melissa, I am an elder wit my tribe, I have been beading for over 50 years and I still get on here and watch talented artist like you teach, I am not to old to learn a few new tricks... you do great job.

[@dodogiacosa2095]

I wish you be my friend!

[@JoDoDesigns2011]

I love what you said about having to charge more, because the time it takes. I learned in 2004 when I got out of prison, from a lady that I met at sweat lodge, it was years later that I figured out that she kept me from having an "idle mind" and kept me from getting in trouble. I've never been back to jail, and Yes I did turned my life around. Thank you for a refresher on this style. I still do some kind of bead work, mostly loom work. Thank you

[@MsLaBajo]

You’re far more graceful and wise than some of the other beadwork teachers on here. More authentic with your words too. New subscriber!

[@marybell5634]

Melissa you are so enjoying to watch. I am self taught beader. Old white woman that married a Menominee from WI. Peyote stitch is what I use often. I bead for my son, for his regalia. He is a grass dancer. I love doing embroidery beading. Beading is so relaxing for me. Your encourage words or words of wisdom was what I needed to hear today. Thank you kindly. This is my first time viewing you and I am full bell follower now. 😊 ❤ Kind regards and blessings. Mary from Wisconsin USA

[@themrsteddybear1044]

Miigwetch for your video! I’ve ALWAYS wanted to learn how to do beadwork, but no one in my family did it.... now almost 50 years old and “University KZbin” have created a official bead hoarder and lover! Can’t wait to try this next!

[@teribegay1085]

Melissa, Thank you so much for teaching this beading technique. I am continuously amazed at such talent out in Turtle Island and am so grateful to have you to teach us. Thank you for your expertise regarding explanation. My niece just graduated with a JD from UNM Law School and I am making her a medallion. Knowing that there are truly amazing creative teachers like you, I wanted to express my deepest gratitude. Thank you for your time. Blessings to you and your family.

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

[@tiffanygrey3]

[@benitajohnson3134]

[@nicholasdurglo4860]

Great advice on patience!! So cool of you to drop some wisdom in there in addition to the great instruction. Looking forward to binge watching your videos and getting back into beading :)

[@charlieakia1806]

[@jessiedillon9309]

[@chelseacooper12]

Thank you so much for your video Melissa, I appreciate you taking the time to share with our community. Thank you for your patience speech! It’s definitely true that we need to do that for each other, and ourselves. Thank you for sharing your light ❤

[@missamcd11]

I just discovered your channel today! Thank you for this video! I'm interested in starting peyote stiching so I'll be watching this again and again. 😂💜

[@thunderqueen4593]

Wow, so awesome to hear you say, that you had lived in Edmonton, and also shopping 🛍 at Halford Hides

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

Yes, I grew up in Edmonton 😊

[@angellehull7949]

Just came across your video, I must say as a beader myself, it is true when you say we take the time to unknot a knot, no matter how difficult the knot is, I think most beaders have the determination to make it right, great job on the tutorial...trust me...using the word knot more than once in a sentence can get redundant but it has to be said..lol

[@judithvanmetre4384]

Thank you for sharing. I am a 71 year old retired teacher. Your teaching is easy to follow and I appreciate your patience. I’ve never had the opportunity or time to learn to bead. I am excited to watch and rewatch your instructions. Tangled thread drives me up a tree like a squirrel! Your suggestions as to the number of beads to go around the cord helped as well👍🥰

[@draven3838]

I like watching bead artist make items I started beading 12 years ago ,and been beading alot for my tribe and other folks ,

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

Thank you so much for watching ❤️ It's greatly appreciated 🥰

[@benitajohnson3134]

Awesome, you’re a perfect teacher ❤️

[@jnkkbrrr6599]

The internet usually leaves me confused and frustrated with unfinished projects 😏 but i find your tutorial inspiring and helpful , so THANK YOU ..... I will definitely be sharing on Facebook down here in IOWA !

[@aaronwhyne2185]

Thank you for sharing.

[@anitab5498]

I really like you teaching this I want to try it for sure always want to lean the beadwork you do amazing job for sure.Thank You so so Much Much Respect to you..

[@luriga5171]

Love your work and instructions!

[@veronicamiller4018]

I’m a new beader and slowly finding my preference, I sure like this stitch. I’ve attempted the bead wrap on parachord but I can get my stitch tight enough! But anyway, I’ve just KZbin’d how to do all my beadwork. I enjoy the little details and dedication that goes into any sort of beadwork. I love getting lost in beading. Anyway, I think I’m going to give this a shot! I loved your detailed steps and side commentary. It’s always fun to talk and bead and get into your groove. Thanks for sharing!

