Tilly, I am so happy I found you - your beaded tassels are the most beautiful I have seen, and you make them so neatly with such flair & care. Thank you so very much x

BEST beading video on here! You dont do a long intro and your voice is so easy to listen to. I like how you jumped right into how to do this. Using straws is a game changer as I need a large bead hole for stringing on yarn, fabric etc. Thank you for telling us about Callie Black's tutorials too. Hope I spelled her name correctly. My ancestors are British so I love having a new "cousin across the pond". Please show how we can actually put a long bead like yours to use. Thank you so much.

Hi! I know this is an older video but I'm just now seeing it and i have to tell you your beads are gorgeous! Simply stunning! I never thought of making them this way. I was always stuck in the paper bead rut, lol. Love these and i must try them! Cant wait to make some of these and watch some of your other videos. I'll be using paper straws so i wonder if regular hot glue will work? I must tell you, i LOVE your accent. I coukd listen to you talk for hours! Anyway, thank you for sharing your talent. See you in the comments! 😊❤

I totally agree with you especially about the lovely accent. My ancestors are British so I feel like family here. Using straws makes for a pony bead size hole which is what Ive been searching for. Theres nothing stopping us now! Robin in NC USA

9:56 You could maybe stick one end of the wire into some left over polystyrene packing (that you find protecting items). Even making some thing that could take both the ends so the item was horizontal instead of vertical, if you were concerned about dripping. I used to use polystyrene blocks that I would otherwise throw away, and with the smaller "beads" fix them with a toothpick down the centre, so they could dry without rolling around accidentally. (Those were paper rolled beads, which I then varnished).

@@TillyDouglas Thank you for your answer, so it is just a decoration that can be put anywhere, even on clothing and accessories. I saw your paper beads here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rJp2rN110rqoaIU.html and they are wonderful, I really like the decoupage ones with the pink and beige paper. I like to use everything: paper, resin, wire and polymer clay, but I don't have a great technique, I make it up as I go along and I'm still happy with what I do. You've given me some ideas; I've been keeping the paper of an envelope from a purchase for a long time (years) that has a variegated beige background with beautiful roses in a slightly dark antique pink colour that take you to an atmosphere of the 1800s and romance: here, it's time to use it to make beautiful beads :)). I would like to buy a paper cutter, on Amazon I don't know which one to get, could you give me some advice so that I can also cut A3 sheets in obliguo? Or in any case a cutter that allows you to make obliguous cuts even with sheets larger than an A4 Thanks Tilly and sorry about my bad English (I am Italian) translated with DeepL translator
