extremely creative and money smart! i decorate marbles all the time now. the bail ideas just opened up a million more ideas thank you!!!

Girl you rock!!! Who would have ever thought? I love these types of pendants but due to respiratory problems I could not work with resin, thank God for you Alisha. Feel better quickly.

Great tutorial. This is the first video I watched that actually made me understand how to make a wire bale correctly. .. thank you so much.

Aleshia your tutorials are so thoughtful and well put together. I like how you anticipate potential trouble during the project, tell where you buy the products and their cost, list alternatives, show the project made using alternatives, and the other subtleties that make your tutorials the best on KZfaq. When I watch one of your videos, I feel completely confident I can complete the project, I don't need to do extra research or watch someone else's video. Thanks for all the stellar videos!

I have been doing these pendants almost identical to yours for about five years now. But I never made my own bail. And let me tell you I could never give a tutorial as well as you do. I did do one tutorial in my life and you are so good at it. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent.

Lovely job on this tutorial :) A little tip I have used when making these pendants. If the edges of the paper are a bit jagged after you have cut around the dried glue step..you can smooth them used one of those grey or blue foam blocks for sanding acrylic nails. They usually have a few different grits of sandpaper on them and are squishy so they make nice rounded edges. You can find them at beauty supply stores. Also, these make a fun set of fridge magnets if you glue on a button magnet.

Excellent job of showing and explaining! My preteen grandchild is coming to visit and I think they will love this craft!

The back is as beautiful as the front! What a lovely project!

You can use black acrylic paint on the back of your beads. It will help keep the image from the back from showing through. It also gives your image(s) more depth and an overall clean look :) Hope you try it!

I love the way you made the bails. I have made a lot and have made many pendants with the bails. Your teaching is great. Thank you.

Wow, I just saw this was a 10 yr old video. What a fantastic tutorial! I can't wait to try and make some of those amazing bales!

Just lovely, will save so much money making these instead of buying store bought, these look so much nicer and give a great finished look, Awesome.

Very nice. I made pendants like these about a year ago and gave them away as gifts. I guess I should make some more. Thank you for showing us how you make the bails. Love your idea with the paper beads. Great tutorial:)

wow, you just made an old lady happy, something I can afford and actually do. Thank you so much for a great tutorial blessings and grace to you Lizzie

I’m years late seeing this fabulous tutorial! Your camera angle is perfectly set. Huge plus!! Excellent directions! Such a cool idea....why didn’t I think of that! Ha😉 Really enjoyable~

Your wire bail idea is simply brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing it, and you did a great job demonstrating and explaining how to make it. One thing I found helpful if an image wanted to show through from the other side was to glue a piece of BLACK paper to the back -- no more show-through. The black paper often seemed to intensify to colors of the image on the front, plus it made the back of the piece look more "finished." You don't need a heavy-duty glue, just use Elmer's white glue for the black paper. Once that dries, you can attach the bail with E-6000, then the Diamond Glaze or clear fingernail polish. I'd love to see the necklace you made with the paper beads and glass pendant. Consider adding a link, please.

I really love how thoroughly you explain everything. You are an excellent teacher. You even give great advice on prices and where to find things. It's great that you provide alternatives in case someone does not have something. Thank you so much for sharing!

I made some presents this year with these glass beads and magnets. I used fabric, wrapping paper, pictures etc. for mine. Thanks for the idea to make them wearable jewelry!!!

Hope your doing great! ❤ 😊Sharon in Ohio loves your Marbel bracelets! I hit and miss the metal piece we twist but 9v× out of 10 still works out! I'm 70 years old and your items you made and you taught me how to make ! Is a joy to retirement; ty❤

Hey Aleshia, thank you for sharing your Bezel Design. I am learning to wire & bead work to enhance my New Generation Crystal Jewelry Line. I have followed your channel for a long time but never attempted to bead weave, however I love to wire beads of all types and sizes. Thank you for generosity to teach and make tutorials.

Absolutely love these, Granddaughters will love them for Christmas.

You are an excellent teacher and probably the best with details of anyone I've watched. I have just discovered you but I'm hopeful that you have many lessons on here. I look forward to watching all of them. Thank you for taking your time and ability and sharing with us. Nikki

great job on showing how clearly to make the bale for these. It looks like something I might could do if I re-watch this a couple of times. Thanks.

I completely love them. They are beautiful. I learned how to make these in a very easier way than the way i was doing them. Thanks a lot for sharing. 😊

absolutely STUNNING!!!!! The Best LOOKING Diy BAILS i have ever seen!!!!

I enjoyed this immensely You have a great way of presenting to your viewers You are slow enough to catch what you are saying and describing You point out each step to give a person time to understand it I think you are fantastic and I will be trying to make these Thank you so much for sharing Keep up the good work

I do this type work, but I use magazines like women's clothing, for my pictures. I use clear nail polish for the glue and then add magnets on the backs. Love your channel by the way!

