Tutorial: Diy Beads Mixed Media Wearable Art Jewelry

[@lzrd8460]

I’m watching from Greece today! Love your beads. Love your calm voice & especially no music to distract. I like your simple chatting away. It’s real. Nowadays people want to be entertained & distracted all the time but not me. Thank you for sharing. xx

[@Creativebirdie]

Hello from Los Angeles California. Thank you for your kindness and inspiring words

[@AndYourLittleDog]

I’ve been having so much fun making these with wide straws to use on my sari silk tassels. Thanks so much for your inspiring content!

[@artbyedna9210]

I love this idea. I have a lot of scrap material these days after making face masks for my family and friends so I’m going to try this mixed media beading. I also like to mix my materials when I create my handmade jewelry and this looks like fun. Thank you💖 sending you much love and health during this time in our lives.

[@Creativebirdie]

Yes I have been a mixed media art designer for over 28 years. I also made many mask as well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and kindness

[@kimberlywinters8566]

Hi Soto, it's just amazing how I've seen your vids 3 yrs ago and it still holds try, not that I thought it wouldn't, it's just I visited it all this time later and it's just as great and gorgeous as it was then and I still want to make boho beads and they are just as interesting and lovable to do today n popular!!!!!! Yea, they never go out of style, people love them as much today as we and I did then!!!!! SO STINKING COOL!!!! SLIMKIM FROM MI 💙💜💚🧡💛🦋🌻👍💕💋💞💓🌺🌹😃🥰🤩🤗😍😁😀

[@Creativebirdie]

Thank you for your kindness today 🦋

For folks who like "speed through" videos, all they need to do is change their settings to 1.5 or 2. A video loaded at normal speed can easily be sped up without losing quality, but one loaded at fast speed cannot be slowed down without losing quality. Thank you for sharing!

[@devinsnow1351]

I'm very new to this bead making and you give me the courage to just go for it.

[@TheOldladyB]

Love the beads. You are so creative. Love the one with the bottle. Thanks for sharing. Can hardly wait for the next video.

[@paperbeadmagic]

I really enjoyed watching your technique on using mixed media. I myself make jewellery from paper beads. And think that by making my own paper bead tubes which will have a hole in the middle, I then can use your technique on building on my tube beads with various materials. Brilliant, thanks for sharing and making me laugh. 😂❤️

[@Creativebirdie]

You are so very warmly welcome

[@mollieyaxley8215]

Had to say I loved you,r video, watched it to the end, something I don’t generally do as I get easily bored. Loved sharing your thoughts and sort of working along with you. Beading is new to me so I learnt a lot. Love from England.❤️

[@vivienpelmore20]

!We are in lockdown here in Spain with the coronavirus and I am having plenty of time to catch up on my jewellery making, I love making fabric beads and found your videos. They are so inspiring and relaxing. Help me pass the time and learn...thankyou

[@Creativebirdie]

We are also on lockdown. Keep safe and sending you love and health

[@rebeccajourney3183]

Try using an old coffee mug to place your glue in. I save my broken handled one for colored pens, pencils, etc. on my art desk.

[@roseannerainwatersmith12]

Your voice and the sounds of you crafting is ASMR for me. If I can't sleep, I turn on one of your videos and...out like a light. I also watch them when I'm awake. Lol. You're awesome!

[@gematoledo8849]

I do the exact same thing!!!

[@bethsjoseph]

Good job I'm getting my beads out. TFS

[@bethsjoseph]

TFS. Beth

[@EvaVilla-pm5mv]

I love wind chimes great idea. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

[@bethvickers2535]

Great tutorial, relaxing and down to earth!

[@Creativebirdie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@katyraeh]

I love watching you! Bojo crafting is the best. Thanks for being so thorough!

[@flgirl250]

I have 10 of those tubes, thanks for the inspiration

[@mollieyaxley8215]

Great video, no damned background music to annoy while you’re trying to concentrate on your art. Thank you.

