Beaded Bead Tutorial on YouTube

Beaded Bead Tutorial on YouTube

I have made a video tutorial of my beaded bead.

You can still buy the pdf in my Etsy shop. 😉 It is a very detailed 16 page pdf tutorial. It has illustrations and photos explaining each step for making beaded beads in 5 different sizes, 2 for using 15° and 3 for using 11°.

Although I really tried to make the video…

Modern Minibox

This is the inside of my Modern Minibox right now. I’ve just put my crafting stash in there in a way that I think is good. But of course once I start using it regularly I will probably find a better place for some of the things.

I’ve not opened it completely so that I could fit it all in the picture.

It is not even completely filled up yet. I crammed a lot of yarn in there too but I’m not…

Stash cleaning

These beads are going in the trash unless someone is willing to save them for the cost of shipping. Depending on where you live that would be anywhere between 4 and 15 euro. For example, if you live in Germany it would be 9.80 and if you live in America it would be 15.40

The package weighs almost 700 grams. 

First come, first served.

6 and 3 mm plastic rounds. Fake freshwater pearls. Misc shaped…

The Beaded Week 77

The Beaded Week 77

Are you still here?

December 15 was the last time I posted anything here.

Is blogging still a thing? I mostly come across them via Pinterest myself. Is that how you got here?

It has been a very slow start of the year. We started the kitchen renovation in February and that took 2 months, during which time I was separated from my beads. I managed to get a few beads with me and ordering new ones…

The Beaded Week 76

The Beaded Week 76

I made another macrame owl a while back but forgot to take any pictures of it. I don’t know what to do with these guys, I don’t want to wear them as pendants. For now they are just hanging on my noticeboard, being pretty.

The tutorial is by Happyland87.

Many months ago now I finished this bead crochet necklace. The pattern is from a book by Brigitte Iländer called Beauties.

And this is…

The Beaded Week 75

The Beaded Week 75

I should perhaps think of a better name for this kind of post. It is not weekly anymore and in this case it is not even beaded, it is crocheted.

Anyway…

If you follow me on Instagram you have already seen these projects but here it is:

A crocheted pumpkin. I followed the tutorial of Bella Coco for this one.  My pumpkin is kind of small and I used a variegated yarn but I love how it turned…

X-mas Tree Tutorial

I’ve made another tutorial. It is available on Etsy and YouTube.

You can buy it HERE, or watch the movie HERE.

I’m going to try to be more productive in the new year. I have recently discovered Bullet Journaling and I hope this will help me get s**t done.

Until next time ♥

YouTube Tutorial

I’ve put up 2 beading tutorials on my YouTube channel.

First is the Barrel Bead, it’s a simple beaded bead but I think it is very cute. I’ve also made a pdf for this beaded bead that’s available on Etsy.

And the second video is a tutorial for a Twisted Herringbone stitch.

The Beaded Week 74

The Beaded Week 74

Not really a weekly post anymore is it? Being a mother takes up most of my time now but I try to get a little beading, or other crafting, done while she takes a nap. She is napping right now which allows me to write this little update.

Following the tutorial on Beadshop.com I’ve made these macrame wrap-bracelets. All available in my Etsy shop.

  I also made this bracelet for myself.

  I made a…
