Thank you for posting this! My 4 year old wanted a craft to make for her first ballet teacher and we came upon this. I’ve never made anything out of beads before, other than the childhood necklace, but I followed your directions! I had no idea what a bead pin was so we used a paper clip. Our ballerina isn’t perfect but we’re so happy with her! Thank you

[@TweakswithTweek]

What a lovely comment! Thank you!

[@TheRebekkah72573]

Your ideas are the chef's kiss! You are the Ross Perot of beading! So glad I came across your videos.

[@TweakswithTweek]

Thank you, Rebekka! 😄

Thank you, beautiful dancer.

[@nancytoupin2190]

This is really sweet. My five year old granddaughter will love this. Thank you so much!

[@TweakswithTweek]

Thank you that’s wonderful! 😊

[@TweakswithTweek]

@@nancytoupin2190 Nancy, it truly makes my day when one of our viewers sends a note such as yours! The reason we began TwT was simple… to share ideas and to encourage others to create their own special projects that reflect their own preferences. I hope you enjoy making a dancer for your granddaughter. And remember… a dancer can be any color… so have FUN with those beads! Tweek :0)

[@lisabryant4088]

This is absolutely amazing! I can't wait to make one! Thank you for sharing your talent with we who are still learning! Most importantly, in all of your videos that I have seen thus far, your voice, demeanor and patience is so wonderful! Truly, you are calming!

[@TweakswithTweek]

Thank you! I very much appreciate such kind words, Lisa! And when you make your dancer, they are beautiful in different colors, too! One of my favs is my tiny dancer tribute to Misty Copeland. I love it! Have fun making yours! Tweek 😁

Well, thank you for your kind words, Amber! I loved the little dancers and they’ve set me in a creative direction with the beaded cluster balls … six new designs coming for Christmastime!! I hope you’ll enjoy the videos, cuz I sure enjoy making them! Thanks for your comment! Tweek😄

[@donnacullman4103]

It would be really neat if you could do several characters from the Nutcracker like the Rat king and the Prince!

[@TweakswithTweek]

Great idea Donna! We'll try to work them into a future episode. 😊

[@giovannacasadio9600]

So so cute 😍 😊

[@TweakswithTweek]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@patriciamartinez9498]

A tongue twister lol with that skirt

[@TweakswithTweek]

😂

[@lindakeen415]

I want to make one but not familiar with beadwork, exactly what size beads etc will I need?

[@TweakswithTweek]

Hi Linda, 27 seconds into the video are the supplies you’ll need to make the Tiny Dancer. The rest of the video guides you step by step thru the project, yet bead colors/sizes are your choice. Have fun! Tweek 😄

[@Freeasabird12]

Thank you for your wonderful videos! You are so sweet and oh so creative! Is there a wholesale place online that you get your beads?

[@TweakswithTweek]

Hi Dawn, I get beads wherever I can find them….online, in store, at rummage or antique sales. I have not purchased wholesale, yet. Thank you for your kind comment! Tweek😊

[@susankokotek5967]

This would be perfect for my niece, who's a ballerina, to put on her rear-view mirror when she gets her first car! 🚗🚗🚘🌈🌈🌈

[@vickirichards6030]

❤I love the Dancers Beautiful could you make a kit of them thank you Vivian

[@TweakswithTweek]

Hi Vivian, So glad you love the dancers! Um, I don’t do kits… but maybe someday! Thank you for the suggestion … and for your kind comment. 😁

[@mimijdogwood]

I would love to make one for my mom and dad that is big and bold and beautiful and easy to ship I’ve not seen them in 7 years due to health reasons on both ends I’ve never made in where do I start

[@TweakswithTweek]

Hi! Start by gathering what supplies you’ll need to make your beaded dancer. Then lay those around you and watch the video. You can pause, rewind, and can refer to our Beaded Cluster Ball videos as well. Be kind to yourself and be patient. Keep at it. Starting with some beading skills helps, but you can find success in making the beaded dancer. Good Luck 🍀

[@rhiannonwren6817]

Hi do u sell a pattern please my grandmother loves making things like this and is not

[@TweakswithTweek]

@@rhiannonwren6817 I’m sorry, I do not sell my patterns but do share them in our videos with hopes you will make the project into your own. Thank you for your comment 😊

[@jodowade7913]

Could you make fairies. Would love to have them to decorate my woodland / fairy world

[@TweakswithTweek]
