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

[@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! ❤️

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

[@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 🗽🇺🇲🦅🕊️🫶🐦🏵️🍂 🌱🐛🕊️🪻🤗

[@margaretlynch1494]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@lucindalandphere860]

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

[@lovelyskull3483]

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

[@lucindalandphere860]

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

[@JudyHenry-e8p]

What wonderful little creations! My favorite is your little dolly😊.

[@FluffyFace-mj3ro]

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

[@SongOfSongsOneTwelve]

I love her, too. ❤😊

[@Chiamex]

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

[@bonnieharris4538]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@whatanitemare]

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

[@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!

[@terricollins8450]

I love it when Fleur laughs 😊

[@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 🇺🇸👍🏻😊

[@patriciabrowning5741]

Sweet little miniatures

[@1983zoe]

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

[@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

[@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. 😊

[@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.

[@MisteriPerson]

Your projects always give me inspiration, fantastic job ladies!

[@lisamurphy5663]

Sunny cat has a creative soul too!👍💕

[@penihavir1777]

You two are amazing!!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@WendyLorenc]

Oh kitty, you need to be in on the action. Always.

[@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.

[@virginiaallisonpeck2517]

Imagination is such a precious thing❤❤❤

[@JudiClark-fx8tt]

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

[@maryderleth7860]

I just love the kitty helping you lol!

[@normagrimstad8869]

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

[@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!

[@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 ❤️‍🩹🐢

[@1gr8lpta]

I THINK I’LL HAVE TO BINGE WATCH TO CATCH UP. WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

[@kathylundquist2674]

[@jennt6396]

Beautiful meticulous work ladies! Lovely

[@AnnaScopesi-ml1uy]

I love these little treasures.

[@kimwatson7463]

They are all amazing! As an avid bird watcher, I ADORE the Cardinal. Sadly we don’t have many where I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado so I’m very happy to see even a teeny, tiny one! ❤

[@lidanaude8022]

Cooked eggs in a cup. This is so adorably cute! ❤

[@tinyTears]

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

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

What fantastic ideas! Thank you for sharing😊

[@nancysadirondackart50]

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

[@susansnyder11]

You are a very imaginative and talented young lady. ❤️

[@gaynortaylor3840]

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

[@sharonc7031]

Always a joy to visit together.

[@moonlightandhares]

Such great ideas. I love the teeny matchstick doll 🥰

[@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.

[@gracestanding9618]

I'm enchanted at your talent!

[@deeannmcginnis2115]

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

[@Lunablueeyes]

You lovelies are so talented!!!

[@VenusDeMilitant]

The back of Sunnycat's head is so cute, it deserves it's own co-starring credit.

[@lisaa.1136]

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

[@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!

[@thestillroomjournals]

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

[@izzpop781]

These are all adorable and so cleverly created. I'm now eyeing my bead stash excitedly 😀

[@KarenLulay-vc8kb]

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

[@mytinyminis]

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

[@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 ❤

[@eileenahern6139]

I love it all! Always great to see Sunny Cat 🧡

[@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!❤

[@cynthiabuttry6549]

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

[@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.

[@debcattell7059]

Love these so much ❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰 thank you Lovelies 😍😍

[@janedickson-gw4pb]

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

[@anniegironne8444]

What a treasure box. Great work ladies.

[@barbararosensteel8031]

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

[@opalcarroll3195]

I enjoyed immensely your purring grey assistant!

[@xxxsdl]

I love the hand made things the most!

[@chrissie1057]

Thank you. I found this inspiring.

[@tracybeil4625]

Minis make me so happy!😊 ❤🇺🇸

[@catatonia2001]

Lovely, yes I have also made bottles from glass beads, and inkpots.

[@bookmouse2719]

So creative, I like the cardinal.

[@adelebosch7642]

I love every film you make Thank you 🇿🇦

[@DebbraBossier-s1i]

Love them all.❤ thanks for showing us.

[@dixiegelinas3531]

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

[@marynorthcott6504]

I would love to watch more of these videos ❤❤❤

[@phylliswilliamstn]

The music on your videos is perfect. 😊

[@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

[@mamachicken1548]

Love your kitty!😺Funny how our cats like to be right there when we are doing a project. Cardinals are common in winter in America. They look so beautiful against the white snow. I live in Pennsylvania. Most of the birds fly south for winter but the Blue Jays and the Cardinals stay in PA. Love your tiny creations!!

[@FlorenceFrazier2002]

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

[@sandralovegrove2805]

Well done ladies ❤

[@crystalcrannell-moberg3828]

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

[@normagrimstad8869]

I love how you won’t shoo Sunny away. You just cover things until he leaves.

[@KideoTime]

Fantastic miniatures.

[@lolasworldofminis]

That doll! I am head over heels for her. That cardinal! That globe! The tortoise! The brushes & bottles! Daisies! Absolutely love learning from you 2. What kind of glue were you using for these! You are true artists. I aspire to be like you. Also, I have a 30-year-old California desert tortoise who came with the name Stallone. Which part of England are you in?

[@elaineking7004]

Brilliant work ❤

[@lesleybennet4804]

Absolutely adorable love watching your videos making creations ❤
