Thank you so much for the video, I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers 🙏 to you. I just lost my mom on Monday and we buried her yesterday and I heard about rosary made with flowers from memorial and I thought it was going to be defiicult to make but by watching this video you make it sound so simple. I just ordered the supplies. Wish me luck. Thank you thank you 😊 🙏
I watch your videos all the time. Came across this while looking for a way to save flowers from my precious mother-in-loves funeral just two days ago. I lost my mom in 1999 and what an empty place it leaves in our hearts. My mother in love was precious. My husband and I have been married for 30 years so she is like Mom to me and my heart hurts so much. Wanted to say thank you for this video and say I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing Momma never leaves us. Big hugs to you.
I know the pain you were going through during this time. Its been 20 years since I lost my Daddy. And almost 2 years since I lost my Grandma and less than a year since my brother passed. I still have some flowers from my Grandma and brothers funeral and I will definitely be making these beads with them! Thank you for sharing this!
This is by far the most amazing idea for a permanent memorial piece I've ever seen! Thank you so much for making this tutorial and I'm so so sorry for your loss...
thank you so much for this video! I just lost my Dad very unexpectedly 2 weeks ago yesterday. I have all the flowers from his funeral and I wanted to find smething I could do with them and this is absolutely perfect! I will be doing this and making bracelets for my Mom, Sister and my self. Thank you so very much and I'm so sorry for your loss! it truly is the hardest thing I have ever gone through and people keep telling me it will get easier, but I don't see how. I miss him every second of every day and I always will.
Wendy Howard- hello Wendy.... it gives me a very heavy heart to hear about your loss! I am so sorry 😔 it's been a year and a half since I lost my mom and there is not a single day that goes by that I don't think of her and miss her terribly!!! I do know how u feel.... it does get easier as time goes on but the missing her never goes away!!! The urge to pick up the phone and call her is still there for me! Thank you for your message you will be in my thoughts! I'll tell u when my mom passed it bothered me so much when people would tell me she was in a better place now because in my eyes there is no better place then being here with me and her grand children, I know with all my heart people meant well but that was the one thing I didn't much like to hear and to this day I still don't like to hear it! I do now believe that my mom is still here with me just in a different way! Hugs to u
So sorry for the loss of your mom. She is still with you. You did a good job and helped people feel closer to loved ones that have passed by making these beads. She is watching from above.
Kelly, don't apoligize for grieving, my dad's been gone 10 years this past Jan. and I still grieve for him. When I do my dried roses, I spray them first with Aqua Net Super hold hair spray, then hang them. After they are dried, I give them a couple of coats of clear spray. @3:51, what a beautiful arrangement, your mother was beautiful. Are you saying "Swamp Cooler"? And what is it? omgosh, I love this. I do alot of beading projects and now, you've just shown me how to make my own, it'll save me alot of money too. You are amazing.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I know how hard this was for me when my mom died a few years ago. 4 weeks ago my daughter died and someone told me about a relative she has that makes memorial flower jewelry. If I had seen your video I would have kept all of the beautiful flowers and made bracelets for my children. Your way of making the beds is much easier than other videos I have seen. Your video makes me think I can do this! I will try this with some flowers. Thank you.
Kelly, I love the memorial beads you made! Love that whole concept, great idea! So sorry about your mother. The photos you showed of your mother at the end of your video (wax dipping memorial flowers), were sweet. I'm sorry for your loss. You can see that you and your mother were close. So the beads are a wonderful way to have her near! God bless.
