Tutorial on how to make a base braided bracelet.

[@GemseekerStudio]

Hi, everyone! :) If it is difficult to work with 14 ga wire for some of you. Use 16 ga soft round wire. It will look almost the same!

[@birsen6261]

❤💥💢🪄💯

[@sherrymckinney6366]

The bracelet is absolutely beautiful.

[@chiggermagnet]

The time you have spent learning to hammer wire really shows. Loved the bracelet so much I'm going to try it. Then I saw the one at the end...WOW!

[@GemseekerStudio]

Have fun!

[@Mel-j1f]

I just love how you play the hymns ❤

[@GemseekerStudio]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@MsVintage61]

WAY harder than it looks, maybe I'll try again when I'm more experienced. appreciate the tutorial!

[@GemseekerStudio]

Use 16 ga wire :)

[@consueloyoung4484]

Thank you very much for this tutorial, I have been thinking of a bracelet for myself, now I feel more confident that I can do it!. With enough sanding, which I am sure you did, yours is the one I want to have for myself. The clasp variations you showed are gorgeous!!!. 🙏🏼

[@GemseekerStudio]

You’re welcome 😊

[@ViKee010]

At the end you said with a different decorative hook, and I was thinking how beautiful this hook was. Most would think to put the hook towards the back but this is so beautiful, it would definitely be the focal part of the bracelet. Just beautiful. I really admire the strength in your hands. I think this is either the art of someone younger or someone who has done it for years. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. 🤟🏼🤍

[@GemseekerStudio]

You are so welcome! I am glad you like it :)

[@kasie680]

How stunning! Would look gorgeous in silver!!

[@GemseekerStudio]

It will be great in any metal- silver, brass, bronze or even gold :)

[@diannebartkus9893]

Lol, You're making it look so easy. I appreciate this video...Wish me luck. Im gunna learn a lot in my attemps...it'll be comical 😂😂😂....

[@GemseekerStudio]

Best of luck! It is not difficult :)

[@jorundr1907]

Very nice one. Professional work.

[@GemseekerStudio]

Glad you liked it!

[@sharioncarpenter8293]

Thank you sooo much! I love this bracelet! And love the fancier clasps too!

[@GemseekerStudio]

Glad you like them!

[@Desbelugas888]

Good job bro, just a little advice, it would be more comfortable and useful if the clip beak was facing outwards 👍

[@GemseekerStudio]

Thanks for the tip

[@jannapackard3910]

You must have strong hands! Lovely.

[@GemseekerStudio]

of course it takes effort but I am an ordinary woman, without any special outstanding abilities. :)

[@rosalindhendricks6337]

I agree, you do have strong hands for a woman. Mine now have some arthritis and I’ve lost some strength. Your jewelry is beautiful and out of the ordinary.

[@GemseekerStudio]

@@rosalindhendricks6337 Thank you :)

[@sparklekell]

Hi I love this tutorial, but I am having so much trouble on what to do in beginning because camera skips?

[@GemseekerStudio]

You need to bow bigger parts and put smaller ones inside the bigger ones. See at 2:15 and closer 8:00

[@jefftan9800]

I did something similar but with a hard 20 gauge thick wire and all i can say after the braiding is my fingers are numb and i don't regret the outcome of the project

[@GemseekerStudio]

Oh, Yes. It is not so easy :)

[@anitaibarra5763]

Nice bracelet! I want to try it I'm just not sure if I can work with that gauge of wire.

[@GemseekerStudio]

16 ga wire will be great too :)

[@cathyrezba3132]

Oh wow! Beautiful!💕

[@GemseekerStudio]

Thank you! 😊

[@tarasmith-chewning3464]

Thank you for your video. I saw the one where you showed the double braid with the frame I thought that was very beautiful. Is there anyway that you could show how to do that one? I would be so happy to have you show that. Not sure I could do it but I still love to watch these videos. I tried this one with 14 gauge and there is just no way I can do 14 gauge it is really hard to work with. Yours turns out so beautiful!🌞

[@GemseekerStudio]

You can use 16 ga soft round wire :)

[@GemseekerStudio]

I have at least 10 tutorials to edit :) I will make the one you like but it will be later :)

[@dismutased]

Thanks for the tutorial, I made this bracelet today! In some places it was difgicult to see what you were doing and what shape you were trying to achieve, if you could hold the shape agains the white background for a couple of seconds each step that would be appreciated. But otherwise sp helpful and creative! ❤

[@GemseekerStudio]

I am trying to make my videos better :)

[@danielao9585]

Bravo! Grazie, tomorrow I will try….Have a nice Cristhmas ❤

[@GemseekerStudio]

Have fun!

[@marciapozo137]

Beautiful!!!

[@GemseekerStudio]

Thank you!!

[@samoasisifi]

Pinch fingers or widen to get zoom in or out. The prep beforehand is not needed when you see the braid close up. 6 wires, size your choice, in a proper vice. 😮

[@samoasisifi]

Had edit after going back. Some video from makers hide the fabrication and choose music 🎶 to capture audience not annoy.

[@GemseekerStudio]

It is one of my first video.

[@Paulie1232]

Stunning 💯

[@GemseekerStudio]

Thank you 🙌

[@djclements7979]

Wonderful!!

[@GemseekerStudio]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@lorrainedyer9137]

I was wondering what size is the end product. Love the design!

[@GemseekerStudio]

it is 7''

[@libiadelcarmenrevelo7856]

Te quedó espectacular

[@GemseekerStudio]

Thanks for watching!

[@shannonfox3351]

That is amazing. I would like to ask you a question please. Do you runber dip you tools so as not to leave marks?

[@GemseekerStudio]

I use a back side of hammered detail and as you see I am using a file to make the detail smooth.

