This is my first time learning peyote/bricks stitch ever. I was able to grasp this fairly quick as you are a wonderful teacher who knows how to explain steps really well, in detail and keep repeating the steps the whole way through to reinforce what you’re learning. Thank you!!!!
Thanks so much, Kristina! 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Great use of small amount of leftover chips and/or seed beads, love it
Love how you pick up your beads. It’s just like a kid. I want to try it! Might be easier. 😍
I'm a beading newbie. I love the way you pick up your seed beads! Your tutorials are great. Thank you x
Awww, thank you so much! 💜💜💜
Thank you so much!! I have dozens of strands of chips! Now I know what to finally do with them : )
THANKS FOR YOUR VERY CLEAR AND ARTICULATE TUTORIALS! ♥♥♥♥
Awww, thank you so much!! 💜💜💜
@@ORCHIDandOPAL
No, THANK YOU! I have just discovered your channel but it's very quickly become my go-to for ideas! I never copy anyone else's designs but rather I tweak them to make them more individual. You've given me so many ideas that I might get to use up my gemstone chips by Christmas in 3030 ... LOL! You're doing a fabulous job!
I love the “organic” look, different seeds matches the different shapes and sizes of the chips. I now know what to do with the chips I’ve had for YEEEEARS!!! Thank you, Gina. And I loved the smiley face 😀!
Hi SueEllen! I am so glad that this design spoke to you, and you'll be able to use some of those poor, abandoned chips! ;-) Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks, Gina! You do a great job of teaching and I appreciate all the details.
Hi Elizabeth! I am so glad to hear that. Thanks so much for watching!
Now I know what to do with left over circles. I love this so much. You know what Gina, you have been the channel that I look to for help and ideas. Even though I go visit other sites, you are #1.
Awww, thank you so much!! 💜💜💜
As always Gina you have done a great job! Can’t say it enough, you are so talent and have a very creative mind. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Joselyn! I really appreciate your kind words! It's my pleasure. Thanks for watching!
I made this bracelet and just posted it on Beading Tips and Tutorials. It came out great, I used fluorite bead chips and I love the variation in color. Thank you for another great video!
I am so happy to hear it!! You're very welcome, and so glad it turned out great! 💜
Gorgeous design! And I love that you used what you had on hand, instead of waiting to have all Miyukis or Tohos or something. Thanks so much for sharing!
I am so glad that you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching!
Great bohemian styled, I loved your cluster bracelet, I Made three😏..this one is just as gorgeous.. Can't wait to do it.. Thank you so much for this tutorial.. Stay Blessed..
Hi Sonia! That's so awesome you made three of the cluster bracelets!!! Love that! So glad you are enjoying the tutorials. Have a great day, and thanks so much for watching!
Thank you so much for this video. Yours is one of the first I have been able to follow along and actually see everything you did. Some go to fast but you do a great job for showing beginners. Again thank you!!
Thanks so much, Sue Ann! I am so glad it was easy to follow!
Hi Gina-thank you so much for sharing this bracelet "how to" with us. I thought the face was very cool, and I also like the green colorway--a lot. This also looks like, if you really want a real "funky" version of this bracelet, just gather all your leftovers from other projects and start beading.
Hi Sue! You're very welcome. I am so glad you enjoyed it. There are so many directions you can go with this design - definitely a good "bead soup" bracelet option as well. Thanks for watching!
Hi Gina, Those bracelets are very pretty . I love the way you teach us beginners with different things that you make. Have a good night.
Hi Fran! I am so glad to hear that, and i am glad that you enjoyed this bracelet design. Thanks so much for watching!
Just got around to making one, I did 8 strands, very nice and easy.
Thanks..this brick stitch can be used to many bracelets, with tons of stuff..love it.
Thank you.
Awesome to hear! Thanks for sharing!
So glad I found your tutorials. You are a very good teacher.
You are so sweet, Janet! I am thrilled to have you here! 💜💜💜
I can't tell you how much your brick stitch demo made my day! I tried to start a pattern with seed beads in brick stitch and got so frustrated at the wonky way the foundation row was lying I gave up. I tried tutorials and they all used cylinder beads which lie so nicely it didn't help. I was just sure I was doing it wrong! Now I know that's how it's supposed to be until you get more rows, and maybe reinforce the first row. Wow, you fixed a year-long irritation, now I can make the pattern that stumped me And this one you showed with some of my beloved chips I've been collecting. Thanks a whole bunch!
Hi Bev! ! I'm so happy it helped you with the brick stitch/seed bead frustration, and will give you a new way to play with your gemstone chips. Yay! Thanks so much for letting me know, and for watching!
Again I love the bohemian look to this! I'm going to do it with the chips along with some firepolish and charms!
Hi Kristina! That will look so beautiful with the FP and charms. So many different directions that this idea can be taken in. Thanks so much for watching!
@@ORCHIDandOPAL ..lovely..verrrrryyyyy Beautiful...wow how greatful you encourage your viewers..thank you
I really enjoyed your way of explaining every details. THANK YOU dear .🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰
That's so nice to hear 💜 Thank you very much!!
