Finally someone who is fast and has taste and sense of aesthetics! Without complicating and wasting time with unnecessary talking - you talk and work. Thx!

Thank you so much. I'm with you are the talking. More crafting less talking.

I made LARGE pokey tools, 12 inches in length using Home Depot threaded rods. It allowed me to screw on a crystal drawer knob on the top. I'm using them for my large outdoor planters. I've coordinated the colors with the plants. They sparkle in the sun! So beautiful!!

[@sandyramsey9646]

Maybe I shouldn’t ask but you are the first I’ve watched that really teaches well. I started my crafting business with making wreaths…nobody wants to buy them for what they’re worth. Plus I am handicapped so I always had to get help taking all of my wreaths and displays, etc. you get the picture. I am so intrigued by the beading world. Plus it seems small enough that I won’t have to rent a U-Haul for. Do you have any tips for a newbie who wants to sell beadable things? How much to charge for each kind of thing? What craft shows to look for, etc. I so want to learn from you! Please consider me if you’re looking for a student.

[@cre8tivequeenbee]

I really enjoyed your tutorial, as usual. Unfortunately I'm in Barbados and most countries don't ship here or the shipping ends up being 100% more than the cost of the items. I'm unwell and your videos really helps distract me from my reality. Keep the good work up. Blessings on you.

[@creativelyjean]

Thank you so much. You are so sweet. I do plan on doing some gift cards to viewer's who live in other countries also. I am trying to figure out what is the best type of gift card for other countries. I think Amazon does not deliver to some countries not positive but I am checking it out. I hope you feel better soon.

Those are plates I get from target in the kids dish ware section. I don’t remember the price off hand, but they are very inexpensive.

This is a helpful video I enjoyed watching. Would a metal skewer used for grilling work as well?

I have never tried them, but they should work. The only thing about the grilling ones is they are not very sharp.

What are these used for ? Are they pens

[@Simple_retired_life]

Hi Jean! Love your tutorial!! Can you tell me what are the mm’s size hole that you are using? I want to order beads online but I don’t know what size to choose. I don’t want to buy the wrong size. Thank you so much!! Adorable pokey tools!! 💕. I did but the cocktail sticks from Temu and the Hobby Lobby set , but haven’t ordered the beads yet. TFS!! Hugs. Gloria 🥰

[@creativelyjean]

That's a hard question to answer but here goes. I have used beads as small as a 4mm bead if the hole is big enough but then again I have some 12mm beads that do not work because the hole is not big enough. You do not need as big of a hole like you do for the beaded pens. you are pretty safe getting 8mm to a 12mm bead. I linked a couple of packs of beads from hobby lobby for you, I find that most of there mixed packs will wok. Also Walmart has some mixed bead packs that will work. I hope that is helpful, If you have anymore question please ask. You can also use my email to ask question if you would like. www.hobbylobby.com/Beads-Jewelry/Beads/Glass-Beads/Confetti-Glass-Bead-Mix/p/99320 www.hobbylobby.com/Beads-Jewelry/Beads/Acrylic-Plastic-Beads/Bright-Old-World-Bead-Mix/p/81059260

[@Simple_retired_life]

@@creativelyjean thank you! I did see you had a mix of different sizes. I did happen to go through my bead stash of old busted bracelets, that worked for me. But I will keep a look out for mix beads. Thank you again!! Happy Crafting!! 🥰💕

[@creativelyjean]

@@Simple_retired_life You are welcome. Have fun.

[@mardellnorris-beaty8908]

These are really pretty. I would like to know where you buy your beads. It is hard to find some with the larger whole. Is there a certain millimeter for the whole?

[@creativelyjean]

A lot of my beads I get from hobby lobby ( I will put a few links below ). Most of the beads on a string at Michaels and Hobby lobby will work The hole does not have to be very big for pokey tools. I have used beads as small as 4mm. www.hobbylobby.com/Beads-Jewelry/Beads/Glass-Beads/Confetti-Glass-Bead-Mix/p/99320 www.hobbylobby.com/Beads-Jewelry/Beads/Acrylic-Plastic-Beads/Bright-Old-World-Bead-Mix/p/81059260

Thank you for the tutorial you did a beautiful job .. Yes question please the plastic spacer can you buy them? Or do they only come in the two pack ? Looking forward to see how you make a case going to see if I can find it .. Blessing to a great day .. I just rang your 🛎️ bell looking forward to watching and learning from you ..

I have not seen the spacer separate anywhere. Thank you so much for watching.

[@margaretschuster1005]

I'm NEW to dangles and and glue stoppers. I'm trying to figure out, what size of the needles fit what bead size? Thank you for your reply. BTW - I'm also a new follower :)

[@creativelyjean]

Welcome to my channel. All the beads that I used will fit any of the pokey tools I have listed in the description. Most 12mm and up beads will work, smaller beads with a bigger hole work. If you buy beads by the hole size you need about a 4mm hole. I like the mixed packs from hobby lobby. I have a lot of beads on hand so i was able to find some in my stash.

[@allsortsoflotsofthings]

Sorry if this is a daft question, but this newbie would like to know what size beads you generally buy for these projects? 8mm? 10mm? And how will I k now if the hole will be big enough (when I buy them online). Thank you for the lovely tutorial :-)

[@creativelyjean]

The bead size is not as important as the hole size. Some 10mm beads can have a very small hole the same with a 6mm bead can have a large hole. That being said it is hard to order by hole size because most companies tell you the bead size the the hole size. You need about a 4mm hole. I am going to give you a link to a pack from hobby lobby most of the mixed packs have a lot of beads you can use. In my experience most 10mm and up will work. I hope this helps.

May I ask how you use them on cigars? Is it to remove the wrapper?

[@soulangel835a]

@creativelyjean it's for when the cigars are at the end like 2 inches so you don't burn your fingers lol that's s great idea to use to remove the wrapper as well

[@creativelyjean]

I charge $8-$10 for mine, depending on the type beads I put on.

[@nickysdiner]

What size beads did you use?

[@creativelyjean]

I use lot of different sizes beads. All beads have different size holes but usually 12mm and above works most of the time. Other wise you need beads with at least 3mm hole.

Hi Jean, where do you get your beads from?

[@creativelyjean]

Most of the beads came from Hobby lobby, some of them they do not sell anymore. I like the multi pack beads from Bead design company.

[@shirleybarron9995]

Do those beads ever go on sale at hobby lobby in the box

[@creativelyjean]

I get the bead design mixes and they go on sale a couple of times a month. The ones I showed in the round contains are never and they will not put them on sale, they told me they are as cheap as they will go.

[@38rockermom]

@@creativelyjean The bead mixes in the round containers from HL used to be in the boxes and you used to be able to buy them at 50% off. Same exact beads. HL upcharged the item so now you will 4ever pay full price. They do have a few box mixes that have a good variety of colors to choose from and I always buy them at 50% off.

What is a pokey tool ?

Pokey tools were originally used for getting paper bits out of your cutting dies, but crafters find many different ways to use it.

what size bead hole fits these

depending on which pokey tool you use the hole size needs to be around 3mm. The bead size can be any size, I have large beads that have to small of a hole, The multi packs at hobby lobby usually work well.
