um so we're gonna do our nightmare necklace this week and this is a little bit cool can you see it at all there we

go yeah definitely um and this is a super cup uh fun necklace for uh the holiday and we're

using our button again um I'll go over that on different ways

that you can put your button on or if you have lockets or pendants or something like that you'd rather put in

the middle you can certainly do that so this is our project and we do have the

sorry silk tie on the back so I hope you guys are ready to get started

there's Robin hello Trish and Amber pleased to be here and it's good to see you doing better first thank you and how

good Miss Amber is doing too to be with us tonight so what a treat what a treat

so I'm gonna hug and switch my cameras here okay and then we can go ahead and

get started because this is quite the project here guys and just take just a second for my

camera to register here hey Vicky's in the house

friends if you have a chance make sure you like and also uh share

um share our lives so we can get more new friends hooked on looming yes for sure for sure

okay guys so to get started I'm gonna use the original Loom but you can certainly use uh the wisdom Warrior

the small wisdom were not the extra small one but the the one that is the

same size as your original okay those either one of those will work I feel like sorry about the camera I'm gonna

move that up just a smidge so we can see there

there we go okay so I'm gonna start as always by uh prepping the loom here with

our warps so I'm gonna take my uh original jewel loom here again I remind

you every week but I will continue to do so because I am guilty of breaking these

so remember these are flexible not bendable

period end of sentence [Music]

end of that into my tummy and pop my bar into this bottom hole

here and I'm just going to give it a flex just enough

so I can get my bar to pop up in there just like so okay

so we have it prepped and ready to

um put our hemp on now so I'm using the 0.5 hemp on this you can use if you want

to use the um hi Danielle hi honey

um if you want to use the one millimeter you could certainly do that too

um as always on the projects this is all up to you guys on what makes you happy

with sizes colors just make it your own so I wrapped around this knot twice

and I'm just going to tie a knot on here actually I'm going to give myself a little bit more there to tie with it

makes life just a little easier so I'm leaving myself you know a good three inches four inches

here to tie this to the knob okay just like so and then

I'm gonna give it another tie just just regular knot all right just like that

and then I'm going to flip my loom over and I'm going to bring my hemp over the

top of it and put my hand down into one of the grooves just on the edge here

and then I'm just going to pull that across and as I'm pulling this across I'm going to keep the tension the whole

time as I'm putting this onto my loom okay and I'm going to go in approximately the

same area on the other side because when the with the first one you don't have to be exact but the rest you're going to

want to um excuse me

destruct it um the rest you're going to want to keep your spaces okay so we're

gonna go four two four that's it that's all we're doing on this one it's a simple concept so we're gonna skip four

grooves so one two three and four so we're gonna go right in there

and I always double check myself okay and keeping the tension and you can

see I brought that over and as I bring it over and I'm going to take my hand and reposition it I'm keeping my thumb

on top of that to keep that tension the whole time okay so then now I have the hemp and I

can keep tension with this hand I can go ahead and rotate again

and do four one two three four and then I'm going to grab this button

oops sorry I'm on the frame there guys on the back keeping the tension

we're going to skip two and same thing I'm going back across

skip two grab our button and I can fill my hemp

don't you do it it likes argue with me sometimes so I

look like this one two three four one two and then we're gonna do four here

again this is simple this is a simple warp anybody can do it

for and I'm going to do four on the end there flip again

do four on this end one two three four and then into the fifth one

and then we're gonna tie off around the knob on the back and I'm just going to

go around this a couple times okay and then again I'm placing my

finger there oh we just decided to not at the end that's fine you can just

foreign just get right off there so I'm still holding

tension on my strand here and I'm going to put this string underneath the other

um uh strands of hemp sorry guys we're gonna fade there for a second and then

I'm just going to tie this off I'm going to take this and as I'm doing this I'm still trying to keep that tension on

everything okay I'm pushing my finger down up here sorry

going off the screen there I get into it sometimes I just get Slip

Sliding Away on the screen and I'm just going to take this little bit I think I'm gonna use one of my

pliers just to give me a holding hand here and I'm just going to reach you this circle on this real fine stuff

