What Can We Make From Bags Of Vintage Beads? 15 Miniature Crafts!

[@hollysmalley6475]

I have been estranged from my mother for nearly 4 years. I spent a lot of my adulthood crafting with her and they were my favourite memories. Watching this gives me comfort

[@donnaroten599]

My grandmother had two pet cardinals, and she named them Jake and Jenny. They would land outside her windowsill and talk to her every morning.

[@AbbeGold]

I have made a lamp out of beads.

[@jenniecohee7797]

I think the lantern would make a great chicken feeder, so bring on those tiny little chickens

[@jenniecohee7797]

I loved them all

[@bonnieharris4538]

That looks EXACTLY like a red cardinal. In such teeny tiny form I find that accuracy astounding

[@lovelyskull3483]

Absolutely beautiful tiny things. As you know I always love Sunny supervising. Thank you.

[@margaretlynch1494]

🙋‍♀️❤️. It's worry free world when you two are crafting! ⚘️⚘️

[@Singit24Seven]

A Texan, here, and we have lovely Cardinals…but where I am from we lovingly call them “Red Birds”. They’re quite large birds, and I always love seeing them! We also have an occasional Blue Jay. One of my favorites is the Road Runner, which I hardly ever see anymore, but get so excited when I do! Also, a little tip…if you soak your dried-on paint brushes in rubbing alcohol for a few days, they will become as good as new. It dissolves the paint. Well, as long as the dried-on paint is acrylic. I’ve saved quite a few brushes that way. LOVE this episode! ❤️

[@FluffyFace-mj3ro]

Oh, I love the little bead doll! She is exquisite!

[@SongOfSongsChapterTwoVerseFour]

I love her, too. ❤😊

[@craftyhobbit7623]

One of my favourite things to make with beads are potion bottles for a witch or wizard's cupboard. If you make 24th scale houses, they can look really good on a shelf, specially the see through ones. On larger scales, you have to be a bit more selective, though. You could probably make some Christmas tree strings with the seed beads.

[@Grandma_Jizzzzzzzard]

I wish I had a mom like that. This was so heartwarming to watch and to listen to. I love your little things.🤍🤍🫧

[@Chiamex]

It's incredible that these are all handmade! They are absolutely wonderful. Such creativity!

[@mdeysenroth]

Yes! We have Cardinals in America, at least in the Northeast where I live. The tuft on top of their head is called a crest. Other crested birds in the US include Blue Jays and Cedar Waxwings. I'm sure there are more. It is said that if a Cardinal pays you a visit, it is the spirit of a passed loved one come to call.

[@melissasalas8639]

I must add that I love watching your mudlarking channel. I've always wanted to explore the river Thames 😊

[@katherinekurash6683]

Kate, you are so very artistic! Love your bitty doll, cardinal, the globe and your turtle! The perfume bottles are just perfect, Fleur! Can't wait for more creative bead ideas!

[@SharonPadget]

You ladies have so much patience to work with such tiny items. I don’t know how you get all your ideas. So imaginative. Thanks

[@papabear2515]

I always hit “thumbs up” before even starting your videos because every single one is always so relaxing, charming and joyful! Your video is truly the sweet, shining light for me in what feels like the darkness for so many (myself included) here in the US. Bless you! 💙 Kathleen

[@SharonPadget]

Same here. We Americans certainly need a distraction.

[@marygatdula2744]

Same here!

[@lucindalandphere860]

Beaded curtains ? Beaded rugs ? Tiny bead bracelets & necklaces for the dolls ?

[@whatanitemare]

Anne of Green Gables is Canadian!! I love how happy it makes Sunny just to hang out with you. He's always purring.

[@lucindalandphere860]

You should try making tiny humming bird feeders with some to hang outside your doll houses !

[@kathylundquist2674]

it is so nice to see you enjoying each others company while crafting. Finding something you both enjoy

[@jabine59]

We do have cardinals in America, they are very cheering to see on a snowy day. Thank you, I am enjoying your crafting!

[@maryderleth7860]

I just love the kitty helping you lol!