God bless you Kelly! My mother passed away when I was 44 years old, almost 7 years ago. I was, and still am, too young to be without my mother. I just pray I can find my mom's flowers unharmed after moving, so I can make beads with the flowers too. Thank you for sharing.Loretta
wow Kelly they are great beads. I love making jewellery with beads and have done for years. You have giving me a great idea. Instead of using flowers I can use my step sons ashes. We were all thinking how we all could have some, so he could be with all the family. He wanted to travel but was taken to soon for him to do this. This way Lee can travel all over and be with family at the same time.. I am sorry for your loss and the pain you have right now. Time does heal, you never forget and it still hurts but it will get easier. I lost my mother in law a year back, on your independents day 4th July. She was like my mother not just an in law. Her birthday and hubby's is 20th May. And lost my step son 3 years ago. On your first video, at the end you had a song playing. Please tell me what it is called and who it is by. I really loved it. Wishing you all the best. Trina
Bless your heart! I had never heard of this. You've inspired me! I have dried flowers from my father's, both grandmothers, and my husband's services. They're in a vase. I look fwd to wearing them on my arm and around my neck. Thank you so much! God bless.
I just happened to come across your video and I see that this was last year. In your voice there was so much sadness it just really touched my heart. Both my parents are gone and I know how I felt with that loss, I can only imagine how you feel. I pray you are stronger and I just appreciate the strength you showed in making this video in sharing this very personal and yet great idea in honoring your mom and blessing your brother with a gift as well. I'm exciting about watching this video (it's playing in the background as I send this note) I just wanted to say I'm sorry for your loss and I know how hard it is especially the first year facing each day, holiday etc without your loved one. You are in my prayers and again thank you.
First I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my Mom September 2015. It was extremely hard to say goodbye. I wish I had seen this video then. I think this is a beautiful idea and such a special way to honor you loved one. I would love to see the Rosary you made for your brother. I am certain he loved it! Thank you for sharing this video. I know it’s been 3 years, but I am just now seeing this video and wanted to let you know I am thinking of you and praying for you.
Just came upon your video. First of all, sorry for your loss...Mom may be physically gone, but she is always with you! Your video class was very interesting. I suggest that after you have mixed your clay...then just make a long roll/string and then cut it to similar sizes and then roll them into beads. Great work! Hugs.
So sorry for the loss of your Mom. I can hear/know how much she meant to you and how much you miss her. I lost my Dad July 2014 and know that the hole in your heart never can get filled...I know, I tried to fill it with many things and God is the only thing that helped me to cope. Love your video and the memorial beads...I've saved the rose petals from my Dad's funeral, drying them as you have, and am just now wanting to do something with them. I'm going to make a rosary out of the petals. God bless you and keep on sharing your talents. Your Mom, I'm sure, is very proud of you.
Thank you so much for your kind words... I needed to hear them today, it's been a year today that she's been gone😞 a bit sad today! Hugs to you and I to am so sorry for the loss of your dad! I wouldn't wish this pain/sadness on anyone!!! This last year has been me learning a new normal 😞 be well and hugs to you!
Darlene Eschete I lost my Dad to cancer in 2008 I miss him so much. I don't have any of his funeral flowers but when I got back home I planted a climbing rose and a pot full of orange Lily's so I'll use them to make some beads, I know my Mum would love a bracelette made of these flowers as we put Dads ashes in with them a couple of years ago, so they are both special. Xx
I just lost my husband to cancer July 9th 2018 I’m going to make bracelets for my grandchildren as well as my four children. Thank you so much for sharing! This by far is the worst thing I’ve ever had to go through. God bless you.
I wish I had seen this video when my brother and sisters passed away!! I have no siblings or parents left so I hope and pray it is a long time before i ever need them for memorial reasons but a wedding or anniversary flowers would be awesome
Even if the flowers aren't significant, this is a great idea. You could use dried lavender buds in the clay and it would be beautiful. You can also take lava beads or cork beads and put a bit of essential oil on them. I would maybe separate those from the handmade beads with metal or glass. It could be a cute idea.
I was raised by my Gram and my Dad. She passed Nov 20th from complications from multi strokes that the nursing home told use "shes being stubborn and not talking" After finally being sent to the hospital they discovered she'd had multiple strokes😭She was my light and her very last word was "MOON". My entire life she'd say when you're sad and miss me just look at the moon my Jessi-Lee bc I'll be looking at that same moon missing you too" Then all these years later she'd still say that to me. I look at the moon every night and talk to her.
