Brilliant tutorial! I've never got my head round this before but watching you and your useful suggestion about setting out your stall with numbered bead piles was like a light bulb moment. I will try this very soon but the fact that I totally understood what you were doing leaves me with no fear of failure! Thank you so much and a big thumbs up from the UK.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Beaded beads are some of my most favorite items to make. I tried this pattern several years ago, and let me tell you, there was a lot of blood, sweat, and tears shed while trying to figure out the directions. Your demo would have been very helpful to me back then Lol. Thanks, Gina, for your very clear tutorial for this project.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Aww, Sue! You are very welcome. I hope you will try it again! 😁 💜

Thank you!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

You are so welcome! 😁

[@SabaBahar-ef2xu]

Hi I find the videos easy to follow . I am in UK . I have tried beaded beads with different sized beads . I get stuck in the last round where one bead is added . Can you explain about the direction to step up to join the 5 th bead to the 4 boards in the top level. I am able to connect in a different way but it gets complicated . Also in the second round the beads are added by holding the base in a different position going anti clockwise . I do it the way the first round is done . Thanks

[@mindy7501]

Thank you. For the larger beads can you put crystals in it to hide the holes? That would look beautiful too. Can you do a video on that?

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

You certainly could! There are a lot of things that can be done, jumping off from this technique. Thanks for asking - I will consider that for a future idea! :)

[@yomama8873]

Thank you great tips very clear tutorial 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thank you! 💜 Glad it was helpful! 😁

[@user-wm7qs9uz9u]

Hello! This video is great, but I still having a lot of difficulty getting the second layer done properly. It's a little unclear with verbal directions. Do you have another video of this maybe with different colours for the different levels? Thank you so much

[@diannewaara6135]

What if I have a very large bead to make a keychain

[@313_z_h]

شكرا 🌹❤

[@heryani7969]

How to make a bigger ball with small beads🙏🏻

[@maddyfogarty6175]

How do you used these

[@karenc6645]

Great tutorial- suggestion ..it would have been visually clearer if you used different color beads in your tutorial.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks for the suggestion, Karen! I'll keep that in mind for future videos :)

[@lisajones4655]

What size beaded bead did you make in the video?

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Lisa! I think it probably came out to be around 12mm with the size beads used. 💜😁

[@marianaciorobea6964]

❤❤frumos

[@JustGG1956]

I wonder how big of a bead you can make. Start off with the size you just made. Make 30 of the exact size you just made. Use those 30 beaded beads to make an even larger beaded bead. And make 30 of those! Continue on, more and more!

[@vivienbalan7069]

Feel like the instruction is not really clear. She like turn here and there. Not sure is my understanding problem or what. Hope i can get the it one day.
