gonna do like we did at the bottom where we're gonna take now you have one more don't i you're right you have one more

row no yes you're doing a double oh you're doing

that four right no nine these are doubled yeah

it's okay i know both of us

ah jones says send you lots of love hugs and prayers your way amber she sure can use them guys

yeah early this morning uh insurance finally approved it so i

get to start tomorrow

yep you'll have your hubby by your side yes

for five to six hours oh my gosh that's crazy i never thought it was like that i

didn't think it took that long but yeah well it depends on how many i'm getting four different drugs so

okay that's why gotcha yeah it takes time i guess so

so yeah i started my new row but i'm only gonna do one on each side

so i'm copying the one i have here earlier yes but i also have this one

i was trying all different ways having all kinds of fun yeah real simple just like the ring a real

quick project real simple i'm gonna put that down just a smidge so

you can see a little better guys and jules has used so many tile beads recently that you can definitely um

reuse extras yeah all kinds of fun things you could do wouldn't it be pretty to make one of

these in rainbow like with all your little extras yes that'd be cute

and you could definitely do this you could do this with um rondelles you can

do this with crystals that we won't name like there's you know it doesn't have to be a

two-hole bead that cracks me up every time it's like harry potter

yes we don't talk about bruno no there you go

the latest right thank you kara i really appreciate your prayers thank you i really appreciate that so

um yeah so it doesn't have to be a two-hole bead

we are just it just looks really cool with the tile beads that's why we're doing it

but uh it does yeah i like the way it looks yeah you could do a buttonhole with a a

bunny clearing with anything really round beads would look super cool yeah

they would fire polish would look super cool all right so you're finishing up i finished up my bottom row

okay i'm gonna go back now through this bottom row the top of it

doesn't matter if it's on the bottom or the top now because it's already locked in there

and now i'm going to bead from the bottom up and add in

my other side and do the same thing we were doing on the other side just

beading around the one the two warps not the four

so just on the opposite side

and i'm just trying to get my my needle into position so i can start my other side

but going back up now you're going to be doing you could flip your loom or

you could just do the up so you start on the bottom instead of the top of the bead

now that for those of us who work bottom down for those of us who work

top no top down bottom up there you go

uh and i'm sitting here agreeing with you as you're saying you're going to do the opposite

so just do the opposite of what you did what you normally do yes

so i'm going to flip my limb as well no

i do so you could flip it i kept mine in place uh whatever you're most comfortable with

um usually i loom like kind of sideways but i wasn't sure if you could you guys

could see it that well so i had it straight on but it looks like it's so you can

see i'm working my way up it's still pretty oh

[Music]

[Music] so we're working on these but i don't know how well i'll be but i'm excited

trish is going to teach my other technique next week yes uh

and an ombre we're going to do an ombre so it'll be this earring with an ombre

that's going to be so cute oh my goodness i can't wait

so pretty i'm sitting here dancing to amber singing yay

joan cause i'm working my way back to you

you're a good singer happening over in this department believe

[Laughter] me you can let any of us know and you

can let joan jules trish or i know if you order tonight and we will send you it's an

easter egg uh pattern it's really cute um we'd love to share it with you guys

so and free gift from jesus and free gift from jules so lots of good yummy goodiness if you

order tonight using the affiliate links yes

and if you forget to use the link and you wanted to go to us you can just tell jewel let yeah let jewels know

because friends as much as we love this we don't get paid to do this but we love

it we just get the affiliate so you truly are a blessing if you use it

yes for sure because we love jules she's awesome and we're happy to do this for her and she's

very good to us yes she's an awesome sauce lady

yes very good to us she's a mad fan i don't know why i'm i am like you were

on it tonight probably totally tired and probably get a big day

um so i'm gonna get my name thank you nancy i'm gonna get my needle back in position

because i'm actually gonna do my pico stitch before i take mine off the loom

yes so i'm just going to put it back where i want it i want to start up at the top

i highly recommend if you're going to do the picot to switch to the beading needle the jululum

needle is great for the looming but the picot is difficult yeah this is just a seed bead

needle guys because i know um by practicing this that um as many times as you have to go

through the beads yeah it worked worked out better for me personally because i

actually cracked this hobby but it wasn't because there's anything wrong with the jewelry needles they're perfect

