I’ve never been a big fan of acrylic beads either but they are so real looking and great quality. Awesome finished Jewelry and thank you for your HONEST review. 👍 I forgot to mention I love JJB thank you for turning me on to them

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

I am really glad to hear that! I am always happy to share all things beading, and I love how we are all drawn to different materials, and ways of using things. So glad you enjoyed! 💜

[@MoofManiac]

I’m learning so much from this...thank you! You are so creative and professional; truly an inspiration. Hopefully Jesse James will listen to this and import more glass beads, since some of their prices strike me as being too high for plastic/acrylic beads.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

I am so glad I can help! Thanks so much for watching! 💜

[@juliesoal1207]

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks so much, Sonia! It's always great to hear from you, and I appreciate you watching! 💜

[@StitchesbySharonH]

Beautiful pieces as usual!! I also wanted to say how impressed I am with the way you used the plastic beads and the tassels. You really did a fabulous job making everything look very rich and classic. I’ve seen quite a few, from other people, that either look cheap or tacky and you were really able to take them up to a higher level! Well done!! I’d love to see your design process and am also looking forward to another tutorial!! 💜

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Sharon! Thank you so much for your comment. It's definitely not easy to do with plastic and such, so it was a nice challenge to be able to work with some things like that, this time, to provide others with ideas on what they could do if they received materials like that. I'm glad I could elevate them, and turn them into classic finished pieces. I would love to try a design process video with their next box because I think they send such an eclectic mix, and it would be interesting/helpful for others to see how I take a lot of very different things and break them out into potential pieces. I'm glad you are looking forward to the future videos! More to come!! 💜💜💜

[@StitchesbySharonH]

Orchid and Opal Jewelry & Beads A design process video would be awesome! It’ll be interesting to see how you think things through!! 💜

[@JenniferHostetter]

Love the pearl and kite necklace. I am not a big fan of acrylic and plastic beads either but you did a great job mixing them so they didn’t go to waste and they look lovely!❤️❤️

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks so much, Jennifer! 💜

[@maryzylema9699]

You did a awesome job with this box. I don't blame you about the plastic beads. They are good for making children's jewelry, but you made them work really well. Thanks for sharing your designs you did a really good job. 🤗💖

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thank you, Mary!

[@3MsGrandma]

I'm also no fan of plastic or acrylic beads or wonky seed beads, but kudos to you for incorporating them into your designs and making them look great. I totally love your braided pearl necklace!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

My pleasure, Jen! Thank you so much! 💜

[@nikkiwilson7362]

I love the last necklace very much, love the color very well made. I agree on the plastic beads, I prefer glass beads but sometimes that's all I can afford at the time is plastic it's all good, but when you showed the Memory wire bracelet the purple one, my eyebrow went up "that's cute" love the pearl necklace to.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thank you so much, Nikki! I agree that if that's what a person can afford, there's no shame in that, and they can still be used to create some nice looks. I just prefer not to see them in a subscription box. I am so glad that you enjoyed the finished pieces!! 💜

[@loycehake1170]

Great job! These beads are a challenge.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks so much, Loyce! 💜

[@lisachavez1352]

Beautiful earring and necklaces!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks so much!

[@cseedbead8180]

Hi, I am new to your channel and I am so happy I found you. This video is so... beautiful and creative. I am not a necklace person but your 5 examples are amazing. I don't know why but I am attracted to them.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Awww, thank you so much! I am so happy to have you!

[@tyrroo]

Wow, I love the braided 3-strand necklace, and I agree that finishing with white beads at the ends really does pull it the three strands together nicely. Thanks for sharing, as always. You did a great job making the plastic beads looks much more classy and high-quality than they did on the original strands. (I don't care for the Jesse James style of beads, either.)