sometimes I need to do that because I like using my pliers too yeah because I just can't get a grip on it

with my Clumsy fingers so I do that and then once I have that tied on it and you

see how I pulled with my pliers guys it tightened it up really good that way okay and that's the key to doing your

warps that is the key because it needs to be

tight the better your warps the better your whole project will go okay yes

all right so there we go we have four two four all right

I'm not liking the camera for some reason and now I'm just going to take the bar

off and I'm just going to do the same thing that I did to put it in I'm just gonna push it against my tummy back here

you don't need to see my tummy but you know what's up there got a spelling

huh your goddess belly my God spelling that's right and same thing I'm just

gonna give it a flex pop this top Rod out and then pull the bottom out and now

we're ready okay

oh you know I'm decided y'all make everything look too easy Melissa said

well Melissa at any time honey if you have any

questions or you know need anything we have a great group here and everyone will be happy to help you out

anyone will be so okay so now I'm just going to trim this

off so it doesn't get my way at an excess bit of string there I've already threaded my needle because

you know been there done that it's easier just to thread it off camera so I threaded my needle and I'm using

the black wildfire and the 0.006.15 okay guys

so I'm just going to tie this off I'm going to move this up here move that stuff

foreign and you can see the bottom I'm just going to tie this off

on the left that one popped out let me pop that one

back over sometimes you'll get it like when you're loot when you're putting your warps on one will pop over a space

or whatever and you can just give the give a little bit of a flex and just push that strand back where it's

supposed to go so on the left hand uh warp I'm gonna put my Wildfire down through there and

I'm just going to give myself a knot and I'm going to leave a tail

so that way then if I want to weave it back in at the end I can do that now let's see let me get our necklace

out here so you can see here we're doing ribbon ends so we don't need to account

for anything extra on the End by adding seed beads or anything like that this is

just in this pattern I did um all green in the middle but I decided

on the next one I'm doing um it's all it's going to be variegated so it'll be a purple green a purple

green purple green okay so it's a basic pattern but we're going to start

look at these beads guys again I have to take a little aside here and show you

these so the coolest they are it just screams Nightmare

Before Christmas to me I don't know why but and then we're using these black

ones that have um you I don't know if you can see the red striations through it

no it's kind of hard but and then just some four millimeter fire polish

they're on the bottom so first we're going to grab we're gonna

just do tile bead fire polish tile bead that's going to be our pattern the whole

way across so we'll start here with our green so

when I'm putting my needle through my tile beads I'm kind of looking at it like I want it to sit in the project

like so okay because I'm going to stitch through these holes first and then come

back around and do the top holes so it's going to be um the way you want to pick your beads

up so I'm just going to pick up a tile bead first then add a fire polish

and a towel bead and I'm picking it up in that back hole there all right and I'm just going to slide

these down on my wall Park and then I'm going to shuttle my needle across underneath

okay your camera is a little out of focus Trish I'm not sure

all right come on

all right you need to focus people need to see

what is happening to you it's focusing on your hand so maybe

there we go you go all right that's the trick so as I have it underneath there I'm just going to take my my left hand

and I'm going to push these beads up in between the warps that we made okay

I'm about just a hair here and then I'm just going to take my

needle as I'm holding those in place and I'm going to go through we went

underneath and we're coming up over this farthest um work and we're going to go through

the tile bead through a fire polish and through the towel bead and we're

staying on top of the warps at this point because if you can think of it this way guys you're trying to sandwich

your beads in between the the with with the Wildfire you're

trying to sandwich it onto the to the hemp if that makes sense yes

okay so now on the next one we're gonna do

the next line see how our our um tile beads are kind of just hanging

there of course they are because we need to hook in that second hole so what I what you'll do there is you want to flip

up this first tile bead and put your needle through it and I usually just take it the whole way through

and then I want to pick up a fire polish because there's two fire polish between each two tiles so I'm just going to pick

up another green fire polish at that point and I'm going to push that

down on my Wildfire okay I have that there so it's ready to

go in position then I'm just going to take my needle and put it underneath and put it through that second towel bead