but when you have to put all that extra stuff on it gets crowded in those beads

so while she's showing you pico i'm just going back and reinforcing so

okay get that in the view there guys

so i'm just going to cross over here and i'm going to do one side at a time

i'm going to spotlight you so they can see the picot really well okay all right so i'm just going to get my

needle back on this side i'm just going to start up the right hand side and i'm just going to keep it in position like

this my loom okay let me get these out of the way and we will do

um some 11os like i said this color is in frosted transparent frosted rosaline

it's one of my favorites i'll put them right here so you can see them guys really cute

oh kelly great question polymer clay beads um

so you're talking bracelets if you're talking bracelets i would go with either the original or the the one i'm using

which is i'll put us both back up so this is a small and trish has the original can you

turn your site like so she can see right raise my camera up a little bit so

these these two are the best uh ones to do um bracelets on

um the great size so most spray this is about 13 inches if i

remember correctly and bracelets you know can run anywhere from 5 inches up to 10 inch you know so this

is a either one of these two are really great to do that kelly

i'll let you go back to your pico okay um so yeah i got my lemons out here guys

and i'm going to pick up i've got my needle in this position at the bottom

and i'm gonna pick up three seed beads

and i'm just gonna push those down my needle and you're not crossing over on this

as far as every time you put your beads on you can go the whole way across but i

just try to do the single bead on the outside because then i'm getting less thread in the other ones that i need to

use once i get to that other side great idea

so and then you just pull that in and you can see it gives you the cutest little trim i think that's my favorite way

um yeah i love pico edging too yeah to finish so and then what i'm going to do here guys is i'm going to take my needle

up or through and up through the next bead i can get my angle

right getting it through there there we go did you knot it off before you started

the picot edging no i'm using the same thread yep well you could do an a safety

knot in there if you want you could do a safety knot and um you could use a separate thread for that matter if you

wanted to true um but i just this seems to work good i still think i

have enough thread so we'll play or by ear here so i'm going to pick up three more 11 0s

and then go through the next hole on the on that bead

push it up through give it a good

i'm gonna put it into position and there we have two just the cutest little stinking thing

ever no yeah so while trish is doing that i'm starting my second earring and trish can

show you hers you want to make sure you leave lots of space because we're going to tie off the warp

threads once we take it off so just fyi

yes absolutely and really i i could slide mine up a

little bit don't tell anybody [Laughter] i have done that multiple times yes

i do that too but yeah because you know none of us are perfect no we're all human and

and we don't talk about bruno and we don't talk about them oh my gosh you're giving disney a lot of

credits you are full of it i really am aren't i

i am tired i have somebody has energy huh i don't know if that's energy or punchiness punchiness maybe

no i have been in how many doctors offices in the last two weeks

let's not even not even go there so you gotta keep your keep your head up

you know keep a good sense about it

all right so there's our next one if you have any questions guys don't don't hesitate to ask questions you know

yeah we're happy to help so i'm just going to angle my needle

and put it through that hole if i get like i said it takes a little maneuvering

especially when you have shaky hands but let's try this this way

i swear like my hands my motor skills are getting worse yeah and i use my hands every day

i know we can thank lyme disease for that we're up messes aren't we we are

we are oh goodness so i'm going to turn it this way guys so i can see it a little better

because it's looking very pretty i love that pink and gray combo so thank you

pink and whatever that color is called taupe

thank you in case anyone's looking forward on the

side yes for sure yeah if you look um click on the link for the six millimeter

you will see all of the ones i was showing earlier and all of their glory

okay cara yeah thanks um i just thought of that as i was doing my first pair

because i thought you know i don't want me to be filling the threads up on the other side you

know i can just use this bead to do what i need to do and the same on this side so it's not a chance of me

cracking the beads you know so oh you know i come up with it

sometimes better for the goods sometimes not but

but thank you i hope that helps got you guys when you're doing it

if you want to do a picot and i and that's the way i always just

think i have to add more and more and more and more and it gets ahead of me sometimes but

a lot of the bracelets that i make get so huge so i'm funny it's just like

a few more loops won't hurt anything right of course not i'm going to move these

over so you guys can see better and the same thing here

actually on this one guys when you get to this top one you're gonna go the whole way across