[@tishsmiddy71]

Lovely Thank you 😊 for sharing

[@nancywiltshire9919]

I tried your other process, but hadn't saved any empty pens, so......I tried drinking straws and used small beads to fill them. Worked great! Thanks for sharing!

[@carolmaloney4351]

I am watching from Brisbane Australia and loving it

[@Creativebirdie]

Hello

[@rebeccajourney3183]

Maybe you could use a silpat (silicone baking sheet) inside an old cookie sheet with sides. Easy clean up and it would give you a sturdy flat, easy clean surface! I'm thinking outloud for myself!

[@Creativebirdie]

Thanks for the tip!

[@lauraorta1003]

Hi I've been doing beads😂😂😂,because i didn't had nothing else I used long bamboo stick that was from flowers too, and that worked out very good, the same effect you had, and made without inside to just the wire and your bead caps hand made , and worked out very cute too, so THANK YOU FOR SHARING.💖 CONGRATULATIONS MRS SIGRID SOTO!

[@lindaallen7800]

I just love your videos. I just found you last night and have been searchiing to see more. Please keep sharing. My first was the paperclips! That was so so inspiring!!! It made me want to start some right now, but it was time to SLEEP !!! Loving this! Have to tell my friends and especially my Sister !!!!!

[@Creativebirdie]

Ooo I love you already

[@aprilsmommy1]

I am loving this a lot. Love when the ideas flow. Love your videos.. Looking forward to watching more and make a few things. Thank you :)

[@michaeladove7269]

Hi there! I wanted to thank you for all your amazing video tutorials. I love everything you make! :D Also thank you for the real time tutorials, people who want it to be shorter, just click on the [gear symbol] on the right side below the video and change the speed to 1.5 or 2.

[@christinecrow1410]

I love your videos in real time. I'm bi polar, and when they are sped up, it is hard on me. Thank you. BoHo Rocks!

[@Creativebirdie]

You are so very welcome. If I make speed through I put it in my title but it is very rare that I speed through. You see my channel is my therapy it’s the only place I have no rules I can just be me

[@riacoleman5766]

Love the commentary and I love the what is it called a ASMR or whatever the feel good sounds you make them love it

[@sharonnorthen9069]

cant wait to see the outcome, really cool idea!

[@indtono71]

you are brilliant Segret..!! i like real time too..I made a few of these beads..practicing so i can trade with you.. i rolled a tube paperbead with heavy paper and small hole so it was real sturdy and stuck a coffee stirrer inside instead of beads..worked really well..just an idea that worked for me.. I love your creation..love love love..tfs..Jeannette

[@evarene07]

Just came across your channel...so inspiring...relaxing...like sitting in the craft room with a girlfriend “creating”🙂...Beads are just extraordinary...I'll be using them in my journals, on tags, mixed media art... Possibilities are endless!💜✌🏼🤩🎍📿

[@vickiwaters2222]

Vicki, Put your bottle of glue upside down in a sturdy glass shorter that the glue bottle for east access. Also, you can get wooden dowels in a variety of thicknesses from your home improvement store. They can be easily cut to desired length.

[@ashphoenix5447]

Yes, it's Stacy awesome?! I love your take on her take of your trash-to-treasure beads. Good stuff.

[@millerl333]

I love your channel! It’s very artistic and fun.

[@SushNeedleCraftNMore108]

lovely creation nd hearing you is a treat

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

Wow!! Those are beautiful beads!! Yes, you were making sense to me. 😉 Yeah, it's very sad about Prince.😪 Ok, that's a cool sneak peak... Looking forward to seeing it put together. 😃

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

;) You're welcome. =)

[@casswms]

Hello, I have a suggestion. create your eye hoops on one wire, the length of your bead, together with the bead caps. Since you are wrapping the bead with fabric and fibers, include the wire together with the screwed and everything as usual. I hope that made since.

[@ruthfleming5072]

WHAT AN EXCELLENT IDEA, I HAVE SOME DONE AND COULDN'T GET MY ENDS TO WORK. THANK YOU.

