You crackedme up. I love beads. Went into a gigantic bead shop and my boyfriend said my eyes just kinda glazed over and I stood there in a stupor trying to figure out where to go first. Lol

Sounds like me.😂

Matt, this is THE BEST tutorial I've seen yet!!! Thanks!

You're the first person who explained the loop making that really stuck with me! I only needed to watch once and I got it! I watched several loop videos and they seemed so complicated. You make it so clear and easy! Thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️

Great tutorial. Thanks

I love stacking beads! I'm addicted, lol... When my students think they are beading it wrong, because it doesn't look like mine, I tell them it doesn't matter. It's not necessarily wrong. If they like how it has turned out, then it is right. You will never be able to do any two exactly the same. We are not machines. If they like the looks, then it's right!

You make this look so simple and easy! 😔 I’ll keep trying. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻☺️☺️☺️☺️

Glad to see you back to teaching demos again! Always something fresh and new...

I’m a bead stacker!! I use head pins unless I’m making a chain! I also like little spacer bras in between a neutral color. Sometimes it gives them a bit more pizzaz! You are really good at these instructions! The twist around the extra wire always looks good!

@kristinstewart5556 - Same here. I've been stacking them for many years. Sold a lot that way, too. I'll be teaching my young granddaughter to do them soon as well.

I’ve used heads pins, too, to stack!

I'm a crafter and was in uTube "school" when I came across your video for the first time. It caught my eye and clicked on it for the hell of it to check it out. Need I say more.....here I am now. Kudos to you big time. Your down to earth entertaining educating persona made me explore you further. Although I currently work with resin, cabochons and pop sockets I'm always open to new adventures and growth. Being a jewelry addict for 50+ years has certainly provided me with a stash. Thank you for being who you are. You're a breath of fresh air!!!

I’m just learning how to do this wow it’s so fun

You are right, bead non stop ! Generally I'm up at night contemplating what I'm going to bead next. Always have ideas. You rock. Glad I found your site.

Your enthusiasm is sparkle-rific! Thanks for livening up my lunch break!

This will help me out of my seasonal depression. I have arrived because God lead me to you. Now I will not feel guilty because of prices. I have so many beads, etc. I just need to concentrate and move forward. Keep inspiring me and others to be creative. You put things in a different perspective. I can see the light. Thank you. Now I just have to get the wire and will be ordering it today.

I have collected old jewelry from thrift shops & yard sales for years. I use them for wind chimes from tiny Jello molds with the stack method you described. They are lovely if I do say so~ Thanks for sharing!

What an awesome idea to use some of the old costume jewelry I score at estate sales, yard sales, online lot auctions, etc. I have been trying to find something else useful for it, and I believe now you just gave me a great solution. Thanks for sharing, of course!!!😊👍

Thank you Matt! I used to make beads all the time but I guess I got depressed and I have moved and things are all over the place and not where I know where they are, for two years!!! But watching this video makes me happy and I want to make beads again! You inspired me to work with wires awhile ago too! Thanks again for your help! 😊

Nice to listen to someone who gets what I do. I have bead stacks all over my workshop and still want more.

I don’t know why I haven’t been making stacks but I’m gonna start.

Thanks Matt, love watching you work with wire.

I will be stacking this weekend. You are giving me inspiration, because I don’t need medicine. Thanks.

I didn't know that I was a bead stacker, untilI watched this. Love the start segment bead description.

I love stacking beads! But no wire wrapping, this would definitely be the easiest way to learn!

This is where I started in the early 80s, but stopped to learn other techniques. So simple and satisfying! I love your artist's eye for colour and form.

This was inspiring! I'd love a follow-up video showing more ideas about using the stacks and charms that are created. This morning, I made 6 beaded book marks and I'm using up my miscellaneous beads in such a creative way! Liz in Media, PA

Hi Liz, we are in Springfield, PA. Let us know if you'd like to visit

Wooooow, you just inspired me...I was really lazy lately with not much motivation. And you gave me the boost that I needed...you are so full of energy and inspiration! I really appreciate your advice and support. I am going to take you with me every day in every video to do the same as you do....get that energy going to keeping doing what I needed to do. God bless you for your kindness and for being yourself🙏🙏🙏

Love this video! You are very easy to understand and inspiring! I'm going to stack some beads TODAY!

I understand now! Thanks for being so clear.

Beautiful creation thanks for sharing.

Want to get back to jewelry making! I'm inspired now! Thanks😊

Thank you, Matt! I have learned a lot from your videos.

I've been doing this for years. I never wait for or pay attention to "trends." I just follow my intuition, so I guess I end up setting the trends myself.

Thank you!!!! I am looking for new ways to make my own components…and I have a ton of bead soup.

Stacking beads is so fun but I have never tried anything fancy but you motivated me. I also feel like I can never have enough beads!!

Thanks Matt. Perfect timing for an upcoming craft donation drive. Cheers from sunny Queensland Australia.

I just love how inspiring you are! Thank you for the difference you have made in me. I had the skills and desire but thanks to you and your simplistic approach to remembering to have fun with it, it's not a mistake just go with it, I have been making like I've never before. I just wish I'd found you sooner. Thanks to you I have a confident and varied inventory for the first time ever! Can't wait to try my first market soon. Much love from this Houston "kid".

Right?! Always gets me motivated to get off my phone and do something!! And these simple little tips and tricks help me a lot. I get distracted so easily. SMH. 😊

Ok I randomly decided to watch this video, and subscribed just because I love your energy! I do love beads.