all right see if I can do this without getting too

and I've found guys if you are like me and sometimes your motor skills aren't what they should be

um the if you hurt hold further down on your needle to try to push it through say a towel bead or something it'll go

through easier at least I found that that works for me okay so now that we have that underneath now

we're just going to go over the top here and we're going to go through the towel bead

through a fire polish and through the towel bead so now that's one set of beads

okay

looks great yeah so then next I'm just gonna do a

different color but same kind of version I'm gonna pick up one of our black beads

here and one of our purple this is four

millimeter fire polish guys I don't know if I said that but I should have if I didn't

same thing I'm just putting on our towel bead a fire polish a towel bead

sounds like I'm saying Tau but I'm not a tile trying to say that

and I just push those down on my cording push some up in between now when you do

your first row for any newbies out there keep in mind that it's gonna be loosey-goosey until you get it

um hooked in there once you get it all secured you're good to go but just keep in mind it's a little can be a little

fussy to get that first row in on any project so now I'm coming out on the right here

and I'm going to go up and over through the tile bead

oh come on through the fire polish and through

another top lead how's everybody doing are they feel like

they're getting it they understand it okay

so same thing I'm going to go through the left underneath through this towel

bead and we're going to pull that the whole wave through

and pick up another one of our purple fur polish

and I'm dropping that in and I'm going to take my needle back underneath here and I'm going to put it

through the second tile yes got it Robin says got it good good

good it's it's fairly simple but for anyone that's new um you you know of course you can

certainly uh go back and watch the video or if you have any questions you can let us know we're happy to help

um I'll how about I'll do one more set and then we'll move on to the putting the loops on

okay so we're just going to go back with our green here same concept

oops did you check all your tile beads before

you demonstrated I do not I play you know

I play it by ear but it's not a bad idea to do

the situation I have found is I can just back it out pretty easy if

I get to one that's not going to work I can just pull it out and just put new ones on but if you don't want bothered

with that if that happens to happen happen to you you can certainly check them which checking them means you're just

going to put your needle through all the holes before you um decide to use them

just check them that way okay so I'm just going through this first tile bead again and we're just going to pick up

a fire polish here

and then through the second tile bead

so far so good got it Kristen okay

all right so let me know do you feel comfortable for us to move on guys because that's what I want to make sure

that everyone has this concept before I move on to the next

so next what we're gonna do is the loops on the bottom now I've chosen to accent

it with purple I just think with the purple button it looks really cool but

that's what we're going to be doing now I'm just going to quickly count my beads because

it's been like two weeks since I've done this so once three four five six seven

eight nine ten ten and twelve twelve for all the loops and then for the big one in the middle

let's see seven

fifteen so we have 10 and 15. now you can choose guys you can

um um do different lengths of Loops if you want to I do have a newbie question how

on Earth do I determine the length I need for the warp uh the bead the bead with if you're

talking about are you talking about this way how many grooves

because if that's the case you're going to place your beads what I usually will do is just take my beads and put them up

on my Loom like so and I'm holding that bead

back against it and I can see okay that's going to need about four grooves to fit in there

so she's out so length your your warps are going to

be the length of the Loom that you use if that's what you're asking

no matter what you you're going to want to make sure that you have enough hemp

to go the length of your warp for as many rows as you need okay so basically

I've never had a problem I've always had if if you pick up your hemp and it feels

pretty light and you've used it once or twice already you know you could be a little leery but you know you usually

um will have enough I mean it comes in good you know pretty good size rolls but

let me see yeah okay so here's a good example so this is one that you get from

Jules store just like so that's a good amount of hemp you could do a couple projects with that necklace projects even

this is one that I've opened up and I've used some off of so for this I would not

use it for all my baby Loom I would so hopefully that helps

yeah and just to add to what you're saying is you don't measure out uh the the warps

um until you're done warping so I often take it out of like you showed the

bigger bundle i t i don't cut any off until I've gotten all my warps on right

yeah exactly it's going to be the length of the Loom and once you cut that once

you tie it off work off the spool or the bundle roll thank you Vicky that's the worst supposed to come out of my mouth

me too yes just work off the spool that's the

that's the simple question so let me move this one out of here now that we have the base in place and

