Never in my life have I found a beading tutorial where everything was so clear!!! Lets face it, beading is more complex than it looks, if you use the wrong size crimp, wrong size wire, etc. I was trying to make a barrette from another tutorial and it was a disaster. I cannot tell you how great Alisha is!!

[@lisajojo4542]

This was an excellent tutorial!! Thank you so much. As a beginner, I appreciate you explaining everything thoroughly.

[@denisevanleeuwen126]

I absolutely love your videos and I have made several of these for my nieces. Please always show us new designs. Your a great tutor and amazing bead artist. Thank you for always sharing with us. ❤

[@juliamccurdy3415]

I don’t usually comment on KZbin videos, but this tutorial was so helpful! I’ve never made a beaded barrette before, and made one using this tutorial with ease! The only tricky and finicky part was at the end finishing off with the crimps. Thank you so much for these clear and step-by step instructions!

[@LifeSaver_]

I love the barrette tutorial. I think I will try it. You do such an amazing directions, clear. You don't hide your mistakes, love that. Thank you.

[@sharjones2633]

Yes, Yes Please do more beaded barettes. I loved them. I made one with wire used for wire wrapping but I like how you did your barrettes better. Thanks for making such a good video. I understood all you said.

[@ingridakerblom7577]

There is a difference in the wires you used & in this tutorial, the one used in the tutorial - multiple thin wires braided into one - have bcs of the braiding, more "bounce" in it, so it fills out better than "normal" wire that's used in wire wraping that will lay more flat and risk getting "wonky" when used in beadweaving. I bet that's why yours looks different & if you tried it with a braided wire, it will come out better! 😊 they are often called braided steel wire or tigertail wire! Should not be to hard to find in craft store or craft sections (if I've been able to get ahold of some, - have huge troubble to find proper materials bcs of where I live- you should too!)

[@karenvitu7686]

These Barrett's are awesome. I love your videos. Please make more Barrett's. You make it easy to follow your instructions. Keep up the good work.

[@julianichols9266]

Thank you for making such a detailed video! Your instructions are clear, and your hints about using the tweezers and nail clips are very helpful. And what a beautiful barette!! I can't wait to start making them! Bravo!!!

[@joymcdonald478]

I really like these barrettes, you are an excellent instructor making your projects easy to follow. Thanks for your videos I enjoy them very much!

[@beanjean60]

I didn't think it was too long at all. I benefit from lots of repetition, so I really appreciated the thoroughness of the video. And like you said, you can just fast forward if you need to! Thanks for a GREAT tutorial!

[@brendakinney8947]

Love this bracelet. This will be something I can do with my 15 year old grand daughter who has beautiful long hair when she comes to visit. Please make more video's like this.

[@jeannebeverly1244]

What an awesome creative idea! Thank you for sharing your creativity with everyone. I would love to see more. Can't wait to try this. 👍❤

[@michelleadamchak1330]

Aleshia, you've done it again....you're simply amazing, and these barettes are gorgeous!! These will make fantastic stocking stuffers. Thank you as always, for your sheer brilliance and generosity! Also, your model has the most beautiful hair! I would love to see you make many more types of these barettes, would love to see some different styles! Your tip about the nail clippers as a stand was a stroke of genius - never would have thought to do that!

[@carolinabeth5173]

I’m a teacher and really appreciated your attention to detail and accurate explanation in teaching how to bead the barrette. It was a very enjoyable video and the length of the video was necessary in order to adequately teach the process. Good job! I will look through your other videos to see what else I can learn! Just subscribed.

[@mclaren8605]

I would love more designs,perfect for gifts because you don't have to worry about size.

[@DonnakinsJewelry]

More beaded barrettes would be greatly appreciated. I have tons of clips and would like to put them to use. Thank you for the tutorial you awesome, talented, generous gal!

[@odeiminandsage]

This is a great tutorial!!! As an experienced beader, it was nice to make something simple and elegant... and like you said - without having to make a ton of knots, Please make more like this. Although - I love all of your tutorials and always look forward to them. Keep up the amazing work. You are gifted. P.S. Great tip with using the finger nail clipper. Brilliant, actually.

[@anucheruparambil]

Hi! Aleshia , I am from India. I've been watching your tutorials for sometime now and I love all of them. I've made two barrettes and they turned out beautiful. Your video is very easy to follow. I would like to see more barrette tutorials . They are all beautiful. Thankyou for that tutorials. I must tell you, you have really beautiful hands .