because then you can start back down the other side okay so we're not filling up the hole unnecessarily i

don't know how well that sounds it just um yeah it works better that way

but for me personally anyway so i'm on the other side

now i'm on the other side and i have this sides all done if you can see you know it's hard to see that color oh it

looks great yeah it matches your nails so well it's it's almost like i planned it but i didn't

uh i did my entire life from working today i mean i've only had these on a day and i already messed up

oh it's all right i'm so sad i'm not allowed to wear nail polish during my treatment oh that is

sad so sad all about the pretty nails when i'm done

oh sandy says she likes to um hide the threads too oh nice yes

i do too it's all about the hidden threads a few

times so there we go on this side we're just going into that next hole

and then the same process i'm going to turn it this way so i can see where i'm

needing to go here

all right whoops see that i thought i had it but

like i said it's a little tricky you might want to wear your glasses over get that magnifier out and get that

magnifier out i have my glasses on so what's that zoey something about over 40 that's what it

takes i'm almost in the next department pretty

soon a few more years we don't talk about that yet

we'll worry about that when we get there right

so i've got my three and i'm going to do the same thing here push through and out

of the first bead

okay back through the next one

three more seed beads these are hard to see on camera aren't they these were as lean yeah

they're so pretty in person they are they're gorgeous especially the frosted i like them all

but my the frosted are my favorite

yeah they go with the frosted ones i'm using yes absolutely

okay three more how's everything going for you over

there amber good i'm almost um working on my second earring

oh cool so yep

yeah i cheated i have mine done ahead of time

well i told you to in case i couldn't do it so you're all good

you're all good in the hood would it be so nice if youtube would let

us play music while we bead it then you don't have to listen to the

usings of amber [Laughter] for the entertainment we didn't

[Laughter] [Music]

almost there guys and i'm sorry if you do hear the street traffic we do live on a

little bit of a main road it's so busy but it's busier than mine

well you live in the suburbs i live in town that's true makes sense true beans

yeah for being in town it's not terribly busy no

um but we do get the cars

okay one more set and then we'll get everything tied off

and show you where i'm at see yes oh looking good you're almost done

if you when you're done if you want to show how to take it off and tie it sure

and then i can show the uh put in the ribbon crimp on if you'd like sounds awesome okay awesome sauce

okay so we've got our last bit i'll go back to you since the pico's so tiny

we've got our last bit i can't be too fast with this camera but of pico it still looks a little blurry

but um so that's what our finished look is so i

have taken my thread just through the one bead and i'm going to tie it off

here in between both of these beads so i've gone and my bead is coming up oop i'm sorry guys

beads coming up and i'm gonna put my needle down through on the other side

of the thread okay

and then i'm gonna bring it back up

through on on the same warp but on the other side and then just run my needle through

that loop okay i can grab it without it popping out

there we go and i'm just going to give that a tug

now i'm going to do this one more time so i'm going to pull the the knots down

when i put the last one in so then it'll be on the actual bottom of the

the back of the piece excuse me we get there

so same thing i'm taking the needle down and i'm sure everybody has their own

techniques on tying off but this is something i found that works good for me

i always like to share the way we do things so in case you haven't thought of it then

maybe it'll help you know so there's our second knot and now i'm gonna take my needle down through beside

that knot like so i'm gonna pull it and i'm gonna pull

down on it and that flips my needle to the or my excuse me my knot to the back okay

so now i can go ahead and snip this cord off

or use the thread burner yeah um i had an incident earlier yesterday with a thread burner so i'm

gonna kind of just instead of cutting the

the thread i wanna it's so tiny in there i just yep no i

don't always do that and i don't know i i've been using my trimmers right but

anyone else you are more than welcome to and you can see here even right there there's i double knotted that and you

can't see it the pico the picot is in front of it so you could just leave it as is but i'm

going to take her back through just for good measure you can also go back a little to the

middle of the earring and do the knot there and then pull it under as well yeah but

like this one that's not really an option oh yeah no but i did that yes with this one so i

my threads underneath now and i double good double knotted it underneath very good

that's another one i was just giving another idea yeah absolutely i mean and i think normally that's what i do i go