Very beautiful pendant especially with the paper beads! Thank you for sharing!

Wonderful job. good teacher and very neet job. Greetings from Accra, Ghana, West Africa

That’s brilliant. Thank you so much. May God bless you for all you do in sharing your knowledge with us.🙏🏽

Really well done video. You are precise and your pendants are super professional looking. And thanks so much for showing us how to make those lovely bails.

Totally awesome. cost efficient, easy and attractive. thanks, students will love it.

You never stop even when sick. You still do great work. The pendants are beautiful. Thank you.

Thank-you very much, I am currently doing Kumihimo Braiding and with use of beads to do this I have not been able to find any bails locally that I could use. The ones on line are so expensive. So by watching this you have saved my life. Or I think so now I have to make some. I will send you a picture or two once they are done. Thanks again from Vancouver Canada

Super pretty! I love the pendant, the artful bale, and the decorative paper beads and cords you use to make it into a beautiful necklace. Gonna try it myself with many of the glass bead images ive made in the past. Thank you!

You are so very talented. This is so inspirational. I also love very much how concisely you speak and that you do not go off on unprofessional conversation tangents like some youtubers. I appreciate that so much because of my time problems. I enjoy listening to you speak. Thank you so much.

Great tutorial - you were very thorough. I really appreciated the pointers you gave against pitfalls - that will be very helpful. So now I want to see your other videos.

Thank you for making this so simple! Beading and using the wire looked so intimidating before!

I love how well you explained each step. Also you took care to make this a lasting piece. Thank you!

Love the tutorial. Another old lady you have inspired.

I really like your wire design and the pendants are lovely! Thank you for creating this video and sharing.

Thanks for this video. I love how you made those bails!

Thank you so much for this very detailed and helpful tutorial. You have the best eye for finding pretty images in magazines and making gorgeous beads! I'll post you a picture of mine when I get the bails done!

Sealing the paper with a Mod Podge formula first can make any paper usable & glossy, matte, or my favorite, glittery. This can really make the image stand out & you might not need to use the Diamond Glaze, which as you said, can be hard to find. Neat idea!

I have watched a few tutorials now on making glass marble necklaces and yours, by far, stands out because of the extensive teaching on making the bail. I love that you are helping us save more money with this technique. Thank you for posting.

You actually make it look do-able. I love your step by step tutorial and also how you tell us what not to do. Keep up the good work.

finishing the back, you can use polymer clay, sandwiching the bail between the two and getting rid of the printing on the back. Or, moisten the back and using your finger, remove the excess paper, leaving the image on the glass; then add the pretty bail you've made. (an old trick from Mod Podge and placing an image onto other materials).

Your tutorial is really great. Thank you. I want to do this but finish off the back so as to look more professional. Its the way you made the bail that was so interesting. Thanks for that tip because like you say, they can be expensive and there are not many in a package. Also, I have been looking for what type of marbles to use for certain things and you had the answer!! Thanks again!

YES! a tutorial on making your own bails! they're so expensive online and i can't find them in any stores :( this will help SO much. now all i need is thicker wire. THANK YOU!!

Very innovated and much prettier than store bought. Thank you for sharing

Brilliant! I'm hitting the dollar store tomorrow! Please do MORE frugal jewelry making tutorials! Thank you!

This looks like a really fun project as they can be made so very personal with pictures or whatever. Thanks Alescia for such great tutorials and sharing your ideas !!!

I love your bail design, it looks beautiful and strong. I can not wait to try making them.

Loved your tutorial ... and your designs ... just starting out with jewellery making I am going to love trying new things ..and I will definitely have a go at making one of these pendants ...Thank you for sharing your knowledge x

Thank you so much for showing how to craft a bale (sp?). The entire tutorial was enjoyable & informative. Definitely am going to watch more. I encourage every craftperson to subscribe!

I love this! never made paper beads. I have a baby shower coming up and this would make great gifts.

Thank you for showing us how to make the bails!!! They are so expensive I couldn't believe it. So thank you so much for showing us a cheap way of creating them :D

Thanks from Tokyo! I followed your method of bail making and have done. Sooo happy!

first youtuber I see with nice, elegant, presentable nails

Terrific. How oppurtune for you to put this video out. I just finished a beaded nech chain with a daisy garden theme and needed something to hang in the centre. I was waiting for lightning to strike to find something and here you are. I love this tut. Thanks.

I love these pendants, nice job !! I will try to make these, i have to live a million years with all the things i want to make lol

You have some wonderful ideas Aleshia! I love all of your tutorials, the things you make are inexpensive and beautiful at the same time. Thanks for sharing!

I really love this idea! I made one over the weekend, and I wrote my grandchildrens name on the paper before I glued. It is beautiful! Thank you for putting this tutorial on here, keep them coming!!

I love this! I really like your paper beads. They match so well and the bale just goes with it! ♥

You are a artist! I would never have the patience to make the detailed nails!