Awwhhh, Kelly, my heart goes out to you..I saw the shine in the beads to at the beginning and I too thought you used glitter...It was in the clay before baking...Anyway, I love this idea. I love the Rosary idea, as my hsb's family is Catholic and what a wonderful gift with a beautiful meaning behind it..IT is now Aug 2016 and I hope your grief is healing.. I don't ever think we get "over" something as horrible as losing our loved ones, but I do think with time we learn to live with it and the great memories, well, no one can ever take those away...I lost my dad when he had just turned 48 and then we had two kids in our family die unexpectedly. That yr was the yr I thought I had lost everything...that was 32 yrs ago..I miss my dad, every single day and my niece and nephew the same, but I will see them again and the next time it will be FOREVER never to part again..and I hold onto God's words about that...Bless you and your family, Kelly.. I could hear your little voice shaking..I really pray your doing better. Your mom wouldn't want you to cry, but as humans we do, but I am close to 60 now, seen a lot of grief in my life...but my faith is strong..THAT is what has gotten me thru the hard times...I will be praying for you..
I was watching your video on drying flowers & came to check this out. Never heard of making beads with flowers, very intriguing. Thank you for sharing.
I love them. They came out absolutely beautiful. What a beautiful gift, taking beautiful flowers and incorporating them in the color clay or white clay. Really look beautiful. What a labor of love that is truly beautiful. I'm sorry I just saw this video and it's over a year old. I hope you have found perfect peace. ❤❤xoxo....
Thanks so much for posting this, my mom passed 3 weeks ago and I will definitely be making these with her funeral flowers. And I'm sorry for your loss, it's NOT EASY when a parent dies especially a same sex parent. So my hear goes out to you, I know how hard this was to do for you.
Just watched this video and the preserving flowers in wax video. First let me say how sorry I am for the loss of your mother. I just lost my Mom in March and then my Dad in May. I could hear the pain in your voice, and I know exactly how that feels. I dried lots of flowers from both funerals and look forward to making these beads in the coming weeks. Thank you for sharing this. I had never heard of it before. Love your videos!
I am so sorry to hear that you just recently lost both your parents, I honestly can't imagine the pain your going through, hearing that gave me a heavy heart!!! Hugs to you...
I just came across your video and I see that it has been on here awhile, but what an interesting way to honor the loss of a loved one. I am sorry for you about the loss of your mother. It has been ten years since my Dad passed away and seven since my mother passed away and I understand your pain.
I'm facing losing my mom soon and was looking for ideas on what to do with the flowers we will have at her service. Thank you for your video. I'm so sorry for your loss.
With the bouquets of dried flowers, you could add small items she had, a hankie, a broach, etc., whatever you like, maybe add some pretty lace with it, and place the items with the flowers in a window box type frame, and they should last indefinitely.
So sorry for your loss, I too have lost both of my parents it does get easier.so what. I did dry some of the flowers and will be making some beads,thank you for the idea...again so sorry for your loss.
I've just been going through some of your old videos and ran across this one and I know it's been a while now but I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom I know the hole in your heart is surely still there but I want to say thank you for this video because I lost my daughter in 2011 and if I had known then I would definitely done this with. some of the flowers from her service but what I think I will do because of your inspiration is get a flower that she really liked and make beads out of it so thank you once again...hugs
Jen leubner thank you so much it's been 2 years today and I still miss her terribly.... I am so so sorry for your loss as well I honestly can't imagine what it feels like to lose a child!!! Hugs to you! I think your idea is a beautiful idea ... thank you for sharing!
I know your pain hon, I'm so sorry you're hurting. It's been 2 years since both my mom & dad passed just 2 months apart. 💔 Cyber hugs. My thoughts & prayers go out to you! Also I LOVE this idea! Now I want to make some of my own. Thank you!
