HI, Thank you for sharing this bead board idea. Yours turned out great! What size is the piece of plywood you used? I think I will try making one. I think felt or maybe a fun foam sheet for the back. Again, TFS
Your video is the only one with a tutorial for a bead board that I like and it's great. Yours came out quite nice. The steering wheel cover was genius. Thanks.
It was a joy to watch someone create their own design. I am a crafter but don't have the imagination you have to create. You tube is where I get most of my ideas. Thank you for your ideas.
I made mine today with the steering wheel cover and a small cookie sheet. Stuffed the steering wheel cover with toy stuffing. And then hot glued it to the top and bottom of the wild colored steering wheel cover. Its fun.i didnt have foam mat but i had some fleece and some black felt. Ok so i put the yellow fleece under the black felt. Yup uhhuh oh yeah. Its awesome. You my dear lady were the inspiration for my bead board. And i am pretty fussy about what i use to craft something i really want or need. I am makin another with a bead mat of foam and the other things, cookie sheet, steering wheel cover etc. I like havin 2 of things i use a lot. So next is my order of beads. Already own some got some coming and more to order
Great job.....I used the cheap pizza pan, a padded steering wheel cover, scrap of upholstery fabric, colored duct tape and a little bit of batting...all purchased at Walmart 👍
What a great idea! I was going to try one using a round pizza pan and foam pipe insulation from the hardware store. This idea has been floating around in my brain for several years, and you've given me some more possibilities now! Thank you!
Sometimes it's not where you ended up, but sharing what you learned on your journey there. I had thought about making one and I've learned some things watching your video. :)
This is great! I've been wanting to try making one of these. Now I can start collecting what I need. Philipe should be in ALL your videos! He's too cute!!!!
I love that you are so real, and appreciate you sharing this whole experience: the good, the frustrating, & the lessons learned--including perseverance. Because it turned out great! Thanks~
Very creative Aleisha. I think this is a very good first attempt at making a bead board. One thing you could do to cover up the glue is to trim it with 1/2 in seam binding. Also a product I use in adhering fabric is, Beacon Fabric- Tac. This stuff is amazing it holds fabric together permanently and is waterproof. You need very little of it to get a good hold. I use a cut up credit card to spread the glue evenly. You just need to remember that once you glue it you it isn’t going anywhere so make sure youplace it where you want it the first time. I have an original bead on it board and I love it however, I sometimes like to have more than one project going and would like to have a couple more boards so making them yourself is a great idea. It looks to me that the sides of my board are rolled then tucked under the top fabric then secured on the back and the back cover is glued over that to create a seamless finish. Hope this helps. You have inspired me to try making one myself. The original ones are quite worth the money but when you live on a budget like most of us do it makes sense to create your own. 💞💫
Maybe you would inspire us??? When your videos pop up I immediately get paper and pencil. Thanks for this video! I made a board of my own, but I want to improve it. Thanks thanks thanks!!
Aleshia, this turned out great. A few spots of glue on the very edge won’t hurt your beading, and in time, you won’t notice. I’d totally use it. I, too, would love a nice bead board, but not at $50-100+. I, personally, just can’t do that. I made three using bead mat material (Vellux...I bought a twin-size blanket instead of using beading mats) and cheap picture frames, 3 for $3.99 or something like that I found. No extra padding needed. I also just used a small plastic box from the back-to-school supply section and cut some Vellux (could use any material) to fit, used superglue to adhere it...now I have a small travel beading box, enough to take one small project with me.
I made my own bead board after watching many videos too. However I must tell you, that I also sew. I had many different fabrics. Y hubby sanded a piece of plywood. I also had batting to cover my board. I did purchase beading matts from Amazon. I got 3 different beading matts for under $10.00. These are awesome.
I certainly do have a lot of stuff I could use to do this! The steering wheel cover is genius!! I think I will try sewing the front side first and hot glue the back since I would be using cardboard instead of plywood (we have plywood, but it's slated for another project.) Since I don't have mailing insulation, I'll be making a stuffed tube out of an old t-shirt and stuffing it with fiberfill from an old pillow. I love to craft my trash!!
I have foam, and a small cookie sheet, with the higher edges. So I don't know what im using. Lol well im watching you now. Craaaaap now i want black velvet. Lol oh first time viewer here. I like your video.... you talk softly, have a very lovely voice. And no music to distract us. Yes no music. I love it and i love you
I have two Mini Bead Wrangler boards in the 7 x 12 inch size and LOVE them! They cost much less than the other brands. Just go to Etsy and search mini Bead Wrangler. The company makes larger boards but I really like the mini size. I always enjoy seeing how clever you are!!
