I'm new to beading so I love that you not only share your beautiful designs but also your thought process on how to creatively use materials. Right now I feel my designs are a little "cautious", but your videos are helping me have the courage to think more "out of the box." Thanks for your inspiration!
I am so happy to hear that, Carol! Thank you for watching!
Oh man! Gina your the bead master in my book, the way you weave and twist and make magic with chain beads clasp's and all from your creative mind your blowing me away young lady. Everything's so nice, the focal necklace's, the dainty butterflies are my favorite pieces.
Thank's for sharing.

Sue awww, thank you so much! 💜☺️
Brilliant, simply brilliant! I have so many odd toggles and single 2 & 3 hole connectors. I always pick up these $10.99 grab bags from a shop in LV that have odd pieces and gem stones. Now there is a way to use them. I am scribbling feverishly in my sketchbook. Thank you so much Gina
Renee Barger Oh yay!! I am so happy I could give you an idea for those. Thank you so much for watching! 💜
Outstanding creations Gina!!! I really LOVE April’s bargain bead box!! These are more my type and colors vs pastels. I thought all your projects are great but my very fav is the necklace using the larger crystals with matching wire wrap bracelet!! Just love when you send us a finished project tutorial.

Hi Mary, that will feel so good when all of the organization is in place! I am glad you enjoyed the finished pieces!
Hi Gina! All your pieces from the Bargain Bead Box subscribtion this month are gorgeous! I really loved the last necklace you showed in the video with the strand separator, except you used it as a chandler with 3 strands of wrapped linkes dangling down from each hole! Great creativity as usual, Gina! Hope you don't mind if I use some of your design ideas from last month, as well as this month for inspiration! What ever I make that comes from your design... YOU Will Receive FULL credit! Thanks so much for sharing your finished jewelry with us! You are awesome! Take care and GOD Bless you and your family! ❤ 🌺

Hi Gina. You always come up with beautiful ideas. I really love all of them the butterflies are really very nice. I love the way you use things in different ways. You help us more then you know. Thank you for sharing . That was cool the way you used the triangle toggle. That is why you are great at designing. I hope i can do it some day.

Gorgeous!!! Love everything, especially the butterfly set! Tfs! Hugs!

Sonia S. Muniz aww, thank you, Sonia! Have a great evening! 💜
Everything looks so beautiful!!👍💖❤💜💕
Thanks so much, Michelle! 💜
Also, I love the 3rd necklace. I wasn't sure what to do with those striped beads. I love what you did with them!
Thank you! Glad I could help!
This month's box was terrific!
Loyce Hake It was a great box! Thanks for watching, Loyce! 💜
You did a great job on that box! Love the chunky bead and butterfly set!
Thanks, Deb!
Really lovely designs Gina, thank you so much for sharing. 💞💫
Thanks so much, Kim!
Your imagination and creativity are amazing! 😄❤️👍🏻👋🏻😍
Thank you, Helga!
Whew, I think I'm pretty well caught up on your vids, now. Love the 2nd one (agate and dzi focal)! Also the #4 station necklace. Oh, and #5 station necklace/dzi focal. Genius use of the toggle bars on #6! I've never seen anything like that before. I'm frequently tempted to use the circle part of a toggle in other ways, but don't, because I can't think of a use for the left-over bar. Thanks for the idea! Butterfly set is really cute, too.
Patricia Morgan Thanks so much, Pat! 😁💜
Your creativity is amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much!
Oh wow!!! That was so inspiring!! I absolutely love the first necklace you showed and I might do something similar!! Great show and tell!!! 💜💕💜
Thanks so much, Sharon! So glad you enjoyed the finished pieces! 💜
Awesome !!! Thank you so much ! Happy beading hehe
Wow Gina! Awesome pieces! You are one awesome designer.
Thanks so much, Sandy!
Your finished jewelry updates are my favorite! I started getting the bargain bead box after seeing your unboxing videos. I think it's the best subscription box out there.
Awww, I am so happy to hear that! It truly is a great subscription! 💜
Love your new designs ,thank you for sharing. 💖😍
Thanks so much, Mary!
This was my first box, and I really loved the selection! I have been looking forward to this update! Great job as always! I wish I could send you a picture of one of the pieces I made! I did enter it in the contest! It's nice not only to look forward to the box, I look forward to see what you make as well! 💕
Hi Jen! I am so happy that you were able to subscribe, and that's awesome you entered the contest! I think the winner is selected at random - keep entering because you just never know! You can always share the pic to my FB page (I think it will allow you), or you can email it to me. Glad you're having fun with the new beads!
Jen Anderson I checked out the necklace that you made on BBB’s Facebook page, very nice !
Thank you Jodi 💖
Those were awesome pieces. Lots of really good ideas!
Lady J Walker Thanks so much! 💜