[@kittykester8567]

I love this tutorial. I have done this on my own and it was pretty but this was very well done with all spaces filled and secured and the embellishment made the barrette look like an awesome piece of hair Bling and expensive. Loved it. Would be interested in all kinds of hair decorations. Have grandkids. They love everything. Thanks again!!!! Hugs, Kitty

[@sharmanmurphree-roberts4018]

Very good tutorial. They're beautiful, and I am inspired to make them for my little friends, who love sparkly things.

[@SanafCraft]

The result so beautiful. Very easy and clear to follow step by step to making this hair clip. Thank you❤

[@helentew1453]

I'm making so many of these for my girls in my family, they can't get enough lol THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH ....

[@carolineritchie9642]

These are so nice! It's nice to do beadwork that isn't just bracelets/pendants etc so I would love to see more designs. Thank you so much for sharing your work!

[@Kylogie]

Thanks. This tutorial changed everything about my bearing. Thank you so much.

[@beadifulnights]

Thank you so much for your support it really helps!!!

[@ansjeloef8770]

I love the barrettes. They are beautiful. I love seeing these videos.

[@sebracrews2284]

Thanks for sharing your videos. I like how you took the time to show and explain every step, also I love your ideas. I use barettes for my hair and want to be able make my own.

[@jeffo1110]

Very pretty! Indeed you should make some more! So many beaded hair accessories are done on felt and glued on the barrette, pretty but an extra step if you ask me. I like the idea of doing the design right on the object you are decorating! Keep up the beautiful work!

[@katherinelane299]

Yes indeed. Very good lesson. My great granddaughters will love them. Thank you.

[@tamie325]

Loved this! It was the so easy to see what you’re doing and your instructions were clear and easy to follow. I can’t wait to learn more from you! 💕

[@silkinajackson2892]

This was an awesome tutorial & I think I can do this without my hands hurting too much. You were thorough which I loved. Great job & my nieces & granddaughter will love these if mine turn out half as beautiful as yours!

[@sharonkeller7397]

I LOVE this so much! I don't care how long the videos are. YESsss please make more barrettes. I have fine long hair so this way I can make barrettes to fit my hair and match my clothes. I got so excited when I saw this video. I would love to see more. You are so creative and I love all your tutorials :) Have a lovely day...Sharon

[@florriene]

I love your work and have done a number of your collections thanks for the easy method and beautiful matching of colour and design

[@lizbethstanley4669]

I love this barrette, so easy to make, thank you for sharing!!

[@Quiltessa]

Your video was fantastic. Please make more barrette videos! I've made two barrettes since yesterday and they are so pretty. With my long hair I wear barrettes all the time and it's hard to find decent ones! Thanks again!

[@carol242]

Thank you so much Alisha! You are such an inspiration, and I learn so much from you! God Bless you for doing this for us, You are truly a Blessing!

[@sumachy]

These are great! More designs would be awesome! My granddaughters are going to look beautiful in these! Thanks for sharing!

[@BeadingBee62]

This is such a great idea! I'm in the middle of my first one for my niece, and am loving it so far. Thx so much for yet another great tutorial!!! ❤

[@jananita1024]

I absolutely love these I bought the barrettes a year ago and never used them I looked through my supplies to find them just so I can make these I've done 2 already a 3" and a 4" with 8mm pearls

[@charstafford995]

These are great. I won an auction on ebay for 50 of these for a couple of dollars and was not sure how to procede. Like I just don't know how I missed these tutorials. I made your crystal glitz bracelet and earrings. They were the only things I have ever made. You made it so easy for me. Not too bad for a 70+ person. I wish I knew how to send you a picture on facebook. I would love for you to see them. Char

[@leekirkwood1507]

Thank you for this video, perfect pace for us beginners. Yes please, more videos on these barrettes.

[@andrearossiello9969]

This is a beautiful project and your tutorials are always excellent. Please do more of these.

[@salvationmanadom4900]

Hello, I just finished making this for myself. This tutorial was awesome and I love your videos.

[@CIColon]

Love the beaded barrettes would love to see more patterns on the barrettes. Beautiful work as always Aleshia....

[@BlackOnyxCat]

Awesome video!! Being a beginner i liked your step by step instructions and the details. Your batteries are really beautiful and inspiring. Thank you so much!!!!

[@anneamaro1497]

I'm so glad you made the long version. It was really helpful!

[@rosalindacruz6364]

Very beautiful Alisha. You are so talented. I would love to see more beaded barrettes. Have you tried beading headbands? That would be very cool also. Thanks for sharing your creations!

