oh my god, I love everything about this. The soft music in the background, your absolutly adorable laughter, the care with which you create stuff, you just seems like such a lovely human being. I've been sick the past couple of days, and just been going through a couple of your videos, and it's just so soothing. I adore the way you live your life, honestly

[@backtoearthcreations]

wow, thank you Araya!! I hope you are feeling better :) Thank you so much for your kindness; I hope you continue to enjoy my videos!!

[@mercyrn35]

Mae Maybe I was going to say the same. There are so many soothing elements to Yvonne’s content! I am so glad I found her.

[@anneheron5712]

I've been making trees, with and without beads, for a few months and I've watched loads of tuts. I've still learned from this tutorial! I've even watched others of yours 😊 I love your work, and really love that you share your knowledge 🙏❤️

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thank you so much for watching! I'm so glad to be helpful to you!

[@sandrathomas2079]

You are accomplishing a great deal at once. It will be challenging, but it will pay off when you're done. Be proud of yourself and always ask God for guidance. Best wishes in all you do. Love your videos.❤

[@backtoearthcreations]

Beautiful work Von, I love the non beaded Tree of life and its a great clean tutorial for learning the basics of weaving, Im working on 2 trees with and without beads,Thank you for a great video an step by step teaching.

[@renagodfrey2138]

I have made many trees, and I love to see someone else's take on them. Beautiful work!

[@naudiaangelica6925]

I just came across this because I'm working on a tree of life crescent wreath.. Tandy leather in Springfield?? Wait a minute.. Where are you? I'm in Springfield, OR.. That wouldn't be the Springfield that you're talking about??

[@geminidream4347]

Thank you for not fast forwarding because you are right, for us newbies, it's better this way. Great tutorial in step by step instruction, I love this. Thank you for a great project as I love these pendants.

[@oddity4all2see]

Hey. Thanks so much for posting these. I'm unable to work a conventional job due to poor health. I've always wanted to make jewelry but didn't know how. I've learned a LOT from you and yr getting me closer to a sustainable life. Thank you a MILLION times over

[@sherreaaddicks3283]

This was very enjoyable to watch. I usually use chips on my branches I’m going to try this. Thank you for sharing. Love your little giggle

[@tiaratwins6559]

Thanks for the bare branches tree, Von. It will be this weekend's project.

[@backtoearthcreations]

:-D

[@agoss0531]

I sat down to watch one of your videos like two hours earlier and I have not been able to stop watching all your videos. Would love to see you do a video with a tree on a rock with leaves. And what beads you would use. Thanks so much.

[@backtoearthcreations]

Heya! I am working on a video of how I make 3d trees like how you have described; I typically use chip beads in a variety of gemstone types because I like the variation is shape, size, and color :) Thank you for watching my videos, and I hope you continue to enjoy!

[@freebox1248]

After 50 watches and now in love with your laughter. I have managed to make a tree like thing. Would look great on the sleepy hollow set. Love from Europe keep them coming 😊

[@tammisandoval8351]

WOW I can't get enough!! You are amazing, I'm so eager to learn. I've watched many tutorials and yours above all are amazing, I am a beginner and you are so easy to follow. Thank you for sharing. Your an awesome teacher. I'm going to make this next my first time attempting it. Keep the tutorials coming. Thank you your truly gifted. Tammi

[@sandrathomas2079]

You could use it to make a beautiful sun catcher.

[@backtoearthcreations]

Right on!

[@lynnperez1363]

I loved this video. Actually, I love all your videos. You have the greatest personality, and the cutest little laugh.💕

[@kathyrodgers1062]

How many times has your wire broke?

[@backtoearthcreations]

I've lost count! It happens, and that is ok! I roll with it, remove it, or splice more in. It depends on the project. Keep at it and it'll become easier!

[@mawi1172]

It worked. Five years later and its just as relevant. I want to make a tree! ✌️✌️✌️✌️👍👍👍👍

[@kathygreen5107]

Yvonne, I just finished watching this video on how to make a Leafless Tree Pendant!! I really enjoyed the fact that you did all the steps in the video. Sometimes little steps that get left out make the difference in the finished product. I have designed and handcrafted jewelry for years but have just started making Tree of Life Pedants. You have inspired me to take what I have learned and made so far and push myself into venturing out my comfort space. I will be checking out KZbin for other videos you have made. Thank you!!!

[@backtoearthcreations]

Right on! I'm so glad to be helpful to you, Kathy!

[@vickiecarley5153]

Thanks I just started watching & at 72 learning so much, I thought about myself when I became disabled. I can't believe how much I did right and wrong. Need to find low cost supplies and tools. Live on less than 500.00 a month Thank you. Ms Vickie

[@karentate65]

This is really pretty you are indeed talented, than you for sharing.