You are so creative, I never would have thought to use these, at first I thought this was resine. I am so going to do this technique for my drawings to make neclaces out of them! Thank you!

Those paper beads are beautiful and I love the bails that you made, great Idea! Thank you for passing these things on to us. ❤

Wonderful ideas!! Loved the graphics you chose. Loved the bails...so simple and elegant!

I've taken you're idea and run with it! I made dozens of these and there's no stopping me! I'm going to use acrylic paint to cover the back of the images. I have a few store bought bails (bales?) But will use craft wire to finish the rest. I'll have birthdays and Christmas done!

Zyou are a beading genius!! Those bails are AMAZING!!

Beautiful project! The bail tutorial was an added treat. Thanks!

Loved this. What a great way to personalize your own pendants to match your clothing and what a great gift this would be. Also this would be so great for little girls to make for their moms. Thank you for sharing!!!!

You are brilliant. These are so beautiful and so affordable to make. Thanks for sharing.

I've seen other tutorials on the exact same thing but your bails are not only functional but quite lovely as well. Also, LOVE your manicure! Weird, I know, but anyone who knows me knows I have a thing for great nails. Anyway, I look forward to your other tutorials.

I really like how you make your own bail out of wire! pretty, and so simple! Thanks - I'm just getting into this and I'm a little obsessed.

Wonderful video! You are very explicit, and I have been wanting to know how to make these pendants forever. Thank you so much for posting this how to video. I appreciate your effort and love the finished product. Keep up the good work! You are so creative.

I've never seen bails like this before...you're very talented. I bought the flat-back glass marble ages ago and made a few rings with them using nail polish on the back. I never thought of doing a pendant, I'm going to start right now as I'm lucky enough to have all the materials here! Keep up the great work!:)

Oh my goodness, you are so patient and descriptive and interesting. You did a great job in spite of being sick. Of course, I am posting my comment 4 years after you posted this video. However, I wanted to let you know how much you are appreciated. And you have over 434K views!

Great tutorial! I have been intimidated to learn wire wrapping and you made me feel like I could totally do this. Thanks for the generosity of your time to offer inspiration and teaching :)

Clever girl! These are beautiful, and the bails are fantastic. Thank you so much for the video 😊

I agree with you, Aleshia, glossy papers do work better. I made a bunch of these glass marbles into Christmas decorations one year, and finished them by glueing them onto coloured felt and adding a ribbon to hang the decorations with. They turned out very nicely! Never thought of making jewelry with them though. Your idea is very beautiful! ~Janet in Canada

love your videos and the fact you taught me how to make the bails being on low income I can't afford to buy the expensive ones only to get a few in each package. thanks so much for sharing this even though you were sick hope you get better God Bless you

Excellent video. No unnecessary yapping.

A great tutorial and beautiful glass beads. Luv the idea of using magazines and other printed material for the backgrounds. Also loved the bail designs. Thanks.

You've got a real talent for demonstrating and explaining crafts. Many thanks for this excellent video.

Really love this wire bail design and your ring base one! Will share on my blog so others can come visit!

You are AMAZING! This is the 2nd tutorial I've watched tonite and again, the possibilities are endless!The bail alone is the best ever and who doesn't have those glass marbles and wondered how to do this and make it look nice?

What an excellent tutorial ! I've watched countless craft, hobbie & DIY tutorials over the years. & your creative savvy, style & passion are quite obvious. I can't aptly describe it but you have a 'genuineness' that comes through which I find deeply refreshing. You were obviously unwell so again, hats off to your dedication. & commitment to your business and/or personal ideals. Cheers on a job well done. Deb (New Zealand)

It's lovely and your love the idea of recycling magazines, because that's what I do when I make origami gift boxes etc. I really love your home made bail. Hope your feeling better soon.

Terrific tutorial-thank you for this! I'm new to your channel & really appreciate your thoughtful step-by-step demo. I followed along with wire & tools in hand, and managed to make a bale with no troubles! Also, I appreciate your clean non-distracting background.

Fabulous video.Very easy to follow.How clever you are to come up with such a great idea for making your own wire bales.You keep it simple and inexpensive yet come out with beautiful pieces.Well done

You do an excellent job! I love your bails better than the store bought ones! So decorative.

Thank you so much for showing how the make the holders for the project. I have made so many from dollar store items and needed a way to put them together. Great idea. Thanks

I like the way you figured out your own way of making the bail! Nice job!

I love the bail instructions. Absolutely wonderful.

First thing I thought was how nice were these bails, awesome to hear you made them yourself.

This is a great tutorial! Thank you for making it :) I never thought to use the wire for making my own bails!

Awesome. I love the bail and that you find inexpensive ways to save money but the finished product is beautiful.

WOW!!! Beautiful, very well done!!! Thanks much for sharing! Blessings

Love your tutorials! And your jewelry is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
