Curated Bead Box Sunshine, Lollipops April 2024 unboxing and design!

[@cleatishoskins8270]

You are uniquely creative. I started making jewelry three years ago at 73. I have learned so much from each creator; however, have really been impressed with your very individualistic designs. I understand frustration with not enough time. I am retired, my husband has gone to Heaven, but still have 5 children, spouses, 17 grandchildren, 6 greats. I make jewelry now for gifts on each person's special occasions. Still play keyboard for church, facilitate a prayer group, teach a Bible Study decorate special functions and arrange flowers for church sanctuary, etc. My point is- I do not know when busy stops yet; however, loving what you do goes a long way to making it fun. With your eye for design and color, I believe you could be very successful creating bead boxes, design kits, etc.

Thank you for sharing so much with me! I feel very special! Thank you for your kind words! I wish I could just have an extra hour each day ❤❤❤. I have to just pace myself. Reading your comment also reminds me that I can’t neglect the most important thing. My family ❤ thank yiu

[@rosariolobo38]

Wow, you are one busy lady. Good for you❤🎉

[@SallyFromCa]

Beautiful! Ty for the cord link, Jody! I have only made the dragonfly necklace from Feb., but I am going to try this one, too!! I will order the cord (350m for $9.99 WOW!! I can't wait to get it!) So, I will set these beads aside til I get the cord. The beads from this box are Ah-MAZING!!! Blessings to you :-)

[@tracycrum9829]

If you buy beeswax and rub it on your cord ends, it will keep them from fraying. 😊 new to your videos, but I enjoyed it.

[@rosariolobo38]

I loved this tutorial❤

[@kimbantle8919]

Beaders are such a kind and generous group of people!

[@jodykrontz]

Yes yes yes!!❤

[@sandieross2923]

Oh yeah and I was thinking I might make a bracelet with the cord.

[@leigh9354]

Starting your own business is a great idea, even to sale the items you make on KZbin and some small kits, bead mixes etc. Start small with maybe an etsy shop or something on fb. It will take time at 1st to build but just do at your own pave and grace. We will be cheering for you. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉

[@jodykrontz]

Thank you! And yes, baby steps! ❤❤❤ thank you for being in my corner!

[@hollylowery26]

Joee from Joee's Jewelry on KZbin uses acrylic paint pens on her metal components at times. She is super sweet and would chat about the process with you. What an adorable, fun, summertime necklace! 😍

[@debbieevans5884]

Lovely lovely necklace! Thank you so much for sharing with us. Can't wait to get my box, and I agree, this is way better than last month! Thanks again. And I'm sorry people were snotty to you. You're doing us all a favor and we should be kind.😊 I appreciate you very much.

[@jodykrontz]

Thank you so much! I was so surprised and happy with the bright cheerfulness of this box! ❤❤❤. It’s ok if people are that way. I just be even kinder back and it probably makes them feel silly. 😃

[@jenniebradley]

I really really love the necklace The colors are so vibrant. Can’t wait to get my box. Thank you for sharing.

[@jodykrontz]

🎉!! This box was so much prettier than last months!

[@junehetrick5514]

I love it! I’m going to make one. Thank you for sharing.

[@jodykrontz]

Yay!!🎉 thank you!

[@kimbantle8919]

Thiose of us who have a passion for jewelry making have the same ideas as you are voicing! Go for it! I am going to teach beading classes at the local adult adult school and I believe we could all form a beading co op and as a collective group pool together and pool our passion into a job where we all work together and bead!

[@jodykrontz]

Ohhhhh it would be so awesome if we could all be working together! ❤

[@cheryl3895]

Jody this is so cool, I'm wishing I had that bead box. I've seen where a bead artist made a needle out of the end of the string with super glue. The needle can break but you just use the super glue again. You should definitely have your own channel! I personally didn't watch Wendy I saw your work and joined this channel because of you 😊 have a great day Jody, dream big and go for it!

