Beaded Starfish Pendant

[@chrissyf1973]

Kelly thank you. I have never made anything but loom bracelets...25 years ago. Your video was easy to follow and i made one first time watching.

[@pinklaura1961]

You are actually the first person who has explained in plain English stepping up. I absolutely love watching your videos and feel like I am ready to try this gorgeous starfish!! Thank you so much!

[@josephjones9372]

I'm very new to beading, but I've watched some very complicated videos. Your videos are fun to watch and very easy to follow. You are so sweet and have such a great personality. I love watching your videos! Great job. I'm from NC as well.

[@ncnorthbound]

Kelly, You are a genius with these seed beads, you have taught me so much, you are a great teacher, Thanks so much!

[@kldix4731]

I needed this design today. Nothing beading was going right until this. I used a small, flat, clear acrylic button inside my starfish to puff it out a little. I picked them up at Walmart ages ago. It's a perfect fit. Thanks Kelly :)

[@drnili]

Wow Kelly! The sharpness of focus on this video is amazing!! You are always very clear in your directions and the videos were fine but this is off the charts clarity! Just WOW!

[@ruthhamling1203]

Very clear instructions, love her accent, you can make a loop of seed beads for all I care, makes me laugh

[@michellegregersen9107]

I just beaded one today after two other attempts! Thank you so much.

[@lorrainebrooks6934]

Kelly, I've seen a lot of these on youtube, but yours is by far the very best, in look and tutorial. Now I think I can actually make one. Thanks so much.

[@lynneroberts856]

Hi Kelly just wanted to say thank you for your tutorials you make them so easy to follow as I'm new to seed beading I'm learning all the time I decided to try your beautiful starfish pendant and am so happy to say I've completed it first time thanks to your tutorial keep up the great work Kelly and keep bringing us beautiful jewellery

[@ellielauratotten8353]

So fun I immediately started making a second one!! Perfectly clear and easy instructions, very well filmed. Will look for more from this teacher. Thank you!

[@virgovillage3926]

Best beaded starfish tutorial..very easy to follow

[@jeanettea.farrow6713]

Outstanding camera work & good directions. Thanks.

[@lorettarice5747]

This is the second tutorial I have taken with you, Kelly! Your demonstrations are so clear and concise. I think you are the best teacher I watched so far. Well done and thank you!!!

[@dianluvitasari7865]

I Love it when you only use few types of beads and make something special out of those...Thank you Kelly

[@melbabowen4389]

i just adore these starfish pendants!!!! Youre tutorials are fantastic. You give the BEST INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!

[@madelyncruz9683]

You are a great teacher Kelly and I just love learning from your tutorials! Thank you very much for sharing what you do.

[@phyllisdintenfass1616]

This is a super, clear, complete video.

[@angelamash6729]

Great instructions!! Thank you for all you videos. Made one today, very easy to follow!! I did add a large bead in the center to keep it "puffed out".. worked great!

[@derendacragg409]

You are an amazing teacher! Thank you for your videos, hard work, and your love of beading. You give me inspiration every time I see your videos!

[@donnah4998]

Love, love, love this simple but beautiful pendant. Thanks for sharing Kelly.

[@wendygonzalez9226]

Clear and easy explanation, you are a excellent teacher. Thank you for give your knowledge to others 🙂

[@PMabq]

OMG - I can't stop making these cute little critters!

[@RainbowHands18]

You are one of the artists that inspired me to do beading. Thank you for sharing your talent and your art... ❤️❤️❤️

[@Lauradicus]

This was fun Kelly. Thanks. I used 11/0 and 15/0 (what I had on hand). I put a 4mm “Pearl” in the center before seeing the two sides together to keep it from flattening out. Works pretty well. I made the bail out of 15/0s… very fiddley but worth the effort. I’ll post a pic on the FB group - - - if we ever get any sun!

[@tammiecarbohn6796]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this design. THANK YOU.

[@marys2172]

Very nice! Perfect for the start of summer. Thank you for sharing!

[@joanmcginn7585]

A really good "take on vacation" beading project. Kelly, I think you are an awesome teacher. Thank you for your instruction for many of my beading endeavors. Joan McGinn

[@susanrauth3735]

Thank you I finished mine took a bit longer for me I have to keep stopping you, your instructions are great my problem is I had a stroke but following you is easy for me.

[@charlenefaulkner5230]

This has been so much fun! Excellent video! I've made 5 so far, 3 in 11/0 and 15/0 beads and 2 in the size beads of your tutorial. I like them so well that I ordered one of your kits plus more beads in other colors to make a few more. I placed the order Saturday morning and assumed it wasn't going to processed until after Memorial Day weekend but to my amazement I received a ship confirm later that day!!! WOW!

[@scandnc]

Love this little pendant. Thank you Kelly for such great tutorials. I have already made two... lol..

