A How-To: Bead Weaving Fringe onto a Hoop

[@ConnieBurge]

This video is absolutely perfect for showing a beginner step-by-step on beading a hoop! Thank you

[@birdsong63]

I am 77 and SWORE I would never do seed beading. And maybe I will end up not doing a lot, but something about the meditative process, and the beauty of movement in beaded fringe earrings, really attracts me. Thank you so much for this easy-to-follow, straight forward tutorial, along with the supplies list!

[@ooohlaa13]

i am 80 and the same ... I have always done beading and other crafts but not focus on seed beads. I love the colors and the relaxed mood the work creates. However I had no idea of how talented the beads were, they jump and pop all over my couch and my tile floor sends them bouncing. Also I have problems threading the needle so now I am doing so with a dental loop and it works just great. Cheers, and Bead On!!!

[@fireflycarrboro]

I, too, find beading to be very therapeutic. Although, I won't lie, when starting bead weaving, I found it to be very frustrating until I pushed past that 😄

[@fireflycarrboro]

@@ooohlaa13 We have so many lost beads on the floor at the shop - I can really relate to this! Happy Beading!

[@ooohlaa13]

@@fireflycarrboro Thanx a lot for sharing this because I was thinking I was losing my marbles along with the beads because sometimes I don't notice a dish of beads or an open end of something I am working on and like magic, there they go flying and literally bouncing on either my laminate or especially the tile floor in my studio. LOL I guess it just goes with the territory and not necessarily an indication of my mental state.

[@birdsong63]

@@ooohlaa13 Barbara, I didn't think to check back to see if I got any replies to my comment! Yes, those tiny beads are like fleas jumping around! 😄That's a great idea using a dental loop. I already had a needle threader with a thin, flexible wire that goes through the needle's eye. But I have found I can mostly thread the needle as she shows in her tutorial. Cheers! to you, too!

[@pugbug67]

I luv how you talked about threading the needle. I agree with ur way of doing.

[@cillhouetteasmr9743]

I’m just getting into beading. You explain each instruction so clearly, and make it look so easy!

[@lauramagnusson2375]

[@anitaharwood8320]

Thank you so much for this video! The teaching details are spot on. I have been trying to figure out how to make fringe earrings and brick stitch. I am still trying to find an easier understanding video on brick stitch but today I discovered your video for fringe and so grateful! Can't wait to try it out!

Very good! Thank you.

[@annaadamsky9227]

Thank you for this tutorial ❤

[@colleenjarman6115]

I love the tutorial. I have a question about the fringe. It looks like each line is pulled so snug that there isn't room for the 2 end ones to lay straight down. They bow out some. Is there some other way to keep them from bowing. Mine did the same thing.

[@fireflycarrboro]

Thanks for watching! I think the bowing actually has something to do with beading on the round hoop. Typically with the fringe by itself, I don’t have much of an issue. But when I put it on a hoop both ends do bow slightly. I’m honestly not sure how to prevent that.

[@barbarakennedy4186]

The bowing is because of the hoops, and the fact that the thread wraps around the hoop are closer together than the threads inside the beads. The only thing I can think of, is to use a slightly larger bead between each thread wrap on the hoop. You may need to make fewer rows of fringe, then, though.

[@ooohlaa13]

@@fireflycarrboro they don't do that as much if you use a more teardrop shaped hoop, and also I am experimenting with making the first 2 and last 2 pieces with smaller gauge beads to see if they will lay better.

[@fireflycarrboro]

@@ooohlaa13 Good to know!

[@creativeinspirations8200]

I'm new to this, but what if you use two needles and work your way in and then weave the thread to go out to sides... or tie at the middle? I saw another tutorial where they iron the string 😮.

[@DianeC1954]

Great tutorial.

[@fireflycarrboro]

Thanks for watching!

[@SantinaDurhbam]

Thank for the vidio But what thread do you use?😊

[@erincopepilbeam4914]

What is the overall length of the completed earring?

[@janiceauchter6185]

I am a beginner your video is great do you have a pattern that you can but in your tutorial. I can follow and also materials needed for this project. Thank you janice

[@ronigrim]

Great video! I’m wondering why you added 4 beads to the middle fringe instead of just 2? It looks like there were 2 extra, not 4. Also, what kind of glue is that? I seem to only be able find thick gel glue

[@fireflycarrboro]

Thanks for catching that. I believe I misspoke! So sorry. I had nine and then the middle was 11, not 13.

[@fireflycarrboro]

Also, the glue is called GS Hypocement

[@yomama8873]

Lovely🤩🤩🤩💜💜

[@terimcclaren4516]

Do you happen to have a link to the glue you use?

[@subrinaakhi7240]

It's beautifully detailed. Thanks a lot. But what kind of thread you're using?

[@lauriepolhamus1607]

What type of Hoops do you use for your earrings?

[@fireflycarrboro]

You can create your own hoops or I have premade hoops that I sell at my shop. They're called Endless Hoops.

[@genevieveramirez596]

How does one create their own hoops; and how do I get to your shop? Thank you

[@ooohlaa13]

@@genevieveramirez596 I found a bottle from essential oil that was the right size to wrap the wire around, works out pretty well ... practice with soft artistic wire to get the hang of it to make diameter that pleases you. I used 20 gauge copper wire, a bit soft but I am experimenting.

[@mcp6266]

where can I find the thread and beading needle?

[@desireeaguonia3518]

Is there anything else I can use instead of beeswax, I don't have any beeswax.

[@lucaskb6464]

What happens if you run out of string?!!???

[@marlenequigley7476]

Is there a pattern

[@amandaconnally5741]

About how many beads goes into one earrings??

[@fireflycarrboro]

Honestly, as many as you would like - it all depends on how long you want to make your fringe and how much you want to increase your fringe length by as it dips. If that makes sense.
