WOW!! She's performed a public service here. Many people love those beaded hat bands, but not everyone wears those large-brimmed hats. She has answered prayers here.
I started beading because I wanted to bead my graduation cap. I watched this video to help me. I go from to to bottom, I use a thick (I think for leather) triangle needle to puncture the hole than my beading needle doe through fine. I also use a thimble to push the fat needle through. Works great for me. Thank you so much for putting this out there so I could learn. Also what I have been doing lately is making my line a bid shorter so if it comes undone, only a small section does and to start a new line I puncture two holes in the open space (that will be covered up) and loop it through to finish the line, that means I only have to put one or two knots in the end because its nicely secured from being wrapped in the two holes. Again, thank you so much for putting this online to help those trying to learn.
I know this video is 2 yrs old but we still watch and use these videos!! I just want to tell you lady,that you did a perfect job. I was so scared to even try to bead the brim of a hat till I found your tutorial. You put me at ease by saying it's handmade and not made by a machime. Nothing has to be perfect like that. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing, I have a cousin who is Special and he loved all the beaded caps I would give him. I took his cap he was trying to put beads on very loose. Your work is very beautiful Sister.
Just started my first cap. Have been a bead weaver for many years but have never sewn directly onto material. Sure glad I have my needle nose pliers!! Thanks so much for your instruction!
I use a upholstery "T" pin to punch my holes... And have a heck of a time going around the corner edges of the cap. It was great watching how you do yours! Thanks for sharing ☺
I totally love this video!! The information is great. The camera work is nice. Your voice is so nice and pleasantly clear...not "froggy" sounding. Thank you!
In case this helps, I was taught to use a scrap piece of wood (or a nice flat stone) and to press the end of the glover needle (the eyelet part in case that’s not obvious) against the wood rather than my finger. It’s so much easier on your hands! 😊
Oh my this is a very hard way to do it. I would make a pattern with the pencil directly on the edge of the hat and sew beads using that guide. I appreciate showing your way.❤
I found this tutorial really easy to follow and very useful. Thank you for suggesting Glover needles. These are new to me. Look forward to more tutorials.
I really learned with your tutorial. I needed it as well. Youre too. Cute! Love your personality. Design is neat. I do loom beading, and I wanted to make my daughter a "cool". Golf cap! I must finish a project I'm working on then I can do a cnew fun thing. Thank you for teaching me hat brims!!
ok yessssssssssss❤❤❤❤! I would rather see a knot and know my beads won't fall apart then NOT!!!! I'm so OCD that I'm like can't see the knot Noone can but it's so freaking hard to get it completely gone and not ruin your work!!! I needed to hear that!!! thank you for taking the time and going through this process ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi ! I was happy to run across your video ! Very helpful ! I tried doing one . My beads in some spots pucker out . They start out flat but eventually look that way . Not sure what I'm doing ! I wish could download your pattern ! I am not good at designing . But was thankful you showed how simple your drawing is . So less intimidating ! So how you can advise me .! Thank you .
Hello! I just found your channel. Do you have a video on making you designs? This looks like fun- and something that you can go crazy on (make a lot of). Thanks for sharing!
K running into two issues... 1. My lines aren't lining up. I'm trying so hard to poke through each line right next to the other one but it's getting wonky. Any tricks? Even more frustrating, trying to make a design of my own, Hubby wants a red hawk feather, it's driving me nuts! It's not lining up 😖
I wasn't going all the way through the hat It looks better going all the way through I was struggling so hard to get everything lined up straight Thank you
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been recently watching tutorials on beading designs on hats all over RUclips & yours is by far the best one yet! From supplies needed, to showing your paper design, down to your directions! I have a question…how do you sew designs on a circular hat? I just bought the Women’s Felt Floppy Hat - A new Day from Target and it doesn’t have a stitching guide and its not thick. It’s waves like a summer hat on the edges. How do you put your design on a felt hat design that’s not hard like a cap, and is thin like felt. Thank you! Looking forward to watching beadwork tutorial Tuesday’s!
Maybe you could try sewing an edge of interfacing or some stronger felt along the edge first to make it stay flat, then bead over that? I think there's iron on interfacing too but sewing with a machine if you can would probably be the strongest.
I have been doing beadwork like that I'm rims for a long time. Your tutorial is good for beginner you did a good job. I would like to know how to bead the rest of the brim
Designing is the hardest part of beadwork! For hats I try to lay one line of beads down and count how many fit. Then I do the design based on that number . Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t! That’s my easiest way though!
I also need help finding the right needle. I’ve never seen John James needles that are both curved and glovers. Only curved beading needles and straight glover needles. Thanks for help
So my husband says his aunt and uncle do better beadwork than me because I beaded his hat and the beads are a bit looser than he likes. And no matter how many times I restarted, the beads still came out a bit loose at the corners. Is there a way to make those beads stay tighter?
I am new to beading and have been watching your videos. Thank you. My daughter and I are going to try to bead some things to sell to make money for her upcoming exchange student trip. Was wondering if I could the pattern you used for this? Do you sell them? Thank you
So ive never beaded but i am interested in learning, i was wondering if i would use the same needle size and beads for a fedora type hat, im thinking the concept would apply to the brim, but what about making the band around the center?
I love your work and your video is clear. Beautiful! I have some fedora hats and tons of beads, I would love to watch a tutorial on a fedora hat and more tutorials on the creative design process. Have you done other hat tutorials and bead design process tutorials? I would also love to be part of an online class on beading a fedora hat brim!!
I tried this, but Denita would not go through because it’s the bill is so hard so what needles are you using? I tried to embroidery a bill of a hat needle was just not go through.
Your awl is too big for that type of project, that's more for fabrics than anything. I'd recommend one with a smaller tip and punching your hole from the underside so you can use a smaller needle. Might help with those jagged edges appearing. Hope that helps