[@yvettre1963]

Thank you so much for your wonderful, clear and well made video! For a few years, Ive watched your tutorials and I'm glad to have been a student in your class. I look forward to watching and learning from your other videos. Keep up the good work!!

[@patricia67252]

Great project. Nearly through with the second part of the pendant and can't wait to see what the finished project looks like.

[@Lyn4817]

Thanks for this tutorial. Living on the Great Barrier Reef believe me when I say you don't need any padding in this pendant but ensure your keep your tension tight. I used 6lb fireline. My husband works at Reef HQ which is a GBR education centre. My starfish is very realistic. I used variegated white size 8.0s. Just love this. I can see the need to be making these for friends and family once they see mine. I will need to get size 15.0s for the earrings.

[@gerihauck8579]

I just learned a slightly different version a couple of months ago, so much fun to do! Your version looks fun too!

[@oranit9447]

I love your videos!!! Your instructions are so clear. Thanks for all of your creations.

[@betsinewbury4670]

Thanks so much Kelly! I have seen some like this on Facebook and have been interested in learning how to make them. Perfect timing on your part! I love all three color combinations as well. Very beachy :)

[@JWOriginals]

Kelly you are an amazing teacher! thanks for all you do!

[@karenpurvis793]

This is really cute!! And just in time. My husband and I go to Jekyll Island every year for our wedding anniversary. I think I'll make a set to wear while we're on the island. But instead of 8's and 11's, I'll substitute 11's and 15's to make earrings. Thanks Kelly!! I've made so many of your projects using my bead stash, I'm running out of shoe boxes to put them in. You really are a great and patient teacher! ( P.S. My family loves to go through my shoe boxes and pick something out to take home with them.)

[@BeadingBee62]

I had the same idea for earrings too. Fun!!!

[@sabrinanoble1811]

would love to see what the earrings come out looking like...

[@kittenfaeryn15]

I work out here on Jekyll! It is a very lovely place! I was thinking of making a bracelet out of these! they are just the cutest! I cant wait to try it when i get home tonight

[@leetzannaroyalla9068]

Kelly, I have to say that this is not only fun and easy but inspiring too. That bale can be used on other pendants. I am making my star fish in Christmas colors and in size 11 delicas and size 15 seed beads. It is so pretty. Thank you for sharing this with us. Merry Christmas my little one.

[@Mommy2Arik]

These are gorgeous!!

[@MystiqueRisingSun]

Been having a blast making these (and earrings) with so many different colors, but on a whim, i tried it with some 10/0 Delicas instead of the 11/0's and they came out great, too! Plus, with the 10's, you can really use almost any size needle (I have an unnaturally large supply of #10 needles, but not nearly as many #11's and #12's for some reason). I'm now going to try with the 10/0's and 15/0's next, just to see if it works and how different the sizes come out to be.

[@BeadingBee62]

I LOVE starfish, and your interpretation. So easy, yay!!!

[@viclyncrafts]

Great Job Kelly!!!! So cute!

[@pinceladasartesania5805]

Beautiful pendant. You explain very well, although my language is Spanish, I understand your explanation each step and you take. I congratulate you from Dominican Republic👍👏

[@brookspa94]

THANK YOU for sharing another one of your OUTSTANDING tutorials with us! This is so CUTE! Hugs 2U!

[@pamelaihm7924]

Love this cute design and it is so fun to make too! Thank you for all your awesome tutorials!

[@melindalacatus5722]

Hi Kelly ! A very nice tutorial, again ! I love the colors. Best wishes from Romania ! Melinda

[@nikkigreen5651]

Oh my gosh, thank you so much!! You're tutorials are literally the best on here. You go into just enough detail, but your videos aren't too long. I just finished my first star, thank you!

[@kimlyons8550]

I made mine last night using Miyuki Amethyst and Silver lined crystal. Then I tossed a bunch of silver lined ruby in the center and zipped them up, finishing with the ruby in the center. The red beads came thru just a wee bit and looks great. All ready for the US holidays.

[@terigrego6053]

Kelly that was awesome.

[@Oonagh72]

Made one for my nine year old niece for Christmas. I made it reversible. Was easy and very professional looking

[@carolynholt2038]

Great tutorial, Kelly. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise with us!

[@diannebateman2391]

[@laurajones4088]

I love this pendant!! Thank you Kelly for another fabulous tutorial!!!

[@angelbrokenwingmedicineflo6798]

Adorable Kelly !

[@BWV528andante]

Thanks Kelly, really clear explanation...

[@akb5531]

I love these! I've wanted to try a seed bead project & I think this will be the one. I am going to make earrings out of them, though. I've watched a lot of your vids & really enjoy them: you're a great teacher because your instructions are very clear & easy to follow. p.s. love you glasses!

