    I love chip beads! They’re an automatic “screwup fixer”! Any beading that looks a little wonky-throw some chip beads in there to fill it in or even to contrast it-it makes it look beautiful! I also love to make the various tree pendants using only chips...I make my own frame and tree, then use the chips to signify whatever a person may want...(4 seasons, family birthstones, etc). Then, of course, I make any other wire additions (moon, swing, flower, etc), check again that all wire ends are secure, cut, hidden, not poking, polish it all up, & that’s that!
    I am going to “borrow” your idea of using the concave metal [rose] findings back to back & attaching with a jump ring, if you don’t mind! Now THAT might be cool to back with chip beads or even seed beads! 🤔 I wonder...

I’m really interested in learning the rose quartz bracelet technique too! Gemstone chips are so challenging but you came up with some really creative ways to use them! Yay! I have lots of them and am psyched to try these once you do those tutorials!

I knew I wasn't the only one who struggled more with those shapes, so I think it's great to be able to see so many different ways they can be used, beyond basic stringing. They really can be fun and beautiful! I will crank out more tutorials soon. Thanks for watching! 💜

    These pieces are gorgeous. I have had gemstone chips in my stash for a long time and had no idea what to do with them, so this video is definitely inspiring. I would love to see a tutorial on how you made the multi strand pieces using the brick stitch. I am curious to see how you did that. I know that I have told you this several times, but it truly does make my day much brighter when that bell rings on my phone telling me that you have posted a new video. Awesome job as usual.

I knew I wasn't the only one who struggled with ideas for using the gemstone chips in a way that elevated their look.

I've always loved the nice, big chips that are available, but I've never known what to do with the small ones. But you've given me a ton of ideas with this video. I have to say that the Rose Quartz Bracelet with the small, matching, pale pink Czech glass flower beads is just SO STUNNING AND ELEGANT! That was the perfect way to include something different, but subtle, to the rose quartz. I'm in awe,I really am. Lots of love from Amanda in Australia xoxoxoxox

    Great ideas. Love the multi colored ones and the wire wrapped on. I have trouble finding ways to use cording. Loved them all. I'm so inspired. 😊

    You really nailed it Gina! the bracelets, esp the rose quartz one have a graceful almost fairy quality to them. I just thought everything you did served to enhance the gemstones'
    colour and quality. Kudos for rising to the challenge and can't wait for the tutorials!

      Hi Carol! Thank you so much! I was really trying to do that; show off the different gems in their own way, and elevate them beyond basic stringing. I appreciate you watching! 💜

      Hi Amanda! It's always great to get a fresh dose of inspiration, isn't it?! We can never take inspiration for granted because I know all too well, it can come and go. When we have it, we have to take full advantage whenever possible. I am glad that I could inspire you, and you enjoyed the pieces! Thanks so much for your kind comment, and for watching! 💜
