I have at least attempted every single one of your tutorials. I am a beader and still haven't found anyone as creative and talented on youtube as you. All tutorials are clear and easy to follow. I look forward to your new videos. You are amazing aleisha!!
I've been researching footless sandals for over a month now and this is the best video(and most beautiful sandals) I've seen so far. I got worried about the length at first until I saw the great detail and it really is mostly tutorial. (A lot of videos have the person talking into the camera for 10 minutes before beginning) I can't wait to try these for my brother's beach wedding! Thank you!
Thanks for the tut. I loved the one I did with Turquoise, silver and aquamarine. Because I wear size 9's, I strung 7 instead of 6 for the sandal foot part. And because I don't trust a single strand of mono filament around my ankle, I threaded a second length to match the first through the last bicone to double the strength of the anklet part.
I'm always so pleased with the clarity of your demonstrations. It makes following along so easy and you speak so clearly that it is a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them. I'm always looking for new ideas and you are the first choice every time.
Wow your the only channel so far ( ive watched many) about beading etc that really makes me feel like I could make something beautiful. I really like how clear and easy you speak and show us the how to. Ive bought tons of stuff and have yet to make anything due to discouraging too fast of speakers..but your the best! Cannot wait to use my beads now. I love this anklet. tx
I am new at making jewelry... 2-3 months. I have been making the basic string the bead type jewelry ... yours is the first of its kind that I have tried that was totally different. You did a great job with your video instructions! I won't mention my age, but let it be known that I didn't think the barefoot sandal was for me ... so, I left out the 'toe' part ... and continued the design until it went around my wrist and I made a bracelet out of it. My husband loves it ... I want to make earrings to match and use part of the design in a necklace with gold chain. I used gold 11.0, clear iridescent 4mm, and med pink 6mm. It is winter here now, but plan to use your design later for my teen granddaughters. I know they will love that barefoot sandal look!!
Those are called "Slave Bracelets"... or at least that's the only name I've ever heard for them. I have a bunch of Peruvian Slave Bracelets (& Necklaces). It's such gorgeous wirework, and I LOVE the idea of making them using this method! I'm sure yours turned out beautifully! Now I want to make one of each! :) BTW... Aleshia: I echo what many have said... Your teaching is incredibly clear, with well paced beading, and simple to follow! You Rock!
Thank you SO much!! I'm making barefoot sandals for my 14 year wedding anniversary vow renewal. I'm going to put some ocean/nautical charms on. Thank you SO SO SO much for taking the time!! I'm a first time beader!
Thank you so much Aleshia! What a beautiful design; you are an excellent teacher and have helped me to make my step daughter's barefoot sandals for her wedding. I see lots of possibilities in this design and will look at your other posts. Keep up the great work!
Your jewelry is absolutely gorgeous. I just love your tutorials, they are so easy to follow and clearly show each step which makes it so easy for beginners like me to understand. Thank You.

I love making these barefoot sandals. Going to have to do this one. Just completed a set for a beach wedding, bride and the attendents I will try to post a picture on your facebook page.
Hi Alysha! Your video was awesome! Thank you so much for sharing! I made your elegant sandals but altered it to include angels and dolphins! I will upload a picture for you soon!
Thank you for sharing. Your instructions were clear an easy to follow. I hope you post more videos on making barefoot sandals. It would be greatly appreciated.
IT IS AWESOME! PRETTY FOR SURE! I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS: CAN YOU MAKE A BAREFOOT SANDAL TUTORIAL USING STRETCHY CORD AND ALSO A TUTORIAL SHOWING HOW TO MAKE A BAREFOOT SANDAL NYOSHOOS STYLE? I'VE SEEN THEM HERE IN YOU TUBE AND I'M CURIOS IN HOW THEY'RE MADE... THANKS!
Loved it.i cant believe how easy is that ti make,i've been trying to buy one of those,but now thank to you for teaching me how to do it by myself, in this weekend i will by some beads and follow your steps ,i subscribed to your channed now, xoxo,thank you
Aleshia, as always, very thorough. I saw you post this on FB and couldn't wait to see the tut. I've been looking for a good tut on a barefoot sandal and so glad you decided to do one. Sorry it took so long for me to get to it but I'm like the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. "I'm late, I'm late, for a vey important date." It was the White Rabbit that said that, Right? LOL Thanks again.
thank you for sharing this with everyone and your instructions are so easy to follow. I have made a pair and they are so pretty. i am now checking out all your videos. :)
Beautiful barefoot sandals.Can you use fire line other than the mono filament.I'm not trying to sound stupid,but what is the difference between the mono filament and the fire line?Thank you for all of your fabulous videos.
very beautiful I am going to try to made a pair. but, can you use size 8 seed bead? my eyes ands fingers aren't what they use to be age 72 next month. keep up the good work I love your pieces.
Love, love, love your stuff and your informative video. I tried you anklets but am having a problem keeping it tight across the foot part. It is probably my thread. I will use something different. Can you use stretchy cord? Thanks so much.
Hi ! Thank you for such an awesome video. You are a great teacher. I have one question: could I use elastic thread to make these footless sandals? Thanks for sharing.
Dear Alicia, I really love your tutorials! They also help to improve my english a lot;-) I only have one question: you always speak of 8 or 10 pound monofilament... do you also have a diameter for your threads? It. may be in inches, I can change it into mm...Thanks so much for sharing your great ideas!
would you please show us how to make one for the arm how to start off with out the toe part and the anklet part I would like to make a matching one to wear on my arm love all your video. I like making things to match.
Hi! I noticed you mark the ends of your wire with black and red stripping marker....would nail polish do the same? I have beaded years ago but your tutorials are SOOOO easy to follow! thanks for reopening that world for me!
I went to Micheals and they didn't have 8 lb 10 lb monofilament. Is that the same as fishing line? And do I have to use 4 mm and 6 mm and 11/0 or can I do other sizes. Unfortunately they don't have the colors I need. It's for my wedding
I cannot see which seed bead you are going through after you go through the 4mm...yes your nails are beautiful but they are distracting since I only have Internet on my phone lol ...you only say go through the seed bead we just out on...which one? someone please help me!
