I learn so much from you! Some other tutorials I watch take several minutes before the viewer gets to actually know/understand/see what’s going to be learned, and I spend so much time fast forwarding that I lose interest. You give the viewers a great intro (always relevant and NEVER boring) to whatever project/s you’ll be presenting and then, before we know it, you’ve taught us all a bunch of super incredible skills & techniques! Every moment spent watching your tutorials is a moment well spent! I’m so grateful to you! You are simply remarkable! Thank you ever so much!!!❤️

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Well thanks so much for the beautiful compliments! Time is precious so I try and get to the point and provide value. Glad you are enjoying

[@JanelleNichol]

I have made beads with polymer clay and made them a little bit like different gemstones but I love your idea of using this less expensive version with air dry clay. I also like to decoupage my beads with different paper or napkins to give a little bit of a vintage look. Thanks so much! I love your videos.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Oh might have to try decoupaging some! Thanks for watching

[@christinemcgovern1677]

JanelleNichol. HI!! I was just reading your comment and you have me very curious: how do you decoupage your beads? Thanks! Christine

[@maraleepaulus6605]

I would also like to know

[@faithcomesbyhearing724]

The beads look so pretty. The tassel is a nice touch. Have a blessed day.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thank you! 😊 Glad you enjoyed

[@annakennel356]

I did not see the "how to make a tassel" video linked below as you stated but luckily I found the directions in your video titled "6 easy jute twine diys" in case someone needs to know. I definitely plan to make some beads!

Wooden beads are so much cheaper if you purchase them as garlands at Christmas. Hobby Lobby in the US has them 50% off and they have wooden as well as wool felt balls that make great gnome noses. Walmart had a lot left over at the end of the season that I got at 75% off.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

[@MonaeKekeDesignz]

@@OurUpcycledLife thank you😊❤

[@suzannedowning8848]

I have done this exact same thing but with polymer clay. I also put my paint in a container and shook the beads inside. It sure makes it alot faster than painting them individually. Who has time for that!?! 😂😂Thank u for sharing, I’ll try the air dry clay next time.♥️

Hi! Christine again. Sorry for all the questions , but you're such a big help and I love watching your channel. My question: can I seal these beads with something other than a polycrylic? I have a couple of canisters of spray varnish, do you think that would work? Also, where do you sell your creations? And just one more thing: You had a sticker listed that said "I Love Us". I noticed It's not there anymore. Do you know when you'll be getting them back in stock? Thanks!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I like using poly the best but certainly you can use spray varnish but I do find it may yellow on you. I sell most of my items locally and give a lot for gifts. I will check to see if that graphic is still there. It should be. Thanks for watching Christine.

This looks like such an amazing craft that I would like to try. Where exactly would I get the chalk paint mixture to add color to the beads once shaped and molded? If not chalk paint, can you use another type of coating to add color to the beads? Would Modge podge glue work? Thanks for sharing!

[@josephinejacobs2159]

Hello. I love your videos. What is the difference between air dry clay and polymer clay?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

One of the main differences is the way in which each clay sets. While air dry clay sets with air, polymer clay sets by heat. In fact, you can leave polymer clay out in the air for days and it won't set. Polymer clay also won't shrink while it is hardening, unlike air dry clay.

LOVE THIS!! I have air dry clay..is there a way to remoisten it..just a tad??

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Put in plastic bag with little bit of water in the bottom and seal up for day sometimes that will remoisten it ! :)

[@donnacardwell1976]

Just wondering if the paint will rub after painted over time

[@OurUpcycledLife]

You can steal it off with some poly acrylic sealer if you’re worried about it, not lasting

[@darlenebaker4441]

Can you make a half bead? And what kind of measuring spoon or such would you use?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Sure you can just get creative and form however you want? Thanks for watching Darlene

[@MrKenH62]

Enjoy your videos very much. Question: Did you use that whole block of clay to make those beads? Or did you have some left over? Also, I love working with cement. The next time I have some left over I’ll probably start making beads. These I could leave outside in the garden areas.

[@OurUpcycledLife]