back sort of to the middle like you do amber um i just was like okay what do i do with this oh right with the picot

yeah well because the opening in the middle yeah you know

because it's different that's where you go yeah that's true yep so

very true i'm going to squeeze this a little bit with my pliers because we need to get it threaded and it's not

cooperating so oh no well the only thing is with using the

seed bead needles which i'm sure most of you know the holes uh for the eye of the needle

are much smaller yes so it can be a little challenging at times

for people yes kelly we used wildfire tonight for both um that's why we were talking about the

thread burner possibly uh getting the wildfire on the warp

so this project we we're using wildfire for both the warp and the beading right

and you can use same color on both i used gray for the base and pink for the

stitching but you know you can certainly use the same color i used white so yeah

gray probably blends in really well i went with white because of the i don't know with the clear well it's nice

because it pops too a little bit with that you know the white does this kind of blends

you know so it's all on what you're looking for guys too right so i did my two different earrings that i had done earlier

and uh she's tying her stuff off there um i will show you

so taking it off the loom is very similar on both looms so you're gonna go find the

knob on the loom whether it's on the original

so that i don't have my original near me but here's a baby loom so there's a knob like this on the original

and you just go near the knob as close as you can get

and you want to hold your warp threads and you want to close cut as close

to the knob as you can you want to the reason i'm holding the warp threads

is so my project doesn't go flying and i'll go back and clean this up later

and then the other end was just where i wrapped so i could just unwrap it and pull it off

so and that would work the same on a baby or the original the same technique

and i'm getting ready to cut if you guys want to see me cut this off it's the same concept but

just the difference on the and i found i don't know let me raise this up a little

bit guys that there's a little bit more springiness in this when you cut it

so because it gets with that being plastic and having that bar it gets crazy tight sometimes

which is good but i like to hold my loom and hold my

threads as well and then i'll just go in and cut them and you can see how that pop is

guys that's why it's important to hold your threads okay yeah it doesn't pop as much on the

wood but but it's a good practice to have no matter

which loom you're taking off oh so i want to just put you in there how do i do that there we go

got it okay okay so now we're off the loom and

so for the the before i cut it apart try and make sure you give each of the

earrings off of your loom enough space as i mentioned before to

tie it off so i tried it my best to go in the middle

and cut those warps okay

and then these are super long lots of extra you want to just cut those

end loops too you won't need that much but this is about a good amount just

enough that you're gonna take two of the warp ends

and double knot it so you don't want to pull too hard enough that it gets right up

next to the bead but if you pull too hard you're going to mess up with your your warp around all

the others so just tying a knot there

and then here and then we do the same thing on the other side

yeah you want to make sure and tie that a couple times at least that's what i do i like to make sure it's quite

secure yeah two three times yeah and then i also get my hypo cement out

yes and put it on the nuts before i trim

them yes that's definitely a good technique to do as well because sometimes guys even if you think

you have the knot as tight as you can possibly get it they can still

slip out so that little bit of glue is just a little bit of insurance

so well i'm going to leave my threads

um longer yeah longer because i'm going to be putting on the ribbon crimp but

i like to use those for a little bit of security oh yeah i totally agree

amber does as well i don't trim them until the very last minute right now

absolutely so back down a little bit if you have some hypo cement a great way

to get it ready is just heating it up and not squeezing it so

that's what i'm doing now and i got all my stuff out and ready what are you laughing at

i i the the jeopardy theme just went through my head because because it's like waiting for

the glue to to dry yeah or warm up what we were talking about earlier when

you take it off now these warps down here might be a little short

so very gently i can pull i wouldn't recommend it all the time but you could pull your warp

through a little make it slightly longer since i have so much on this end just to make it easier

to tie off but do it very gently you don't want to make your beads go funky no

yeah that's a good tip joan thank you

these little threads oh i love my hemp though i gotta say yeah

hemp is much easier to tie knots with yes most definitely but it wouldn't look right with this

project i don't think no i do like the way the wildfire looks with it for sure

very feminine and yeah and we'll use bees and all wildfire next week too

yes we will and bead slides

so we're doing the ribbon crimps this week next week will be

the bead slides i don't know if i have bead slides uh oh they came with this one i made with um

