Heather,I really enjoy watching everything you make. You make things that look so easy to make but everything I can try to do somethings always go wrong. But I have been watching you for a while now and I just can't believe the way you make things are so simple but I don't know if it's me or I am so stupid that I can't do it but really the beautiful simple things you do ii😢takes me 20 times and I still can't get it..I 😂everything you make and I just love how you share everything you do but you just are so unbelievable wonderful and I keep trying it. Please don't stop sharing your beautiful work with us and maybe I will get it. They 😅really are so simple and I just keep praying I will get it a😅when I do you will hear me screaming all the way up north, lol 😆 😂 but you just are amazing with everything you do show ❤️ and I just love watching you ❤️ and the beautiful work you do and sh😅us ❤️ and I just can't wait till I get something right..THANK YOU AGAIN and keep up your great work ❤️ God BLESS you and your simple things you sha😅with so many people. 🙏

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thanks so much for your kind words Lorraine. Please don't be hard on yourself. I have been making wire jewelry for 35 years. This particular bracelet is a bit more advance, but I do have a lot of beginner videos that may be easier. Good luck and please don't hesitate to ask any questions here or via email at [e-mail]

[@shirleymoore3767]

As Heather said, she's been doing this a long time. She has also said on her lives that she has very strong hands. She is very, very good at spacial design. I am not, so it would take me making something probably a dozen times to get it to look similar to hers. I just enjoy the process. Wire working is as much about muscle memory as it is design. Don't give up on it! ❤

[@Xijia-rx4iz]

Yuoe make really detailed videos. I too make wire jewlery but I had to buy the clasp and other stuffs and it was expensive for me as a student. Thank you to help with making own clasp. If you have time can you share how to make more shapes of clasp. Thank you😊

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thank you. I have quite a few tutorials making clasps. You can search my channel for specific projects. Here are some clasps: www.youtube.com/@HeatherBoydWire/search?query=clasp Please don't hesitate to ask any questions or request specific tutorials.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thanks Elizabeth. Have fun with it!

[@UteMikula-is7qj]

Beautiful!! Would 18 gauge wire be strong enough? Thank you!

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thank you. 18g would be a bit soft, but maybe you can double it up or twist it like in this tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6jWdnZseKt3aLc

[@carmenveal09]

Where do you sell

[@HeatherBoydWire]

I don't currently sell bracelets, but I used to sell at craft shows and folk festivals.

[@theartisancompany]

Great video! TFS!

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thank you.

[@karenwillis3111]

Where did the 3rd wire come in. The one you coiled on 16g wire? I watched 4 times and you didn't mention a 3rd wire.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

At 1:11 in the video I add 6-8 inches (you can use less) of 18g Artistic wire to the first 16g wire piece to attach the beads. At 1:59 after the beads are on this 18g wire, I twist the 18g wire that holds the beads to the 2nd 16g wire piece. Hope this helps.

[@clarahopkins6782]

can you make a necklace using the same wire

[@HeatherBoydWire]

I made this choker with the thick wire kzbin.info/www/bejne/b16Qcn54n62riNU

[@RosasUtopia]

Hello - what is a miracle bead?

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Miracle beads are made of acrylic resin, have a lucite core with a silver mirror-plated finish and are coated with several layers of coloured lacquer. When viewed in the light, they have an illusion of depth. They do not glow in the dark but do appear to glow in the light.

[@RosasUtopia]

@@HeatherBoydWire wow! I will have to buy some. Thank you 😊

[@debbienoble-ch6bu]

these are great may I ask a ball point figure of how much we might be able to ask for these price

[@HeatherBoydWire]

I've actually never sold bracelets. You can always search Etsy to get a ballpark for price for this type of bracelet. It depends on the materials. My guess would be between $15 and $25

[@kellynewell-oy2pf]

I would like your e-book. Thank you

[@gstunna26]

Can I use my bracelet mandrel if I don't have a bracelet jig?

[@HeatherBoydWire]

That should work LTeidra. You can use a glass or pill bottle too!

[@aacaballero]

I only have 16g wire. Can I also use the same 16g wire as the 3rd wire to attach the beads?

[@HeatherBoydWire]

You can use the 16g if the hole in your beads is large enough!

[@susanpuckett7682]

I couldn’t even complete the first twist of the wire around three times. How did you just hold it and twist it around? Kudos to those who can make a beautiful bracelet with this tutorial.OH I see now you didn’t use the 2nd 16 gauge wire to twist. You used a 3rd different long piece of smaller wire to twist which would be easier to twist around. Got it.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Glad you got it. This is a tricky design.

Hola maestra lndo dia aca en México no puedo encontrar alambre tan bueno y algunas pinzas ud vende?

[@HeatherBoydWire]

You can find the tools on Amazon. Here are my favourite tools: drive.google.com/file/d/1j4V-8zXSK1-Dh8TX1_IfCbn85PTsc4fk/view?usp=sharing

[@momlifeplansonline]

Would this design work with 18 gauge as a base and 20 gauge to wrap?

[@HeatherBoydWire]

It would be more delicate but could work if your wire is good quality. You can try this design with by twisting 18g wire: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6jWdnZseKt3aLc

[@moniquelalonde5970]

What is the difference between using aluminium or Cooper? Thank you!

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hi Monique: Aluminum is very soft and copper is more resistant. I would definitely use copper to make this bracelet.

[@moniquelalonde5970]

@@HeatherBoydWireI thought so! Thank you!!!

[@adelavelez2168]

Hi Heather long time not see you videos,,but I find this that I like it,,how are you?

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thanks so much. Hope you are well.

[@tantsotis]

Hello Heather! Very nice looking bracelet. But I'm thinking, will it stay this shape? The wire looks so soft. If it's for myself it's ok, no big deal, but if I am selling it its different.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

The 16g Artistic wire is quite strong. You can always hammer the wire for more strength.

[@tantsotis]

@@HeatherBoydWireOk, thank you for the answer Heather. :-D Very nice you take the time for me. I found artistic wire in one of the shops here in Sweden and it was quite expensive. What do you think about BENECREAT 1.3mm 10m roll ? I'm about to order more wire, still a beginner and make lots of mistakes so I prefer cheap... And I found it's like magic to hammer, feel how strong the wire becomes with something so simple. :-D

[@reneecochran3417]

Ohh I would love to do these ❤ what size wire🤷

[@HeatherBoydWire]

I used 16g Artistic wire for the base and 18g to attach the beads

[@marshalletbarham_crapps9885]

Whats the name of the pliers

[@RosasUtopia]

I have tried three times to make this. It comes out terrible each time but Iam going to keep at it. I think Iam being to heavy handed. 😂

Hi Rosa: Please feel free to email me a photo of your bracelets for feedback. [e-mail] I'm happy you are persevering!

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thank you.

[@susanpuckett7682]

Way too confusing for me.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

If you beads have a hole large enough to fit on the 16g wire, this is a much easier design: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5O4hounndV2hc0