Love everything. Thank you👍
love your creations as always!! thank you for sharing!! keep them coming!
Thanks so much, Marissa!
I really enjoyed the video. It is the first "finished jewelry" video I've seen. Our styles are very similar but I no longer sell my creations. For some reason, it takes the fun out of beading for me.
Thanks so much for watching, Sharon! I am so glad you enjoyed! 💜
Very creative, I don’t subscribe to this box anymore but you did a amazing job. 😊👍 congratulations 🎉🍾🎊 on 10 K
cathy cowen thank you, Cathy! 💜

As usual love everything thank you
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the lovely ideas :)
My pleasure, Susan! Thanks for watching!
I loved everything you made. When I received the April box I was so excited about the contents. As always Gina thank you for sharing.
Jeanie Berry Thank you so much! I am glad to hear you enjoyed the contents too! 💜
Your composition is so good. This is something I hope to get better at. I've been following lots of tutorials, but I want to get better at designing just with my imagination :)
Emily Rachel Gilley Thank you, Emily! It takes a lot of time and practice, but you'll get there! 💜
Great as usual. Beautifully done. Thank you for the idea of the bar of the toggle clasp. Thank you for sharing with us.
It's my pleasure! I am so glad you enjoyed!! 💜
Beautiful!
Yvonne Cormier Thanks, Yvonne! 💜
You have done it again! I love all your creations! Great job👍😊
Thanks so much, Joselyn! Have a great evening! 💜
Beautiful inspirations! Definitely great pieces! Truly liked the piece using the triangle toggles. 😃👌🏻
The Beaders Attic thanks so much! I am really happy you enjoyed! 💜
Have you ever thought about doing detailed tutorials, so we could make these ourselves. Everyone of these projects is fantastic. On the one project you used the 1 step looper on, which of the 3 loopers did you use? I own the middle size one, but the loops looked like the biggest one. I wish I could get my hands on that April 2019 box. It's stunning, and you are fantastic amd so creative. I'm new to jewelry making. Gave up papercrafting. It's going to rain all weekend, so I'm going to binge watch your videos(instead of clean house and do laundry. You create such stunning projects, Sharon
Hey Sharon! Thank you. Have you seen my tutorials playlist? I have over 30 tutorials that I have created over the past year, and I am making videos as I am able to, so there is still much more to come in the future. :) I am so glad to hear you are enjoying the finished pieces! I used the 3mm size on the project you were asking about. Hope that helps!
Beautiful pieces! I love your work so much!
kristin Kristin Thank you, Kristin! 💜
I love the April box! I also very much like what you’ve created, very inspiring. I like to be surprised when my monthly box arrives, so I try and avoid your unboxing videos until I have opened and played with mine . You always come up with such great ideas on putting them all together and thank you for sharing. I really like your “out of the box “ use of the components, you are so talented and it gives me different ideas on how i look at mine. So great that you just about used the entire box , I hope I am able to do the same , quick question though, were the stone focals from this months shipment or before, because I didn’t receive those in the one that I got , bummer : (
Thanks, Jodi! I am so glad you enjoyed the finished pieces! Yes - the stone focals were from April, but perhaps there were some variations in the box selection this month? I would e-mail them just in case. Their customer service is very good, and if there was a mistake I am sure they will try to make it right. 💜
Love your videos 😉🌞😉
Catrinia Smith thanks so much, Catrinia! 💜
Thank you for your amazing videos I truly enjoy watching them. I did have a question about your displays, where do you get them from?
I am so glad you are enjoying them, Mirna! Thank you! I get them on Amazon; here is an example: amzn.to/2DyfxBD
I love this subscription box. What can I do to prevent the chains from tarnishing? It may be just my skin but I dont want to give or sell if the chain turns so quickly. Great ideas. Beautiful pieces. Loved the green beads!!
Jean Pettay hi. I hit my chains with a quick spray of Krylon crystal clear spray paint, and also there are inexpensive anti tarnish products that you can purchase online. I’ve not used them , so I can’t give you my opinion ,, but I know the spray sealer works nicely on mine.
Hi Gina, was wondering where you got the copper spacer balls, copper crimps, copper crimp covers, and copper wire guards? Your designs are beautiful! Keep up the good work! Love your videos...TFS
