Magical Magatamas Beaded Earrings and Pendant Tutorial

[@beckv8526]

I love these earrings but I loved the part of the kitty hair. I found a hair of my grandpup.... inside the battery chamber of my cellphone! Every time I pull one out of my beading mat I smile. Fur babies make me happy. Thank you for sharing tutorial and kitty story.

[@Vervainandrue]

This is the most beautiful pattern you have designed so far. Mine turned out stunning. However, figuring out directionality with those pesky magatamas nearly drove me over the edge! Thanks for all your generous contributions to the beading community.

[@junierichardson7157]

nice touch to change your nail polish....very nice. I am a retired hairdresser, so I would notice that. You are so specific,,,I enjoy coming back each time to listen to you teach me. thanks Alisha so much. Junie from Nova Scotia Canada.

[@junierichardson7157]

I have NEVER watched a video all the way through except yours....Your hypnotize me...YOU SURE DO KNOW YOUR WORK...thanks for teaching me. Now I have to head to Micheals tomorrow to get some 'goodies'...thanks again.

[@susandistel7421]

I cannot wait to make these earrings! Easy to follow video.

[@HeidiChannel15]

Great earrings and pendant,love them!!

[@debrachewning1311]

Just made my first pendant last night. Will make earrings tonight. I am using a miracle bead and it has a larger hole than the pearl. Love it!

[@janahunter429]

Thanks for this pattern! It was much easier to do than I’d expected. A little trick I discovered when I made the second one...if you put your needle through what looks like a hole in the middle of the megatama for the first side, and what looks like a hole at the top for the second side, the meagatamas lay just right! Made it much easier than trying to see if I got them right by trial and error!

[@renebrinster710]

Beautiful design and you are a wonderful teacher. I have a very hard time learning from almost, if not all tutorials, except for yours. I am left handed, so I think that is one of the reasons I have a hard time. Also, some people who do tutorials have such an annoying voice or they fool around too much. You get straight to the point and have a calming voice. Than you.

[@maryzylema9699]

This set is so pretty ! As long as you remember to set the mahatma the correct way it should be pretty easy. Also with as much thread that you put through these ,they should be pretty secure. Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial with us. 😊😍💖

[@gerrimartin4942]

I've made a couple of these and they're very nice, but I have TONS of magatama beads and there are very few tutorials using them. I hope there are more coming!

[@weban5]

This is a super pattern! First, the color pallet is so perfect and I love the paisley look. Excellent project.

[@gerrimartin4942]

I routinely weave cat and dog hairs into my projects! I usually just remove them all at the completion of my piece. I have three dogs, two of which are long-haired and shed a lot. My cat is the champion shedder, though!

[@mariannehuttinger7077]

Beautiful design! You do a great job clearly explaining each step! Thank you for all of your efforts!

[@mrsbeckydaisy]

I just love your tutorials. You give such details!! I love that you share so much information like where you bought your beads, how many you paid for the amount, all the measurements and amounts to use, etc.... thank you, so sweet of you to do all of this.

[@zoya829]

This is amassing. You made beautiful set. Thank you for shearing your tutorial with your viewers.

[@jewelrybydeanna]

these are absolutely gorgeous girl... cant' wait to make a pair.

[@sandiekae53]

I love your videos. Thank for sharing your talents with us. You are a wonderful person and I appreciate that it is free.

[@cherylpatterson7911]

I forgot to add. This was the perfect design as I had some rhodochrosite beads my husband bought me for Christmas and I was looking for ideas to use them. This was perfect.

[@asimeral]

I had good success after watching you a couple of times, then following along. WONDERFUL, thank you so much for sharing!

[@valerig2]

Gorgeous! You are such a great step by step teacher! Can't wait to attempt these!

[@longwaybacktoart2798]

Beautiful 😍 and thank you for being so generous to share your design.👍

[@roslyngomez3369]

Gorgeous earrings and pendant. I need to get some super duos and then I will re-create these beauties. Thanks!

[@wildflowerpicker]

Love these earrings and your directions are the beat I've seen anywhere. Thank you and keep up the good work. Your great!!!! April.

[@barbaragreen4322]

I really enjoy watching your videos. You are very easy to understand and explain everything very clearly. Thank you for the list of supplies needed.

