[RTORREZ1000]

[Kai9600]

beautiful pattern you chose also;)

[Kai9600]

what are you sewing the beads to? Is that felt?

[KristenD08]

@Kai9600 hi! no, its called fabric stabilizer, its a bit more stiffer than felt

[robertsbrit]

Your videos are amazing! I'm new to beading and am beginning to practice for my regalia. I was just wondering if you can do some videos for beading Christmas gift ideas; it's great practice for me also.

[bineshi]

Excellent work! I'm trying to remember how to do the fret stitch...been too long since I've done one. You know...the edge beading. Some people call it a zipper stitch? Miigwech! And looking forward to more of your videos!

[Shannonv1]

Love your work! Gorgeous! A tutorial on your mirror earrings would be awesome! =)

[emojki2008]

i dont understand how she attaches the beads to the fabric, in what way she stitches them to it?

[KristenD08]

@emojki2008 its like sewing them in every 4 or 5 beads... message me if you need more explanation

[TheValerie57]

Wow you make it look soooo easy! please keep making the videos.  I like the way you write the directions as you go.

[thunderstorm2221]

How do you finish it? Do u sew it together or put a button clasp?

[XoxOReiHarman]

Thanks SOOO much!! this was extremely helpfull. I was almost gonna give up learning how to bead because i had no one to really show me how or what to do. I think ill try this next week when i get my new fancy shall dress and match the colors (: could you do one on how to bead mocs and leggins?

Im so glad I found your videos. I cant tell you how much I enjoy watching, making something that really means something to me. I will cherish all that I have made because of your kind heart to make videos of Native American jewelry.

[KristenD08]

[jumpinjacksflash]

Thanks Kristen!!! the bracelet is awesume and I enjoyed the video :D, I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos :)

[uskitin]

How do you fasten the bracelet? Did you use snaps or something?

[KristenD08]

@uskitin i used velcro

[MissiVanHorn]

That's beautiful Kristen! You're very thorough, I like that! You inspired me to start with a beading loom, just to get used to handling the beads. However, I cannot show you the finished product yet, because my bracelet fell apart RIGHT AFTER I put the clasp on! I will try again this week. I think I'll like using the fabric stabilizer. Thanks for your hard work in putting these videos together - thank you for your dedication!

[KristenD08]

@MissiVanHorn THANKS!! it makes me happy knowing that people are actually getting something out of these! and its cool seeing their finished outcome :) I'm glad that it inspired you!! kristen

[Sherri119]

@MissiVanHorn I had the same thing happen to me...well, part of my bracelet fell away, not all of it... So I am ready to give the stabilizer a try as well.

[Sherri119]

Wow, you are seriously talented! What size beads did you use? And yes, please, more videos! =)

[KristenD08]

@Sherri119 the middle part is 11 seed beads, and the dark blue is 9 2-cut i think

[Sherri119]

@KristenD08 Thanks for the info. Please keep beading and posting!

[KristenD08]

@Sherri119 I used size 11 seed beads, and size 10, 2 cut beads.. yep! keep a look out for the next one, should be up by the end of this week