Thank you for showing your mistakes and other options as well as your unique ideas. We all make mistakes and it helps to see how you got to your end results in spite of them. 😊
I love the idea that you are not afraid to pull something out of the garbage and put it to good use. Thank you for sharing this. Ive been trying to figure out what the best material is for the bead pad. Now i know velvet will work. Thanks again :)
You really did an EXCELLENT JOB WITHOUT THE TRIPOD. The steering wheel cover is a splendid idea. Yes, the glue got in your way but you didn't get discouraged. You were all giggles all the time. When you smile, the world smiles with you. It was fun listening to you. The result was fantastic. Thanks for making my day so great. Thanks for sharing and caring Hugs from France. 👍👍👍🤗🥰👏👏👏🍾🍾
I don't think it's a sad attempt at all. Love that you like making things yourself. I think it's awesome! Let us know how it works out for ya. I will def be trying to make one.
I really like your idea ! Love the steering wheel cover. Turtle Soup also made one with cardboard and t turned out pretty good. That piece of velvet is perfect, you have to just forget about the little bit of glue.I think you did a good job.🤗💖
This is awesome! You can get some kind of trim or fabric ribbon to cover the edge where the glue has seeped out and use double stick tape instead of glue.
I think you did a great job. I love it. I have been wanting a bead board to, but they are so expensive, and i dont have that kind of money i would rather spend it on beads. Lol. Thank you for showing us.
You did a great job and get me inspiration to do my own. I think that if you glue the corner in diagonal way you have secure the fabric and will be easier to do the sides! Thank you so much for you beautiful tutorial!
I made a easy bead board by using a picture frame from dollar store. I used the vellum bead fabric for the beading area, reapplied the board that came with frame, flipped it over works great. Oh ya don't use the glass that usually goes on top the picture.not fancy but very functional. Please consider trying this and upgrade it, your so talented I'm sure you with some up with something amazing, like how to cover the back.😁
It's brilliant! I really love the way you use the steering wheel cover! I love taking trash and turning it into Treasures! And yes if you were to have glued the steering wheel cover on to the top first and then stuffed it from the back so I probably would have worked better. But what a fun experiment! I'm inspired!
An old pillow could donate its stuffing too. Much neater and less crumbly fuzzy stuff all over. I got several pillows i dont like or use so there that and then use a pizza pan from DT and the steering wheel cover. I have foam already for the bottom as i dont have that fabulous piece of black velvet foam. Fancy Nancy lol love your board. Kiss the kitty from me
Thanks for sharing, I made one and used weather stripping foam (like a small pool noodle that I shaved the bottom a little flatter) and if you put a scrap material on the glue that came out and iron over it, the glue that seeped out will come up because it sticks to the scrap material. Hope that helps.... If you ever want to try again
Your project is a totally inspiration. I may try to do on my own and I was thinking in some parts I could use a sewing machine and leave a gap to insert the beard, may or may not work 😁 Thank you always for your inspirations. Love it. 😘
Thanks!!! I wanted to sew mine at first but the elastic in the steering wheel cover made it hard to sew. But maybe if you cut a slit in the cover and pull out the elastic on one slide it would probably work.
As always...another one of your clever idea's! You have such an amazing crafting talent...I'm always inspired by you. It may not have turned out, exactly as "YOU" wanted...but we all love it! And I'm sure you'll make another, in hopes of accomplishing exactly what you want! Tfs❤
you are too hard on yourself, you did an amazing job on your brad board! I am definitely going to gather some supplies and make one. Thank you for the inspiration
Hi Aleshia I had wonder if the bead pad could be made, and you showed me that it could be made so even if you're wasn't perfect, it was right on time and I will give it a try. AIM
great job, I made one with a shoe box lid and find it hard to use, I will try this idea. I love all your videos you have such a great way to explain things. I cant wait for the next one. Thanks for all you do to inspire us.
Definitely an inspiring video. Got the cogs turning! I've gotten those decorative white boards from Dollar tree that are basically masonite would probably work for this. My local bead store sells the larger bead mats for a buck. I bet I could mount that on a couple pieces of fun foam. The steering wheel cover is GENIUS! I kinda wonder if a pipe sleeve would work, they are smaller, and flexible and have a pre-made slit in it and are fairly cheap. As far as possible backing. What about that non-skid dotted fabric or even the really nice shelf liner? So many ideas! I hate hot glue though. I always got burned no matter how careful.
