Seed Bead Components For Jewelry - Easy and Fun Technique

[@kristibbradshaw]

I’m a fan of any season I’m still alive. I think your hands are beautiful. I love these components. Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial with us.

[@samanthalatimer1]

Thank you! 😊 I’m pleased you enjoyed the video

[@annietwemlow9967]

It’s not about the hands Sam, it’s about thee beautiful things those hands make! And those are beautiful ! X

[@samanthalatimer1]

Absolutely right 🥰 and thank you! ☺️

[@consueloyoung4484]

You are absolutely magical Samantha!!, there’s nothing you won’t try and are very good at everything you do. That’s me, know a little about many things, etc. I love this tutorial Sam, I have been wanting to get into beading and you just gave me a perfect intro to start. Thank you so much. What am I doing?!?!. I saved a small birdie’s life. He flew hard into a large glass door, I brought him in from 90* weather, calmed him down, gave him a little water. When he settled in my hand I sent him on his way home.

[@samanthalatimer1]

That’s wonderful 🐦 and I’m sure the little guy is grateful for you 😍

Hi, I started to watch this the other day but had to leave it. Next day I got an email from a site I shop that they were having a $1 sale on seed beads (full size containers). I did the sale and will have lots of colors to make these. So I want to thank you for helping me spend my money, lol! I will have fun doing these. Thanks for sharing.

[@samanthalatimer1]

lol I’m so sorry for enticing you to spend 😭😭

[@helma-rs4kr]

Nothing wrong with the hands. They create, so they do perfectly what they were made for. ❤ . Thanks for this tutorial. I will even give this a try. I love,adore eardecorations, in every form, size or shape. Thanks for mentioning the wire sizes. Both inch and cm, tháts the usefull information. When lacking, it's also often the reason to watch and move on. This time 🙂.....

First day of Spring here in Australia, my favourite time of year. I live in the New England region, highish altitude, so it's carnival of flowers time. Deciduous trees springing to life and the days getting warmer. Nights still chilly.

Sounds beautiful where you are. 🥰

Thanks, Sam. This style necklace will make a nice, sturdy chain for my readers.

Never thought to use peyote in this application....cute and with all the colours available in beads, you can pretty well colour match anything! Love it.

[@samanthalatimer1]

Absolutely perfect for matching outfits ☺️

[@jeanettatownsend6807]

I've never tried bead weaving. I've never seen it being done before. I'd like to give it a try, but will have to wait until I can go to Hot Springs next month. We don't have any type of craft store in this little rural town. Thank you for such a interesting tutorial. I really like the components. They are so cute. Oh, and I love spring and fall seasons. I don't much care for summer or winter. Have a wonderful day.....

[@samanthalatimer1]

You too, Jeanetta! Hope you’re having a lovely weekend, and that you and your family are all well 😍

[@chriscirino9278]

Peyote tubes are so versatile. You can do all sorts of bead patterns. I like to do this with delica beads but I’m loving the more organic look with the seed beads ❤

[@samanthalatimer1]

They’re great aren’t they. You can use them for all sorts of things 😍 I do use the delicas too but I did like the look of the regular seeds for this one ❤️

Recently discovered your channel. I'm in New England in the US where the colors are beginning to turn. I'm a wire wrapper and weaver. Have always been interested in trying a little beading and you're the only one I've watched who makes it look fun rather than tedious! Also love your sense of humor. Thank you!

I like your ideas for using these “columns” I stole an idea from a picture I saw on Pinterest and made them with Miyuki Delica beads which gives it a uniformed look then added round size 11 beads for fringe.

[@samanthalatimer1]

I’ve made these LOTS with delica beads and you’re right in that they are more uniform. I just loved the more rounded look of these 😍

Can you take a few moments some time to show what the copper jewellery looks like after it tarnishes and how customers respond when it does?

[@samanthalatimer1]

I’ve never had this issue so I’m not sure what to tell you. Maybe try and leave the copper to tarnish for yourself and experiment with sealants and such 🥰 When I used to sell at markets, most of my pieces were in sterling or coated metals, so it was never an issue. Whenever I’ve sold a piece latterly, I’ve asked the customer what their preference is. A lot of people who buy copper want it raw, as they believe in the healing properties of copper, but some have asked for it to be sealed. I always left it to them to decide after giving them advice on what happens. Some people don’t get reactions, some do. Others prefer the raw, whilst some like the patina look. I’d say it’s for you to experiment and see what you think for yourself ☺️ I don’t sell much these days as my personal circumstances don’t allow me to.

[@heyalicia2551]

Think if you use a background without lines or texture (like this fabric has) the camera won't try to focus on the background instead of your work.

[@samanthalatimer1]

Thank you… it’s usually a great background and I’ve not had any focus issues with this particular one… not sure why it happened this time 😐

[@MsOscara]

Personally, I'm glad to see someone who doesn't have 1.5-inch claws on their fingers doing beadwork. I see too many videos where the presenter is incessantly clicking those ugly things on the work surface, the supplies, etc. It's very distracting (to me) and I constantly find myself wondering how in the heck they manage to make anything when the nails are in the way. No need to apologize for having "normal" looking hands!

Hey Samantha how many Pairs of EARRINGS CAN YOU make in a signal day? I've made up to 6 pairs of Earrings in a day I've also made bracelets as well. But Earrings are my FAVORITE TO MAKE. Samantha I've made a Necklace set once and I wore it to Walmart and this lady she pitched a fit she wanted to buy it from me but I told her I made it for myself but she paid me $25.00 dollars for it 👍🤣 But she took it home and her granddaughter took it away from her, and I told the lady I didn't sale it to your granddaughter I sold it to you only then she said her granddaughter wouldn't give it back to her; but like I said it wasn't my problem you know Samantha? But anyway Samantha do you make Necklace Sets? Samantha I love making Earrings and Necklace Sets myself lol 🤣🤣👍

If like me some seed beads were bought ages ago, could you coat the finished item with a special coating (something like nail polish) to stop the colour rubbing off on you? I bought some of my seed beads ages ago so don't remember what sort they are. M of Aotearoa/New Zealandd

[@samanthalatimer1]

Ooh that’s a question! I’d think you could, so I think I’ll try that and give it a road test. Maybe try on a small sample and let me know how you get along 🥰
