I’m a Native who can’t bead… Making 2022 the year I can bead proficiently 🙏🏽 This video was super helpful!! Thank you for sharing!

[@adrianfrio203]

Im native american and this is something I actually want to do .. This bead work is really calling me something I can bring to my Southern Tigua Tribe , I'm from El Paso Tx ,and this video is showing me something!!! thank you.

[@kc326]

I love these tutorials! I watched you peyote stitch lanyard, and I am a quarter of the way done on my first lanyard. I started making lanyards because I am trying to make one for each of my immediate family for Christmas gifts. If I didn't watch your videos I would not be able to buy as many as I need to get everyone a gift!! Thank you for all the time and teaching you put into your videos!!

[@SierraJohnson]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I beaded my first hoop using your video. 😃

[@erikatommie1166]

These hoops are dynamite! I love your design..great video!

[@michelinevaughan2075]

I am patiently waiting for you to share how you go about your patterns, I’ve tried a few times but always seem to get lost! 🥺

[@sarenhownie1817]

Me too! ??

[@Rosie-wi6xe]

Great video. Very calming! Thank you.

[@glorialoveland5370]

Beautiful work!! I always love your colors!!!

[@sarenhownie1817]

I’ve beaded for years and years. My needle threading hint for everyone is for threading any size needle. 👌pinch thread tightly between finger and thumb leaving only a tiny view of thread end. Press needle eye down over it, and you’ll catch it usually on first try. Good luck my beading buddies 🙏

[@nicolehouse6644]

I appreciate you and your shares of knowledge

[@draven3838]

Beautiful work ,might be hard for my big hands. However I'm always up for a challenge. Thank you

[@6clanker6]

Thank you for sharing ❤

[@denasewell]

I feel like beading the rope and then putting it on the hoop makes a smoother hoop...but if you do it that way you have to make sure the hoop is not a clicker closure or lever the rope cannot go on the hoop with those styles. Great tutorial! thanks so much!

[@CoolBadger]

I want to try this, but I'm getting cramps in my fingers just watching this! Lol! Beautiful work!

[@cmbergersct3492]

Thank you for your great, clear explanation & camera work. Did you start with an odd or even number - or is tubular peyote always an odd number?

[@arleneindian8261]

Do you draw your pattern on graph paper first or make a pattern as you go along? If drawing a pattern how many beads wide? I see you started off with seven beads.

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

No, I don't draw anything out for hoops. It's easier just to go with the beads and figure out designs as you go. I didn't start beading these designs from the get go. There's a lot of trial and error. What you feel looks good is all a part of creativity ☺️ You can use a lot of colors or even just 2 colors 🖤 I do however use graph paper and design for flat peyote stitch work.

[@fantasydreamcreations8759]

I love watching your videos. I was wondering could you use the waxed beading thread on amazon?

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

I've never tried it but, if its that "thread conditioner" I'm pretty sure it'll do the same as beez wax.

[@delphinecrosschild7675]

I’ve been following you and thanks for the fabulous Editorial. I would like to know how to do designs if possible do you have any editorial on designs?

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

Awe, thank you! Unfortunately I do not draw out any designs for hoop earrings. I just play with ideas I have in my head. A lot of trial and error to see what they look like on the hoops ☺️

[@kc326]

Have you ever used seed beads, or cut beads for beading hoop earrings?

[@Ideas7563]

How do you design your pattern? Do you use a bead program or down on paper?

[@lenatsosie]

Melissa Question, if you doing the 7 beads, how do u start the second row, do u step up and go thru two beads. Because I can get it.

[@Tsitak420]

Where do you get your hoops from? I’ve been looking for a tutorial on how to make these for so long. Thank you!! Or Nià:wen!

[@ninagobin99]

I need help with designs! It’s always so hard to find a good one for beginners

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

I'm hoping to get a new design tutorial going soon. I'm just beading what I can to sell ATM and then I'll record another tutorial ☺️

[@teawtamarah]

Pls door curious ojicree here

[@wybaker1]

Hello, i’m learning and would you tell me what size beads you use on hoop earrings, on that video that you showed

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

I used size 11 Delica beads ☺️

[@vanna13v]

Totally off topic but I wanted to tell you that you're very striking. You're very beautiful and have such a strong voice. Anyway, it's very good for videos! Thanks for sharing! ✌️

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

Thank you very much for the compliments ❤️ they are greatly appreciated 🥰

[@betsypartridge4854]

do you tie the first knot 2 times? I can't get it to stay tied with just 1 knot

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

I tie my knots twice 😊

[@vanessavalenciano1654]

Can you make a tutorial on how to make a beaded lighter case?

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

Hopefully soon. I started taking custom orders again so, I'm pretty busy. But, I am working on it ☺️

[@tarabeaver8713]

I did this for my little hoops. And mine didn't turn out straight like yours. I had to twist my beads and make it spiral to make it look good. Idk what I did wrong

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

I put a dab of nail glue at the beginning to keep the beads in place and just keep them lined up all the way to the end and put another dab of nail glue to hold it.

