Armchair Bullies! Never you mind about those haters! Haters gonna hate - Potaters gonna Potate! I love your videos and grateful you are sharing your mad skills with us! ;)

[@olganakatomugerwa9394]

So do I and she is good. I have liked the malas

[@shirleywest7790]

Aleshia, I have been learning how to bead by watching your videos for years. You have wonderful inventiveness with color and pattern combinations. Don't let anybody bring you down!!! I know English language teachers who mispronounce and misuse words all the time. We all do it! I have to say the person who corrected your usage with taunts (intended) was showing small mindedness and probably insecurity. Bead on!!!

[@scheherazadewjackson8131]

Beautiful necklace. I appreciate your projects that you share with us. We have ignorant people in this world, so done take their statements to heart. Continue to share with those who appreciate what you do. 💕

[@jennifermelvin8038]

Shame on people for being mean!! I’m sure they aren’t perfect either!! I LOVE the orange one-it’s my favorite color!!! Thank you for taking time out of your day to teach us how to make these necklaces!! Hugs!!

[@samareddy8749]

One small addition to the info you said, malas are the rosary/prayer beads equivalent in South Asia and South East Asia. While gemstones are used to make malas, they are not the popular choice. It is mostly made using sandalwood, wood from the tulsi plant, rudraksha seeds, lotus seeds etc. That being said great choice of colour and it looks nice!

[@angelinacroftdesigns]

Awesome video! Thank you. I also don't understand the thumbs down and hateful comments. If you don't like it don't watch it. Some people have such big egos that they believe it would be better if you were like them. Do your own thing. You are amazing for just posting all these videos for us for free xxx

[@lynneholden6216]

You are awesome I have had the same problem with people, don't listen to anyone if they can't be nice, I love your video's, Thanks!

[@thepinktomboy7189]

Love your videos! You seem so genuinely happy and the vibes are great!!

[@monike9782]

It works!!! I have all the tools that left me disappointed. This works! Thank you.

[@claratarver3138]

I enjoy ALL your videos. Thank you for sharing them FREE!! I don't comment much but I HATE bullies.

[@olganakatomugerwa9394]

Sorry about mean people. Ignore them... it works 😀

[@bethmurray5739]

Not sure what is going on with the not so nice comments, but just wanted you to know I enjoy watching all your videos. I have learned a lot from you and have done several of your designs for myself. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos for us.

[@manonlaquerre8637]

Merci de tout cœur!! J’avais essayé plusieurs façons de terminer un mala avec un pendentif…. Et enfin votre vidéo apporte la solution!! Merciiii🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@kathymcgregor6763]

Thank you so much for your video! I was using a tool to get my knots close to the beads, but your technique of passing beads back through was so much easier! I used 8mm beads and it was no problem, so much faster! Appreciate you sharing your expertise!

[@jackiemalik8758]

Beautiful! All 3 are amazing! TYFS😊

[@jmspegel]

Impressed with the hand knotting....

[@Stormyone53]

I'll definitely be trying those knots, thanks...

[@Doxymeister]

How crazy that you uploaded this, when I was learning hand-knotting getting ready to make something with some pearls and thinking "this could work with beads too". Boom! Here it is with regular beads, and a beautiful pattern as well. When I first saw those end-knots, I thought those were coffee-beans! What a cool way to finish off the cords. Thank you so much, really enjoyed this! (and you're a mind-reader!)

[@jariech87]

I love your channel. You have always given easy to follow directions. Your creations are beautiful. Thank you.

[@lorrainemacgilchrist4269]

This Malaysian bead is gorgeous, I love both colours but the one with the beige, brown tone are my favourite. I've got a list of to do projects to do but I don't know why another of your work is at the top of my list lol. You are amazing with the ideas you come up with and a teacher. You don't go too fast and I can fully understand your instructions. Love from lorraine in Scotland 😍💋🇫🇮

[@beadifulnights]

Thank you! 😊

[@marygleco2790]

Gorgeous beaded mala! You have blessed hands, very beautiful work! It did look easier as you went along. But the ending, leaf knots were the icing on the cake! Thanks for sharing!💜

[@EWilber34]

Found you through your pinterest page. Great videos. Saved a lot of your tutorials.