Triangle needle?
I've done dozens of hats and other items that needed help with the needle, I use a push pin, a thumb tack. Works for me. Great Show

“It’s not manufactured; it’s made by hand so it’s ok”. That is such a great takeaway!
You bring joy to my life and the desire to honor my ancestors
Could you do a more in depth video on creating designs? My brain can’t process it yet lol
Thank you for this class.
Thank you for sharing, I have a cousin who is Special and he loved all the beaded caps I would give him. I took his cap he was trying to put beads on very loose. Your work is very beautiful Sister.

This is very creative and beautiful. I l believe in a touch of beads on everything so i truly love this piece done by you.❤
This is awesome, I've been ordering a lot of African tribal beaded rim hats, now I can make my own. Thank you for this video.

Is this needle one size if more than one size what size would I use?
Yo that knotting technique is worth the price of admission!
So glad I found you, I would love to add beads to my hat, really neat idea. Thanks so much for sharing.

Loved your tutorial, I have a cap I love but the beak is a little too long and I believe it's just right for a practice run 😊
K running into two issues... 1. My lines aren't lining up. I'm trying so hard to poke through each line right next to the other one but it's getting wonky. Any tricks? Even more frustrating, trying to make a design of my own, Hubby wants a red hawk feather, it's driving me nuts! It's not lining up 😖
Could you make a list of all the tools also your pattern where you get the pattern
Thank you so much for the reassurance of it not looking perfectly machine made ❤

