I love this technique! Just curious on how you do the silver hoop for the earring hook? I do a loop with beads then attach the hook but I like your way…seems more durable. Beautiful work by the way. ❤

[@sierrahampton2207]

Thank you! Just finished my first edged earrings under your teachings!

[@Jennifer-yl8hm]

I found it really hard to get a symmetrical edge pattern using delica’s beads, this video solved my problems.. thanks for sharing Melissa, keep em’ coming lol 😆 ♥️

[@dalewilson908]

I have this video saved, it's been awhile since I've done any beaded earrings, just wanted to refresh my memory on edging, but didn't expect this. I'm glad you made this video, Creator keeps us creating . :) May the cool winds blow in your hair and your feet walk upon a path of practicing principles. :)

Pretty pattern of edging that I was looking for the bodice of the doll dress. Thank you!

[@GLWM07]

Love the Picot Edge work. Nothing wrong with gluing your backing on your work, it helps keep it together while doing your work. :)

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

Thank you 🥰

Thank you so much! it is very clear and super useful.

Can you do a tutorial on how you put your eye pin on the earring to hang the hooks on please! I’d love to see that! Love the videos. Keep them coming!

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

Yes, I'll be doing a tutorial on that soon. ☺️👍

[@caasipalmer6069]

Thank you for this awesome video, help a lot 🥰🥰

[@rachelle7490]

Melissa could you make a video showing how to attach the eye hook to the beaded earring?

[@joannaferguson8373]

You should use Nymo Beading thread. Size d. It stays waxed and SUPER Strong.

[@alexiaspino6555]

Thank you so muchhh

[@smac3662]

Thank you for your help and video. You make so much sense using basic thread and since the bees wax is coating it, protecting and strengthening it. Of course I'm new to jewelry design; but God given sense in practicality. 😉 Anyway, I wondered if you could share wherever you found those wolves. I don't do First Nation type of jewelry; but they're beautiful. If you don't want to share that information; I understand as well. Sometimes, the supplies are some of the few things that set great jewelry sellers apart. Blessings to you and your family to be safe and well.

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

Thank you so much ❤️ I bought glass centers off Jackie C Moore on FB. She's located in Canada. Be careful though; she has a ton of centers and you could end up buying a lot of them 😉 She's great ❤️

[@lavernehicks2683]

the edging technique was awesome

[@garycamden2684]

Pro trick: you can watch movies at kaldrostream. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.

[@daxtonsamir9583]

@Gary Camden definitely, have been watching on KaldroStream for since december myself :D

[@ramonavi4300]

@Gary Camden yup, I have been using kaldrostream for years myself :)

[@sunniross7043]

You have very nice hands !

[@briibaby2397]

does this work with seed beads as well ?

[@CedarRidgeCompany]

Question... when you go through the one bead and pull it up, it looks to work with leather because its a tad stretchy. Will this work with other backing like vinyl that doesn't have any give to it?

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

It really depends on the material. It probably wouldn't have as much give with anything stiff.

[@bjsc1991]

Could I do this edging with 11/0 seed beads? 😱 I love this edging! I’ve seen brick stitch edging and I wondered how it was done but this one looks just as amazing! I’m practicing flat beaded earrings by making clip ons for my daughter. (She loves them!) So I bought a ton of 11/0. 8mm centers lol

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

I would give it a try and see if you like it. It's possible 🥰

[@carolinepicard5308]

where can we buy the wax?

[@donnasanchez5484]

How close should we cut around our pattern and when using small beads and no delicas should we go in between every one or two beads when edging?

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

I usually get close but, not too close. If you're edging this way, you want your edges tight so that see a lot of the work and not so much pellon(the stiff felt you bead on. I think if you're using smaller beads you shouldn't have to go in-between every single bead. Maybe every 2nd or 3rd. It's a lot of trial and error. I didn't learn this edging off the internet or from anywhere, I just stumbled onto it and only learned what it was after lol Thank you so much for watching. I hope I answered your questions ☺️

[@donnasanchez5484]

Thank you and yes you did. Blessings to you.

[@daynahenerson4133]

Question: What can bees wax be used for in beading?

[@astasialeblanc-naziel4631]

Where do you get the wolf design im thinking about doing beading again

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

Jackie C Moore on Facebook makes the mirror centers 💜

[@debbietsinigine4418]

Thank you for sharing and where do you buy the chained rhinestone?

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

I purchased my chain off of eBay. It's a little cheaper but, can take awhile to ship. I like to buy by the spool so, I don't have to order often.

[@vane1043]

[@TheTalksin]

Really enjoying learning from you. Ever in Edmonton at an event I would like to give you something I created with your lessons. Also, did you film this laying on your tummy? Thats dedication.

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

Awe! Thank you very much! No, I was sitting at my beading table for this. Just seems awkward because of my amateur recording skills 🤣

[@TheTalksin]

@@MelissaChilcotinChar youre doing great. You have been very helpful for me. I thought i read or heard something about your nation, but i cant remember. What nation are you from?

[@mollypeplau3564]

What did you use for the loop on top that the earring finding would attach to??

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

I think it's called an eye hook. You can find a small bag if them at your local hobby lobby in the state's or at Michael's here in Canada in the jewelry findings aisle ❤️

[@tinabambina8172]

Hi can you do a short vid on how you secure on that metal piece , not sure what it's called ? Thank you :)

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

Yes, I'll put this on my list! 😊 Thank you ❤️

[@jessica5646]

How did you get the rhinestone and earring part?

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

The rhinestones I purchased online; I think I bought it from eBay. The center I bought off a nice lady in Alberta Canada. The business is called "Painted Pony".

[@chrissummer3785]

What are you using to hold the earring hook?

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

An "Eye hook". You can usually find it at local craft stores. Where they sell jewelry supplies.

[@danamartin5859]

How do I add for a hanger for earring?

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

I stitched on an eye hook onto the back of the beaded part before I added the leather backing.

[@suelibarbosasilva6174]

Como se chama essa cera?

[@ramonarodriguez6283]

Do they have to be delica beads?

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

No, I just prefer working with delicas. Please feel free to use the beads you have on hand.

[@albrownie248]

I probably won’t get it closing with the very last bead. It’s a little confusing. I never did edging b4 that’s why I’m saying it yes I admit to it.

[@samarapaul4007]

My rhinestones are a different size ✋😭