I'm going to scooch these beads off here because

we're gonna move on to our loops Terry go ahead I was going to say Terry

you're not the only one who has made that mistake when they first started out so no worries she said she already cut

it and oh okay that's gotcha yeah you did not want to cut it

until you have everything on that's all right I mean we've all been there done that

when you're learning I mean your hair would curl some of the things I did before

so okay so I have 11-0 seed beads here and I have two different colors

um that I am using tonight this is one that I have done that has the

um all the tiles and all of the fire polish in the middle and you can see

um I variegated it on this one like I said and on the one that I was working on on

the other um Loom I do like this better with the two colors of fire polish in the middle

but it is absolutely your choice so we're coming out of the towel bead so

this is where we ended at the end of our so this is me down here this is where we

started I work bottom to top okay guys keep that in mind too if you're a newbie some people work top to bottom some

people work bottom to top I'm a bottom to top person um but it does not matter which way you

do it do whatever is comfortable for you and it'll work out just fine okay

so here is where our um strand of wildfires coming out

and that's where we're just going to start right with that for our loops and see we have a question on average what

is the length of the beaded part of this necklace I love it

um and let me measure that because like I said it's been I did five and a half inches

is what I did on this part let me just double check it on this one too oops yep five and a half inches is what

I did for the front part okay okay so now this strand is this Wildfire

is coming out of just where we ended our last Stitch of our tile beads and fire polish and all I'm going to do I'm going

to just put some of these on my mat because I prefer to pick them up off of there um is just start picking the beads up

you can make um like I said you can make different sizes of Loops if you prefer I just did

all of them consistent except for the center one okay so I'm just going to pick up ten purple

three two

seven come on eight

nine and ten and so we're coming out this top

hole of the tile bead so I'm just going to take my needle I'm going to push these down make sure they'll go over my

needle because foreign mess up my needles and then they don't

want to go

down I think this might be one that I've done that with

okay yeah I'm gonna have to switch needles

guys hold on just a moment please please hold can you play some old music please

[Music] well what what I'm saying Kenny G when you need them right I know right but

what I'm saying guys with that needle is if I get too aggressive with them and I'm pulling them through something maybe

that's a little snug it might mess up the eye of the needle or if I've used it

a hundred times which I tend to do with my needles it will also do that

okay [Music] all right let me drop that I'm gonna

pick out a really pretty one from in here so that one's bent after I bend them you

know I shouldn't be putting them back in here but be amazed how long I keep needles

I know and I have a hundred of them I don't know why I think I need to do

that all right let's lay some here and whenever one looks the best that's the one we're gonna use spent

fence all right there we go there's a good one fingers crossed on that one guys

oh no you have to thread a needle yeah I'm surprisingly I'm getting better at

it than I had been in the past I still choose not to at the beginning but yes

like the curse of the live video or something five yes absolutely

six seven eight nine ten

and there we go right over see I knew it was my fault and then I'm just gonna go into the

second hole of the towel bead on the top here and go through the fire polish the

second hole of the towel bead on the other side and just pull my Wildfire and

there's our first Loop okay so now I'm just I need to get back

um I need to get down to the next row so all I'm gonna do is I'm going to take my

um thread and I'm just going to hop over to the next row because this is black thread it'll blend right in so you

really won't see it so I'm going to go through this next row shuttle across to the other side

and sometimes it takes a little bit of finagling to get back through your beads

okay so we're coming out on the other side here and we're going to pick up 10 more beads

okay you can see how I did that so I just hop from that row to the next row

okay and 10 more beads

yes um Rhonda that's for sure you could certainly make this into a bracelet if

you wanted to um I just added the sorry silk you would not have to do that you could just put a

clasp on the end of it and just use a button as a charm or put whatever charm you wanted on it

absolutely sewing again some more of these picked up here

0.5 6 7 8.

