You are a terrific teacher. Thank you.

[@deboraharner1828]

You did a great job at explaining and showing what to do this. I now how to crochet but not with wire and even someone who doesn’t know could learn from you. What I don’t understand is how anyone can give you a thumbs down. They are obviously chicken s##t, thanks for doing a great job. It’s not easy to put yourself out here, you don’t deserver any thumbs down. Keep up the great job and ignore them. They obviously have mental issues too

[@JoJo-gd5ux]

Possibly the thumbs down from other people is because it is taking so long to make a bead - is it really worth all this effort? - for my part I have given a thumbs up

[@karie9890]

I have another thought on the thumbs down.... Maybe they are just jealous of Christina's talent! I've been a fan of her's for several years, and the only thing I haven't liked were the craft box openings. Just a little too long and sometimes boring. But to each his own, right? Christina, you are such a talented woman. Thank you for sharing your incredible self with the world! PS:: How do you make them bigger around? Use a larger hook? Hope you see this and have time to answer....

Being unemployed has brought me here and to Michael’s. I’m now even more broke but hoping to make jewelry like you someday. You’re very talented.

[@すわるな-り横田]

Your explanations are beautiful. I think I'll be able to make this.. wishful thinking.. maybe. But try I shall :-)

[@nannybannany]

To anyone who normally crochets and is confused, I think it's because she didn't use the typical crochet terms. Lets see if I can translate based on what she did. **This pattern creates one half of a bead. For a full bead, Create Two. Alternative: Create one half and use as a bead cap. Round 1: Create a loop, chain 2, slip stitch to center loop, [chain 1, slip stitch to center loop] repeat [ to ] around 5 times. -- 6 chain spaces Round 2: Ch 1, sl st to center loop. Slip stitch to first chain space of round 1. [Ch 1, sl st to next chain space.] Repeat [ to ] around. -- 6 chain spaces. ~~Begin to shape the bead~~ Round 3: Sl st to first chain space. [Ch 1, sl st to next chain space]. Repeat [ to ] around. -- 6 Chain spaces. Round 4: Cut wire leaving a tail of 10-20cm (4-8"). Shape the bead again. Pull tail through the last loop. Weave in the tail once through next chain space. Final Round: Use remaining tail to sew both halves together. I wrote that in US terms, I think it's the same in UK crochet terms except UK might abbreviate a slip stitch as "ss" instead of "sl st." Unsure though. -- I don't typically write patterns so I might be off just a little, forgive me! I'm trying to help!

[@rosaelinav8036]

Mortessa it’s understandable at least you try to explain. I crochet but not that kind of crochet. I crochet regular an with yarn 🧶 and with wires and I love it’s as much like, this type of crochet CSL design does it’s. Sometime we need to be patient! and things will come together of learning this type of :Peru crochet. Thank you you have a blessing day.✨🙏✨

[@Hooked1onJesus]

Thank you!!!

[@wandao778]

Hi I love your book 😍

[@karie9890]

Once again you've outdone yourself! Wondering, to make a larger bead, do you just use a larger hook? I think that's what I remember from when I learned regular chrochet. And, YES, I would like to see more of this from you! Thanks much!

[@daniellehaggard7401]

That's a great tutorial. Have you ever tried making crocheted bead caps like with the initial flower? Would save a little money on supplies for making cute links.

[@OldHag73]

Oh I paused you and ran looking for hooks and wire... Only have thicker wire and only found two huuuuge hooks. So I guess I will follow along another time 😊

[@mariitalulita4897]

[@elquispatricia1764]

Wow 👍

[@esperanzamunoz6838]

Felicitaciones... lo puedo hacer con alambre de plata pura ? de que calibre? gracias, cordial saludo desde Bogotà-Colombia...

[@afshanraheel1895]

Can u tell how many rounds are done for round bead?

[@afshanraheel1895]

I have tried so many times but not able to make a bead yet... not giving up. I cannot keep track of stitches.

[@benambadshahkpk9572]

Looks much attractive each bead, but the vedio is much long, thanks to share your experience with us,

[@editeszterbodai410]

you are great but i think i will skip making bead from wire as one bead takes to crochet 40 mins

[@elisabethsl]

You talk to much that is confising

[@BeatriceRingFanPage]

I like the extra explanation. Is that what you mean? “Talking too much” is an insult. Please be careful. We are all very lucky that talented artists share their skills for free. Thank you.