[@persesrathert8324]

Hi Secret Soto! In 2016 you made a video using wooden floral pieces. You built a bead with the final piece being a small cylinder tube. You planned to do a part two and made a sneak peak video, but I can't find it! I love, love, love watching your creative process, you are so amazing. So, if I don't hear back, thank you so much for this video. You are so real! And everyone is right, your voice is very soothing! Well, cheers! I hope to know where the video from your sneak peak went.🕊🌸🌾🌺

[@Creativebirdie]

i am trying to think back to which one it is

[@Creativebirdie]

can you help me with a link so that i could see and get my butt on the second part please thank you sending lots of love and thank you for your sweet comment your comment makes me want to keep going

[@MariaMLins]

[@DioneCampbell]

[@soal3415]

Girl you need yourself a "She Shed!" Lol..but seriously! I want one...a BIG one ♡ I like this video...I think I'll sub! Thanks!

[@AngelaRossetti369]

I like where this one is going, can't wait to see what's next!!! tyfs HUgs Angela

[@witchypoo420]

Cool!! The "prebeaded" chains you used at the end for charms looked like a deconstructed necklace to me...I would love to see how you do them ( the bead chains)because I could never get my own to look that professional..:)

[@patriciaburt9365]

Did you know you can use coffee stirrers to that's what I use for my boho beads

[@Creativebirdie]

Yes thanks for tip. I was the original creator of these Boho beads those others here on KZbin have been wonderfully inspired by me 🌈🦋😊

[@lorraineduhamel8406]

I like the wire snips you have

[@messerdesigns2055]

Great ideas thanks!

[@Amora986]

Those beads are Gorgeous !! i love them so much!! Ty for sharing honey ,i love your nail art so Cute!! Xoo

Came from Stacy's channel, love the wind chime idea. Great sneak peak will check it out!

[@REVTERAMANI]

I really enjoyed hanging out with you during this fun video! Thank you for being so creative, so generous & kind...sneak peek is intriguing! Hug from Towson, MD

[@ericaprice2570]

They are so cute love it

[@janawilliams5808]

really enjoyed your video !!!! TFS

[@brendagates9368]

Love it sounds like home🤗

[@jeni2classy]

Fantastic video a new subscriber , I think they would also be good in a bigger version as maybe a light pull cord and I thought in the straw beads maybe I might try wedging cigarette filters in the straws to thread the wire thru instead of beads ... really enjoyed this and saved to my favorites thank you :)

[@rivers.stream]

So creative 🌼🌼thank you for sharing. I love the way you creative thought process plays out♥

[@karinmoonhawk3720]

Yay!!! That was a great watch Sigrid! :D As always I really enjoyed your company but.........sneak preview O.o You can't do that to me!!! Hahahaha!!!! Of course I'll be there, I just don't like the wait :D :D I'm really enjoying all these twists ad turns that are happening to the beads :D Keep em coming!!! Meeps and Hugsss xxx

[@marie-lauredechauton6756]

Beautiful!

[@Creativebirdie]

so sweeet thank you so very much

[@boofuzzie]

U make it so easy thank you🌼

[@hummerklein2567]

I’m back missed you so much my husband passed away last year in Aug about to loose my mind but just found you today so I to don’t know what I was gonna say but I’m glad I’m back Thanks for the memories talk to you again 🤣lots of love your way

[@Creativebirdie]

Happy to have you back and I am sending you love ❤️

[@kimlettau4167]

While these are neat I love the pen recycle bead . . I like the chunkiness! Did you ever use the fabric twine you made another great video. What did you create?

[@Creativebirdie]

Thank you. Yes the twin was sold to a restaurant owner for hanging plants 🌱 but I did make more I love it so much

[@roheis]

Buy a pearl reamer from Fire Mountain Gems. They are not expensive and should work well for making a center hole in your skewers.

