I created a wee gadget to help pull ribbon through beads and charms. I crimped the pin at one end about half an inch and added a tassel to the other end so it wouldn't get lost. Use it like a needle threader. Insert the crimped end through your bead hook on your ribbon and pull it back through your bead.
Hello Mrs. Cog, your bead collection is to die for and thanks to you, I will start collecting beads to apply to my junk journal. It will be my first one (junk journal) and I hope it is as beautiful as yours is. Thanks for the video!
I had never seen or heard of Bulb Pins until last week when I stopped into Seattle Yarn. I saw them in pkgs of 25 for $5. I thought to myself, "Self, I can do something with those!" And here you are showing that you use them! And I thought I was so original! :))
Love the tassels with beads added to it. You wont believe it, but i was just wishing to see something like this. A while ago I was gifted several rolls of crochet thread that the previous owner had strung with color co-ordinated beads. I was looking at them wondering if it would be hard to add them to tassels and wallah there you are right in front of me answering my question before i evr asked it. Twice in the last year, I almost gave them away, as I downsized, but something stopped me. Thank you so much for this video right at the right time !! 😊
Thank you for sharing the clever ways you use beads. Very creative. Then you pulled out your handmade journals... oh my goodness! I have to see more! Just hit the subscribe button.
Thank you - this was so much fun to watch & so many ideas now to find where I've hidden the beads because I wasn't sure what to do with them. Mrs Cog - you are a delight to spend time with now off to purchase coiless pins which I had never heard of until today! I feel as though I spent my afternoon at Hogsworth with a wonderful professor.
Great ideas!!! I can’t wait to use some beads some using each of these ideas! If I remember (and can find) I use “Floss Threaders (found in the dental care isle of your local stores) to thread ribbon through beads! It’s makes things easier!
I love to listen to your explanations! You're always so calm, and simple. Your work is beautiful. Like you I live in the country, so I like to see pictures of your creatures. Have a creative day.!
Owl clips!!! I'm new to this type of crafting world. I've watched hundreds of videos inhaling as much information as possible from people with positive vibes, like you, and nobody has mentioned the names of these! Yayayayay!!! I'm so excited!!! 😂 THANK YOU! Love watching you. I always am inspired. Thank you. ❤️
Great ideas. Thanks for sharing your ideas. As a jewelry designer and using different material in junk journaling, I have found that using a small spot of Elmer's glue on the ends of certain types of "yarns" and rolling it a second or two between my fingers until stiff helps to guide the yarn through beads, too. You can cut that off once you have completed your tassel and/or other junk journaling items where you are using the beads and yarn. Sometimes a lot easier than trying to wrap scotch tape around the end of the more narrow yarn. I wouldn't attempt on bias tape, etc. ;)
I just found you and you are brilliant with the mason jars and returning the beads you poured into the lid. I have those plastic boxes with the dividers and my beads sectioned out in colors, i grab a few that I want in a project, then never return the unused beads to the box. I love the idea of the jars on a shelf where I can see them. Thank you!!!
Thank you for doing this video! Too often do I forget about the vast array of embellishments that can be used and forget what I have in stock. Making a motivational list with all the bits and bobs that can be added and a list of items i have in my stash - these 10 uses for beads is definitely going on that list!! xxx K
Thanks Kerry! There is this guy in the financial world who always writes his articles using lists and we joke about him, but it's very effective. Now I have become that guy in my little crafting world. Too funny lol. Hugs :-)
My sister does gorgeous beading of all kinds. So I am so happy to have found your video!! I plan to make a book for her so she can put her photos and ephemera into and onto it. It will be fun to add a few of your ideas to the tassel I plan to attach. Thank you a million ti,WS over. 😊❤️
Mrs. Cog you never cease to amaze me!! Your work is so awesome!! I was wondering if you have a tutorial on that little journal you your using to show how you used the pearl pins and how you used the little charms on those pins. It was so very pretty I loved it! All the little dangles using the little spools of thread and other sewing items all throughout! If so could you send me the link to the tutorial!! Keep making all those beautiful projects you show us time and time again!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with us!! You are an amazing crafter!!! I watch your videos one after another for hours!
I love your “don’t try this at home” warning. Who am I kidding, I love the whole video. Your stash is the stuff of dreams. I know it took you awhile to accumulate.
well, you have the best bead collection I have seen! thank you, lots of inspiration, and I am with Vicki, purple is so rich - along with shades of green! I love seeing your planners, I could look at one all day :) hugs from UK x
Hi Mrs Cog this is a first for me and loved your video ,so many ways to use beards.I love purple my favourite colour.thank you Have a happy day .Hugs Daphne in Australia.

Perfect ideas! Thank you so much for this share. My granddaughter and I are going to love these forms of attaching beads. May you continue joyful junk journaling!!💜
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I too have bead envy. What a fabulous collection you have. Thank you too for introducing us to coil less safety pins. x
I so appreciate your making this video of tips! I have many beads that will now come to mind when I'm making journals. I didn't know about the coil-less safty pins but they're golden!
Thanks for sharing some awesome ideas with us. And I never knew they had coilless safety pins. I am buying some of these. And I have to say again. Your sewing books are so gorgeous. I love them.
Ooooohhhh Yummy! Can I say a few of my favorite things now? Thank you for sharing 10 ways to use beads! I’m going to have to start a bead collection now.
Goodness I love this video. Idk why I haven't watched your channel more! You made the loop on that dangle expertly!!!! I had been taught a different way and have been very frustrated with the results, so thank you for that simple demonstration! WOW!!! I am saving this video in my Library for future reference!!! Thank you thank you!!! (PS - I will be binge watching your channel now)!!! LOL!!!
I love all these ideas! I have some strings of beads from a thrifted bag, and now I know what to do with them! I really appreciate this tutorial, Mrs Cog!
Thank-you for sharing with us! This has provided some great ideas for using up beads and adding some bling & texture to journals; really enjoyed it:) Jan

Thanks! I just added a stick pin with a snowflake charm to a Winter Blessing card and it’s the perfect touch.
I just found your lovely channel and will dive in head first, haha. But I wanted to tell you that the needle book is just gorgeous!
Hello Mrs. Cog, your bead collection is to die for and thanks to you, I will start collecting beads to apply to my junk journal. It will be my first one (junk journal) and I hope it is as beautiful as yours is. Thanks for the video!
I am so glad I found your channel. Thanks for the wonderful beading ideas. I can’t wait to get started on some projects!
Thank you dear. I watched like a child longing to “play“ with those jars 🤤
Wonderful ideas! Thank you for taking the time to make this video...much appreciated!
Who knew there were saftey coins without coils? I love the bulb pins. So unusual and dainty!
I had never seen or heard of Bulb Pins until last week when I stopped into Seattle Yarn. I saw them in pkgs of 25 for $5. I thought to myself, "Self, I can do something with those!" And here you are showing that you use them! And I thought I was so original! :))
A tiny tassel would look nice on the end of that pin with orange beads and flower. Maybe I will make one. Thank you for sharing
The needle book is gorgeous !!!
Your work is absolutely gorgeous. The needle book and the planner journal are just amazing. So professional looking!
Love the tassels with beads added to it.

Coil less safety pins who knew 😄 I’ve always been so frustrated by that coil on the safety pin for years. thank you. Ok gotta run ...to Amazon
Great tips and I adore the big jar with all the silver beads. So visually pleasing 🙂
I just found you and you are brilliant with the mason jars and returning the beads you poured into the lid.

Enjoyed again , never seen the pin with no end twist. Very good.
