[@elainefeather9465]

I was so excited to come across your channel .I was really looking forward to settling down and watching you create the beautiful bag charm you are holding . I decided to look at the details in the “more” section and was absolutely devastated to learn you have passed away . Rest in peace dear lady , thank you for sharing your talents ,enthusiasm and Beauty with us . Condolences to all who knew and loved Wendy x

[@twistnbend4jewlz]

I did the same😢 condolences ❤ to your loved ones

[@lucyhare5799]

You have taught so many people how to make such beautiful things. I just found you and went to your sight that said you passed this year. It breaks my heart. Thank you for giving us so much of your beautiful creativity. RIP

[@redmarilynn]

Hi Lucy, I have only just found Wendy's wonderful tutorials, but so sad to read your comment about her passing 🙏

[@lucyhare5799]

@@redmarilynn she was way too young. And so gifted.

[@redmarilynn]

@@lucyhare5799 Yes, very sorrowful news to hear.

[@lorenachamberlin1492]

I recognize the cross...I just purchased a bundle of those because I wanted to make Jewelry that honors our Lord in someway. I love the way you added that Wendy.

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thank you : )

[@Lizs.Tallent]

One of my favorites like many you made I came to rewatch. I miss you sooo much!!!!❤💯

[@jennjenn1657]

Oh my goodness, i just came across your video and really impressed so thought i would head over to your site and do some shopping and see that you have passed away😢and so young! Im so sorry for your family and friends! So talented and you sound lovely...I know you are missed...I will continue to watch your videos❤

[@SallyFromCa]

Dearest Wendy...I've finally come to a point where I can watch your videos, and hear your voice again! ....However, if I see your face on this one, I may start crying. Missing you, my dear! You would be so proud of your hubby and the ladies here who were willing and able to take up the slack in your absence from earth. I'm blessed because of you!

[@nancydelarosa5459]

Great video!!! Love your style. Thank you so much for the close up during your work, makes it so much easier for us to see the process. You're a great instructor as well.

[@GLO5girl]

You made the wrapping look so easy....love how you went through step by step...thankyou

[@lindafine2155]

This is the best tutorial on the dangle charms I've seen! Thank you so much! I'll go check out your website, too. 😊

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thank you!

[@elizabethreed6639]

This was a lot of fun!

[@MichelleB_96]

This is so pretty! I made some similar to this around January...for a group of about 10 friends. I found out each of their favorite colors and spend a week wire wrapping and connecting dangles to chain. My fingers were so sore, but they turned out so pretty. Plus, it's so nice to just pull out all the same color beads and use up some of that stash.

[@BarefootBeader]

Beautiful! I really like the white purse tassel. It is so pretty. Have a blessed week.🙂😇👣

[@MetalScrappinChick]

This purse charm is so gorgeous!! I love all shades of purple 😁. I'm sure your mom will love your gifts!

[@thisbeadedlife]

I hope so!

[@sharon94503]

I ❤ the chunky jump rings you use! I have used 4mm split rings instead of jump rings to be sure they won't accidently open.

[@lisaray9404]

Mrs. Wendy, thank you so much for this video! I've been looking to make something like this for a VERY LONG TIME. I have a healthy supply of beautiful beads and this would be a great way for me to make some really nice gifts from my friends. Thank you again! 😊💖🙏

[@2dogsandagirl]

I really miss her and her talent so much

[@ngo7156]

New subscriber here! Loved the way you coiled the wire! I never saw that before. Thanks for making this video! ❤ 😊

[@patriciawalker1787]

Loved both the dangles. White was my favorite.

[@HeidiMBlankenship]

Wendy, these both turned out so beautifully! I love making big purse dangle charms like this. It's fun to add all kinds of beads and charms. Also a great way to use up bead soup beads. I'll have to send you some more polymer clay flowers and beads. I have a few in my stash lol. Hope you're having a great weekend! 💕

[@thisbeadedlife]

You too! : )

[@anitagroves2731]

Hi your channel popped up and I watched you make these and I was so amazed that I too also make these. I was just playing around one day and was making dangles with random beads I had and came up with the purse charm dangle. Their fun to make. Great video 😊 ❤❤❤

[@diannemozzetti9991]

I love making things like this. This one turned out really cute and I love purple as well, it's one of my many favorite colors.

