This was an excellent tutorial! She’s a great presenter and is very easy to watch/learn from. Thank you for sharing this great resource :)

[@EurekaCrystalBeads]

Thanks so much 💙 Glad it was helpful!

[@camillelinn1594]

Great explanation thank you!!

[@EurekaCrystalBeads]

Thanks so much for watching! ❤️ Glad we could be helpful!

[@neb7862]

Love the nails you are giving me hope to be able to keep my long nails while beading 💜 thank you

[@handmadebyaga2783]

Thank you! 💜 You can definitely keep any shape and length of nails, it's only a matter of getting used to it. Some of my friends still laugh thought that it's like beading with pincers or tweezers haha

[@EurekaCrystalBeads]

You can do it!

[@jessicaramirez1955]

Thank you for this tutorial! It helped me a lot to decide which method to use!

Wow great tutorial! Love your nails!

[@EurekaCrystalBeads]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@handmadebyaga2783]

Thanks, I love my nails, too ;-) And I suppose I'm going to have them different in every video ;-)

[@Kberlyk]

I’m excited to take this course you’ve generously offered! Please tell me how on earth you thread the beading needle? I cant find a bead needle that I can both thread AND is sharp enough to go through fabric.

[@EurekaCrystalBeads]

Hi, the designer here! For threads like Fireline and Wildfire, my trick is flattening the end with chain nose/flat nose pliers. For nylon thread like Nymo or One-G, I usually run the end through wax or my (colorless) chapstick 😅 and then flatten it between my index finger and my thumb, and basically impale the needle onto the thread that's squeezed between my fingers. Hope this helps! Maybe I'll record a short about it :)

[@sabrinadunn6304]

Where can I get the supplies to make the multicolor pendant (green, blue, purple & pink) shown in the beginning of the video? Absolutely beautiful!

[@handmadebyaga2783]

@@sabrinadunn6304 Thank you so much! 🥰 The pieces presented in the beginning are just to showcase what you can make with bead embroidery, and as far as beads go, you can get them at Eureka (TOHO 11/0 and TOHO Treasures/Miyuki Delicas, and in the middle there are Fire Polish as well), but the cabochons are handmade out of resin by my friend and they are not available at the store sadly. Also, these are my own designs and not intended for copying; Eureka has these Czech oval glass cabochons, they are also multicolor and you could go creative on them in your own way, maybe try with them 💜

[@Yocyndie]

I love the nails. I done see how people think it’s distracting. Thanks for the tutorial. Can you see lazy felts together? I want to make wearable art like skirts and tops. Is it possible to get a larger piece of board ?

[@EurekaCrystalBeads]

I guess some people just like to complain about anything lol. Yes you should be able to sew the foundational pieces together. Lacey's stiff stuff doesn't come in bigger sizes but you could also consider creating each embroidered element separately and then add it to an already constructed top. Embellishing like this might be easier than doing a whole top with backing and make it less heavy too. Good luck!

[@Yocyndie]

@@EurekaCrystalBeads I was randomly able to find 20 x 40 sheet of lazy stuff stuff. It took a lot of digging lmao. Thank you so much for the advice. I will still cut the pieces separately as you suggested.

[@EurekaCrystalBeads]

Can't wait to see what you come up with! If you are on Facebook, check out our private beader's group, it's an excellent place to get advice and show your progress pictures! You can find us here: facebook.com/groups/319085948930672 💕

Totally. I’ll join. Thanks !

[@areed5107]

Where do you get the base material?

[@EurekaCrystalBeads]

Hi Rochelle! Thanks for watching. You can get all the supplies for this project including the base material at www.eurekacrystalbeads.com. If you click on the link in the description under the video, it will take you to a page listing all the exact supplies used in this video as well as alternatives for you to choose from as well. Happy Beading!

[@areed5107]

Thank you for replying so quick.

[@gigi60learns14]

What kind of needle?

[@EurekaCrystalBeads]

Hi! Beading needles from size 10 (thickest) to 12 or 13 (finest) can be used. If you are asking about brands, we'd recommend needles from John James, Beadsmith, Tulip and Pony. Some brands offer packs of different sizes, so you can see which size you like best :)

[@maxie2451]

Her nails are distracting. I can’t watch she’s doing…the nails are in the way….

[@EurekaCrystalBeads]

Thanks for your feedback! Check out her other videos in which she has shorter nails 😍

[@glennsabatka7360]

The long black nails are very distracting.

[@handmadebyaga2783]

Thank you for the feedback, in part two and the next videos I will definitely have shorter nails haha 😄

[@sandradellano3719]

Wearing long black nails is not only distracting but inappropriate for teaching bead embroidery.

[@neb7862]

@@sandradellano3719 why?

[@lillith8679]

@@handmadebyaga2783I think your nails are beautiful! Please don’t change who you are for strangers on the internet with the attention span of a goldfish. If they don’t like it, they can find someone else to learn from. 🖤

[@SuperDenise128]

Just curious...who thinks those nails are attractive? Guess I'm just not a fake nail person. They look ugly to me. Natural, well manicured nails (even long ones) are beautiful. These look fake...and kind of trashy.

[@EurekaCrystalBeads]

Thanks for watching! I guess different people have different tastes and preferences which makes the world a more interesting place 😊

[@TheCrimsonPope]

And I, for one, think assuming aspects of someone's personality ("trashy") judging by their nails is extremely superficial. Also, someone's fashion choices don't need to be "attractive", because people also create their appearance for themselves and not others to like, but I don't suppose a superficial person would get that. You are right about one thing, though -- the nails are fake, most likely, because this length is simply not possible with natural nails, they would break, so if not all, most of these are fake. But then again, whatever is wrong with that?

[@lynnhulberg8168]

The long black pointed fingernails were very distracting. Very awkward.

[@handmadebyaga2783]

Thanks for the feedback! In my next videos they are going to be a lot shorter 💜

[@maxie2451]

I totally agree…

[@SoNewOrleans1]

I agree!

[@SuperDenise128]

I don't think I could do anything with nails like that...to each their own. Just not for me. I have long bony fingers.