I understand perfectionism. I’m one too. I think your board turned out fine. If the glue bothers you just add another level of trim over the glue. Use your board and let us know if you like it. My concern about the black surface is how you will find black seed beads when you want to use them. You are so very creative in the use of materials. 🌹🌷
I think this turned out pretty darn good and I'm definitely inspired to make my own! I don't think the hot glue showing is too big of a deal as you'll be using it to create jewelry (who will see it? ;) ) and so it doesn't need to be perfect. I also like your version over others I've seen because the way you glue the top down, beads aren't going to find their way into the crevice between the board and the cushion. Thank you for sharing this!!
Aleisha, I honor and love your creativity! This is a fantastic idea. I have a smaller bead board with the measurements on it, it did not cost much. However, I would love to make another as I usually have more than one project in progress. Couple of suggestions: 1. Some people repurpose the thick Vellux blankets from the thrift store. Many bead mats are made from this. If you can't find more velvet/foam material, the Vellux would be a good stand-in. 2. When you make another one think about placing the wider part of the steering wheel cover to the backside to give you more beading surface on the front side. Great ideas and thank you so much for sharing! 💖🌷💍💎
Not a bad board and certainly one you could use if you are limited on funds. I am currently using trays from the $ store with a mat layed inside which is not bad but I would like some foam for the bottom. 💕❤😊
Thank you. I think it turned out great. I also love reusing things and making something new. I've been thinking on how to make one. I was given a wood cutting board (new). Don't really need it ,so I'm thinking bead board!!!!
Love Your DIY Bead Board!! I made your Wooden Beading Board a couple yrs ago (I forget what you call it) & I Love it!! I'll have to Post a Pic on Instagram or Pinterest & Tag You. I'm like you as far as I like using tools - hammer & nails & pliers etc lol. Now that I've been doing other crafting I'm using glue more & hot glue gun. I have finger protectors that I got from Amz for when I use hot glue gun. You Always do an Amazing job explaining things & giving us alternative ideas too.😉 Thank You!!! Take Care Aleshia .. hugz, Jill 🤗😊 tfs
I so need one of these. Thank you for sharing this video. Or maybe a foam board could work too. A tip when you use hot glue guns. Keep a bowl of ice water near by. lol. That board looks nice. Lol or Cat bed.
Thanks for the video! I just so happen to have some left over plywood from a house repair that the construction team left behind. One step closer to having every thing I need to try this. lol
Hi! You gave me some pretty good ideas! That stuffing you're using is probably wool. At least that's how my dogfood is delivered, frozen. Because i receive it I big box the stuffing comes in actual mats with a thin plastic sleeve. So I'm gonna be using that. I was wondering; did you end up buying another one, or did you make another one or are you still using this one?
You are so cute, and creative. I think it was you a while back that suggested the best place (and kind) where to get a bracelet mandrel. One that wouldn't sing up if you hammered on it. Do you remember? TY
I too have been wanting A bead board and the price is a little steep for me as well. You have no idea the what My put together bead boards are made of or even look like.😂 Anyway this is an awesome idea and I literally just through large thick pieces of Styrofoam away 🤨, But you do have ideas rolling around and my head thanks for the Inspiration....... Love all your videos🤗💞
Girl, you ALWAYS inspire me! I was thinking you could sew a cord around the edges to cover the glue on the black velvet. Thoughts? Also, I have a mini tripods with legs that can be bent around chairs or headboards or other things and it works great. I got it on Amazon and any phone will work in it. I also bought a remote for taking pics and videos. Might be helpful to you too. PS: I am so going to make my own beadboard now!!
I like it I am going to use this idea , I have one half way done was not sure how to complete it thanks to you now I can complete it ..Just use sharpie color glue ..done an done
Oh yeah I'm definitely going to make me one I've been wanting one myself a long time and they are expensive it's ridiculous. I already got the fabric I got everything else and I even have the phone all I need is the board
Oh, also for the edges I used a foam pipe insulator, they only cost arountv $3 and I think they are 6-8ft long, they are already split open. They look like a pool noodle but much skinnier, so perfect for the edges :)

This is nice. And the money we save on not buying an expensive bead board can be used to buy more beads!!!! Win, win!

I wonder if Fabric Fuse would have worked better to attach steering cover? I still like it! My cats would love this too!!
Very nice and easy board!
Very cute nothing wrong with that board good job
What a great idea! They are so expensive to buy. Love this idea!
You did a good job.I will try to find the supplies and do this myself. I will probably try using shorter staples. Thanks for the wonderful idea.
I think you did a great job!!! I use a tray...like a tea tray...with a beading pad on it. But I think I might try your idea! Thank you!!!