[@mariadelgado8863]

I love the design, it looks like a peacock, which I love. Can't wait to make it. I think I will do the pendant first.

[@francesstephenson3762]

this is a very lovely set it reminds me of a peacock in full strut with feathers widely spread.. so beautiful!

[@cherylpatterson7911]

I just bought my beads today and put this piece together. I too had trouble with keeping the mags straight. I wish I had read Diana Morrows comment before I tried this but I was so excited I just dived right in. I had trouble keeping my beading tight. You make it look so easy, do you have any hints? It is because of your videos I now bead. Thank you very much for a fabulous job. You are the BEST.

[@smithlady]

Thank you, working on my first earring now and was looking for jewery to make using magatamas

[@lupangelinan8334]

Hi Aleshia, I always have fun watch and making your jewelry pieces, thank you for sharing with us and I look forward to beading along with you. :D

[@christierosheim8977]

Love this design! The magatamas work out great in it! Thanks!

[@purewellness4us]

Great tutorial. Like the super duos. Never worked with magatamas but looks interesting the shape and direction are cool.

[@nancyrobinson666]

Wonderful set of jewerely. Easy to follow video. Thanks for Sharing

[@gypsywild8045]

Brilliant Tutoral. Thankyou. I have never done this before but I’m much more confident in trying it now

[@michelleadamchak1330]

God Bless your generous heart, Aleshia. Thank you for this beautiful set....I now have something to do with all those magatamas I've collected over the years! Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!

[@konduit1256]

It's so pretty! Looks like a peacock. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I love your designs and hope to be as good as you one day.

[@meredithvanschoick3416]

This is a fabuloius design! So creative! The colors are beautiful. I can hardly wait to make a pair of earrings. Of course this will involve a trip to my local bead store this morning. I look forward to sharing this design with my beading group when we meet next week. Thank you so much!

[@lindavergara5469]

I think the struggle with these is the magatamas and to get them to lay right but once you get the hang of it, it works up quickly and they are very pretty earrings thank you so much for this tutorial!

[@patriciagrams7407]

I found a tray very similar to the your but it is heavy plastic. It's the same design and deep sections. I found it in Hobby Lobby in the painting section for $2.99 . It is made by Masters Touch. I love watching and learning from you. Love you and God Bless.

[@peggyurban8633]

A beautiful design and wonderful instructions. Thank you!

[@laurielarson7255]

MAN I love these they look like peacock feathers. gotta go dig mine out now awesone design

[@beadinggem]

Just stunning designs! I love how you made full use of the magatama beads' shape. Will share sometime on my blog!

[@beadifulnights]

Thank you so much!!!

[@brendareeves239]

Beautiful, I will enjoy making these and hope to see more in the future.

[@serenaf63]

thank you for the tutorial- gorgeous, I tried both magatama designs going down and going up and both came out beautiful

[@Laurasmother1]

Absolutely beautiful! Question about knots. Sometimes I tie a knot and it doesn't lie where I want it to be. It's visible. Any fixes for this besides making the entire piece over again?

[@karenragucci2044]

Wow...these are stunning!

[@lauriedegroat9802]

Absolutely beautiful !!!!!

[@isabelgonzales7841]

Hi Alisha, I saw this video sometime ago, I fell in love with it, but didn't have the right beads. I have this ones now, and I posted a picture of my handy work on your facebook wall, I hope you like them! I like them!

[@MetalGrannie]

Oh, my, Aleshia . . .. these are just absolutely gorgeous! I have quite a few magatamas sitting around, too. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, dear. Your kindness and generosity are wonderful. XXXOOOOXXXX

[@librariall]

beautiful creation! Magatamas do come in different sizes.

[@lindakeevers5177]

Absolutely stunning. It reminds me of the eye of a peacock feather. Thank you so much.

[@theartfuldabbler9714]

Wow...love this design...reminds me of a Peacock feather...thanks for sharing

[@melindad.4154]

I love these. I also had a time with the Magatamas turned right. I started paying attention to the direction of your needle and that made it easier. Mine turned out so pretty and I love all of your stuff. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. I have attempted designing my own and I know how hard it is. I am a long way from you, lol.

[@lidiac2315]
