[@planetjanet747]

Thank you for leaving this video up. It’s one of my favorite and I need to keep going back to it.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Any time!

[@shrewsue4158]

You have the most beautiful hands! Thank you, for the wonderful videos. You just do not know how much joy you and your puppy give my sisters and myself!

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

I love her too ! Shes my tick lol

[@gingerflorey9169]

I love your style. So calming of a teacher, relaxed and nothing is wrong. Thank you for getting me back into my clay playing again. Never left my beads but clay you make looks so easy. Thank you....

[@leefrankel4191]

So glad to see how to make this style earring. The hanging hooks pull my lobes down, and these are much more comfortable and stable. As always, your designs are heavenly.

[@LovinLife-pv7op]

Those are beautiful earrings!

[@gaylevalle-blake7929]

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Thanks, your so sweet !

[@debbeechy]

I love your tutorials. I need to get some seed beads now. Would love to make my 89 year old Mom some earrings like this.

[@lynnedavis3917]

Hi.. After arriving home with a large selection of clay and tools I have been watching your tutorials all afternoon, and your puppy snoring brings a smile to my face every time he snores ... It's adorable...thank you for the beginner tutorial showing what can be made from the box selection of clay.. Amazing..🌺 Lynne

These earrings are adorable! I just subscribed to your channel, so glad I did! I have to say, I laughed SO hard when your dog snored!!! I never heard a dog, except my aunt’s Doberman Pincher, snore that loud. That was too cute and funny!!

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

🤣 shes so tiny too ! I show her at the end of my basic straight string necklace video !

[@mrscalifdreamer]

Ooooo nice! They match my bracelet! Lol

[@dagmarmiller1540]

[@jeanetteyork2582]

You make very nice and useful videos. Thank you so much for sharing...it means a great deal to me as I'm rather isolated from other clayers. I've learned a lot from your videos...🌷

[@kathyzorn9186]

Adorable 😍. Still waiting for your princess to make her debut 😉

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Me too! She runs into her little doggie house and hides it she sees the camera

[@bettybronec5546]

I love how you create beaded jewelry..you explain it so well...do you sell your homemade beads

[@TcTess]

Beautiful work, but I have to say your dog stole the show! 😂🤣😂

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Always does!

[@Karibee61]

Fucking Fab!!!! Sorry about my swearing but I am allowed as being a Londoner we do that a lot when we love something so much and I love all your videos and ideas. Brilliant Susan, thank you so much

[@gyllenhaalic66]

I'm trying these this weekend ! I love watching your videos (while I'm at work LOL) :) (PS your snoring puppy always makes me smile)

[@larahellemans9452]

i'm new to your channel, and WOW! you have such an amazing talent! i love your creations! they are just so pretty, and you make it look so easy to do. i am sure going to try and make some flower jewelry.

[@quiltingforthesoul]

Nice

[@LindaaMujerrLab]

Beautiful , E6OOO luv that glue for my crafts👏 very well done love 💕👍🏽☺️

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Thanks! I swear by E6000 its awesome

[@sharoncochran8508]

Do you use myuki delica seed beads or would something less precise be better for the glorious kind of work that you do? I have a "bead pantry" full of Swarovski, semi precious gemstones, lampwork, seed beads, findings .... Everything but what I'm dying for, polymer clay beads!!! Lol! We always want what we don't have. Hopefully I will be squishing clay very soon!😄

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

You could easily use delicas the reason I dont reccomend them is that they are more expensive and difficult for some people to get . I try and save them for more of my bead weaving projects but they're beautiful

[@artsygigi]

These are pretty and I like that you can add to the to make big earrings. Do you still use the size D thread? What size are the pearls you use for these or just any small size?

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

These are probably a 4mm pearl but any size will work and yes I love the D thread but most sizes would work well

[@Huntingbunnyrabbits]

Hi Susan, it may sound a little silly but could you make a short video on how you prepare your thread before beading?

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

The real trick is to get the kinks out of the thred and that is by stretching it simply pull on a length of thread seriously just tug on it once or twice and it will straighten . Kind of weird but thats it , just tug !

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

@@giftcreations2010 i mostly use D size nymo its the easiest to find but the thinner ones B and C work the same just may need a extra pass thru to renforce

[@tools4ewebycarolhowe496]

Great video Susan! I have tried E6000 and I find especially in the heat, it doesn't work well for me. I use gel crazy glue.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

I live in Florida and have had no issues but I let it set for 12 hrs first

[@robertablue5364]

Susan, thank you for all your wonderful Tutorials. I was going to order some of the Nymo thread, but there are different sizes. What size do you use for these earnings and what size do you use for the necklaces you make? Thanks Birdie

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

I order from amazon because they are the best price they dont list a size but it comes in a tube with different colors

[@colleengarland8977]

Love love! I have made some matching earrings for my donut necklaces.....but after seeing this! Well......

[@hildalechner2955]

Make me one

[@samanthaedwards98]

What glaze do you use? In more humid weather, all the glazes ive tried become sticky. Also polymer clay tends to be heavy, are these earrings heavier compared to acrylic beads or glass beads?

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

I have a video on my glazes I also have a comparison on my Facebook.com/turtlesoupbeads page showing the difference with the old and new pledge . I have found water based products to never get sticky and I live in humid florida. My polymer clay beads are actually so light that I need to add glass to keep them centered my beads maybe much smaller than you think

[@cindymcpherson8414]

Hi Susan I can't seem to find the video where you glaze your beads after baking them. And also how long and at what temperature do you bake the flowers the size of a quarter like the ones in this tutorial. Please direct me. Thanks a lot.

[@dibenedetto2970]

Hi Susan. I love all your videos! I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I want to make these ear rings but I cannot use polymer clay because of an illness I have. The pvc/plastic smell in it will get me sick. Is there a more natural alternative to polymer clays that I could use to make jewelry? If not, is there a particular brand of polymer clay that does not smell as strong? I have been trying to research this but am confused by all the clays. I thought I found an alternative and made jewelry with modeling clay for kids but found out it does not harden. lol

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Im sorry but im not familiar with other types of clays most of the polymers are very similiar so i really dont know how to help you

[@dibenedetto2970]

I will keep searching and see if I can find someone to help me. Your videos have me inspired to make jewelry with clay so I will see if there is another medium to use. Thanks for your reply!

[@delabud8978]

Do you think the thread and beads would hold up to a firing? I have had no success with glue for earring backs down through the years and would love to close the back piece with clay.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

I wouldn't try to bake with the thread, I think it would melt . You could try to bake a strand of thread and see if it melts

[@debbeechy]

Is the leaf bead polymer clay?

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Yes I have a tutorial on how to make them "lentil leaves " but let me warn you they are seriously simple and addictive ! Lol

[@debbeechy]

I found the tutorial and need more practice on the lentils but have some in the oven right now. I also got some seed beads so will see f I can crank out a pair of earrings soon.

[@hildalechner2955]

Like it you sale