[@backtoearthcreations]

thank you, Sugar, it is my pleasure to share! :)

[@elenadominic8108]

Great tutorial, great Tree, thank you for sharing, I love this tutorial, excellent!!

[@backtoearthcreations]

yay! thank you, Elena! I am glad you like it :)

[@debjanibhowmick5870]

I am just learning and true , it does helps the mind not to have any negative thoughts! Sort of calming effect . Thanks.

[@backtoearthcreations]

To be learning is a lovely state of being! Thank you for watching :)

[@cherylharris5695]

My first tree of life was leafless then i started to embellish them and I'm inspired to create more

[@micahingram8918]

I love how simple you explain how to make it. You are amazing at this. Thanks

[@kyleegullikson2050]

thank you so much for this tutorial you make it so easy!!!

[@annagibbs2142]

I have always wanted to make my own tree of life pendant. thank you so much. I find watching your tutorials so refreshing and fun, your such a bubbly young lady which makes it more enjoyable to watch and you also make them look so easy..you do some amazing work... Thank you again and never change :-) thanks from Oz

[@backtoearthcreations]

hehe, heya Anna! Thank you for your kindness!

[@michelerichards7477]

Your tree making seems so easy but it's a lot of work. Thanks for sharing your videos, even though your hands are full with so many things to do now. Keep it up please. Love the small talk also. Blessings!

[@backtoearthcreations]

hehe, thanks Michele!

[@patriciaumbarger4982]

I absolutely love all your videos! It's not just your artistic abilities .. but your authentic kindness and gentle soul that inspires me. You talked about learning more about yoga and wanting to loose some weight. You are completely beautiful!!! You don't need to shed a single ounce. Thanks for bringing so much joy!

[@mysticmala4377]

Thank you for this great tutorial. Love it.

[@MHarenArt]

Just now seeing this video, loved it! But was wondering how all that worked out for you? All the classes, etc. Sounded to me like you bit off more than you could chew??? I would love to take a yoga class with you instructing. Your voice is so soothing and perfect for yoga instruction.

[@jameswitte5167]

just had a thought ... I wonder what it would look like if you did this tree over a piece of amber ??? since amber is petrified tree sap and adds the color to the piece so you don't necessarily need leaves ...

[@backtoearthcreations]

hmmmm..... ;) I think I will have to try that out!

[@PomegranateStaindGrn]

I wrapped a "leafless" ToL on a 25 mm cab w/o a bail...because I dislike myself so much lol. It turned out pretty well but my fingers dislike me a great deal now 😆 Sorry, I was just browsing through some of your older videos after I re-found your tut on maille bezel. I’ve watched it at least five times now but will soon have to do the actual project lol. Thank you for being such an amazing teacher and inspiration 💖

[@TrappingWithJinx]

Cool videos, found you from trapperj.. keep up the good work, 🤝💙.

[@dkguthrie54]

Sweet Yvonne, how blessed I am to have come across your tutorial, from 4 yrs ago no less. I have a collection of photos of these forms, lots of inspiration, but had never seen anyone start one, it was so helpful, thank you so much. I've had my site's set on doing a family tree for my sister with Birthstone colors for all 23 of them in her precious family, it will not be a 2 incher, but I may start a small one first, for tweaking techniques. I hope the studies you spoke of, during the tutorial, has taken you into some very intriguing directions in your life. I sincerely wish you the very best. Again, thank you dear. ✌🏻💗 🙂

[@darcymumaw931]

Borrowing this idea for my wedding!!! We are getting married at the local Renaissance Faire. We started our own guild last year using a similarly designed tree, hand painted on our banner back then. My fiancé & I are designing & making all the jewelry for our wedding parties & this will absolutely tie our group together perfectly!!! Thanks for showing this video!!! I absolutely LOVE watching all your videos!

[@backtoearthcreations]

Wow! Congratulations! I'd love to see how your pieces come out!

[@darcymumaw931]

Yvonne Williams I absolutely will send u pictures!

[@GigiFlies]

Gorgeous! "Wrapped twinks?" ... with the short bits you've cut off??

[@debbiegoble9836]

[@Virgi107]

If you don't have one of those special hammers could you use a small hammer and a cloth over the metal to flatten it ?

[@jaelcleveland4948]

I have used two cheap nylon chopping boards and put the part that I wanted to harden between the two and then tapped the boards with a hammer, just hang the bail outside, put round circle in between, tap gently, check, tap, check etc

[@ellenlanham10]

So awesome. Thank you Yvonne❤️