[@maryfritz8944]

Thank You so much for making this video. I wish I had a good friend to craft with I love working with beads and you two sweet ladies have given me some wonderful ideas because I am just starting to do miniatures, and I have Cerebral Palsy, Autism, and ADHD and I found some handy tips from watching this and it is also very calming and very relaxing to watch Thank you again.

[@denisew3917]

A care free world of miniatures in your workshop. The cardinal and matchstick doll are my favorites. Always a pleasure to see what Sunny is doing in between naps.

[@normagrimstad8869]

Sunny is so awesome. Never to be left out of the fun.

[@jennt6396]

Beautiful meticulous work ladies! Lovely

[@deeannmcginnis2115]

You two are so talented and incredibly crafty. I can't pick a favorite here. I love them all.

[@nancysadirondackart50]

You nailed the cardinal - good job on these creations - it's more about your creativity.

[@evekankam6744]

You two are brilliant,everything you made was amazing and the doll was awesome,thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@Zolwena]

Love hearing this kitty purring, my kitty is like this, wants to be involved with whatever I am doing

[@cathyratliff398]

Amazing job, everything turned out adorable. I can't wait to see everything in use. I love all the little miniatures you ladies made today 💕

[@lauraoneill937]

I love this bead craft! You are such talented creative ladies

[@cdmikie]

I love that you get new ideas by talking about what you are doing!

[@anniegironne8444]

What a treasure box. Great work ladies.

[@lisamurphy5663]

Sunny cat has a creative soul too!👍💕

[@bonnerdebbie]

You two always amaze me! Thank you. I adore them!

[@DeaFallTwoCount]

I’ve just discovered your videos and I want to say that I was already interested as a crafter but I knew I wanted to see all the rest when you two went back and forth with the turtle idea and then giggled at how silly the word can be! Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge, but also your calm, your joy and your gentle friendliness with each other ❤️‍🩹🐢

[@sharonc7031]

Always a joy to visit together.

[@NinaPeery]

I love miniatures. Your creations are lovely and darling!

[@Robotj992]

I love the little piece made with the dark green round bead. As you were assembling it, I immediately thought, "A lamp! How awesome!" Lol I think it would look lovely with a tiny lamp shade.

[@carolekinsey7835]

The ideas are endless, if you have the beads to trigger a thought of what they look like. The teeny things you made were very cute indeed. I adored the little doll you made. Sunny, your a very social kind of cat. Always happy to come see what you ladies are up to. Mew to you boy. 😊

[@kaiyakershaw1028]

Hearing you two talking and laughing makes me miss my mom. I live a few hours away and don’t see her nearly enough. We never get to make stuff together anymore. I’m going to call her tomorrow and we’re going to schedule a crafting date!

[@bluebird3042]

I love the way cats have to be involved in everything 😊

[@shellbell1517]

Thank you so much for posting this. I needed simple flowers for tiny brown glass fluticasone bottles. I love tiny things! The perfume bottles…so pretty. Potion bottles for charm bracelets. Many ❤s.

[@heartofdixieprepping4797]

I have so many beads. My friend picks up vintage pieces of jewelry for me and I take them apart. I’m making a mini library and wanted a globe. I never thought to use a large bead and thumbtack. Genius!

[@heartofdixieprepping4797]

Well, maybe not a thumbtack now that I've looked more closely. It's absolutely gorgeous.

[@tinyTears]

Fantastic miniatures that you made from beads, you ladies are so gifted. Thanks for sharing.

[@mamaduck5981]

Everything is so cute. You two are so creative. Thank you for sharing.

[@elisesterling9634]

It’s hard to choose a favorite, but I do just love that globe, the thread spool, the flowers, the bottles, the candle…so so fun!

[@janedickson-gw4pb]

Soooo tiny! Such cute little lovelies for future doll houses. Great use of your beads!!❤

[@1983zoe]

There’s something so wholesome and relaxing about watching your videos, thank you for sharing ❤

[@gaynortaylor3840]

Beautiful miniatures! I love the little doll and the jug of daisies. The tortoise is also very cute.

