Thrift Store Haul Beaded Treasures

[@MsCraftyMonica]

That coconut purse is awesome! I had no idea you could make beads out of coconut. I'm stunned.

[@debbiesmith1904]

Loved seeing all the little treasures you found.

[@jotafuri3107]

Really great haul. I love your ideas on utilizing the beads and the belt. Gave me some ideas. Hope you had a great Valentines Day. TFS

[@pamschonfarber1041]

Love the coconut purse, I would have been squealing too, that is too cool. I would love to see more videos like this, it's very interesting the things you find & ideas you have, they inspire. I'll actually be looking at belts & such at thrift stores in a different way now.

[@carlaschulz1840]

Love watching your bead hauls...the coconut purse is very interesting

[@jacquieklockow8891]

What awesome finds! I've never seen coconut shell beads before. They are beautiful! 💜 TFS

[@beadifulnights]

Oh yes! I have bought a lot of coconut beads at thrift stores I love them never see them in craft stores.

[@cavallreynosa1429]

ja ja ja ja me encantó gracias por compartir tus descubrimientos .....está genial la bolsa echa con cocos esta bella amiga .... bendiciones

[@lauttus]

Please please do more videos like this. I love thrift hauls like this. Those were awesome finds! Love the idea of putting the buckle from the belt on the purse. If you can, show us the process of getting it on the purse.

[@jotafuri3107]

Yes please do more videos like this one. I really found it interesting. Thank you again Aleshia.

[@susandamron9798]

I love the thrift haul! Awesome finds! ❤

[@beckyb4074]

Your a lucky young lady, I've never seen anything nearly that nice in any thrift stores in my area of the country. Thanks for the video.Sincerely,Becky B from Arkansas

[@barbmccreary7570]

Yes I would love to see more videos like this.very cool purses

[@rozyroan385]

I remember my sister went to Hawaii about a year ago and she described the kind of thrift store you just described. every hour or so the items get changed out. while the same store in the main land aren't like that, not the ones I've seen anyway. I love your bead hauls. it makes me feel sane, haha, as I have many beads as well. and i too but strands of scrap beads it broken jewelry for the beads. I've bought blouses, if under a dollar, just for the buttons. I've taken apart a belt and made a necklace earring and bracelet sets. once, a guy came up to my booth and asked about the spare metals bits from what I didn't use in a jewelry set I made. I made it very affordable because I had already used up 80% of it. he then starts telling me he re-uses the bits in artsy creations. aaaah! that was very inspiring. Little did he know the origin of what used to be a belt. haha

[@beadifulnights]

That's a great story Rozy roan. It is amazing the things that have beads on it. I have gotten beads off of lamp shades, wall decor, candle holders, pillows, swim suit coverups, skirts, shirts, shoes, hats, belts, dresses and picture fames. There is probably more but these are the things I thought of off the top of my head.

[@rozyroan385]

beadifulnights yes, eyes always peeled on what can be used as a canvas or beads, 😀. thank you for all your beautiful creations and sharing your designs. I've made a few of the beaded bottles, made a loom and made bracelets. I have my eye on those large rings now. 😀

[@lisaheath8987]

love the coconut bag!! nice!!

[@TexasBeliever57]

I love this type of video! I really would love to see a video on how to convert belts into bracelets.

[@ansjeloef8770]

Great haul. I have actually never gone to thrift store. But I am going to try it. Thank you for the tute.

[@SandiRose2008]

That was fun. The watch is abalone shell. I dearly loved the belt buckle. I wouldn't change it. My suggestion would be to make a closure flap for the purse and use the buckle like a clasp. That coconut shell purse took a great deal of work to make it. You grabbed some awesome stuff. Like I said, that was a fun video. Thank you for sharing.

[@beadifulnights]

Thanks, that is a great idea I will try it.

[@rosebud5543]

Awesome finds, Aleshia.

[@murphy1384]

love the video....love to see what ppl can find at thrift stores. guess I need to do more thrift store hunting.

[@MsKeeJay]

I really enjoyed watching this haul video. I love thrift store shopping. Definitely do more videos like this.

[@RosannaMcCoy]

[@brjcreates2336]

Love thrift store finds!!! Once I actually bought freshwater pearls for less than $3.

[@Capirucha65]

love the coconut purse

[@jessiebessie92]

Hi! New subscriber, well kind of, been subscribed for awhile, love your hauls! In this video you were trying to think of what you can do with your lamp work beads, well I'll tell you what I do with mine(the smaller-medium sized ones), I mix them all together in jars, well separated by colour of course, then when I'm not feeling very creative, I'll take some tiger wire (there's lots of names for this wire but that's what I call it) then I'll pour out some on my beading mat and just scoop them up onto my wire until I have maybe 12-24 inches then I'll crimp the ends together and now I have a wrap around necklace, no clasp required :) or you can take bracelet memory wire and do the same thing :)

[@rachelletotsonii4930]

Alesha, that was so awesome. I absolutely love shopping 2nd hand or 3rd or whatever lol. I would love it If you would do more videos. Also maybe we could start some type of trade site where we could trade beads since all of us live in different places. I would also love to know what the value of the items are so I can keep an eye out.