I wish i had known how to do this when my parents passed away but at least i have my memories but it still would have been nice. I'm so sorry for your loss. 💗
Sorry for you loss. I lost both patents. It is hard getting over. Especially during birthdays. This time there is a royal wedding to take my mind of things. I am gonna hold on to this video for later. I threw away the flowers I had. Now I have to wait until I get some more.
When you put the oil on the clay put it on wax paper and fold the paper over so the clay is covered and roll it with a rolling pin... Also, a pasta machine works well.
Kelly Barlow Creations putting it through a pasta machine is the best thing to do, try not to add oil as later on the oil might bleed out of them. When I'm making beads or anything with polymer clay I work it between my palms while the rest of what I'm going to use I either sit on or put under my legs. The heat of your body is the best thing to use. I have had my family tuck a pack of clay here and there while they watch tv and I craft. Xxxx
Fimo is very easy to work with if you do research about it. :) You have to warm it up in your hands so the clay will soften your fingers won't hurt. You can make it super soft just by using the warmth of your hands and even smudge it.
So amazing and beautiful. So sry about the loss of your mother. Much love sent your way. Have you did a update on the wax dipped flowers? How did they hold up?
What a beautiful idea Kelly. I'm sorry for your loss. Would you be able to spraythen with a clear coat spray paint to make them glossy looking? Many blessings to you and your family.💜🙏
Kelly, thank you for sharing this. I'm so sorry for your loss. My 38 year old daughter passed away and I was looking for something special and I think this is what I want to do. Did you do another video on how to make the bracelet? Thanks.
So sorry for your loss. I watched the first video but could find the video where you put the bracelet together can you please let me know where it is at? Thank you!
I have some dried rose's from My anniversary in January and I am trying to decide if I want to try doing that is making some beds with them with the white Clay but I'm not sure if is something that I want to make something else with like a Cross if I can make it but the beads seem really easy to do even though you have to work with the clay a good bit
How did you dry them out? Did you use paraffin wax? I heard you can freeze them and spary a clear acrylic spray on them first. To preserve the way they look right then. Then hang upside down like you did....
here's a recent video I did on how I dry out my flowers ruclips.net/video/vNeIZrhhK90/видео.html and here's a project i just did using my dried flowers ruclips.net/video/TWU3Gj3ywiM/видео.html
this is a wonderful way to keep your Mom close to you these are turning out beautiful. Question how long do you bake them ? or am I asking to so . Color is perfect.
Hi there. My Dad passed away 2 weeks ago. I would like to make a bracelet for myself, 2 sisters, 2 sisters-in-law and my Mom. Can you post the link to finishing the bracelet? I don't see it here. Thank you,
the clay that you already work and you put into a bag if you let it sit does it become harder and you have to rework it? this is a really great idea and I absolutely thinking about making some of these beads myself inspired by your video 4 gifts. sorry just wondering if it becomes you know back to being stiff and you have to rework it each and every time you're working with it or does it stay somewhat saw and you only have to work it a little bit to make the beads. again thank you for the inspiration I'm glad I stumbled upon this video but I am very very sorry for your loss I know that it's been over a year but I know it never gets easier. if you wouldn't mind letting me know that would be wonderful thank you so much
rachael libero yes, but it will be easier to re-condition the clay the second time, because the oils from your hand will have soaked into the clay already.
It's easy to condition clay if you know how to. Just roll and warm it in your hands. If it's crumbling alot, and a *tiny* bit of baby oil, or coconut oil, or any oil. Don't microwave it, it will melt the inside, and just heat it up. It will smoke, and that's just nit very good xD. So, just warm it up and add a bit of oil when necessary
Thank you so much for the video, I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers 🙏 to you. I just lost my mom on Monday and we buried her yesterday and I heard about rosary made with flowers from memorial and I thought it was going to be defiicult to make but by watching this video you make it sound so simple. I just ordered the supplies. Wish me luck.
Thank you thank you 😊 🙏
Hello Kelly. I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
I watch your videos all the time. Came across this while looking for a way to save flowers from my precious mother-in-loves funeral just two days ago.