oh the brown kit there yeah okay yeah there should be some in there okay i'll

check it so what we're talking about is jules has a an earth tone kit i don't know if

there's any left but we did a bunch of projects with bracelets and earrings and stuff all of our videos live on youtube

yeah so if you've missed something or want to learn a technique uh all of these techniques you can find

somewhere on youtube or ask one of us and we will we will tag you or send or

send you a link to make sure you get to the right video and i actually there was a lady in the group this week that

needed to know how to put her ribbon crimps on and i tagged i um messaged her

to the two videos as well as posting them on the feed on the group so if you have any questions about that that's

there we do this a lot with the so you'll see this quite often the crimp

you know putting on the ribbon crimps um yes trish and i really like

magnetic clasps so the ribbon crimps

yeah i didn't add in my uh chain yet my safety chain yet but no yep and then yeah

we really do like the to crimp i have some that are with buttons like

my um love cuff i do oh yeah the way it looks oh yeah it does there are certain ones well the button i wanted for this

one was just too big to hold it yeah yeah i had to switch it up

beautiful so i'll just use it as a centerpiece so are you ready to show them how to do

this almost yep i was just going to tie off my other one here and i'm almost to the top i was trying to look on the

website to see about that earthzone kit but i uh

so i know we started late so we're at about probably 50 minutes even though it

says an hour on our screen yeah that's fine yes kelly you can use

the hemp on these looms um yes and we have many projects that live

on youtube and jules does that use hemp we use hemp a lot so

um and don't forget guys free gift with purchase tonight make sure to use the affiliate links

and that'll get you over there and you get a free gift with purchase and amber is kindly giving us one of her

designs bracelet patterns for a real cute easter egg bracelet too

so you let one let us know when you order and we will make sure that you get that

she is so kindly doing those those patterns are awesome that she's coming up with i a little

birdie told me she might have a poodle one for me but i'm not sure [Music]

so anyway guys so we're gonna do the the ribbon crimps now so i just have my crimps here

um i use super glue gel a lot for this you can use uh uh gs hypo it

really doesn't matter whatever makes you happy and that's all

you need add a little bit of ribbon so i'm gonna cut my ribbon using these which i shouldn't

that's how i got them doll yeah you know that oh yeah

i do it too okay so what i like to do guys

is kind of put my ribbon underneath here okay i'm going to leave a little bit of

an end so then i can trim it when i bring it back to the middle so i'm going

to fold this over and then i'm not explaining it well guys but we're going to leave a little end

here and i'm going to fold it over like so

and then we're going to fold this end back over to the middle so we don't get a seam on the outside

most of the time your ribbon crimps will encapsulate your ribbon but sometimes it doesn't so that's a good way to avoid

having a raw edge okay so i just lay it there like this

hold my strands down you can see how i have them pointing down there and i try to make sure they're kind of

pulled in because i if i want to trim or do whatever i do not want my

strings to be sticking out to the side too much okay so

put my ribbon there take a little take the cup off with your teeth

and then put some gel over top of it yeah i know

about that teeth technique there yeah but i have um

tried putting ribbon crimps on every every which way and i have found this is my technique

that i prefer because i've really done some

some neat ones over the years there with putting the ribbon crimps on so i'm just going to give this a little tug over

because i'd like this to be in just a smidge from the edge so i'm just going to kind of pull that

over make sure it's not on your bead and press down on your glue at the same time

okay and this is just guys this is glueing to your threads we've already locked everything in place

but it's giving you something for your ribbon crimp to clamp into it because

with the wildfire you don't always have to do this with hemp but with the wildfire you really should

put ribbon ends on on it because put ribbon on your rib underneath your ribbon ends

you're laughing at me i swear we're about to prepare

that's okay like i said that's what this show is about being human and don't stick it to your bead mat either guys

yeah i do that all the time too so i'm going to move that out of the way bring this

here so once we have that guys i'm just going to put a little bit more glue down this is my thread from up there we don't

want that about halfway across don't stick your fingers to it

nope especially not the super glue because oh my goodness that's no fun no it's not a friend of

mine had a whole bunch um come out of the bottle one time and she was making she was trying to seal

something off with her jewelry making and it just coated her hands oh it was awful i felt