[@SallyFromCa]

If you really want this box, you should be able to still order it. I did that for the Feb. 2024 Ponds and Lily Pads after I saw Jody's unboxing and creation. I made sure to put in the notes "I saw the Feb. "Ponds and Lily Pads" on Wendy Whitman's KZbin by Jody Krontz. I would like to start with that one, if you are still sending them! Please and thank you." Don't forget to use the discount code! You will LOVE this box! like Jody said, "I can see why the called it Sunshine and Lollypops!" The colors are beautiful.

[@susangrovogel2523]

This is a really cute spring/summer necklace! The box is so much nicer than last months box. Beading is so relaxing...I need to get back to working on jewelry. Satan has been making havoc in my life lately...getting closer to God really makes Satan angry and he can really make life's trials hard. I thank God for the faith I have as God has kept me sane 🙏 Its always relaxing to watch your videos...love that you let your videos be the real challenges that you can encounter in jewelry-making and that you share your life experiences. Thank you so much for being "you" and sharing all that you do, Jody! Blessings...

[@jodykrontz]

Awe hon, I’m so sorry he’s creating so much havoc in your life. You are in my prayers! Yes the closer you are to God, the harder he tries! You are a strong faithful woman though! With God you with keep going! ❤❤❤❤ thank you for your kind words!

[@robinsnestartistry.812]

Very pretty necklace, and your knots are fine. FYI, if you cut your strands at an angle, you'll have a sharp end that will go through the beads better and if that becomes loose you should twist in the direction of the cord.

[@jodykrontz]

Thank you! And thank you for the helpful hint! ❤❤❤ you’re awesome!

[@julesnew9441]

Fun colors, yay! ❤ You are very good at this, and I can definitely see you having a successful career with it. I would love to see you develop your own channel, but yes, you would want to be sure not to spread yourself too thin. Take your time.

[@jodykrontz]

Thank you! ❤ I actually have something in the works! Hopefully I can spill the beans soon!

[@lesliefriedley4819]

Cute little summer time necklace. It will look great on your vacation. I think you would do great starting your on business. 🙏 that you get the answer you need.

[@jodykrontz]

Thank you so much! You are so encouraging! I’ll keep praying for the guidance!

[@lesliefriedley4819]

@@jodykrontz You are very welcome. Mailed your package yesterday. Enjoy!!

[@tonabug1]

I totally love the necklace love the colors. I would love to see earrings and bracelets

[@kimbantle8919]

Cmon bead- don’t give Jody a hard time and just go through the hole!

[@jodykrontz]

😂

[@sharonrolfes8081]

Beautiful!!!

[@sandraphoenix441]

I love the earrings that you're wearing.

[@jodykrontz]

Oh thank you!! ❤ I had to go back to the video to see what I was wearing 😂

[@tishawilcutt]

Love it. Going to copy , maybe use 3mm instead of spacer beads. You have inspired me to play around with the beads and make a piece that I hope will be as attractive as this one is.

[@jodykrontz]

Yay!!!🎉. I bet it will be gorgeous!!! I would love to see it when you are done!

[@SherryDay]

So Pretty! Thanks so much!!!

[@sandieross2923]

Hi Jody, it is so beautiful I love the colors!! Thanks for sharing 🧡🩷❤️💙

[@jodykrontz]

Thank you!! This box was so bright!❤

[@lauresa10]

Very colorful and attractive

[@jodykrontz]

Thank you!!❤

[@sandieross2923]

I just received my box today (Friday the 12th) and I’m so bummed because I was looking forward to the cream colored cylinder bead and of course I didn’t get one!! I only received 2 of the big cube beads!! So I’m not going to pout to much lol because everything else is beautiful!!

[@ruthsimpson6659]

Beautiful

[@jodykrontz]

Thank you! ❤

[@sandraphoenix441]

I watch an artist who does knotting, and she uses a pair of knotting tweezers.

[@jodykrontz]

Really? Who is it so I can check her out!

[@evafreeman4752]

Jody, I think you should start your own YT videos. There are a lot of people that make serious money just posting videos. You're posting videos anyway so why not get paid for them. Your work is beautiful.

[@rosariolobo38]

👍 agree

[@dalewoodard5654]

Yes, I certainly enjoy you and your work.