I lost my mom in 1999 and what an empty place it leaves in our hearts. My mother in love was precious. My husband and I have been married for 30 years so she is like Mom to me and my heart hurts so much.
Wanted to say thank you for this video and say I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing Momma never leaves us. Big hugs to you.
Aww, sweet friend, you probably won't see this but, what a beautiful way to honor your mother-in-love! This is so special in so many ways 💗
I know the pain you were going through during this time. Its been 20 years since I lost my Daddy. And almost 2 years since I lost my Grandma and less than a year since my brother passed. I still have some flowers from my Grandma and brothers funeral and I will definitely be making these beads with them! Thank you for sharing this!
This is by far the most amazing idea for a permanent memorial piece I've ever seen! Thank you so much for making this tutorial and I'm so so sorry for your loss...
thank you so much for this video! I just lost my Dad very unexpectedly 2 weeks ago yesterday.

I am sorry for your loss and the pain you have right now. Time does heal, you never forget and it still hurts but it will get easier. I lost my mother in law a year back, on your independents day 4th July. She was like my mother not just an in law. Her birthday and hubby's is 20th May. And lost my step son 3 years ago.
On your first video, at the end you had a song playing. Please tell me what it is called and who it is by. I really loved it. Wishing you all the best. Trina

My momma just passed and I’m gonna do this! Thank you
they are absolutely gorgeous! thank you so much. So sorry for your loss.
So sorry for the loss of your Mom. I can hear/know how much she meant to you and how much you miss her. I lost my Dad July 2014 and know that the hole in your heart never can get filled...I know, I tried to fill it with many things and God is the only thing that helped me to cope.

I am so so sorry for your loss! Hugs to you- Kelly
I am so very sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us.
I’m just watching this now today for the first time. I want you to know I said a prayer for you and your mom
This is such an awesome idea and thank you for sharing, Kelly. 💙🤍💙🤍💙
I wish I had seen this video when my brother and sisters passed away!! I have no siblings or parents left so I hope and pray it is a long time before i ever need them for memorial reasons but a wedding or anniversary flowers would be awesome
I just lost my dad and we got tonsss of flowers thank you for the video and I'm sorry for your loss
Love, love this idea. You could also add some of the beads to an arrangement placed in the window box frame. What a great memorial of your Mom.
I am so sorry, I understand, my mom has been gone since 2004,,she wad 56,, your mom really is INSIDE your heart!!
Even if the flowers aren't significant, this is a great idea. You could use dried lavender buds in the clay and it would be beautiful. You can also take lava beads or cork beads and put a bit of essential oil on them. I would maybe separate those from the handmade beads with metal or glass. It could be a cute idea.

Kelly I loved this idea.... Omg I am sorry to hear about your mom 💔😢. But you have inspired me to make a rosary out of polymer clay
Thanks so much for posting this, my mom passed 3 weeks ago and I will definitely be making these with her funeral flowers. And I'm sorry for your loss, it's NOT EASY when a parent dies especially a same sex parent. So my hear goes out to you, I know how hard this was to do for you.
Just watched this video and the preserving flowers in wax video. First let me say how sorry I am for the loss of your mother. I just lost my Mom in March and then my Dad in May. I could hear the pain in your voice, and I know exactly how that feels. I dried lots of flowers from both funerals and look forward to making these beads in the coming weeks. Thank you for sharing this. I had never heard of it before. Love your videos!
I am so sorry to hear that you just recently lost both your parents, I honestly can't imagine the pain your going through, hearing that gave me a heavy heart!!! Hugs to you...
I'm soooo happy that they turned out the BEST, God loves you sincerely, I love you too!
I just came across your video and I see that it has been on here awhile, but what an interesting way to honor the loss of a loved one. I am sorry for you about the loss of your mother. It has been ten years since my Dad passed away and seven since my mother passed away and I understand your pain.