so bad for her so i'm just going to hold that there in place again we're making sure we're not

sticking to anything because this stuff is vicious yeah it is my ribbon is

let me look at my little thing here we have

mine's three years quarter inch and i have three eighths yeah so i mean

pretty much whatever you have on hand as long as it's not too um you're gonna have to trim it anyways

yeah yeah you will trim it that's true so it doesn't really matter so i'm just going

to go in now and i'm going to trim that where that is in the center with my scissors

and now we have our seam in the middle okay i'm feeling glue on my fingers that's

not working yeah i got glue in mine too we've got it now i'm going to put the

other one on the other side so we'll do it one more time here as i keep my bead mat out of the way

i'm just going to push that down i want that to be as even with that as i can

okay and like i said like amber said we're going to trim it in half almost any way

i do with the quarter inch so whatever you got use what you got

so same thing we're gonna lay the earring down here great project for scraps absolutely

leftovers and scraps i always say use your stash you know

if you buy it a new um strand of beads okay buy a new strand of beads but then

use stuff from your stash to go with it super fun you know shopping your stash i mean shopping

shopping is fun too but yes so same thing i'm just going to lay that glue over the top

okay and i'm going to bring this across

gently and making sure i'm not going over top of my beads and this is kind of awkward at first here

guys until it starts setting sorry about that that just kind of moved but

once you get it where you want it

it'll hold real nicely for you it's super glue

super duper it means business so i always as i do this once i feel like it has a little

bit of a hold you could put this like do this on a piece of wax paper or on

something like if you have a rubber mat or something so it'll pull up easily like like i'm

using leather so it's coming off but mine's on my bead bat yeah well and

that's the thing i've done three times and it's supposed to stay nice so when i make videos i don't look

like a loser but it never does what are you saying

what are you calling me i'm not calling you anything i'm saying so i don't look like a loser

i'm just auditioning that guys i'm just bending it where i think i want it okay and i'm gonna kind of hold my finger

there and then i'm gonna do the same thing just put put it about halfway across

and then lay my ribbon down and hold it there

not long enough that your finger sticks to it but you can hear it pulling up too

yeah but yeah we're getting a good it's locking in there nicely for us okay

and then um we're gonna do the same thing we're gonna cut it right in the middle

so we have seen the seam in the middle

all right looking good looking good so now

as amber had mentioned i like to cut everything down you can use scissors you

can use thread cutters this would probably be easier to do because of the thread and

the ribbon but you will dull them yep if you do that so so i'm just

basically as a as i'm sniffing this ribbon it's it's snipping off those extra

threads as well okay

here we go okay and i like to use my chain nose pliers i have a favorite pair

that i like to use and of course i don't have them over here right now so but we're gonna go for it i think we can

handle it i'm spoiled by those wubbers

yeah for sure so here this is a good plier as well but i

do have to say i prefer those but anyway i love you be the lawn um

i'm using my uh nylon jaw yeah you can also use that i don't have much luck doing that but i

know amber does that yeah as well so so i'm just taking it and i put it in the jaws of my

uh chain nose or in your um whatever pliers you choose

yeah and i'm just gonna give it and make sure before you squeeze guys make sure you're

backed off enough that you're not gonna squeeze on top of that bead even with just your plier

again speaking from experience you don't want to do that not good

it'll crack your bead uh yep especially if you have heavy duty pliers it'll definitely crack it so and

i'm just working around on that guys i'm just kind of pressing it a little here a

little there you don't want to give any drastic squeezes because you're going to get marks or indents

on your ribbon crimp but that's basically it right one of the reasons you can use the

nylon jaw pliers and honestly i should have centered that a little bit better but you guys will i know you will you're

better doing that but um so let's take another attempt here and see if we can center this one better

so i'm just going to trim it again on this side

does anybody have their ac in yet we have central air so yes yeah you have

central yeah but using their ac i should have said but no

yeah i'm at the point where i probably could have last night but the humidity was

really done last night so i'm just fitting that over that cut end

and trying to center the best that i can on the actual beads

move that over just a hair and see that's why i use my other ones

these slip unfortunately on on this kind of thing they don't slip into general right i don't know that

they had their ribbon crimps in their mind when they were designing them sure they did not