you are an EXCELLENT teacher! 🙏🏼❤️ thanks so much!
I have been doing beadwork like that I'm rims for a long time. Your tutorial is good for beginner you did a good job. I would like to know how to bead the rest of the brim
I like how you really explained the knots and the the corner part. So question what kinda string do I use?
Hey! Do you think you can show us how to bead into shoes? Specifically HeyDudes! Thank you!
How beautiful. Thank you
QUESTION.. how do YOU figure out how many beads you’ll use? I’ve seen a few different methods and I’m looking for the easiest way.
Designing is the hardest part of beadwork! For hats I try to lay one line of beads down and count how many fit. Then I do the design based on that number . Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t! That’s my easiest way though!
Thank youu
@@twowolfstudio538 where do you find those needles and the thread conditioner at?
@@B.JeannineWillson probably Michael’s or a local art store
I also need help finding the right needle. I’ve never seen John James needles that are both curved and glovers. Only curved beading needles and straight glover needles.
Thanks for help
Ok I need to see how to start from the beginning. Start with first bead and tying in the thread to start.
What size glovers needle do you use? I have these options 001, 006, and 009.
Awesome. Thanks for the info on this one.
Where do you get the needle
Thank you for the tutorial! I was wondering if there is a way to get your pattern if possible? Thank you!
Awesome work...
Beautiful I love the pattern and process thank you 🙏😃🙏😃🙏
Can’t wait to try this
Thanks for your tutorial!
Thank you for video, absolutely gorgeous.
What size gloves needle do you use?
Where do you purchase your hats? Do they have the cardboard brims or the plastic? Thank you! I love your tutorials!
Dang you read my mind this is exactly what I want to do
this is awesome going to do a western hat
Wonderful tutorial. Thank you!
So my husband says his aunt and uncle do better beadwork than me because I beaded his hat and the beads are a bit looser than he likes. And no matter how many times I restarted, the beads still came out a bit loose at the corners. Is there a way to make those beads stay tighter?
I was thinking of making a hat entirely out of beads but couldn't find anything. This helps allot though.
I definitely want to try this but I can understand how the pattern would be difficult
Awesome video! Can you send the design template?
Beautiful work!
I was wondering where do you get your hats from please?
Approximately how many beads are needed for a hat?my daughter and I want to try making a hat over the holidays and I don’t want be short enough beads!
Do you have any tip for beading the entire bill of the hat?
I am new to beading and have been watching your videos. Thank you. My daughter and I are going to try to bead some things to sell to make money for her upcoming exchange student trip. Was wondering if I could the pattern you used for this? Do you sell them? Thank you
This is frickin awesome i am gonna make some thank u for this vid
A thimble protects your fingers.
You are really nice looking too 👍🏾
Helpful video! Thank you. What size glovers needle do you use to go through the hat brim and the 11/0 seed beads? Thank you for the video!
So ive never beaded but i am interested in learning, i was wondering if i would use the same needle size and beads for a fedora type hat, im thinking the concept would apply to the brim, but what about making the band around the center?
The same size needle and beads would work for a fedora hat brim. I’d make the band separate and then attach it
I love your work and your video is clear. Beautiful! I have some fedora hats and tons of beads, I would love to watch a tutorial on a fedora hat and more tutorials on the creative design process. Have you done other hat tutorials and bead design process tutorials? I would also love to be part of an online class on beading a fedora hat brim!!
Can u use durastiff to bead on and stitch it to the bill if u wanted to bead the whole bill?
A metal thimble works well to protect your fingers.
Where can we find the design for this? I’m working on a hat and I don’t know how to make a design for the length from the sides.
Did you double strand your thread?
Yes
Where can I get a pattern?
I tried this, but Denita would not go through because it’s the bill is so hard so what needles are you using? I tried to embroidery a bill of a hat needle was just not go through.
My glover needle does not fit through my 11/0 beads. Is there a certain size glover needle that I should be using???
Thanks 😊 this helped a lot 💜
Hello where can I find patterns for cap brims?
Or how to figure out to make one?
Is it better to start from the bottom or the top of the hat??
En donde podemos adquirir el patrón que utilizas
Can you do a number chart for the pattern. I am a beginner
Do you have copy of your pattern
Do you have any patterns to share/sell for this project?
❤nice work, but just maybe punch the holes in the hat before beading ,it might make it easier on your work project.( Use a thumb tack)🦋🏅
Your awl is too big for that type of project, that's more for fabrics than anything. I'd recommend one with a smaller tip and punching your hole from the underside so you can use a smaller needle. Might help with those jagged edges appearing. Hope that helps
My beads don't go on my needles so what size needle do u use to do ur rim on ur hat
I want to bead vans what needle do you recommend and bead size
Could I buy one from you Im Chickasaw Indian from Ada Oklahoma
Thank you for the tutorial! One question, when you start with a new thread is the bottom of the thread knotted?
You're welcome and Yes! Double knot it and melt it down to a nub with a lighter