I'm facing losing my mom soon and was looking for ideas on what to do with the flowers we will have at her service. Thank you for your video. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I love this idea, thank you for sharing this video! And I'm so sorry for your loss 🙏🏾 for u and your family.
With the bouquets of dried flowers, you could add small items she had, a hankie, a broach, etc., whatever you like, maybe add some pretty lace with it, and place the items with the flowers in a window box type frame, and they should last indefinitely.
So sorry for your loss, I too have lost both of my parents it does get easier.so what. I did dry some of the flowers and will be making some beads,thank you for the idea...again so sorry for your loss.
I've just been going through some of your old videos and ran across this one and I know it's been a while now but I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom I know the hole in your heart is surely still there but I want to say thank you for this video because I lost my daughter in 2011 and if I had known then I would definitely done this with. some of the flowers from her service but what I think I will do because of your inspiration is get a flower that she really liked and make beads out of it so thank you once again...hugs
Jen leubner thank you so much it's been 2 years today and I still miss her terribly.... I am so so sorry for your loss as well I honestly can't imagine what it feels like to lose a child!!! Hugs to you! I think your idea is a beautiful idea ... thank you for sharing!
I know your pain hon, I'm so sorry you're hurting. It's been 2 years since both my mom & dad passed just 2 months apart. 💔 Cyber hugs. My thoughts & prayers go out to you!
Also I LOVE this idea! Now I want to make some of my own. Thank you!
What an amazing idea of how to really keep a piece of a person or special occasion with you! I have never ever heard if this before. It is so cool!
I'm so sorry for your loss. I do understand.
I agree with everything you said in the beginning I too kept busy and it hit me when I was alone.. thank you for sharing
I wish i had known how to do this when my parents passed away but at least i have my memories but it still would have been nice. I'm so sorry for your loss. 💗
blessings to you and your loved ones.
Sorry for you loss. I lost both patents. It is hard getting over. Especially during birthdays. This time there is a royal wedding to take my mind of things. I am gonna hold on to this video for later. I threw away the flowers I had. Now I have to wait until I get some more.
I am so sorry for your loss. This is a lovely keepsake for your family.
If you roll the clay in your hands first the heat from your hands will help soften it. Hope this helps with all the beads you have to make.
I'm so sorry for your loss
When you put the oil on the clay put it on wax paper and fold the paper over so the clay is covered and roll it with a rolling pin... Also, a pasta machine works well.
Thanks for the great idea!😊
Kelly Barlow Creations putting it through a pasta machine is the best thing to do, try not to add oil as later on the oil might bleed out of them. When I'm making beads or anything with polymer clay I work it between my palms while the rest of what I'm going to use I either sit on or put under my legs. The heat of your body is the best thing to use. I have had my family tuck a pack of clay here and there while they watch tv and I craft. Xxxx
I love this idea ! Thank you for showing us this idea!
Thank you so much for sharing how to make such a beautiful and sentimental jewelry-piece :) I’m so sorry for your loss
Blessings to you * I only missed out on soooo many occasions that I could have kept and worn though out life*TFS
Fimo is very easy to work with if you do research about it. :) You have to warm it up in your hands so the clay will soften your fingers won't hurt. You can make it super soft just by using the warmth of your hands and even smudge it.
flattening the clay and using small cookie cutters keeps consistent bead sizes
So amazing and beautiful. So sry about the loss of your mother. Much love sent your way. Have you did a update on the wax dipped flowers? How did they hold up?
This is so neat. Love the idea. Places that sell flowers like lowes or walmart toss and clearence their flowers. Their loss my gain.
Wonderful idea. Thank you, Kelly!
What a beautiful idea Kelly. I'm sorry for your loss. Would you be able to spraythen with a clear coat spray paint to make them glossy looking? Many blessings to you and your family.💜🙏
Love this idea!! Thanx for sharing!! I hope you are doing well!! :)
I make memorial flower rosaries all the time...I prefer using premo translucent with a little of the color clay....I make roses instead of round beads
I found your videos on preservation I wonder how the waxing the flower came out?