they were thinking of you yeah i guess so i'm just

give that a little squeeze if you wanted to under the ribbon clip crimps you can always put a dab of glue

yes um if you wanted but i i always i feel pretty secure once

i go on my ribbon and i don't need to put more but that's totally your call i

mean that's extra security so there we go guys you don't have to and

that one is really good i'm gonna have to [Laughter] deal with that later

but we'll look at this end right so all i'm gonna do guys i have some

really gorgeous these are gem cut beads that jules also

carries and i thought these ones are really pretty like oh yes neutral

color and then they have like a purple clear inside of them you know like a

transparent purple so i thought i would use one of those as my dangles dangle i'm

just going to do the wide angle but here here i just use just the hearts

you know you can use anything you want so go ahead amber you're oh no i was trying to there we go i was trying to

switch it okay perfect they can still see you but i'm there too

yeah i'm not floating out and never never you want to show them how to do the jingle

dangle uh sure sure

if not that's okay i can do that i've got all kinds of earring craziness going on here so um

yeah so you'll need two jump rings one for the top one for the bottom

an ear wire and i did two dingle dangles and a charm

so grab a charm here

i get it eventually i'll do the next this one

that one i was trying to just show you but oh just me then you click on my

little the little head on my okay there we go sure there you go um

in here yep so these are uh come if you buy the original

jewel loom the you'll get a kit with some of these beauties in it or if you

um also this is was the january kit

that jules put out i don't believe there's any extras so i'm gonna pick pick up purple then i

have a charm i just have eye pins tonight quick and easy

um just slide on the eye pin hi gable

yes joan the the the uh charms the wood charms from oh yeah will be awesome on

here i just didn't have any that matched i have a lot of charms but

except for like a rainbow or something and that wasn't really right i didn't have any doubles that'll be

coming soon though yes yes uh i had them here to show them i don't

know what i did with them uh bummer yes there are beautiful wood charms and

there are more coming so that would be totally awesome but i

didn't have any matching ones for tonight but and then i like my uh one my uh super

duper one step looper yep too especially for things like this keeps it

simple keeping it simple don't go too close that you crack the bead make a loop

and then um you need

your pliers so you need two sets of pliers when you

open a jump ring always good to have two and always open it

towards you and away from you not up and down um

so close up this loop and

you pop pop the charm on there or the this dingle dangle

through the loop of the there i'm gonna grab my other pliers real

quick put on a charm

and the wood charms would be awesome they are a whole bunch in the shop

and then if you know how to make a simple loop you know real quick you can do that too

um you don't have to have the looper

our happy looper here but happy looper

everything's falling off my jump ring hi gail i did i don't know if i said hi

to you honey if i didn't i apologize uh yeah we're running a late show

tonight yeah we waited a little to see if we could let uh

neely finish up his show for sure since he was using the silver itself jewel loom tonight so yes

definitely good go check that out as well guys so when we post this we'll probably joan

will probably weed out some of the talking at the beginning so it'll probably end up being an hour because i think we talked

about 10 minutes yeah she's good at that so yeah so

here we go and when you close up your jump ring

same thing front uh this way not up and down

and then add another jump ring to add on our ear wire

i'm doing surgery over here all right now i gotta take that ribbon crimp off if it's bugging me

that's why you wanted me to finish the project

you know how i do i gotta have it

and there we go folks perfect perfecto mundo

i think my charms backwards but oh well i'll fix it

[Music] so funny i had two slightly different designs one shorter one longer

yeah cool cool beans and i will show you

just a second here once i get my crimp back on do you want to flip oh

flip your camera well i'm gonna as soon as i finish this i'll show them how i did my dangle and then i will definitely

flip okay just let me hook this in so it's not crooked

yes sorry we went long tonight uh but we are trying to let neely finish out there before we uh started

and trish is going to show you her earring here in a moment and if you

haven't heard this is the one we're doing next week

this is the one we did tonight so definitely if you didn't get to see

the whole show watch the replay okay guys so

this is what i used i used a piece of that gorgeous chef glass but you could put multiples on here you

could do um sorry i kind of worked my earring a little bit when i

did that it's okay now but yeah i'm vicious but so yeah this beautiful glass so i'm

going to go ahead and switch around here