10 I can hear a doggie wrestling outside

the door [Laughter] and I know who it is and it's dark out there and she really shouldn't be in the

dark ago she's 14 years old you know yeah so I'm

just gonna work across here the same way

going through and if you wanted to put on both sides you certainly could you would just do

the same thing so if I came out of this side of my

um when I came out with The Strand on this side I would just do a loop here and go back through and then work myself

back over to the next row just as simple as that

so let's see I'm going to look and see how many Loops I did till the center

um so I did one two three four five six seven eight loops and then on to the

center and then I did I did Center a job go me go me

eight on each side and then we're gonna do our bigger Loop here between three

beads three three towel beads okay so there's two

yep yep three four

five six

and it's just as simple as that guys working your way down

okay next one

I'll be doing on time there uh we're doing well we

let's see let's uh it's 7 30. so you're doing well oh good good

so we'll do the loops here at least till we get to the center so I can show you how to do that

nine and ten how are we doing out there guys

let me know looking very pretty thank you Becky

if everybody's been able to keep up and understand I know this it's kind of a basic project but it has a big wow to it

you know you don't have to do something that's oh that is

um you know tremendously hard to really make an impact the beads you choose

um the style you choose makes a big difference OC I just mutilated that one

um can make a big difference in the impact of the piece

Okay so let's shuttle across again

you know

yeah there's something going on there

so I'm not my Edo's not wanting to go through so I'm

just going to take my pliers and just give it a little nudge to get it through oh there's the head of

my other oh that would stop it from coming yes yeah that's what it is there we go we'll

get that off man that'll make life a lot easier for us yeah I'm aggressive

there's no games play dear I'm aggressive yeah but when those eyes come off it's hard to see them

though so yeah it is yeah it is I'm sure there's all kinds of stuff floating around in my living room

because that's mainly where I do my loom work because it's uh my the loom work is

so relaxing to me um so I like to do it sitting in my

comfortable chair down in the living room yeah

I never can agree on that I like to do it on my uh when I'm sitting on the

couch yep foreign

six seven eight nine and ten

well my husband usually find things that get away from me like wire pieces with his feet yes me too Joan and I'm so

scared I mean I don't want him to get Mario's feet but I'd rather them get a Mario's feet than the girls

yeah because that would just feel so bad of my pup got one in there I feel bad

when Mario does too mostly laughs he can recover mostly he can recover but

I don't like to abuse him but you know if push comes to shove

he's a man he could take it so I'm just going to flip this around because I feel like I'm having some

trouble maneuvering it so keep that in mind too guys if you feel like you're not quite getting the angle you want you

can flip-flop your loom as much as you want appropriate for Halloween necklace to

lose your eye then find it unexpensive there's Vicky

[Laughter] so we're on number six now we're almost

to the center

okay it's so quiet sorry I'm just enjoying watching you oh

no problem it's no problem it's quiet when I'm here by myself so yeah I mean I'm never by

myself I have Miss Joan back there helping me but you know what I mean yes no one talking to me on while I'm

working yeah there was no more funny Vicky quotes or anything no no well I I just

feel like I don't want anyone to get bored with repeating the process of what

I'm doing you so much um but there comes a point where you just

have to do it and yeah to get to a certain area you know

okay there's six seven eight

nine ten and guys if you're looking for some gorgeous 11 O's

um Jules just got a load of them oh yes yeah and now that doesn't want to go

over there all right I'm gonna get aggressive no one just close your eyes

so look I'm cracking the speed causing problems it was and it's just if

it's making me mad it's going just get out of my face [Laughter]

so we're just stitching back through and we're just gonna shuttle that needle

right back into the next one so that was seven one two three four five six seven

so we're on our last one until we get to the middle yay yay

this is Halloween this is Halloween yes ma'am

all right and our thread is shortening up too so

hopefully have enough that we don't have to start a new one but it won't be the first time

um five

seven eight eight nine and ten

yeah I've been really into Nightmare Before Christmas this year I mean I love

it every year but it just seems like this year I've just been everything and then Hocus Pocus is

coming out on the 30th so I'm like getting crazy with that too all right now what's happening

