Let's Make Some Historical Christmas Gifts! | 18th Century Neckerchief and Necklace Tutorial

Happy holidays! I hope this video brings you some joy as we bring 2021 to a close. I didn't have a space to mention this in this (rather hastily-made) video, but especially as the winter cold sets in, I encourage you to help out local mutual aid groups if you have the time or resources. They are often able to reach people in need the most quickly and effectively.

Also of note, this was my first time editing a video with new software, and I edited it really quickly, so there may be some mistakes or places where the audio could be better! However, I think that the features I can now access with new software will mean better video quality going forward, so I'm pretty excited about that.

I found my beading materials at a craft store while visiting friends in Indiana, but you could find similar materials in any craft store or on Etsy. Look for glass beads, toggle clasps, and crimp beads!