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thanks so much 😊

[@helgama3048]

Wendy, what a beautiful purse 👛 dangle! I will try to make one today! Stay healthy and safe!

[@mariabooth8104]

Sooo cute! I love the coiling or spirals. I never thought of doing it that way but it looks a lot more secure and it works with the dangles very well. Thanks for the awesome video. BTW - I had lost track of y our channel but I'm glad I found it again. I just placed a good size order on your website. Can't wait to get my goodies.

[@maggie2936-q1m]

I think I go to your site at least once a week. Such beautiful items! 😊 oh, those fairies are adorable! 🧚‍♀️😍

[@thisbeadedlife]

Glad you like them! Thank you!!

[@katrinaranderson949]

Love these. I have just started making dangles and love it, even if occasionally I get really frustrated when something breaks.

[@maryannemounts442]

Oh, how very pretty Wendy!😍 I've made lots of these purse charms, in different colors...exactly like this!😍 They're so fun to make...and they bring lots of compliments, hanging from a nice purse! TFS...Good luck with the website!❤

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thanks so much 😊

[@bridgetjones8339]

Lovely video. So sorry to the family for their loss.

[@crystalr5090]

I really like those. I've done purse and planner charms but not as full as those. Hmmmm, something new to try. Thanks!

[@thisbeadedlife]

Aww thanks! I have a boy in Bolivia, Diego. We have supported him for 6 years now! And I have a little girl in mexico, Arisandy. I've supported her for 3 years. I write to them and they wrote back and I send them packages. One day I hope to meet them both.

Loved the video. I made 3 in the last 2 weeks but you gave some tips that I will try in the next ones. Love watching your videos.

[@thisbeadedlife]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@CrystallyneDesigns]

So pretty, Wendy. I've gotta make a few of those.

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thank you : )

[@MrsPinkSparkleBerry]

Love it! Now I need to find some big lobster clasps.

[@thisbeadedlife]

I ordered mine from Aliexpress but they take forever to get to you.

[@bonnievroman6761]

I have a bit of trouble “tucking” the rough end in after cutting my wire. I have seen another you tuber using a crimping tool to tuck that end in. It seemed to work pretty good. I am going to try it. Just an FYI. I do love the purse charms. I am going to try some. ❤️

[@SonyaCrain]

These are beautiful... very well sewn and detailed creations. I'm not seeing as well as I used to, even with my glasses. It's very challenging working with seed beads and stitching like this also using my loom. I have to get a🔎✌️ round magnifying lamp, hopefully it will be helpful, also cut my time down to, 👍🧐😵‍💫🤓🔍

[@Janetmessmore9999]

So beautiful 🤩 thank you for sharing. 💜💜💜

Thank you!

[@TheSparklyBeader87]

Wendy, I love watching you work! Purple is one of my favorites too, along with blues and teals. I haven't had a chance to wear my gorgeous purse dangle you made me because of the lockdown. Hopefully, I will soon. I have worn the dragonfly earrings here in the house. They are so adorable! 💖🌷💍💎

Great tutorial. I visited your website looking for bead fairy, no luck. Wonder if you'd share recommended prices for your purse bangle (this tutorial) and bead fair which is cutest "charm" ever. Thanks for sharing your time and talent. Greatly appreciated.

[@Gloria-e1u]

I'm so sorry to read about Cindy's passing. People need to be so careful , please watch out for motorcycles. 😢

[@deliarobeson6726]

Very nice tutorial. Beautiful dangles. Excellent tips. Know that your Mom will love them. Did visit the site, good luck and keep making these videos. Would be interest in the fairy how to video. Thank you!!