[@kristibbradshaw]

Very wonderful.

[@GemseekerStudio]

Many thanks!

[@CassandraSusan]

Sorry this is late but I just saw your video! By now you may know about heating up the wire to soften it a bit. Those end curls wouldn’t have been so hard to do. Afterwards you can gently hammer it to harden it up again.

[@GemseekerStudio]

I work in my apartment. :) It is inconvenient for me to use fire. I avoid this if I can ... but you are right. It will be easier.

[@lojarockstar]

I love it! Thank u so much! Can you tell the device name that holds while you make the braid please? Im from Brasil❤

[@GemseekerStudio]

Vise. :)

[@DianesDesigns1660]

SSSssoooooo PRETTY!! Does the Renaissance Wax keep the bracelet from discoloring your arm????? TYFS

[@GemseekerStudio]

Actually , it just keeps it from tarnishing for some short time. Nothing more.

[@rhaven50]

Nice. I'm taking it you were filing off hammer marks? I madd a ring the other day and couldn't believe the hammer marks. Do you seal your work? I'm iffy about sealing it.

[@GemseekerStudio]

actually, I have almost no hammer marks because I hit it very gently with the hammer just to correct the shape. The plastic hammer does not mark at all. The file gives a beautiful flat surface and the thing looks more respectable. I seal my jewelry before sending it to a client with Renaissance Wax. It keeps it bright for a longer time. All hammer marks I am deleting when I polish it. You can use steel wool. I did it in previous tutorials. (Or rotary tool)

[@rhaven50]

@@GemseekerStudio i have that wax. Havent used it yet though. I'm using a carpenters hammer. I dont hammer hard but it still gives me marks. They file out easy though. Guess I should invest in a couple hammers. I'm learning lots fro you. It is greatly apreciated.

[@susanwest7085]

If you invest in a few jewelry tools especially flush cutters you would be able to make your beautiful bracelet a lot easier

[@GemseekerStudio]

Thanks for advice :)

[@bahcezar]

Yes yes yes thank you 🌹🌹🌹

[@GemseekerStudio]

slowly I will make more tutorials with bracelets :)

[@barnsleydroneflyer3708]

i cant see how your doing the weave, it jumps from one bit to another then the rest is covered up by the clamp at the start, which is the most important bit

[@GemseekerStudio]

I see. Sorry for that. This is one of my first videos . I am improving :)

[@ทิพย์วรรณตะเพียนทอง]

🎉🎉🎉

[@GemseekerStudio]

Thanks for watching!😊

[@eddathaniagonzalez2471]

Hermosoooo

[@GemseekerStudio]

Thank you!😊

[@williamhart4896]

Hmm 5point plaited looks good but a little loose and i agree with the other comments its a good video but fix your vice to the tabletop next video ..

[@GemseekerStudio]

Thanks for watching!😊

[@rhaven50]

Thanks 🙂

[@GemseekerStudio]

Welcome 😊

[@markmeadows6401]

Interesting

[@GemseekerStudio]

Thank you!😊

[@leilakirkdietzolsen6741]

So pretty ❤️🇩🇰

[@GemseekerStudio]

Thanks!

[@sherrymckinney6366]

What size file are you using?

[@sherrymckinney6366]

I have several files, but, none that I can file across the wire without damaging it. Thank you

[@GemseekerStudio]

you need to polish it well! Any of the files leave the trace on the metal surface :) the simple way to polish- use two different grade of steel wool or sandpaper 600-1500-2000.

[@keithletham8816]

Close up. Picture would really help.

[@GemseekerStudio]

noted :)

[@tammyuren3785]

Yes please I’m having a hard time following along to learn the pattern. Do you have the pattern in writing so we can follow along while watching the video?

[@helenw1497]

🎉🎉🎉太美了，感谢分享❤

[@GemseekerStudio]

I am really glad that you like it!

[@JOSEGREGORIOSEGOVIAORTA]

No sirve el tutorial primero no fijo la prensa a un banco o mesa y eso hizo que no se vieran bien los pasos a seguir.

[@GemseekerStudio]

In any case, thanks foe watching.

[@pixelpixelpixel3181]

good video but the music is annoying :(

[@GemseekerStudio]

I do not use this music anymore.

[@chiron591]

The music, Ugh.

[@GemseekerStudio]

As many people, as many opinion . It is really difficult to satisfy everybody :)

[@IWH777]

MAY I ASK WHERE YOU GOT YOUR VICE PLEASE; I AM LOOKING FOR ONE JUST ABOUT LIKE THE ONE YOU HAVE...

[@GemseekerStudio]

My father-in-law gave me that as a present 😊

[@davidholdaway959]

I couldn’t follow the video at all and the music is a really bad distraction

[@AngelaBrewer-vq7cg]

Mute the music

[@GemseekerStudio]

You can mute the music :)

[@vikidobe]

Always turn the music down. It is pointless.

[@giancarlocolombo9638]

[@GemseekerStudio]

J? :)

[@cccbbb3579]

hard to watch FIX VISE TO TABLE WTF

[@GemseekerStudio]

This is one of my first video. I improve them :)

[@gabrieleeisenmann2892]

Your vice is hiding your brading

[@GemseekerStudio]

It was one of my first video. I am improving!

[@sylviadoll9721]

Your instructions sucked! You spent 5 mins bending the wires but following your instructions on weaving were impossible to understand I assume you messed up so you fumbled over the problem leaving me scratching my head and giving up😢

[@GemseekerStudio]

It was one of my first video. I am improving :)

[@tomvana4270]

To much fumbling around and attach the dumb vice to something solid so we can actually see what is going on.

[@GemseekerStudio]

I gave you an idea!

[@bthomasx]

Annoying music

[@GemseekerStudio]

I do not use it anymore :)