Yay, beads beautiful!!

You have inspired me to start a small business based on what I owe to your videos. Thank you so much!!

I like the way you show how to play and stack different shapes and sizes of beads and playing with the wires I think is super fun. Thank you for sharing.

Another great video! Thanks so much for the inspiration!

I just love the easy flow and creativity.

I'm learning SSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOO much from your videos. I want to thank you for telling us that it's okay if it's not perfect and that the perfectly imperfect designs are the most beautiful!! Ps: Where's the necklace from the end of last night's live auction?!? I've been waiting all day for it!! 😁

I love bead stacking. I like how you have the wore meet in the middle with the the blue beads and make a cool design. Awesome. I like all the different shapes in each set.

So glad to see you!!

I've seen several videos related to the "loop" part and the way you show and explain it FINALLY makes sense. Thanks!

This video came up on my .......well, heck, I don't know how you appeared on my screen but your intro alone made me subscribe. And you are SO too-the-point! Thank you!

Great video! Bead stacking was very popular in the 1990's and in the 1980's and 1970's. It's amazing how styles come back and always seems so fresh and new when they do! I live that! 😁

Great idea to make a lot of different sizes of bead stacks and then use them for bracelets, necklaces and earrings. You can also use them to make dangles as pendants. Thanks for sharing this video.☺

That was so fun, I'm inspired to get my beads out and start stacking

Thank you. I like seeing all lined up.

Dang Matt, love this vid! Your super up close is sooo great. I’m just starting to work with beads and I’m frustrated with making the loops perfectly. This has helped me greatly. Needless to say, I’m a new subscriber! ☺️☺️☺️☺️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Matt, you crack me up!! Thanks for your humorous yet very informative and enthusiastic videos!! ☺️🙂🌸

Sounds good to me! I make glass beads for a living and headpins…to stack beads on to 😊

How easy and fun! You made this look so easy and encouraging to make. You explained and showed what to do way easier than others who make it long and drawn out and convoluted! Good music too!

Thanks Matt! I have thousands of beads and usually make necklaces, earrings and bracelets. This video is great! I takes me awhile to figure out what to make. I will definitely start stacking my beads! I love this idea!

This is a great video Matt! Thank you! My brain just went 😲😲🤯 Those are so pretty and like you said, just make them. Seriously I'm a mixed-media artist and my head is about to explode. OMG ❤

It’s crazy..I just found your channel and I have tons n tons of beads from years ago that I have not been into in such a long time….thanks for this video..appreciate it..

You are an expert, inspiring, talented genius when it comes to wire wrappin'!!!😮

Aloha!!! Great video AGAIN Mattéo! Beads, beads & more beads, all day long!!!🤩🤩

I must stack beads! 😵‍💫

Oh you are adorable! This is the first video of yours I have seen and I just subscribed. I love the bead stacking idea and off to rummage through my stash now. Very inspired, thanks! :)

Thanks Matt for your inspiration your the first gentleman that I've seen that gets it!!!!! like literally thanks for sharing!!!!! You inspire us all !!!!!! Keep them coming😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

You are my favorite, I love your enthusiasm!!! THANK YOU❤

I've been putting a chain tassel on one end and a lobster clip on the other to use as fidget embellishments.

I love this idea. I always have a hard time trying to find the right beads when making something. I'm going to try and not think about it to much and just put some beads together.

Thank you!

Best simple tutorial! Thank you ❤

You are all inspiring. Your lesson is clear and understandable. Unlike others I can’t follow. Thank you for making this video.

Great loop demo!

Great video and camera work! So many videos I've seen are such a waste of time because the camera is positioned poorly and the techniques can't be seen. Wonderful tips on making the end loops & wrapping methods!!! I really needed to see this and can't wait to make some wrapped bead stacks! ... Thank you so much! ❤

Thanks to the algorithm I viewed your post. Now subscribing. I bought a random 1 pound lot of beads and stacking & wrapping for bracelets is perfect.

"And he persuaded" as we say in Poland. Thank you! I've started stacking beads! [;

Love your enthusiasm.

Beautiful! I love your energy and creativity! ❤️👍🏻😁

Thank you!💝😎💝

I am learning to make bead jewelry and I love it.

Fun video! I have been collecting beads for 16 years and want to get rid of them. Started sorting, 4 hours later, still sorting because you can really get absorbed by sorting beads😅 I may end up keeping them, you gave me some new ideas.

I love this! I was getting a little bored with beading and this just have me so much motivation. Yay! Thank you ❤

I love this idea! Thank you. ✨

Thank you!! Great bead work.

Great tutorial, thank you for teaching!!

Nice…I have sooo many beads and wire…have been wanting to get it out and play…very motivating!! Thanks!

Completely excellent video. Thank you SO MUCH for the clear and concise explainations.

Oh, how I wish I had the strength and dexterity of a good masculine wrist!! You it so naturally and effortlessly, Matt, it leaves me in awe and envy!! thanks!! Love what you make! And your lovely humor and clear creativity is delectable!! God bless you, and your hands!!

Stick to 20 gauge - it's more forgiving. 18 gauge can be a challenge

What fabulous colors ❤

Thank you for sharing and taking the time for this video. I am just getting back to making jewerly and did a piece with stacking different beads and they actually look so fun together. I love your combinations and how you refresh on the loop technique. I needed that reminder.

Thank you!❤

My by far favorite thing to do now is bead stacking