[@susansnyder11]

You are a very imaginative and talented young lady. ❤️

[@LisaShelton-q5y]

Absolutely loved this video! I'm into beads and miniatures! I love dollhouses! I learned some cool new ideas from this! Thank you for sharing, you ladies do an amazing job!❤ I loved everything you made!😊

[@tinacluff2793]

I live in the US and cardinals are believed to be loved ones who passed and have come back as to check on you.

[@blackfeathercrafts]

I've never heard that one.

[@marygatdula2744]

I was a caregiver for a sweet lady who had advanced dementia. She had a large picture window in her living room, and a cardinal appeared there nearly every single day, no matter the season. I was there for over a year, and he never failed to show up in all that time. I often wondered about the traditional belief and whether it was her mother or her only son, who was killed in a car accident at the age of 18.

[@juliederry3719]

We say that about robins here Tina, “ when robins appear loved ones are near” x 🇬🇧

[@blackfeathercrafts]

@@tinacluff2793 there’s a cardinal that shows up and teases my cat through the window.

[@kirstencook1439]

I hear the 🕊️& the 🦋 not the cardinal 🗽🇺🇲🦅🕊️🫶🐦🏵️🍂 🌱🐛🕊️🪻🤗

[@shelleylake7636]

So lovely to watch you two craft thank you. I miss it due to health. Enjoying the piano background music too thanks xo ❤

[@barbararosensteel8031]

These all came out so great! Kate I loved your dress at the beginning of this video. It is so pretty!!!

[@Hippiechick11]

These are so amazing. I just sat and oohed and ahhed the whole time I was watching you two.

[@sherriemetcalf7120]

It is amazing what your creativity allowed you to see and then make in that pile of beads! Love your channels!

[@crystalcrannell-moberg3828]

Quite inspiring! They are handmade, but aren't most little miniatures? So very creative!

[@ruthdavis9090]

love these..especially the caterpillar and the globe. I'm watching you while I am surrounded by beads. I'm making jewellery and I can see so much potential for miniatures you are really inspiring me!

[@kimberlymolitor354]

I would love to see a Little House on the Prairie scene!! My father-in-law actually lived in Walnut Grove,MN and played for their football team!! The little doll first looked like a Russian nesting doll before you put limbs on her!!❤❤❤

[@Robotj992]

My house is in Spring Valley, MN where we have a museum dedicated to them. The Laura Ingalls Wilder Site museum with lots of artifacts from the time. "Laura Ingalls Wilder Site, on National Historic register, built in 1876. Two floors of exhibits including a Country Store and exhibit on Richard Sears of Sears & Roebuck fame. Washburn-Zittleman House Museum built in 1866. Features beautiful Victorian furnishings." My house was built prior to both of these places! It was built in 1855. Quite possibly the oldest structure still standing in town.

[@kimberlymolitor354]

@Robotj992 I am from Austin Minnesota. Not far from you! My in-laws lived in Spring Valley up until my father-in-law's passing. He is buried in the lovely VA cemetery in Preston. Small world!

[@maryannadkins8307]

Kitty cat is so interested!!

[@FlorenceFrazier2002]

Your creativeness knows no bounds. I love everything you made! Thanks for sharing with us ladies!

[@cynthiabuttry6549]

You need a small tea towel so your beads won't roll off the table. Such unique imaginations!!❤🎉

[@thestillroomjournals]

Wonderful! I love watching you both work…you are very inspiring. Thank you 💕🙏

[@lisaslittlecritters]

I love the little match stick doll. She is precious!!❤

[@sandraorozco5132]

I love each piece! So adorable, I love the cardinal and the caterpillar. Very enjoyable video. As always.

[@moyrakeatings7878]

Hi Fleur and Kate, another beautiful video! I love the green perfume bottle, so convincing. Maybe some time on this channel you could do a short film about what tools and materials you like best to use, milliput, which glues are good etc., I'm sure other crafters would really appreciate that. Mx

[@Lunablueeyes]

You lovelies are so talented!!!