[@beadifulnights]

I love these. Yes, please do more with them. I have long hair and I would love to see more done with these barrettes. I will definitely try making this one.

[@kathyb7636]

Excellent tutorial! Very easy to follow!!!! Please do more!

[@MegaParrotgirl]

Awesome! This is my very first beading project. I love the detail you put into the video. I have always been intimidated by beading because the books were just pictures and I could not seem to follow, but I watched the first few minutes of this video and decided I would try since you detail so well. I did it. I did not have the exact match of beads, but i've always been good at improvising with other projects when I did not have exact supplies. It worked and I love the barrette. Took my Mom shopping today to craft stores to get after Christmas bargains and came home with some new supplies. I am hooked on learning this art. I would love to see more barrettes.

[@debranoakes6609]

Hi Aleshia i loved this video i found it very easy to follow very clear. I would love to see some more ideas for hair barrettes please. They are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent. I'm going to try your hair bands now. Thanks Debra x

[@dotsfavourites7545]

[@joanmarcos1017]

[@niteline56]

Wonderful video! Please, please make more barretts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love your designs and can follow them sooooo easily! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@naomifrank5828]

This was my very first beading project. You did a great job teaching me! I had no idea how expensive beads were, though!! I would send you the picture but I can't figure out how to attach it. It turned out very nice and I will wear it a lot because I can never find the color red in store-bought barrettes.

[@deborahlane8685]

Thanks for the tutorial. I will definitely be making some of each of the different designs I've seen. I'm especially excited to make the chips and nuggets one. Can't wait for them to arrive so l can get started.

[@beadinggem]

Really wonderful tutorial! Good suggestion with the beading wire instead of say Fireline and the tip with the toe nail clipper is clever. Will share on my blog!

[@Cammks]

Love this tut and now I have something that I can make with my barrettes. Please make more tuts.

[@teresawills8662]

I really enjoyed watching your tutorial. (I just have problems being "heavy handed" ) and squeeze too hard on my crimp tubes, and they break in half. I would LOVE to see you make more with all shapes and sizes of beads. Thanks, it was fun and informative.

[@ingridakerblom7577]

It's a 5y old tutorial, but beaded hairaccessories are in now, I've noticed that the swedish princess Sofia wore a pearl RAW diadem at her sons christening I think it was in 2019! 🙂

[@swannee22]

love these and all your creative ways. Hi to your turtles. God Bless 😃

[@dorisvose8796]

I loved this tutorial. It would have been a little easier on old eyes if you had used lighter beads. It was difficult seeing where to put the wire occasionally with the bicone beads. Thank you for your thoroughness in this tutorial. It will help tremendously. I loved your using the crimp beads to finish off the barrette so professionally.

[@purrucajb1]

Oh yes they are so awesome it's perfect for all year around and holidays love the berets Aleshia pls make some more in different ways or colors you always do such a good job thank you so much for the video have a lovely day

[@padmavathichathapuram1288]

Thank you for a great tutorial! I have very thick hair, and always find it hard to find nice barrettes, for sure now I will be making one for each outfit!

[@anithaa8808]

Loved the creation ❤️. I've managed to make one with the beads I had. You should totally make more vedios on beaded barrette ❤️.

Absolutely beautiful. You are so talented and creative. Would love yo see more

[@pamelasharp951]

I love this! Please do make more of these some day!!

[@ellensegal-smith223]

Beautiful barettes. I wonder how hard it will be to use Swarovski 6mm beads, Their holes are quite small. I would love to see more like this. Your directions were great. I'm wondering if it would be easier to do if you took the barette apart and just worked on the top or if it would wiggle all over the place. Thanks I can't wait to make one.

[@chrisphillips1893]

G'Day Aleshia, They are indeed very beautiful and even though my daughter and I have short hair I will still make some. Never know when you need a gift for some one ( hopefully with long hair). Love the colours you have used and yes indeed I would love to see you make some more. Love things that "sparkle" no matter where they are worn. Thanks for the video and I look forward to seeing your next one. In Friendship from Down Under (Aust) - Chris.

[@lynneholden6216]

I love the barette's they are beautiful, Thank you!

[@karengarcia4939]

I love these. I had one but I szdly lost it. Please make more. I have not been able to find them any where. The clips or barretts I did find hadpve ugly plastic covers but don't last. They break and now I have 3 that I use only at home. Would love to make my own. Thank you.

[@cindyh2753]

Oh My Goodness!!!! I've been thinking about doing a hair comb!!!! I love your videos!!!
