I love that your videos are quick into the point and you don’t sit there and blah blah blah like so many people who do these videos! These are great ideas using the straw and I love that there are paper and fabric pieces intermixed.

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Not a big blabber so I'm glad you like my style Vivian!

[@gobeard]

Thanks for giving Secret credit for the idea.

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I think she's terrific! Here are some other bead videos if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pInCenmEestofJI Other beads with drinking straws: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJbbZXeIhLd8jJo

[@melinasmith769]

These would be perfect for a beaded curtain in a doorway❤

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Love that idea Melina!

[@virginiamott9923]

Melina Smith my thoughts exactly!

[@NiteOwlCrafter]

So, I'm a year or so behind on the Boho bead wagon; however, this was a great tutorial and I can't wait to try it. Thank you for a great "new to me" craft!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

You're never behind on boho bead projects!

[@priyamanjri592]

So sparkly but easy to make. Love them

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Yes indeed!

[@bettyhall9777]

You can take anything and make a gem out of it, it is a joy to watch. Thank you. Hope you have a great weekend

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I love to be challenged with my scraps. It gives me a good reason for being a hoarder!

[@pampirtle6348]

Ohhhh yes! I have been looking for something I can do with my 13 year old niece this summer. She will love this.

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I think she will! Make super long straws and get tons done at once.

[@pampirtle6348]

Mark Montano - I will let you know how it goes.

[@sylviacrafts6704]

Luv the bead making videos. Thanks

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I have a few of them. I get inspired every year to make beads out of recycled or materials that are overlooked. Glad you stopped by Jacquelyn!

[@lizmangan7627]

Love this. Gorgeous!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Use up all that "stuff"!

[@ruthfleming5072]

Right on, I have to say Hi, I am addicted to Secret's Boho Beads. I luv her videos and luv to see credit shown for her talent. I'm really liking your spin on them too. I am a beginner and truly inspired with all the great tutorials spun off hers. I luv your channel too!

Very kind of you to do a shout out to Sigrid. She has been through a lot and this recognition could not have gone to a sweeter, more creative person. P.S. I have all your books, at least the older ones. Always watch your videos, too!

Beautiful Designs Mark & Secret Soto Is very talented! 😊 Thank You For Sharing Her with us!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

She really is! I love her voice, too.

[@jlpjackiep4057]

Mark! What an incredible idea! I have done paper beading for years & not once did I ever think of using a straw and gluing the paper onto it, much less using fabric! Just think about how you can coordinate your jewelry with your clothes. Boy Howdy - I am truly on fire! Thanks! Jackie

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

A straw is always a good way to start!

[@valeriestillman5713]

Fabulous!!!!!

[@karenescalera8193]

Mark Montano since I stared diy last fall I’m a garbage surfer!! My word for this year is perspective!

[@debbieomi]

@Karen Escalera ooo That's a good one! I many times find myself, after the fact, saying, oh crap I should have bought that or kept that to use as (fill in the blank). I'm going to make it my word, too! Thank you!

[@carmenroupp653]

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Hola Mar!

[@handmadewithlovebytraceyan3289]

They look fantastic Mark. I made a heap a few months ago also inspired by secret. (Just love her channel) im a sewer so had loads of the longer cotton reels empty so used those to make boho bead bag dangles so adictive i got a little carried away lol and made a bunch so much fun. Love your take on them. Isnt it great that everyones are so different i love everyones own creative take inspiring.

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Yup, it's wonderful!

[@handmadewithlovebytraceyan3289]

I see so many folks saying .... ohhh mine dont look the same as yours and my replys always the same i say thats great they are not supposed to. Your art reflects you so everyones should be different.

[@vivecaduazo2556]

Hi Mark, Secret Soto has loads of great ideas, I hope everyone checks out her channel. I love making this type of bead because it uses up the scraps I collect (hoard).

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Yes, she does!

[@FatemasArtShow]

Great work! :)

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Thanks Fatema!

[@alexiscolby9415]

Hi Mark Montano, I just want to say you never cease to amaze me...Thank you for the this wonderful upload and also you are a truly gifted and talented guy (btw I have ALL your books and I have attempted to to make about 70% of all the projects too). Im also subbed to Secret Soto, and she is very creative sometimes I feel she doesn't get the recognition she deserves, for someone with your platform and to do a shout out says so much about your character - please stay exactly the way you are because you Sir are a True Gentleman! My hat off to you (and add a courtesy). 😎😎😎

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I love Sigrid (Secret) so much. I think she's a genuine artist and I enjoy watching her journey. She has a real joy for creating and she deserves big success. Thanks for your kind comment Alexis!

[@alexiscolby9415]

+Mark Montano Wow! Thank you so much for replying, everything you say sums it all up - Amazing human beings connected through the power of Art!!! Have an Awesome Art filled day!! ☺️ 🌈⭐️

[@winnie2222]

Gratitude! Short + to the point! Awesome video. I'm trying to make dangles for an altered book I've made. oooh Should do a altered book tutorial. Sending love from Sedona AZ 😘

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Awesome idea to add to an altered book. Love it!

[@estellatorres7533]

Love it would xoxo

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Thanks Estella!

[@vigytabhargava8504]

Love the beads you showed. You make them look so very simple yet creative and easy to try for anyone. I would like to know about the fabric glue you use.

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Hey there! It's just regular white school glue. But you can seal them with a Minwax polycrylic when you're done if you want.

[@ivonneapalacios5943]

So cute 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👌

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Easy, too!

[@catyeah8592]

Luv dem beads, Mark! Where's Unruly Julie? She needs to be modeing these necklaces.....I'd love to see them finished! Adore you Mark, big hug, cat

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

She really does!

[@valeriemartinez9074]

Wow you always take it to the next level wish you could of made a necklace 💜

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Very kind of you to say Valerie. I would have made a necklace, but I wanted people to go wild with their own ideas for them.

[@shamicshalamb6354]

Cute

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Thanks!

[@DizzyBizzyBee1954]

Aloha Kakahiaka Marvelous Mark! the gold cap ends really got my attention with the metallic threads. I'd sure love to see some earrings like this..Thinking that Coffee Stir Straws would be fabulous for this to make smaller ones. Aloha my friend.

Hi Mark, With these beads if I seal them in varnish will they stand up to being put on a windchime?