is there another bead given you issues making me angry you're just gone don't

talk to me all right so we're going back down through here and we're just gonna start

in this one area here coming down through like we would normally and I'm

gonna just simply do and I'm really struggling for length here guys but I'm going to try to do it we're just gonna

do 15 beads every other so a black or purple a black a purple you

know four five I really love the color combo you picked

eight thank you

[Music] nope got two purple in a row because you see it's just like no no

don't oh man see if I can thread it while my beads

are still on it can I be that way do the bomb if you can

I probably will be to but

give it a try no no I am not the bomb so in case I'm

wondering you are the bomb anyways for our new loomers uh while Trish is

getting her needle on there uh when you're first threading your needle a

great way to get it on there is to squish the end with your needle nose

pliers or something the thread not the needle yes yes because I know my brain and I would

have went to you no you squish the thread and it helps sometimes to make it easier to thread

you know what I'm not doing this I'm just gonna new thread yep new thread it

because I'm gonna need to finish the other side anyway

let me grab my bonfire and this will be a good example to show

you guys how to kind of stitch a thread in okay

okay and this is what Amber was talking about earlier guys you just take your wildfire

and a chain of plier and just flatten the end of it

okay and then we're just gonna thread it on

so all right and so what I'm going to do here

I think I'm going to come in this way on that row that we just on the one that we

just did and I'm gonna run my needle through there leaving

a bit on the end so we can tie these off and then I'm going to go into the row

that I wanted to be in originally with my New Strand of wildfire here

and as you can see I'm kind of rocking things and moving things because you know it's already has a thread through

it guys so it may be a little bit of a wiggling idea when you're first doing you know

going through to make your Loops only because like I said it's thick the thread is thick inside the beads already

so now we're gonna do what we set out to do 10 minutes ago and

yeah 15 beads what's that I also find that when you do hemp for some reason

the beads seem tighter um I find it harder sometimes so

they're gonna be like no no it's so we have two four six eight nine

ten eleven twelve

thirteen Fourteen and fifteen

okay and so okay how would you add thread now not that that happens to the

rest how about I add thread now

like I just did you mean or I'm confused by that question because I just added thread

I think that's what she because she asked it before you okay okay so I'm

coming out of this top hole of this towel bead and we're going to skip the towel bead and

go into the next one into the furthest hole on that next bead okay

[Music] all right and that's going to give you that larger Loop in the center

okay so I'm going to tie this off right where we are guys only because I want to

get be able to show you how to finish and how to do the button okay I'm just going to give these

a tie off for the sake of time

okay you're about the 12 minute Mark honey okay

so I'm going to just trim that off and then I'm going to tie these off over

here and there's Loops here so I'm just going to take these two threads that I have and I'm going to tie them together

a couple times here and just make a few knots and you're not going to see it under the loops anyway okay now if this

was an edge that didn't have anything there I would definitely weave it back in and also for the sake of time so

let's just do that and now I'm going to cut these threads

and then sorry guys I was off camera again we're gonna take it off of the Loom how I do

that is I stick my two fingers like scissor motion kind of and hold on to

my project okay and I have it cupped in my hand as well underneath sorry there

we go it's cupped in my hand and I'm just holding on to that and I'm just giving the

uh Loom just a little Flex back and then I'm gonna go in and I'm going to cut my

threads that won't protect your project and your loon by

doing that it just doesn't give you that bounce back that can you know

it's not the best for the project so here's our project off of the Loom

and I'm just going to do a salvage out a salvages on it if I can speak fast 10

times fast um a salvage on it and I'm going to

um I could have done it on the loom which would have been the smart thing but we can also do it off the loom

so I just have a little bit of ribbon that I'm going to take this is your quarter inch ribbon this is the one I

tend to go to the most I'm just going to cut a couple pieces I'm going to get myself a paper towel because I do not

want to get glue on my little mat here

so I'm gonna get a paper towel again if you do it on the loom which I

will do for you guys sometime I promise um you won't have to deal with this but

all I'm going to do is take my project here and I'm going to lay my ribbon

underneath the one end like so and just lay it there I'm going to go in with

super glue you can use these 6000 you can use whatever glue you like I mean

that helps for having to peel your project off the ceiling girl you're a silly goose