[@jamiecee4960]

[@annadion4134]

Very pretty.

[@lorenburns2756]

Great tutorial. Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge. I love the way you finish it off, I'll have to give it a go!

[@4pattiw]

Aleisha you’re an excellent teacher!! I love this tutorial and will try your technique ~ Thank You 😊

[@sharonrowland1196]

YOU'RE VERY WELCOME ALEISHIA 👍

[@veronicaoliveira7327]

You're right things like that happen. Customer Service can make a big difference when there is imperfections or discrepancies. It's so funny as soon as you show this will I could tell the issues at the coding because I used to work in a company that made monofilament and multi filament wires for cabling..lol

[@carolynscreativedesigns5712]

Yes I would like to see more you inspired me to learn this

[@hinamori102]

Absolutely gorgeous 😍🥰🤗

[@debrayankovich9892]

Love love love

[@kayperry7999]

I love it. Yes please do some more tutorials on this, I can't spell that word, lol. People are mean I think because they are jealous, you are so talented and creative, keep on being you. Stay beautiful.

[@beckyb4074]

Hello Aleshia, I'd never heard of a Mala necklace before you mentioned you wanted to make one. Now, you've got me curious. Thanks for sharing, especially while you have so much else going on. Take care young lady and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

[@yomama8873]

Beautiful thank you 🤩🤩🤩💖💖

[@terrynichols5021]

I really liked this tutorial. I have been learning from you for a long time and can't wait to try this one. I have a nice tigers eye pendant and beads, I think I will try those. Thank you!

[@trrealityafterchemotv8295]

Tks for sharing

[@louiseprettyjohns3839]

That was a terrific tutorial Aleisha. Excited to see more mala projects from you. Ignore the nasty comments some people simply have no manners :) x

[@sharonrowland1196]

HI ALEISHA HOPE YOU'RE HAVING A BETTER DAY THAN I AM. GORGEOUS NECKLACES ALEISHIA 👍💯% GORGEOUS PERIOD 💯%.

[@beadifulnights]

Thank you!!

[@Bethaniji]

Hi Aleshia, thank you for these wonderful directions and designs! I've been looking for the "haul video" you mentioned that will include the $25 off coupon for the Knotty Do-It-All board. No success on finding that particular vid. Can you put up a link?

[@pam2416]

You mentioned a coupon code for the knotty board. Can you share it please? By the way, I totally enjoy your tutorials!!

[@ladyjustice7]

You are awesome! I have enjoyed your videos for years I'm still learning so much. Those rude buttholes are just jealous.

[@darshipurewal3498]

Hello beautiful mala I'm East Indian I use a mala while meditation

[@sharonrowland1196]

HEY YOU'RE VERY WELCOME ALEISHIA LOVE YOUR GORGEOUS NECKLACES VIDEO ALEISHIA. I'M IN ALOT OF PAIN TONIGHT I'VE A GIGANTIC HEMATOMA ON MY LEFT HIP LEFT FOREARM AND MY LEFT THUMB BALL OF MY LEFT HAND. I FELL DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY AND LIKED TO'VE BROKE MY LEFT HIP. BUT I'M OK JUST BRUISED UP REAL BAD.

[@nicole_silvers]

Did I hear you say 54 is half of 100?!! Did I hear that right?! LOL

[@beadifulnights]

Gosh darn it, lol! I didn't notice that when I edited the video. You have to use 108 beads in a mala and to make it easier split the beads in half use 54 on each side. I spent 3 days filming and editing my last three videos so I was extremely tried by this third one.

[@nicole_silvers]

@@beadifulnights LOL it's ok, I knew what you meant! I just thought it was funny! No one is perfect! I love your channel and I have learned TONS from you! So thank you for sharing all of your knowledge and creating great content! Much love!

[@ebsmites7544]

Hey there is a lot of noise in the background again

[@ebsmites7544]

50 is actually half of 100. Not 54 haha 😂

[@SunlandSprings]

Beautiful beads and beautiful necklace. One suggestion - although I love long nails, your nails are very distracting and it is hard to following your movements.