Perfect for bead soup!
Great introductory tutorial for the brick stitch! I can't wait to try it!
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
I love these bracelets! I’m still a beginner to beading but I have a little practice with the brick stitch. I’m definitely going to try this with the chip beads I have. Thank you!
Yay! Thanks for sharing, Jodi!!
Love the bracelets! ❤️❤️
Thank you, Evonne!
Gina, I really enjoyed watching your tutorial for this bracelet design. I think I will try this, I have some beautiful gemstone chips to design with. Thanks for sharing your designs again. Happy beading!
Hi Mary! It's my pleasure! Glad it was helpful to you, and I appreciate you watching!
I always thought that it was done in beading loom, thank you!!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching, Daniela! 💜
Your videos are so good. I can actually follow them. Some others I watch are too fast for beginners. I like the closeness. And this pattern is gorgeous. Hope to try it soon.
Thank you so much, Jeaneane! It's really important to me to put out tutorials that are very clear, and easy to see close-up. I am so glad you enjoyed!
Love this bracelet and I'm going to give thi one a try. Thank you so much for sharing. 🤗💖
Thank you, Mary! I hope you enjoy it!
Great tutorial! Love the colors
Hi Loyce! I am so glad you enjoyed. Thanks so much for watching!
I came up with a very similar design to this some time ago, but I'm not particularly fond of brick stich, so I used Peyote stitch to create tubes of Miyuki 11/0 Delicas at either end (by doing a flat uneven count peyote section about 8 beads high then rolling it into a tube and 'zipping' together with thread) then I did the same thing you have with the strands of seed beads and Amethyst gemstone chips, but alternating with matching 3mm round Amethyst gemstone beads. Finally I filled each tube with 3 x clear round 3mm crystals (to stop the tubes from going flat) and added one last central strand of seed beads and gem chips/beads, by sewing down through the holes of the clear round crystals, and adding pretty Sterling Silver bead caps to either end of the peyote tubes, and then adding the clasp to the centre strand by going down through the clear round crystals and bead caps, and adding wire guards at either end. I wear it constantly, and have since made a matching necklace in exactly the same same way, and about a dozen of the bracelets in different colours and gemstone chips/beads for gifts..They're fun to make, are a great way to use up all of those gemstone chips in my stash as well as small amounts of seed beads left over from other projects, and I can finish several bracelets in an afternoon. I also make my own gift boxes and gift cards to fit inside each box, all wrapped up in pretty satin ribbons. They're always well received!
This is a lovely design also, it's just wider than the design I came up with. Mine appears to be a bit thicker as the beaded strands are more 'bunched together' due to the use of the peyote tubes at the ends, rather than being spread out with the brick stitch ends.
I just thought I would tell you about my own idea to give your viewers another way to go about a very similar idea should they choose an alternative.
I love your work and always enjoy your tutorials. Thank you!
Omgoodness thank you so much for posting this video. I very much appreciate it. Yipppee your freaking awesome. 🤗
Hi Milesia! Awww, thanks. 🤗 You're very welcome. Thanks so much for watching!
I liked how you did the ends thanks.
Your a great artist!
You are amazing!!! So glad I found your channel!!!! Thank you!!
Awww, thank you so much! I am so glad to have you here! :)
What a clever way to mix seed beads!I I don't think I have as keen an eye for observing the subtle different shades in a gemstone chip.
Thanks so much, Rebecca! I am glad you enjoyed! 💜
What a wonderful creativity..i am admiring..and love to make it..very clear video demo...thanks a lot
I really appreciate you watching! Thank you!! 💜
Hi Gina I did a bracelet like this with just seed beads, never would have thought to try the gemstone chips I love it I have some chips I want to try, Thank you
Hi Carolyn! I am so glad this idea was helpful for you! Definitely give it a try. Thanks so much for watching!
I would love to make this with a 3 or 4 strand matching necklace. Love it!

Thanks, Nikki! 💜
"this is how you're gonna feel when you're done... yay!" (cute!)
LOL :) Thanks for watching, Carla!
I am very, very impressed by your ability in designing jewelry. You are a Master. Also, the fact that in some of your presentations, your talent is very much dependent on materials that have been sent to you, and not on what you have purposely chosen and purchased yourself, places you still yet another step higher in your capability to design gorgeous pieces. If your work was showcased in a much more public oriented manner, I honestly believe you could be the next Kendra Scott. I’ve seen a lot of pretty jewelry designed by ppl here on RUclips & on Etsy, etc., but you are head and shoulders above them all. Your pieces are unique and current and timeless, all at the same time. I only just found you, but I’ve been watching several of your videos and, again, I’m very impressed. I think I will be ordering from your website very soon. From a new fan in Texas.✨💖✨
Hi Liz! I cannot thank you enough for all of your kind words; you have me blushing right now, and I am just so grateful that you think so much of me as a designer! This is certainly a huge passion of mine, and I am so glad that shows through my videos. Even only a year ago, I would not have believed it if someone told me that I would be creating content for RUclips. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be able to share my work, and love for beading/jewelry with amazing people, such as yourself, who can relate. Thank you for watching my videos, your comments, your support - I can't tell you how much it means to me to have you here. 💜💜💜

I never thought I would enjoy working with seed beads. I like bigger beads with a faster payback :-) but this looks like a project I would enjoy. I have done a little bit of bead weaving and now have a bead spinner so that is helping with my seed bead projects.
