I have a bead board, but didn’t realize the specific details for its use.This was so very helpful. I enjoy these videos; they have been very helpful. Thanks so much!

[@Potomacbeadco]

You're welcome Deborah and We are happy to know that this is very helpful for you.

[@hazelblair6634]

i wish i had seen this video before buying a bracelet board. Thank you . i am subbing you.

[@Potomacbeadco]

You are welcome

[@lonestargal1]

THANK YOU! I was one of those that inherited mine and didn't have a clue what to do with it. Your explanation was so clear. I don't think I'll need it often but I can always rewatch this or go to my notes! Thanks again, Allie.

[@mtglover13]

Great Video! Clear and precise details and just what I needed as a new jewlery designer :) Thank You!

[@e.castlerock8454]

Thank you for explaining how to use a bead board. I have one but didn't really know all the specifics of how to use it. Also, it's nice to actually see you. I've been watching several of your videos lately and knew you by voice only.

[@darlene50vaughn]

These Better Beader Episodes are informative & inspirational Thank You

[@Potomacbeadco]

You're welcome Angela :)

[@SsmithSmith-py2kq]

You are such a good teacher. I really appreciate your time and effort in helping us!! Thank you, Allie

[@Potomacbeadco]

It is my pleasure.

I love mine, but had to buy a new one because mine got all cracked around the edges. I bought the one that has the fitted cover. Hoping the cover will help it hold up a little longer in between projects. Love this for necklaces. I can see exactly how it will look before i start stringing. Ty! Ive watched other videos about these boards, but this one is more informative by far (just found this one😳)

[@DON-qx2ik]

Wow! What a delightful, no-nonsense, easy-to-understand explanation and directional video on the beading board. In this one video I learned EVERYTHING about my beading board and also received some important hints, tricks and advice about how to put it all into action. It was a true pleasure not being - talked down to - by someone more advanced than I in the world of beading. Far too many videos treat the viewer like some child at a slumber party. This young lady was informative, had a friendly tone, was fun to watch, was very precise and thorough in her explanations, and actually taught me A LOT about my beading board. As a Veteran who enjoys an artistic approach to gift giving (and creating pieces for myself), I've recently taken up beading and creating equipment for my use. ⚔🎖🗽🌎 This easy-to-understand explanation of my beading board will hopefully allow me to create things for my lady friends that might elicit a smile instead of shock. 😀 I truly cannot thank you enough for the Video. I might throw together a "Veteran wrist band" for myself today. Thanks again, and keep up the good work. Friendly, positive, highly informative, easy to understand, video presented by someone I'd love to sit and learn from. She was not overly technical, nor too professional. Simply a warm, intelligent young lady with an interest in further the joy of her craft with others. Creating is a good thing. (Much better than destroying - Trust me). Thank you again for presenting an extremely useful and usable video. This endless texting happens when you hand a keyboard to a groggy Veteran before his first cup of coffee. Lol. I loved the video. Watched it twice and saved it. Thanks again. Also, I just noticed there are no emoji's depicting military service, individuals, or Veterans? How sad. Ten thousand miles from home, knowing each day a bomb might destroy your vehicle sending you home missing limbs or paralized for life - or someone might snipe your head from a behind a wall - and the rest of the world can't even pick something to let you know they are thinking of you? I'm not suggesting some bloke with a gun - but something to let our people (men and women) serving our country (regardless of what country you call home), know we remember them and what they are risking and what they're giving to keep the rest of us safe. Like I said - not a great idea handing a Veteran a keyboard before his first cup of coffee. haha

Thank you! Explaining how the bead board works is truly helping me.

You're welcome Gail :)

[@PaulRivera-b6q]

What makes Pootamic beads high quality? What's the dif between Potamic beads and Hobby Lobby beads? I have another question,, but ...oh can you make necklaces and bracelets using real gems with this board?

[@Potomacbeadco]

Hello! Yes, you can use this board to make bracelets and necklaces with gems. We carry many of the same type of beads that large retail stores such as Hobby Lobby carry such as Czech glass beads and semi precious gemstones. The difference is, for the same price, you get less beads shopping at a large retail store. Their strands are typically 7 or 8 inches whereas ours are 15 to 16 inches in length. We also have an exclusive line of Potomac beads that you will not find at any retail store. If you would like more information on our exclusive beads here is the link! www.potomacbeads.com/potomac-exclusives Thank you for watching and happy beading!

[@steph-xy4lk]

I don't know why but my necklaces always end up with a different measurement as the I originally planned :(

[@Potomacbeadco]

If you can send us an email about this, stating which process you are trying to do, we can get back to you with a more detailed discussion, so you can become a better beader. 😃 [e-mail]

[@dawsie]

I gave me Dad my bead board which is the same one you were showing and he loves it as he can lay out all his beads and move them around until he finds the perfect layout that he loves 😹 yep I got Dad into beading he’s always worked with what ever hobby Mom and I have been doing rather than get his own hobby so we have always given him little projects that he can do and have fun with 😹😹 this time around it was making new Rosaries for the family and now he had so much fun he’s started on making his own wire work items at the moment he’s learning how to make a figure 8 chain necklace ☺️☺️ Thank you so much Ally, Dad loved watching and is happy that he had figured it all out correctly after watching the tutorial 😹😹😹 now he’s moved on to what you have in the way of other projects so,that he can make the items while watching 😹😹

[@Potomacbeadco]
