~ How I make my Boho Beads ~

I share how I create my Boho beads. Apologies in advance for the times I am a tad out of screen but I think I show enough for you to get the idea :) Thanks for watching and have fun creating some...they are addictive.

[@jessiejames7202]

I wish I’d had a teacher like you when I went to school, you are so patient and clever...I would have learnt sooo much. ❤️ Thank you for showing us another craft, I’m off to “make a boho bead” !!!.🙋🏻🦘🐨❤️💐🌻

[@chrissiecrosser]

Aww thank you. I am a bit of a bumbler really but so happy to hear you enjoyed it :)

[@happymailmagic]

This video is four years old & yet I still learned so much!!! I just found your Channel & I'm now Binge-Watching! LOL! I'm attempting to create a Journal for My Mom to give to her for our Family Christmas Gathering & I'm definitely going to try your method of creating Boho Beads to add as Dangles!!! (Along with several other things watching Your Videos has inspired me to try!) ~🙏💙🙏Much Graditude From The Carolinas🙏💙🙏~

[@chrissiecrosser]

Hello from Australia.. I am so happy to have you here and that you are enjoying my videos. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. How lovely that you are creating a journal for your Mum. Happy Christmas🎄

[@myfairytreasures]

Hey Christie Crosser I haven’t forger about you sister. I needed a refresher on boho beads for my art/junk journal. And I thought Chrissie Crosser hehehe. I so enjoyed watching you make your gorgeous boho beads. I can’t wait to get started and make some. So good to see you on video, I hope all is good with you.

[@chrissiecrosser]

So happy you liked the boho beads Angie. ❤

[@shirley1413]

Hi Chrissie thanks for sharing this with us. Another well demonstrated video. And you always make it fun, I can’t wait until I can get some straws, that’s the only thing I don’t have!❤

[@chrissiecrosser]

Thanks Shirley. Glad to hear you liked it. I hope you have fun making yours.

[@cynthiajacobsen7781]

So generous for showing your method for making your bo no beads.

[@chrissiecrosser]

You are welcome :)

[@marlenejones6266]

If i learn to make these nice enough im thinkin i could make Garland for my Christmas tree which is extremely small.

[@jeanniedreemer1944]

Well, I was surprised at how much I liked your boho beads. I’ve seen so many videos on them but yours are very different! Yes, having fun is so important,but they turned out excellent! I have tons of fibers to work with too. I must get more straws.. oh I do love how that blue and purple came out! Probably to fiddly for me, but we’ll see! Thank you so much for this even tho I’m seeing it years later! 🤗👏🏼👏🏼👩‍❤️‍👩🪡🧵🪡

[@susandeveaux4117]

What an interesting idea & project Chrissie !!!! Great instructions too ! Thanks for another cool idea for my old jewelry ! 🩷

Thank You -- that is my best option; will send you what my BoHo beads grow up to be. Your way helped me immensely. My only problem was hearing you; your voice is so lovely but soft. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. J

[@chrissiecrosser]

I am glad it was helpful. At the time I filmed this video I didn't have the new microphone which I now use and my later videos should be easier to hear.

[@lesliebrown7478]

I realize this video is 4 plus years old but I'm so glad I stumbled upon it. First off I love the choice of music, perfect for boho bead making. Your video has helped me a great deal. Now I'm off to view more of your tutorials, thanks a bunch, from one bumbler to another 😊

I love the music, I also love your beads.

[@chrissiecrosser]

Thank you Pamela :)

[@missmishap]

Wonderful. I use paper straws but also use a thinner plastic straw to line the paper ones OR I also use much sturdier balloon *wands*. I use 20 gauge wire for the loops xx

[@chrissiecrosser]

I have found some wire is measured by gauge and some as I showed in my video by metric so it can be a little confusing...maybe the measurements are different in different countries a bit like the weigh of paper is. Good idea to use two straws of you can find one that will fit inside the other.

[@abususy]

Great job!!! I love it!!!❤

[@dianeescoffier8652]

@@chrissiecrosser of course...they are small plastic "beads" that kids make a design, usually on a grid, and then iron the backs of them to melt them together. They are at craft stores and WalMart and are inexpensive.