I love that you're willing to give it a try! 💜💜💜 Thanks for watching!
Whoever it was that you purchased the gemstone chips from needs to sponsor you. I have always loved how gemstone chips look, bought them, and then wound up doing a simple string ugly bracelet or necklace that I hated. I think I will love following this pattern and know I will love the look.
Thank you so much for your comment! I know they're not easy, and that's why it's so fun for me to keep sharing projects with them. They're challenging little things. Hope you have a great day! 💜
Thanks!
THANK YOU so much, Victoria!! 💜💜💜
I will be following you, your jewelry is sharp. I got a lot out of your designs.
Hi Janelen! I'm so happy to have you, and thank you for your kind words! Thanks for watching!
Back again, trying to get the 2nd row started.
Sweet! Thank you for sharing this I have been trying to figure out what I was going to do with my chipped stones yea! I bet a pair of earrings would look good! Maybe do a set to match this one with ur left overs ❣️😁
I am so glad it could help, Carol! Earrings would be really cool too. Thanks for watching! 💜
Orchid and Opal Jewelry & Beads have you done a video for earrings? I’m a newbie so I watch a lot of videos 😁💖 if you do I’d love a share of it
@@carolgiamonicopelan9321 I haven't had time, unfortunately. I am getting ready to sell my house and move, but there will be lots more videos in the future, so keep following along. :)
Thank you for this video.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
♥️
Gonna make one for sure. Maybe use fire polish beads as accents.
Hi Melissa! That would be gorgeous as well. There are so many directions you can go with this design. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so very much...............................
💜💜💜
Absolutely LOVE this bracelet. Thank you for sending me the link. Is there a reason why you don’t do a row of ladder stitch between the brick stitch triangle and the strands as in fringe earrings or is it just not necessary?
You’re welcome, Annette! It’s just not necessary, but you certainly could! :)
Hi Gina, you instructions are so easy to understand, thank you. Has anyone made this bracelet into a necklace? Would each strand have to be a different length so that it would hang properly? Just love this bracelet but would really like a matching necklace.
Thanks so much, Danielle! Not yet - I just posted the bracelet tutorial, so I haven't heard of anyone taking this design a step further, but I think that's an awesome idea! If I try it I will share! 💜
Thank you and looking forward to the necklace tutorial? hint...hint? lol
Such a great design! I think I’m starting to understand the difference in the stitches. Was the first row done in square stitch? Is square stitch the same thing as ladder stitch? And brick stitch uses the thread bridge between the beads, is that correct? Lol, just when I think I’m getting the hang of it, I get myself mixed up!!
I also wanted to tell you that I love your nail polish and wondered if you tried any of the tricks we talked about.
Thank you for sharing this design!! 💜💕💜
Hi Sharon! You're getting there! :) The first row was ladder stitch, but I didn't want to throw another name into it, and confuse any newbies further. Brick stitch (with the beads woven onto the thread bridge) often starts with a ladder stitch row as the base.
I went back to an acrylic dip powder system that I've used before (months ago), just to do something different. They have been staying on a lot longer, and are really strong. I just don't like all of the sanding/shaping on the front end of it, but it's a nice change!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed this design!
@@ORCHIDandOPAL me enjoyed...love your creativity
Hehehehehe, it looks like a face for a pumpkin. So so cute. Sometimes, I make faces with left over food on my plate.
💜😊
I’m interested in joining the ten tier. Terms of use confuses me as to amount that is taken out. Is it just the ten dollars
Hi Jeaneane! First of all, THANK YOU so much! Yes, from what I understand, the way it works is they take the $10 at your time of joining, then $10 (or whatever amount you decide) once monthly going forward. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I appreciate it! :)
Well done Gina.
Just so you know, the stitch that you use to begin your brick stitch is called a "ladder stitch". Semantics I know, so I'm not criticizing, just thought I'd let you know. 😊
All my best to you and yours as always!
You're absolutely right! It is ladder stitch to start. I wasn't sure if I should throw another name into the beading pattern, so as not to confuse newbies since I was trying to demonstrate brick stitch. Interesting that brick stitch is often started with that as the base. Thanks for watching!! :)
Where do you get the triangle trays?
Hi there! You can purchase them from many online bead stores, and also Amazon: amzn.to/3dQUZHG - Aluminum triangle sorting trays 💜
Can you do this with bead wire
Hi April, you wouldn't be able to do the brick stitching with beading wire, unfortunately
At this rate it will be 2020 and I will just have started my second row
lol
Yes, me too! I will probably use the metal pieces that connect several rows together when I do it! These are adorable though!
Hot dog! First row complete!
Yay! Keep it up, Cheryl! 💜