[@nv7287]

Very pretty, somehow I ended up here and was amazed and didnt leave

[@sedakarakayaonder7864]

Thanks for the awesome explanation! Already beaded one; thinking about the next colour match! 😊

[@twistedimaginings]

I just completed my starfish! I love it, it's so cute. I used 10s and 9s to try and it's tiny, but I can't wait to make more. Thank you for a great tutorial xxx

[@brendaa1453]

Thank you, for this one and I Love your tutorials! I can see what you are doing as you do it and actually keep up 🥰

[@luzurena4347]

Love this pendant. Definitely making one for myself. Thank you Kelly for an excellent tutorial!

[@vaniarodriguez7416]

very lovely....thank you for the tutorial....great and very easy explanation....May God bless you.

[@nelidavaldez7365]

[@ninabarros327]

You are the best teacher!

[@aidaaburto1061]

[@Melkeller3628]

They are so cute. Thank you for sharing this video. Just love these.

[@debbiechristian1697]

woohoo kelly. you're on a roll. ive been wanting to learn this

[@JackieCarter1958]

Thinking I will be attempting and completing one of these tomorrow. :) Thank you for yet another great video, Kelly. :)

[@ansjeloef8770]

How clever! Just in time since summer is finally here. Has anyone ever come up with any other sea shells. Also, the montee idea is good too.

[@skikie2]

Would love to see a nice chain for this in the same colors... Very beautiful. Thank you.

[@elizabethsmith7063]

This is an excellent tutorial. Thank you!

[@TT-kp3cz]

That's lovely, and finally understandable. Thanks for sharing

[@susanmyers3831]

I love these. The only trouble I'm having is keeping up with all these wonderful designs. Even though I'm retired I just need 48 hour days instead of 24. Thanks Kelly!

[@JoyceDee]

I agree. I couldn't wait to retire so I would have more time for beading; but it seems I have less time now. Time goes by so quickly . . . . or I'm just moving more slowly ;-)

[@petraperez1945]

Very good explaining on the tutorial! Thanks for sharing!

[@jspinks1620]

Kelly thanks for another great tut! You are awesome ! Come to Babe in the fall Oakland Ca!😍😍

[@jamiekrista]

Stunning. I'm a huge fan of yours!

[@promodracerchick]

I just found your page and love your tutorials. I'm going to try and put a clear glass rock(from Dollar tree) in mine and see how it works.

[@tammyadams7965]

Thank you Kelly for posting this tutorial, I made one as soon as I saw it and I'm going to make another! : )

[@kmeadows8341]

Thank you. Great teaching video !

[@StephanieSharp2]

Love it! You combined all three of my favourite stitches into one piece, and I love this design! I can't wait to try this!

[@tokidokie1]

Just made one! So much fun! Summer Fun jewelry!🌅

[@lisaknapp336]

omg these r so cute and you make it look so easy, thanks so much Kelly!!

[@twistedimaginings]

How cute! I know what I'm doing tomorrow! TFS such a great tutorial x

[@carlabellini4610]

Great Tutorial very well explained. My Pieces were a bit wavy, but maybe I had a too tight tension. For the next I will use oneG.

[@marilynpeters9028]

Carla Bellini Check the shape of your seed beads. The more rounded seed beads allow for a softer fitting than the ones with straighter sides.

[@sharonhaughton-pearson2790]

very nice, but how about a montee in the center of the starfish if you want a dressier pendant.

[@mariusbuitendag6564]

love your videos easy to follow

[@merny928]

Love this !! Thank you for sharing the pattern.....

[@merny928]

I just finished making one.....It was so easy and fun to do !!!

[@Rmeyer1226]

I only had 4lb Fireline. I couldn't make it rigid. Cute pattern.

[@doragyamfi3813]

so beautiful

[@belyndaswansonnewell5187]

Love it!!!! Thanks Kelly😀

[@jennifercollier3153]

Really well explained, thanks.

[@madre6322]

I wonder if I can stick a small pearl bead inside to give it dimension? Hmm...I'm gonna try that. Another great Project Kelly!

[@Laura-gt4pu]

Madre63 That's a great idea! I am making one now, I think I'll try that ;)

[@marilynpeters9028]

Madre63 May I suggest to sew through the hole of the pearl to keep it lined up.

[@jjennings6161]

Sew a bead in the center of one unit to puff it out. I think that would work?

[@fraisiperles]

This is really pretty! Thank you for the tutorial.

[@maritzagarcia4097]

I do not understand English, but you are great!! Thanks i complete understand you

[@20Donna11]

Hi Kelly, thank you, I absolutely loved this pattern. Could you do a beaded seahorse or dragonfly please?

[@mooshierebarcak4953]

Kelly I agree with this girl we definitely could use a seahorse. Do you think that something you could draw up for us all I think we would love it!

[@Deblund16]

thank you for showing how to make these, they are so adorable. :-)