[@hbgh1420]

Where can I order a pair of these?

[@user-cm5cr5yg7r]

Do u use glue at the end like super glue at the ends of the string

[@rholbrook8009]

I would like to know what size diameter hoop you are using. This hoop looks very large. Thank you

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

Good evening, they were 2.5 inch wide hoops (63.5mm).

[@genevieveandrews6845]

Where did she get the wax?

[@idblackshear]

Where do you get your hoops from?

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

I purchase my hoops from Walmart, Ardene's or London Drugs (Canada).

[@kathleenbigsmoke-mitchell4898]

Do you find it easier to bead on the faceted hoops vs the smooth ones?

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

Yes, it needs to be a little thick. I find the beads stay put ☺️ Thinner hoops I save for my teeny tiny beads lol (size 15's).

[@marycloud391]

approximately how long does it take to make these hoops?

[@elsietamburelli8780]

How do you make your designer the colors into color.

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

In my head ❤️

[@charlesmartinez6548]

What size beads do you use for this design?

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

Size 11 delica beads

[@vnm0831]

Any needle or do you use a certain type?

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

10, 11 or 12 needle will do for 11 Delica beads.

[@madisonc.4349]

Why do you string it out all the way with every bead?

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

I don't like putting a lot of knots on the work. So, I use a long enough thread that will last me through the entire hoop.

[@vlgrande1]

Is that aearring

[@Susan-ms1wm]

Melissa I don't know if you will get this but I am going to give it a shot. Okay I a very strange question but sometimes if I just type it out I can almost always solve my own question so here it goes. I have over the years collected metal bangles and I have all sizes and thickness silver, gold and copper. What I was wondering is this when I get to the end because the bangle is totally round it doesn't open it is a slip on bangle, when I get to the end with peyote do I just do what they call a zip up of the starting point and the end point it that it, did I answer my own question is that what you would do? okay thanks have a nice evening and thanks for your attention in this matter.

[@angieluvv7735]

Yes that is exactly what you would do lol you answered your own question🙂 but a zip up is what you would do to finish it off to make it all come together

[@Susan-ms1wm]

@@angieluvv7735 Angie I have an issue please if you can help. Okay I have these thick hoops but after I bead so long about an inch my threads separate and yes breaks why what am I doing wrong I don't understand and I am doing peyote and doing it right but as it curves it wants to separate and break. I did the stitch off the hoop and it didn't do it only on the hoop.

[@angieluvv7735]

@@Susan-ms1wm have you bees waxed your thread before starting? Idk why but this used to happen to me quite a bit using a different kind of thread compared to the fireline string I like using now. I suggest beeswax first if not look into the fireline thread it’s amazing and stays in place. As for the peyote stitch I’m not sure what would cause it to not hold. I’ll get back to you ASAP if I figure that out

[@angieluvv7735]

@@Susan-ms1wm ooooh okay I see what you mean so how she shows in the video that you have to wax the string together. I normally don’t do that and it still works out perfectly. Sorry I get what you mean as I re-read your question. My suggestion now would be to get your hands on some fireline thread and use that instead as it doesn’t fray easily and you can manipulate the string to stay in the place you want it to VERY well

[@angieluvv7735]

And fireline so you don’t have to wax the string together as it is already a thick type of string. I use delica beads with this so before you as yes it works perfectly with the delica beads🙂 hope I answered your questions!

[@alicedesjarlais2545]

I could have learned how to make this earing if you would have said when and where to add beads

[@clkenmille2778]

So you don't go through all 7 beads? Just the last bead once? Than start skipping? Interesting, almost every video I've seen they go through all of the beads. Opposite of which way ge thread is going, than once more thru the last, to make it a circle. If that makes sense. Lol I'm getting ready to start beading with approximately 60 students this coming week. Out of those 60 , hardly any have done any kind of beading so I'm doing the wrapping technique with them. There's a couple who want to do peyote.. So I'm just trying to refresh my memory and figuring out a successful way to explain how to start. When you're just doing it, it's easy. But explaining it in a way students will understand &, stick is a little tricky. Lol

Couldn't really see what you were doing...need a closer view

[@sarenhownie1817]

I’m confused. If you are so concerned about not sharing your pattern, then why use it as an explanation. How is that teaching anything. Perhaps you’re afraid of competition? This is sad video teaching.🙏

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

Not at all. I don't have drawn out patterns. The design is in my head and I just mix and match color combos. I have a few beader friends and admirers who use my design freely. I'm here to sgow what I know FREELY. Not something our people would traditionally do but, I'm trying.

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

This video is not to show the pattern. It's to show Peyote Stitch Hoop earrings. A lot of people are beginner's so, I encourage using only one or two colors and not in this design.

[@shineantone3710]

Thank you for the demo 🪡 Q? So around the hoop entire time it's only picking up one bead from start to finish?

[@MelissaChilcotinChar]

Yes, one bead and 7 beads around to start. Odd count has no step ups so, you're continuously adding 1 bead at a time till the end.

But unfortunately there are many people out there that will copy the designs instead of coming up with their own designs.