Hi Kathy! Thank you so much! Always love hearing from you. I got most of those items from beebeecraft.com. Many of them came in little mixed packs of various metals - plated brass. I also get them on Amazon sometimes because it is a quick and easy place for me to get things with free 2-day Prime shipping. Hope that helps!
@@ORCHIDandOPAL Thanks for the info on supplies
Awesome jewelry designs, dear Gina! Love every one of those, but my favorite is the last pieces with the butterflies. So beautifully done everything! Thanks so much for sharing your skills and knowledge! Have a blessed week!
P.S.: Could you tell me the place you bought the magnetic clasps?
Thank you so much, Lidia! They were purchased from beebeecraft.com. Have a great evening!
@@ORCHIDandOPAL Thanks for the reply, dear Gina; just thinking probably I have to be their customer in order to buy. Thanks again, very appreciated! Great and blessed weekend ♡
Hi Lidia, for this company anyone is able to purchase from their sister site: beadboxbargains.com. These pieces came from their monthly subscription, though. Hope that helps! 💜
Love it all can you show the tool and how you did the warp. I made the necklace , memory wire bracelet add earrings. If it ok with you I would like to use one of your ideas for bracelet. I haven’t show may jewelry on this channel because I don’t want to talk be I will tryout then I’m not sure how to put something on this channel need to look again thank you for your help.
Hi Anastasia! Here is the link to the tool I was referring to: amzn.to/2Wk5k35 I think I have shown it in a video before, but I will try to show it again one of these days. Thanks for watching! 💜
Gina, could you show that loop thingy you talked about in a next video please
Hi Irma, in case I forget - here is the product on Amazon--amzn.to/2IUbVxC Thanks so much for watching!
I love all of these pieces!!! You have convinced me. I need this subscription box . I’m a bit confused though. Every time I try and subscribe, it seems like it wants to charge me just for the month. Is it possible to pay for the whole 3 month plan at once? I’m thinking I want the three month one, as I can only afford that if the payment comes out all at once. Can you help me out with understanding this a little more , I’d so appreciate it. As always thank you so much for sharing . I enjoy your unboxings the best . You make it so easy to see everything clearly . And your finished jewelry updates are so inspiring . I was just a beader of earrings . The stitching onto felt . And I am into wire wrapping gemstones and beads into pendants . Now I’m so having fun bead stringing and making earrings . Those loops oh my hahaha . Thanks again
Thank you so much, Jeannie! Sorry for my slight delay in response. You should be able to purchase a gift subscription for 3 months, and pay for it up front. The normal one does just charge each month. Also, their customer service is fantastic, so you can always e-mail them and ask them for that option in your circumstances. Hope you are able to get it! Such a great box!
Lovely pieces Gina! I haven't made anything with the new beads yet! Have you made anything with the March bargain bead box yet? Congrats on hitting 10k!
Thanks, Katie! I got pretty swamped with other things, and completely ran out of time to do anything with March's box before several weeks passed, and then April came in, so I decided to work with that one. :) Have you done anything with March yet?
@@ORCHIDandOPAL no not yet! I am hoping to this week!! Thanks for all your videos!
My pleasure, Katie! Hope you get some time to bead this week! 💜
@@ORCHIDandOPAL same to you!
Beautiful jewelry. What size one-step looper do you use?
Thank you, Kelly! For that one I used the 3mm. 💜
Hi Gina, do you like to use a particular brand wire for the wire wrapped links you make? I like wrapping links but I don't have any antique copper wire- I may need to get some, so I am looking for recommendations. I am having a hard time finding antique copper. Thanks!
Great question! I used what I had on hand, which was the Artistic Wire 20g. It's funny because that color is what they call "antique brass," even though it doesn't match any of my antique brass findings. It is actually much more of a reddish brown. Anyway, I found some similar antique copper wire on Amazon in the Beadsmith brand, as an example, that should work well too: amzn.to/2Vk2Jco Hope that helps!
@@ORCHIDandOPAL thanks Gina! I feel like matching up the colors is so difficult sometimes! And alot of my searches for antique copper result in antique brass wire! Thanks for the help and the suggestion!
Tfs🌸🌺
My pleasure, Suzie! Thank you so much for watching! 💜
Have you done a live stream making jewelry?
Pearl Bubbles not yet! Maybe one day!
@@ORCHIDandOPAL I thought I might have missed it😃