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed the finished pieces! 💜

[@alikc25]

Beautiful Jewelry and Great box.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

So glad you enjoyed, Lily! Thanks for watching! 💜

[@vickyjohnson8160]

[@robertalordagarcia9992]

I don't really like tassels, but you rock that tassel, great job on everything

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks so much, Roberta! 💜

[@neylasol5950]

You are so talented!!!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks so much, Neyla! I really appreciate that! 💜

[@MichelleJM]

Hi Gina! I loved the 3rd bracelet, even tho it's plastic, the colors are so pretty. You did a great job. Very creative! Also I love the black necklace with the chunky ab finish beads 😍💕

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks so much, Michelle! 💜 I really appreciate it!

[@dorisbarnes5527]

Gorgeous as alway, love everything. I know what you mean about plastic beads, not a big fan either. I have about 5 or so good size orders of beads coming, can't wait. I also ordered some of that blue goldtone, it looks beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing. Have a blessed day.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Doris! It sounds like you are going to have a lot of great things to play with soon! That's the best! Thanks so much for watching! 💜

[@jeaneanemiller7359]

Love the first one 👍

[@andreagibson7099]

MRS. GINA U CAN MAKE SOME BEAUTIFUL JEWELRY

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thank you so much! 💜

[@WendyMarieMedia]

Ooh! Love yer nail polish.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks so much! :)

[@srvntlilly]

Amazing. How you could make such beautiful things out of such a conglomeration of stuff you got in the box. I'm not a fan of big, plastic or acrylic beads, either. But you put everything together so well, you can't even tell they're plastic. And those huge, gaudy looking completely unmatched beads that were stranded together. You even made them look beatiful together. Don't tell him this, but you're stuff is a thousand times better than the things the actual Jesse James designer did on his video, lol! 😉

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

My lips are sealed! 😉😉 LOL - Thank you so much for your kind words. It's always a fun challenge to try to come up with creative uses for things that I might not be drawn to at first, and see how certain things can be elevated in different applications. I am so glad you enjoyed, and that I could share them with you! 💜

[@meloneebeal1060]

Hi Gina!! You did a fabulous job with all the unusual January JJB. I am also one not to work with acrylic beads. However, JJB make some beautiful acrylic beads......You did an outstanding job with all your designs. The way you described your design process sounds like a very productive manner to create your jewelry! I have to ask....Do you use a bead spinner when creating your multiple seed bead strands? It's a tool I didn't think I would need, but now that I'm mixing up my jewelry designs....I'm thinking I need one. Beading all those seed beads by hand is horrible on my arthritic hands. Thanks for sharing your completed pieces with us! Talk to soon. ☺

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Melonee! Thank you so much, and I am so glad you enjoyed the finished pieces! I actually have a bead spinner that I need to break out and use; I actually wanted to do a video on it in the future once I learn more about it, and get comfortable with it. I think it could be really helpful with multi-strands of seed beads. My carpal tunnel really starts to act up these days if I am doing to much with the little seed beads for too long, so I get what you are saying about your hands. Thanks again for watching, and for your comment! 💜

[@anastasiapaggett3848]

Beautiful I didn’t no that about there beads JJames beads . But they are nice because of the different shape plus they had the right person to give the truth.

Thanks, Mary Ann! 💜

[@anastasiapaggett3848]

Yes you finish the box. I totally agree I don’t understand or like plastic beads. Memory wire bracelet is pretty the only thing I have to say you totally drop the 🎤 on all the thing you made. You can send me the bracelet on your right hand love the video and you

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Anastasia! Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes, if that's what a person can afford to buy on their own, then sure. I just don't personally want them in the subscription boxes, but I'm glad I could help others who received them too to maybe find some additional ways to use them that make them look higher quality. 💜

[@nellyleon2540]

Como funciona la compra de caja???

[@durindaau8085]

What bead box subscription do you feel is the best value/most fun to get? Can you say? I know this is from Jessie James, but I have seen so many, I am not sure which one to subscribe to.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Best value is the Bargain Bead Box - check out my playlist for over a year's worth of unboxings. :) It's only $17.95/mo shipped to US, but they will offer international shipping. 💜 :