I love your tutorial! I have searched your website to find this chain you used to no avail. Please post a direct link to the chain. Thnk you so much for your help and the video!

[@christinaamador4884]

So pretty, how many links of chain do you usually use? It looks like a good size to me.

[@jessicaa2202]

❤❤you are amazing❤❤!! THANK YOU🎉

[@gloriasmith1940]

This is just beautiful 😍, thank u so much for showing us the process of making one! It's really going to help me to make my very first one!😊 if I enjoy making them I just might make more than one.😁 💗 from MI

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thanks so much 😊

[@texasangel517]

I’m so glad I came across your video. I winged my first 3 they were close but now I know. The length of chain I’ve been using is 9-10 links long. I was using my silicone beadable focal beads. If someone wanted to purchase one what is the price?

[@maybee...]

Can't wait to try this!

[@gracemaxwell6157]

Beautiful!❤️

[@ss-ht6uz]

Very nice creation.

Thanks a lot 😊

I LUV ALL COLORS MY BIRTHSTONE IS AMETHYST & THE COLOR WHEEL 😁💖💖💖💖💖 I JUST GO CRAZY WITH IT

[@clairebacchi360]

Those heavy gauge beads look like chain mailed rings. I have some, but mine are 20 guage. 😮 I started making handbag jewelry a while ago. It’s so much fun 😊

[@srvntlilly]

That's so pretty. So many beautiful purple beads. I really don't have many purple beads. I've got to remember to stock up on those. Where did you get those pretty swirly crosses? I love those. They are the perfect size. I can't seem to find any that size. They're either huge or tiny, or just not very pretty. I love your idea of coiling the head pins to double them. Purse dangles and keychains take a lot of rough handling, and they need to be as sturdy as possible. Hope everything's going well with you and your family and Sadie. 😉☺️💕

[@thisbeadedlife]

I got the crosses at Hobby Lobby. They come in a package with a whole bunch on different sizes and patterns on them. : )

[@srvntlilly]

Wendy Whitman Awesome! Thanks. Guess for now I'll have to goto their website, but hopefully, they're saying MO is gonna be opening up on Monday! 🙏😁

[@sallystepp1964]

This is so beautiful.

[@christinedutton3825]

Very beautiful. I need to get more beads to do this project. 💙💚💛💜😊😊😊😊😊😊👍

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thank you : )

[@galeguenthner9808]

Love this project! The purple is so pretty. Do you attach the dangles only on the links on the chain or do you also attach some dangles to the jump rings of the other dangles ? TFS

[@michelleelms9411]

Besides the cost of tools, how much would you say each one costs? A rough guesstimate I mean. I am thinking of making these for my daughters for Christmas and funds are limited. You have inspired me and your teaching skills are fabulous!

[@carolynlotz7460]

Beautiful dangles. So when u add the beads to the chain do u add them on a specific side of the chain link or does that matter?

[@elizabethmaceachern5653]

so pretty.

[@cindyallen1405]

Do you have a tutorial for the fairy!! My grandkids love fairy's!!!

I am just wondering, have you put your website on Facebook or/and other sites? That might help.

[@thisbeadedlife]

I have it on Instagram alot. Every time I post a jewelry pic, I hashtag it. Facebook not as much but some : )

Oh no I just found this channel such sad news she was an amazing crafter 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@hugsandasmile]

Wendy, I'm sure your mother loved her purse charms. Both of them turned out so gorgeous. I have a question about clicking on the link to your website to move it up in the rankings. If I click on it once and then go back and click on it again the next day will it count as two hits for your site? I did not know if my IP address is recorded and only 1 hit will be counted no matter how many times I click on your link? I'm online daily. I would be happy to click on your link daily if each visit will be counted? Your website looks great! :)

[@thisbeadedlife]

Thank you! And honestly, I dont know how that works with the clicks to the site. I will try to find out though! That is very thoughtful of you and I appreciate it!

[@marilynbridger9612]