[@mariposasrizadas1924]

in my country Dominican Republic made jewelry of coconut,lamp dolls,and all you cant imagined 😘😘😘😘😘

[@rosalindablackman1873]

Yes, I would like to see more thrift hauls.😇

[@Mistyblackburn2023]

I love this video! I always shop at Thrift shops :D my favorite thing to do! :D I would love to see more video's like this! TFS

[@kaseygraham6525]

I took the lampwork beads and different color wire and wrapped them onto skewers I bought from the $ store and made plant/garden pokes. They would even make bookmarks if the skewer was long enough.

[@uwsupergirl]

love seeing your finds! do you have a video with tips on taking thrift store finds apart?

[@BEVISA1219]

In my city I can't to find something like that at thrift stores, but good for you. I'll like to see your videos with the things that you found

[@creationsbychristieb]

You should do a video of how you recycle the things you take apart and possibly show how you take the beads off of a bag or clothing. I've thought about it but I always get intimidated when it comes doing it.

[@judylehman7997]

the black belt would also make a great choker besides a bracelet.

[@BrandyLei]

The lamp work beads work well as sun catchers or wind chimes

[@SqueakeyCat]

Those shells, as you called them, are Abalone. They can get very expensive. I have a watch that I made using those same Abalone shell beads.

[@brendakinney8947]

Make a wind chime with the cheap lamp work beads. I have a couple of beaded bags similar to your bag with the black beads

[@renewalof48]

Nice beads.

[@jilllukas]

Awesome Haul!! I Love your videos ... so YES I would like to see more like this. I also wouldn't mind seeing how u do a Coconut 😊

[@yonisha]

I am always looking for these treasures on thrift stores :)

[@sarahconduit1777]

a suggestion for your lampwork beads, If you watch certain historical TV series like ROME, they wore a lot of wire and lampwork beads of different colours and styles. you could take wire and make "caged" beads and necklaces from them, or i use them as lamp pulls.Or Just simple necklaces of links made with the beads and maybe some pearls to pull it together, But i would watch historical shows especially ROman, Mesopatamian, Greek, Etc.for inspiration. THe history channel is froth with ideas!

[@sandramccormick8326]

Oh yes, yes, yes! More! I love your haul videos (even if my blue eyes turn green 😂😂😂)

[@gailrod2096]

High Five on your haul, I also love to thrift! G

[@debbiewofford7550]

Thank you for the great video!!

[@anapanama11]

I love this type of video.

[@marthatownsend7702]

I Love these vids !!! I go out shoppin and dont find a darn thing around here, but maybe i need to venture out a little farther :)

[@marthatownsend7702]

maybe on that belt buckle for the purse, cut the leather off at the hinge , leave the hinge on,and sew it on. Keep the hook part on and then u can sew round it and stableize it........just a thought :)

[@lorettas4443]

good haul. I make a bead soup necklace with beads like you got in that $2 bag.

[@beadifulnights]

That's a great idea!!! Thank you

[@bookanne]

My dad calls it bead soup too..he said when he and his step sister were kids up until they were young adults they'd take their bead soup tins and grab and throw handfuls at a time in their backyard LOL. I'd like to go in that backyard and see if they haven't done work in that area and they might still be there. 😄 Bead soup jewelry usually turns out really nice 💕

[@Zhaleen]

I do the something. My husband is like what are you going to do with that and I was like take apart and use the beads hehe

[@tiedyekris]

I watched a video, where a lady took a coconut purse like the one you have and turned it into a journal, she cut down the sides, and used it like the cover for her book. I know you don't want to cut that one, but maybe someone watching this has a broken one that they are trying to figure out what to do with it.

[@erinmorrison6199]

I’d love to see mor of this kind of video

[@rachealcharley3599]

Do you have a tutorial on anklets with beaded fringes?

[@Delphinia310]

I always try to find antique buttons for crafts and jewelry

[@tiffanywells774]

those shells on the watch look like Abalone shell

[@clarajones7646]

This has been so interesting.. Thank you so much................

Julie King I know right!! She has to be one of the sweetest little hearts on KZbin so I'd hate to correct her but I'm a retired teacher so the "tooken" (and sometimes she says "I seen instead of I saw") drives me bananas lol!! But she's just such a sweetie pie!!!