[@desireepeters7520]

I am 53 years old and I am in the USA and I just enjoy your talent and your sense of humor. Your cat is beautiful , thank you for just being here on KZbin , you're good company ✝️ God bless you and your family 🇺🇸👍🏻😊

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

What fantastic ideas! Thank you for sharing😊

[@cndsynz]

Simply lovely!

[@JudiClark-fx8tt]

So many pretty things. You two are so talented. Thank you for sharing.

[@lisaa.1136]

All we're so cute! Particularly love the globe, the cardinal and of course the tiny dolly. 🥰

[@alongway99]

Love your miniatures. Mushrooms, toadstools, ladybugs, beetles, potion bottles, candles came to mind.

[@fionasimagination]

Such lovely creations! What I wouldn't do to be able to sit there with you lovely ladies, chatting and creating. 🥰 A wonderful selection of little trinkets, exactly what I love crafting most. Just making what ever comes to mind. Looking at materials and old, thrifted, or found objects and let inspiration strike and lead in the moment. What bliss! I miss that soso much. I do hope my body will let me experience another craft session like this before I pass. I used to craft with my mother like this almost every weekend as a child, we would put on nature sound cds and sit at the dining table for a few hours together. It's incredible that those are the memories that come to mind first when I think of that time when really we were in a horrible situation with my very violent, alcoholic and drug addicted father who was doing everything he could to make my mother's life as miserable as possible. And yet she managed to keep so much of it away from me and make sweet memories like our craft dates for me to look back on instead. I am so thankful and in awe!❤

[@mytinyminis]

Lovely time watching all the little treasures you make...little doll is my favourite...❤❤❤

[@juliederry3719]

Another successful video ladies, bursting with so much inspiration, love everything you’ve created, my favourite has to be the cutest little doll, and the ideas just keep coming from you two, can’t forget to mention Sunny the cat too, tfs x Julie

[@kimpeasester]

LADIES!!YOU CONTINUE TO BLOW ME AWAY WITH YOUR ARTISTIC SKILLS. I HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME WATCHING YOU CREATE ALL THESE PIECES. ANOTHER EXCELLENT VIDEO!! LOVE AND HUGS FROM MASSACHUSETTS IN THE U.S.

[@xxxsdl]

I love the hand made things the most!

[@baffledmouse]

Wow, this tiny collection is so beautiful. I have so many beads so this has given me some good ideas!

[@penihavir1777]

[@lynneb.9562]

Thanksgiving Day in the US. found your channel for the first time. subscribed immediately. you had me at the intro -- a curious cat and 50p bags o' beads and miniature treasures! difficult to choose a favourite project, but the globe is brilliant!

[@opalcarroll3195]

I enjoyed immensely your purring grey assistant!

[@tracybeil4625]

Minis make me so happy!😊 ❤🇺🇸

[@dixiegelinas3531]

You’re both remarkable. I’ve never thought of something like this. It’s fascinating.

[@KarenLulay-vc8kb]

What a fun video. Thank you for sharing your talents....

[@pamelasteburg6006]

We have cardinals here too in Minnesota. I haven't been here (to your channel) for a long time. I see you are still making very nice things! Thank you!

[@mildredcaudle7272]

I loved all your bead crafts, my favorite is the little doll. I live in West Virginia in the US and the Cardinal is our State Bird. I've always heard when there is a Cardinal around that it is a love one checking on you. Every time I see one I talk to it because I feel like it is my husband checking on me ❤

[@Mary-mv2kn]

Oh ladies I enjoyed watching both make your tiny miniatures out of beads. I don't have a favorite I like them all. You could make a miniature nut cracker or toy soldier for Christmas. The red bird is a cardinal and I do see them here in Georgia. Love to see sunny cat approving your work and video. I like your vintage cabinet that sunny is laying on. Enjoy your weekend and looking forward to the upcoming coming videos. Cheers Xxx Mary

[@sandralovegrove2805]

Well done ladies ❤
