  • Very Very pretty!! it almost looks like a bonsi tree, and i was wondering where you got the little cups and candle holders from.

  • @NeonFlowers12 The cups were part of a cup and saucer set (the saucers are now being used as drawer pulls) - both from the clearance section at Ross.

  • i love the beads you use & i was wondering where you find them?

    And are they expensive?

  • @eunhae26 I have found them at bead shows for about $2-$3/strand (approx. 16 inches). At craft stores they may have them, but when I've seen them they have been more expensive, like $3-$4 for a 8 inch strand.

  • Answering a channel comment question, but others might also wonder: I didn't mention it in the video, but the nugget beads I used ranged in size from 10x10mm to about 10x20mm.

  • How long does it take to make one tree? I am thinking of making a few of them for christmas gifts this year. (I know its still a way off, but I like to be prepared, I have like 4 different houses to be at each year.)

  • So glad I found this video, this will be my next project!

  • Thank you for taking the mystery out of this!! =)

  • wow it's pretty)) much time I looking for something like this ;DD

  • Just for your guys' information..........You do not have to cut the wire into strips. I will upload a video soon to show you another way. I find it easier but you may not. I also use 24 gauge wire it works the same.

  • Im going to try it but using opal instead only problem is that the opal wont have holes hence i will not be able to thread them on to the wire will have to hot glue at the end of the wire ....great video....your a nice girl :)

  • Love it. Great instructions :)

  • wow that's so beautiful, I wanna try it!

  • Wow, wot an excellent tutorial, looks like addictivie, lol. Tthank you sooo much for sharing

  • Nice work, thanks for the explanation!