O and sorry.. I didn't answer your question... No I didn't add any glitter or glitter spray
My condolences about your mom so sorry
It is a great idea... I love it..
Kelly, thank you for sharing this. I'm so sorry for your loss. My 38 year old daughter passed away and I was looking for something special and I think this is what I want to do. Did you do another video on how to make the bracelet? Thanks.
Thank you for this video! After the beads are baked, do you put anything on them to preserve them or coat them?
Thank you again! I did notice the beads in the beginning had a sparkle to them. Did you add glitter or a spray glitter?
So sorry for your loss. I watched the first video but could find the video where you put the bracelet together can you please let me know where it is at? Thank you!
perfect they are beautiful.
You can put it in a ziploc bag and sit on it for a few minutes to warm up the polymer clay, that will make it easier to work with it.
Hello... The sparkle that I think u might be seeing is just a clear bead that I put in between each Aqua bead
I have some dried rose's from My anniversary in January and I am trying to decide if I want to try doing that is making some beds with them with the white Clay but I'm not sure if is something that I want to make something else with like a Cross if I can make it but the beads seem really easy to do even though you have to work with the clay a good bit
How did you dry them out? Did you use paraffin wax? I heard you can freeze them and spary a clear acrylic spray on them first. To preserve the way they look right then. Then hang upside down like you did....
here's a recent video I did on how I dry out my flowers

and here's a project i just did using my dried flowers
ruclips.net/video/TWU3Gj3ywiM/видео.html
Minha querida a dor nunca vai acabar, perdi minha Mãe também, qual é o material que vc esta usando. Não achei a parte 1
Is there any way to put a clear coat or something that they can remain shiny or glossy afterwards?
this is a wonderful way to keep your Mom close to you these are turning out beautiful. Question how long do you bake them ? or am I asking to so . Color is perfect.
I wear them for special occasions! I just did it to the size of my wrist and how i'd like it to fit :-)
I hope I mean a lot to my sons. YOUR SO LUCKY to have a Mom mean a lot to you.
Hi there. My Dad passed away 2 weeks ago. I would like to make a bracelet for myself, 2 sisters, 2 sisters-in-law and my Mom. Can you post the link to finishing the bracelet? I don't see it here. Thank you,
God bless you 💕
How long do you bake them and what temperature?
Rose beads can last. I have some that are 40+ years old. They were deep red and made black beads.
the clay that you already work and you put into a bag if you let it sit does it become harder and you have to rework it? this is a really great idea and I absolutely thinking about making some of these beads myself inspired by your video 4 gifts. sorry just wondering if it becomes you know back to being stiff and you have to rework it each and every time you're working with it or does it stay somewhat saw and you only have to work it a little bit to make the beads. again thank you for the inspiration I'm glad I stumbled upon this video but I am very very sorry for your loss I know that it's been over a year but I know it never gets easier. if you wouldn't mind letting me know that would be wonderful thank you so much
rachael libero yes, but it will be easier to re-condition the clay the second time, because the oils from your hand will have soaked into the clay already.
It's easy to condition clay if you know how to. Just roll and warm it in your hands. If it's crumbling alot, and a *tiny* bit of baby oil, or coconut oil, or any oil. Don't microwave it, it will melt the inside, and just heat it up. It will smoke, and that's just nit very good xD. So, just warm it up and add a bit of oil when necessary
I'm inspired
I tried doing beads with just the rose petals and it was impossible to put holes in it haha
a rolling pin helps...but be sure not to reuse it for baking food....for the rosary it is 59 beads...
How do you make them shine?
Make yourself a rosary. It is a meditation on the mysteries of salvation.
How about rolling the clay with a rolling pin. Flipping the clay onto itself and rolling and rolling instead of using your fingers.
old video, but when I mame beads I string them on a wire coat hanger and bake
Great idea! Thanks 😋
would a rolling pin help make it softer easier
Can you put a clear glaze over them after you bake them?
you totally could...
❤
