I've been really enjoying your videos lately, and I'm excited to give it a try myself. If you ever run out of tutorial material, I'd totally just watch a time-lapse of you creating too! Fantastic work
Love your videos 💜 I’ve been trying to “self teach” for a long time now (years) and always felt weird about going to RUclips for things that are traditionally passed through experience of elders/tribe members. Your videos have made me feel comfortable with what I am learning and your thorough yet concise explanations of what you are using and doing in each video is perfect for someone like me who is so new to beading. I don’t mean to offend anyone by anything I’m saying but if anyone is familiar with old school traditional elders, it’s always been a “you have to be there to learn it” type of situation and it isn’t a bad thing but is sometimes not possible for people who have been torn from their families. Thank you Melissa! 🥰
Yes, I was raised this way. There are things I won't share because they are teachings that I made offers for. And they are not my teachings to pass on to just anyone. Only my kids. So, with that said I'll only show what I was self taught using only the contemporary designs that use 😊
Hey Melissa thank to you videos I just completed my first hoop earring and it look awesome the beads are tight. I really appreciate the help with the knots
Hi there I am a big fan of your videos. Not only are they helpful, they help inspire and refresh my memory on somethings I may have forgotten over the years. I especially love this video using the graphics to help show where each placement of a color bead is place. Thank you for sharing your talent and designs with us! Awesome video!!!
This video is way easier for me to follow than the (3) video tut. you put up. This one isn't blurry or split and clippy like those, thanks, I might even try this one
Love your videos. Very helpful and love the music. I do alot of seed beads and have not felt comfortable about using delica beads. Your work is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Miigwetch.
I love your beautiful work🥰 this is the second video I watched and hopefully I can try make my own👍 i have alot of hoop earrings I dont wear much and want to learn,going to buy all the supplies soon and learn from your videos🥰👍
Thanks so much for your videos! They are so informational & helpful. I can do peyote stitch but struggle with coming up with pattern ideas. Can you do a video on how to read the beading graph?
Also you can buy delicas from Fire Mountain Gems they have a lot and you get discount pricing when you get 15 items or more in your shopping cart. They also carry a pretty fair amount of 15’s as well..
Where is Part 2 to this series? I purchased all my beads and I've been able to bead up until this video stopped. I'd like to be able to complete the earrings. It's a wonderful instructional video and your very good at explaining. Thank you
Awe! Thank you! And so sorry for the long wait 😅 I've been a busy lady. I won't make any promises right now but, I'm really hoping to kick things back up on RUclips again before this year is up! 🤞
The pellon gives your beads something to grip while you bead around the hoop. Without it, the beads move a little more up and down the hoop while you bead.
I have done this pattern and was easy to do. I done this on a rope instead and used size 8/0 seed beads, I find using the size 11/0 for a rope way too small.
Yes, working with bigger beads is best when start out, this way you see where the beads lay and you can get projects done faster. ❤️ It's always satisfying to see completed work 😊
Hello I am having trouble getting started how do I find the pattern can u post some patterns please and I am wanting an feather in one and I don’t know how to do it can u help me please! Thank you
There's no full picture of the design but, if you follow the tutorial bead for bead you'll get the exact same design in this video. And I do not have any other patterns drawn out for hoops because all the ideas come from my head. It's a lot of trial and error. That's the beauty of art. Try something you think you might like 🤷🏽♀️
It isn't. You can bead with or without. I wanted to show, how I started and why/when I use pellon. It's a buffer for your beads to grip, or to increase the diameter so, you can put more beads around ☺️
The rows are numbered and the (icon) is each bead she has beaded. It’s always 7 (recommended#) across. The 3rd bead is where you enter the next color on the next or 2nd row. Blue blue blue pink blue blue blue Pink pink pink pink pink pink pink Pink pink pink purple pink pink pink
Fab video/tutorial! I could easily follow along. I hope you create more tutorials. Can't wait to try this. THANKS FOR SHARING!

Thank you so much! This has helped me immensely to understand how to read and execute patterns.
Awe! That's so great to hear! 🥰
Your bead work is beautiful and your instructions are very clear. TFS. Blessings.

🤩🤩👏🙏
I really enjoy your videos. How do you make your designs?
Hi, im going to attempt this project. May I ask why peylon is used sometimes & not others? Love your work..
How much do you sell your earrings, do you have a website to look at all your beadwork? It's beautiful 😍
I do have an IG account and I am on Facebook 🥰
IG; chilcotincreecustom
FB; ChilcotinCreeCustom Beadwork and Designs
As this is a repeating pattern, what row do you finish on and what row do you start again?
I've don't count it because I use different size hoops. I only drew this design out so others can follow the video 🤷🏽♀️
Mellissa... do u ever bead on tooth pic and remove it and put it in to the earrings
No, can't say I've tried that 🤔
Hello, what site do you go to order your beads?
What is the difference with peyote stitching with or without the pellon around the hoop?
The pellon gives your beads something to grip while you bead around the hoop. Without it, the beads move a little more up and down the hoop while you bead.
I have done this pattern and was easy to do. I done this on a rope instead and used size 8/0 seed beads, I find using the size 11/0 for a rope way too small.

Melissa I Love your Videos 👍💖😃 Melissa you Sale your beading Work? Melissa do you live in Oklahoma? I live in South Georgia.

Can this be done with 5 beads?
On a thin hoop, possibly. But, less beads show more thread. I say 7 or 9 beads makes a good diameter and opens up for more designs ❤️
Why is the peylon necessary?
It isn't. You can bead with or without. I wanted to show, how I started and why/when I use pellon. It's a buffer for your beads to grip, or to increase the diameter so, you can put more beads around ☺️
What is peyote stitch I need a pattern I am just new to beading Lori
Since this is odd count peyote I wish you would of showed clearly how you continue at the end of the third row.
i can not see what it is exactly u doing camera moving and it seems blurry too much movement its really hard to figure out
🤔🤔🤔
Confusing, don't see u adding beads
I find it so hard to understand🤦♀️. You didnot even show the video properly but only tells n shows the chart. 😪
Its because i don't understsnd the chart system
The rows are numbered and the (icon) is each bead she has beaded. It’s always 7 (recommended#) across. The 3rd bead is where you enter the next color on the next or 2nd row.
Blue blue blue pink blue blue blue
Pink pink pink pink pink pink pink
Pink pink pink purple pink pink pink
You talk lots 😩