yes she is and then we're just going to squeeze some of the empty um super glue

onto the no on to the project all right and I just

take my ribbon and just fold it up and around just like so

hold it together you don't want it to stick to your paper towel either so it's just a quick little

glue on there and then what I like to do once I get that hooked on there

is I will take I'm going to fold this back over itself so I'm going to cut

this Edge is sticking out

just like so and then I'm going to bring this over

and I'm only going to glue it halfway across because that way then you're going to have finished edges on both

sides so we're just going to take and put a little bit more Super Glue onto

I think I'm gonna have to grab my other bottle um on to this side

no yep I'll be right back guys

[Applause] as you can see while Trish is grabbing her other glue we do have a Facebook

community um where you can share your creations and ask questions but we also have it

off Facebook what's that uh off Facebook I was just mentioning the off Facebook

Loom Community School oh cool hopefully this one is good yes it is

and then I'm just going to fold this back over like I said guys simple as that

hold it there for a couple seconds don't get your fingers stuck because it is super glue and then that is not fine

so and that is your uh finished end

and I'll all go in then is just cut my strands just like so

and I'm gonna put ribbon crimps on this because just what I wanted to do

so I'm just going to take my ribbon crimp and I'm going to lay it over top of this ribbon here and see

you know if I want to shorten this up at all this way um so not so much of the bottom is

showing but I don't mind that I don't mind that showing so I'm just going to take a pair of flat nose pliers that

I've dipped in tool Magic because I don't want to scratch my findings

I'm just going to hold our ribbon end just like so and I'm going to put it over top of that Salvage Edge that we

just made and I'm going to give it a squeeze I'm going to squeeze it in the middle

and I'm going to squeeze it over on this side and squeeze it over on this side don't get too aggressive because if you

get too aggressive guys you're going to have indents on on your in your Ribbon Crimson it

doesn't look nice so that's the basic concept on that so

let's go on to so we're going to put a jump ring

on either side in here and I wanted to something that I can fit

the sorry silk through let me see what size I used on this one okay

see what we got so I'm going to pick out a couple of the larger ones this looks

like and this little thing comes handy dandy that's a seven millimeter

I like my little mat it helps me along

other measurements up top as well yeah I'm sorry you can't see that but it has the millimeter oh nice so those are

seven millimeter jump rings like this

and we're just going to hook one of those up

front to back as we always do and we're going to hook that through the

end of our ribbon crimp just like that

and close our jump ring and this is what's going to give us our Junction to

be able to hook in our um sorry so sorry silk thank you

all right so all I'm gonna do is just take I have some of this beautiful sorry silk that I got from Jules oh it's

gorgeous oh isn't that pretty I mean she has these packets of all different colors and I love them

so I'm gonna take the end of this and I'm gonna just push it through

the jump ring just like this I'm going to take my plier and help me along there

and I'm just gonna tie it because as you can see on this one I did kind of like

um just a knot and just left the end hanging

no it does not matter honey as she's asking does it matter what side

the teeth show on the ribbon crib um

no it doesn't matter you and I want to make sure that they're basically the same though if you

can see there okay so as I come through here I'm just gonna

knot this off twice we're keeping it very loosey-goosey here guys just kind of

keeping it simple I just like the way that looked I think it kind of added to the project

okay I like that too yeah yeah I I kind of thought I was digging it so I'm gonna

cut a little bit of this off because I don't want it quite that long

okay and then I'm gonna cut my sorry silk and I'm gonna give myself

probably at least 20 inches because we're going to want to talk be able to tie it in a bow on the back and I'm

going to cut it okay so we would do the exact same thing on the other side

this is how far we are so far okay so now what comes we have a few

more minutes here and I'm going to show you what I did as far as the button in

the middle so this is a button that came with out

of this dress it up packet the Halloween one um and I just thought it was so cool and