I also have a tea tray that I put a bead mat on is fits perfectly in my desk draw.
i think you did a great job!and you have given me some great ideas and i already have that same wheel cover
Thanks for maintaining your creativity. You inspire my confidence. Bravo
Good effort! You inspire me to think outside the box. Thanks for sharing.
It's brilliant! I really love the way you use the steering wheel cover! I love taking trash and turning it into Treasures! And yes if you were to have glued the steering wheel cover on to the top first and then stuffed it from the back so I probably would have worked better. But what a fun experiment! I'm inspired!
An old pillow could donate its stuffing too. Much neater and less crumbly fuzzy stuff all over. I got several pillows i dont like or use so there that and then use a pizza pan from DT and the steering wheel cover. I have foam already for the bottom as i dont have that fabulous piece of black velvet foam. Fancy Nancy lol love your board. Kiss the kitty from me
Board looks great. If the glue really bothers you, get yourself some sticky ribbon trim and cover it. Great job. Thank you for showing.
Thanks for sharing, I made one and used weather stripping foam (like a small pool noodle that I shaved the bottom a little flatter) and if you put a scrap material on the glue that came out and iron over it, the glue that seeped out will come up because it sticks to the scrap material.

Oh wow this is so a great idea the real one cost so much!
Good job, very clever ideas. Just add an edging over the glue that shows-cover it right up
haha yes pets lije cat n dogs will love this as look very comfortable. nice bead box thanks for the idea.
It’s not a sad attempt. I think it worked out nicely so I will also try to make one.
You can cover that little bit of glue with black marker. I think you did great. Looks very nice.
This was a good job and I LOVE your flexibility!
"Beadboard 📿or cat bed!" LOVE IT!!
Hi Aleshia

What about a pool noodle cut in 1/4 & putting the flat side on the board & rounded side under the outside material.
I get burned every time too. I got gorilla hot glue and wow that stuff is really strong compared to regular hot glue which just peals off.
@@murphy1384 great idea. Will use that noodle.
It came out good. i wish i had one of those cushion pad. So yeah use it. it looks good.
I understand perfectionism. I’m one too. I think your board turned out fine. If the glue bothers you just add another level of trim over the glue. Use your board and let us know if you like it.

The fabric stores carry batting by the yard in different thickness. Or they carry foam pieces there too.

Hi! You gave me some pretty good ideas! That stuffing you're using is probably wool. At least that's how my dogfood is delivered, frozen. Because i receive it I big box the stuffing comes in actual mats with a thin plastic sleeve. So I'm gonna be using that.
I was wondering; did you end up buying another one, or did you make another one or are you still using this one?
You are so cute, and creative. I think it was you a while back that suggested the best place (and kind) where to get a bracelet mandrel. One that wouldn't sing up if you hammered on it. Do you remember? TY
I too have been wanting A bead board and the price is a little steep for me as well. You have no idea the what My put together bead boards are made of or even look like.😂 Anyway this is an awesome idea and I literally just through large thick pieces of Styrofoam away 🤨, But you do have ideas rolling around and my head thanks for the Inspiration....... Love all your videos🤗💞
Girl, you ALWAYS inspire me! I was thinking you could sew a cord around the edges to cover the glue on the black velvet. Thoughts? Also, I have a mini tripods with legs that can be bent around chairs or headboards or other things and it works great. I got it on Amazon and any phone will work in it. I also bought a remote for taking pics and videos. Might be helpful to you too. PS: I am so going to make my own beadboard now!!
I love it! Can't wait to make m own. Thank you!
You definitely inspire us.
Aleisha~ It's wonderful! Don't be so hard on yourself. 😄
Yes cute.... I made mines for a long time...trying to find the picture of mines....
How about gluing the foam down around the edge and then add the steering wheel cover and glue it down in the back?
I like it I am going to use this idea , I have one half way done was not sure how to complete it thanks to you now I can complete it ..Just use sharpie color glue ..done an done
Hi you done a great job there . Thank you for sharing.👍
I think you did a wonderful job! You could sell yours, too! Thanks so much; I am motivated. I have a piece of flat board out on the porch.
your dog is a cutie!!!
Thank you for the video's your a great teacher
Looks great to me!😊
I love it you gave me a great idea thank you ❤❤👍👍🎊🎉
Oh yeah I'm definitely going to make me one I've been wanting one myself a long time and they are expensive it's ridiculous. I already got the fabric I got everything else and I even have the phone all I need is the board
Ich mag das Board es ist selbstgemacht 👍👏👍
Oh, also for the edges I used a foam pipe insulator, they only cost arountv $3 and I think they are 6-8ft long, they are already split open. They look like a pool noodle but much skinnier, so perfect for the edges :)
Great idea !!!...Hi from Germany :-)