[@GLWM07]

Very nicely done. Odd count Tubular Peyote stitch is always prettiest. Never thought of starting in the center of the cord. Found that pretty interesting. Keep up the beautiful work.

[@janicemcnutt4857]

Oooh thank you! When I did this style I'd actually bead the peyote stitch separately and sew it directly onto the rope, this helps me so much. We'lalin

[@MultiCaro2011]

Thank you for explaining so well! I used to make those before when I was younger around the age of 18-20 but now i am 68 and this helped me refresh my memory! 😊👍❤️

[@Meddyxo]

Thank you so much for this video, I came into this to learn how to peyote stitch and left with some much needed knowledge at the end about learning to be patient with loved ones. I needed to hear that so much at this moment in time. Kinanâskomitin ✨❤️🌾

[@kurtecstasy3225]

Thank you so much for doing this tutorial, I mastered the peyote stitch method. When I first started doing peyote stitch I learned from this tutorial and I wanted to thank you for passing on this knowledge to all of us! I also started doing peyote stitch edging on my medallions and earrings! By the way your beadwork is beautiful! 🤗

[@kollettejohnson6265]

You are awesome!! Thank you for all your time information tips funny humor good attitude!

[@KingDez808]

Had some good laughs watching this. You definitely remind me of my Katsa and the things she used to say. 😊

[@nativprincess1]

I learned this when I was really young, like 6 or 7. Both my mom and aunt bead. My aunt taught me how to do it with 2 beads every hop though? I think my mom only does one bead at a time and I didn’t have the patience for it at such a you g age. I only made a keychain and then felt accomplished and never tried it again. I wish I would have stuck with it! Now I have to learn again

[@carolyntooni5584]

First time watching and I enjoyed the way you go in depth of showing how to do your beadwork. Awesome!!!

[@makeupandmentalhealth9632]

Wonderful tutorial! I do beadwork as a small buisness and I can't wait to try this technique!! Thank you

[@ABond-ko9jp]

Thanks, for teaching me this. you're a great teacher.

[@lindadelowe5945]

[@loyolajack9218]

Ty I keep going back to this video because I am trying a difficult design for my first rope. I am starting for the third time. Hopefully it works out this time lol 👍

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

Hey thank you so much for watching my video. I hope your new project went well or is going well ❤️

[@Sweetgrassbraider]

I’m late to the show but, thank you so much. It was very easy to follow

[@bjsc1991]

I didn’t look into lanyard work and what I should get for supplies. I completely winged it. I have ready made neck lanyards and it was a 20pk not a 10. They’re also flat not a rope. Hahah 🤦🏻‍♀️ Most people I know are making earrings and I wanted to try something different! I was inspired by your beaded hoops video of the turquoise blue. I’m passed my half way point! It’s taking forever and I’m thinking of finding tools to make the length shorter for future lanyards! 😊

[@cjbird1011]

I’ve been wanting to learn how to do the Peyote Stitch, and your video has helped out a lot! Toghoyaqh! (Thank you!)

[@lisajohnson1329]

I just got some fire line thread and it's a game changer for my peyote

[@sarahrowe7287]

Hello from six nations.. I love watching your videos and.learn so much. ❤

[@alannahatley4846]

I bead peyote stitch without the rope. Makes it more flexible and more comfortable to wear. I share these teachings with other native women.

[@idblackshear]

Found you on IG. I'm so excited about this tutorial.

[@darciludington1907]

Thank you just learned from this video 🙌🏾

[@diannebedford2571]

I really appreciate the time you took to make this video. I took your advice and have been trying to master the peyote stitch using your tutorials and what I have learned bead looming to replace a peyote rope necklace that deteriorated. 🥺 Can I ask-are you tagging/stitching the beads into the chord to secure them in place from time to time or just wrapping beads around the chord? Thank you for passing on your knowledge. I love the patterns. It is so fun to experiment with the colours. ❤️

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

I only stitch through the rope in the beginning, end and anytime I have to start a new thread.

[@torixoxoxo2154]

Hey. Let me start by saying how beautiful and amazing your work is, and how thankful I am for finding your channel. I hava question tho… How do you figure out ur designs for this type of beading? Is there like a graph that you use before hand. I’m sure you just know it at this point but what advice could u give to someone just starting out? Cuz I’ve been trying to figure it out and I’m completely lost lol. Cuz I’ve been wanting to try different colour combinations and I’m not sure where to start. I’m not really able to picture how I want it to look in my mind and transfer it to beading, especially going one bead at a time. So is there something I could use, that you know of, to help me with this process? Thanks for your time and many blessings!

[@cassfox2754]

I love you!! Thank you for this video!!

[@shawnchazarreta6077]

Nice job Im learning I cant seem to keep my beads lined up lol but Im going to keep trying