it went so well with this project what I did let me get my button out here

what I did was I cut the shank off the back of it

just like so let me grab my right cutter so I don't ruin my cord cutters

okay I'm just gonna cut that shank off and then I had this piece that I had gotten from vintage a long time ago it's

just a piece of metal with a hole in the back and I kind of opened that up

so I could fit my button in there and just glued it inside that piece

and then put jump yeah and I just put jump rings on it and hooked it to the necklace so what do you do if you don't

have this piece of metal right so there's a couple options first you

could just glue a jump ring onto the back of your button you don't even have to cut the shank off okay so this is a

mini button and you can see yeah I've glued a jump ring onto it and you can just hook whatever you want into it or

you can glue about a glue on belt on to the buttons that works great too

um also you could use a piece of 20 gauge wire and make the swirl with a little hook

inside oh yeah and making your own bail in other words making your own bail

um you know if you just have a piece of 20 gauge wire um I I will show you guys real quick how

to do that and then we will be having to sign off here pretty directly

okay so I'm going to get my round nose pliers out guys and this is just a piece of 20 gauge wire that I have here this

is just artistic wire thank you so much honey thank you Danielle it means a lot

coming from you dear you're a wonderful designer um

so again say you don't have this piece of metal we're going to make this little swirls that anybody could do with a

piece of 20 gauge wire so I'm just going to take my round nose pliers and I'm just going to give myself

a loop just like so simple as that and I'm just going to take my chain nose

then I'm going to grab that Loop and I'm going to use my thumb on the back here

and I'm going to roll this grab and roll grab and roll and you're just going to

work that and make sure when you're grabbing it you're grabbing it tight so you can get

a nice rotation out of it because it your your pliers will tend to slip

around a lot if you're not holding on to it the way you should okay so we're just

rolling until we find the size that we want to

be able to glue on to the back of our button okay so if you have a tiny button keep it small

if you have a bigger button and you want a little bit more grab you know

make it bigger but that's all there is to it that gives us our little Loop there

and then all I did I took my chain nose pliers

and I just give this a little Bend up like so to kind of Center it and then I bend it horizontally

okay once I do that I'm just going to trim The Wire

how about a little a little about a quarter of an inch I guess it

would be looks like it to me and then I'm going to take the round nose pliers and grab the end of that and

I'm just going to roll it back to put a loop on the top okay

all right and then all I did is I just Twisted I took my chain nose pliers and

just Twisted that and so that way then I could link this

Loop right into this like so okay so if we glued this onto the back

we could just open up this ring that we made on the top and hook it right into

the piece that we just made and you can just do that with a scrap

piece of wire so there's a few options on that guys and basically that is after the mess I

made here um that is our nightmare necklace

and I will show you this one this is the one that I finished let's go the right way Trish there we go

this is the one that we have finished oh thank you so much thank you Marianne I enjoy it it's super

fun I'm I'm usually just a fall person but this this year for some reason I guess

I'm just getting excited for Halloween I want to do a bunch of projects so this is our finished piece with our sorry

silk on the back and

that is it guys that is it so let me switch my camera back here

here if you have any questions guys let me know oh thank you Joan I appreciate that let

me change my camera the Zach says absolutely beautiful Maria fabulous so

beautiful everybody's saying thank you so much guys I really appreciate that

um I enjoy doing it I enjoyed teaching you I love it all if you have filigree bead caps you can

flatten them get outside the box yeah I mean use what

you have if you you know shop your stash you know it's always fun to buy new leads but for things like that if you

want to do an attachment and you don't have anything fancy it's nice to know you can just whip out a

piece of wire and just or a jump ring and just hook it in yeah so how much you can do that is

it guys I hope you enjoyed this I'm gonna put this onto our little neck here

super fun project for Halloween yay questions as always guys let us know and

we will certainly get back to you and help you out with them and I think that's it my friend

cool you can even make a garter for a bride you could that's a good idea yeah

you'd have to add something I'd be into that something stretchy on the end I think yeah yeah you have to think

through that yes so it would hook on well yeah at least for a while

so okay guys well I thank you so much for joining us tonight and we're so grateful

to have our beautiful Amber back with us tonight and hopefully more to come