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

Oh, and hugs back! 😊

[@jody0124]

a soup can works great for holding your glue bottle upside down.

[@lauraroman5207]

Are you still making beads? I just started I love making them

[@Scorpiomary]

I made some like Stacy came out ok. I like your vlog. ☺👍💖 Ps your beads were cute too!!

[@coal4k]

Than you for the great video! I LOVE those beads! I do have a request though.... i ask this of all mixed media artists when I see them doing this; please, don't use book pages in your art. I love a text background too, but there are lots of ways of getting that without destroying books. You can use a text stamp, or newspaper, or scrapbook paper, or print something from your computer. I think that we are getting to a place where soon, the only books left will be the ones already in print. Even the ones that are no longer valid are important, because they document the evolution of thought. Please don't take this as criticism, I love your work ,and you have a lovely, soothing voice. But books are something that someone else has created. Even if it's not a great book.

[@Creativebirdie]

thank you for being kind no criticism taken thanks for stopping by

[@RockyRoadCreationsbyDiana]

I .ove your videos, and yes, your voice is spook soothing. You have a new subbie here from Central Calif. Near Yosemite. I will definitely be making these. Hugs, Diana

[@RockyRoadCreationsbyDiana]

So soothing not spook. Sorry.

[@jdorosco1857]

Love those :-)

[@staffylover1950]

liked and subscribed hun, love your videos! keep them coming!

[@Creativebirdie]

Thanks

[@marciameeker7623]

Not sure if you tried this but when I made paper beads I always kept baby wipes on hand to keep glue off of my hands.

[@Creativebirdie]

Yes thank you for the great idea. But i have a very small budget and have to cut corners but thank you so much for the tip sending you love

[@marciameeker7623]

you are welcome

[@diananighswonger6118]

May of 2020 do you still do exchanges on your boho beads. how do we send things. do you have your mailing address somewhere.?

[@doodlebugcandiecane]

I'm just now finding this video and am really enjoying watching the process! However, the peach or maybe copper colored wire you are using about half way through the video, I am curious about where you found it! I would love to try and find some in my area. I live in Northeast, Louisiana and we don't have all the things that some bigger cities might have, we aren't tiny but. I find when I go to larger towns I find different craft supplies. So if you know where it came from I would really love a heads up. Is there a video for the beads previously created in the jar? FYI: I found the other video! LOL

[@thefuzzypenguin778]

so lovely! love your creations. :-) NEW SUBBIE! Liking your pretty fingernails. I also make handmade jewelry.

[@caroldavis6179]

Where did you get the colored wire. Great job. Beautiful.

[@missscapegrace6675]

I did some on a knit neadle and wear it in the hair.

[@rondagarner7752]

Awesomeness , is the face a polymer clay piece ? I love the hand made bead with the skewer best. Ty for sharing can't wait for the next video. Hugz n Smilz .

[@monalcreates]

Thanks for yet another video Secret and for the sneak peak :) Hugs

[@amandabennett5772]

How should I seal the fabric? I wonder if clear nail would work, or would it yellow later on? (It rains a lot here, and I want to be sure the fabric and yarn/string won't get wet) Do you know if it's true that Mod Podge will come off if it gets wet? thank you.

[@Creativebirdie]

yes i would just stick to varnish not nail polish it will yellow and mod pod will run off if wet but there is outdoor mod podge

[@amandabennett5772]

is the outside Mod Podge OK to put on jewelry?

[@Creativebirdie]

no it is not ok to put on jewelry

[@amandabennett5772]

what would you suggest I use to seal my fabric jewelry?

[@amandabennett5772]

Thank you for answering my questions.

[@leneteckemeier6742]

You could burn a hole in the plastic with a wood burning tool, I guess.

[@autumn8034]

You make me laugh.

[@postalpixie26]

Someday I'd like to make some beads and trade with you. I've made some of those nail polish flowers...of course inspired by you. 💖 BTW, you've got beautiful hands. Love your nails as well✨
