FREE Project: Festival of Lights Bangle

[@carentravis7011]

This is a great bracelet! Your an excellent teacher and I think it's great how you show patience and corrections when an error is made. Thank you.

[@lindasmith4268]

Jill, you are an inspiration! Your enthusiasm for all the beautiful designs you produce, your excitement when you discover how to make something particularly special, and your love of sharing all these things with the rest of us, just shine out of you. Please keep on enthralling us with your wonderful projects long into the future!

[@JillWisemanDesigns]

Thank you! I really do love it sooo much. I get super excited when I come up with something new because I just know how excited y'all will get too. It feeds my soul.

[@zivarasemani1621]

Hi I really like your projects, the method of teaching and your nice and kind face.

[@joyceharlow6583]

There are so many designers on youtube that I would like to follow but their teaching style and wannabe hollywood antics just make it impossible for me to watch them. Love your style, down to earth, not yelling or doing crazy stuff just showing off your great designs and very well put together videos on how to make them. Thank you. I am working on my first festival of lights right now. I did not have all the correct size beads so I am improvising, but it is working out just fine.

[@GingerRatsep]

I saw this bracelet in my, not so local, bead store and fell in love with it. Can't wait to make it. Thanks Jill.

[@michellecrago6679]

Jill I really LOVE your teaching style! I have been making beaded jewelry for several years & selling my pieces as well as donating to charity. I love beadweaving and have made several pieces but I struggle with written directions. This video saved the day! You showed all the steps in the process slowly & in a manner easy to follow. I made my first festival of lights and loved it so much I immediately started another. Thanks!

[@rachel79cherry]

Jill you are a awesome artist ... I love your work. Your tutorials are very easy to understand and I love that. You have gave me inspiration . Thank you

[@dlord238]

I adore how real-life you are. ❤

[@Annie.C.61]

This is a wonderful video, as much for the tip with the vacuum cleaner. I wish I'd know that one a few years ago when I knocked a pot of seed beads over on my son's dining room table. My daughter-in-law & I stared wide eyed at each other listening to the cacophony of sound as more than a thousand seed beads cascaded down on the hardwood floor & scattered in all directions. We saved most but it took us ages on our hands & knees & there must be quite a few still there stuck in the grooves of the floor boards. They've moved house now and sadly those beads are lost forever. Back to the bracelet which is so delightful & I can't wait to get started. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@ajpro76]

Great video. Easy to follow. Very poised presentation. I like that you allow your viewers to learn from errors instead of editing. You're the real deal Jill.

[@michelleadamchak1330]

Jill, I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this tutorial...you are so funny, and I truly understand your obsession to the point of sleep deprivation (been there soooo many times!) These bangles are just the cutest things and I see many Christmas gifts in the making! Thank you so much!

[@janetdavidson3991]

Very pretty bracelets! I can't wait to make some. Jill you make it look so easy! Thank you Jill!

[@emilyoneill6341]

I love this bracelet, it's so shiny and the beads are beautiful. It's the first bangle I've ever made, will definitely make more in the future. I used this video plus the printed instructions from her website. I ordered the kit on Friday and received it on Monday! Excellent service, excellent quality, and excellent project. Will definitely get more kits from Jill.

[@MsMistyWilliams]

I haven't finished the video yet, but I couldn't resist commenting while these thoughts are in my mind. Not only are you fabulous with bead work, teaching with clarity, but you are human... I always wonder if I am the only one who does these things and have to backtrack, create my own mess by trying the short cut, or the "could have been avoided" bead disaster. I used to have a hand held vacuum just to suck up my beads out of the carpet... those endless days and nights of popping beads out of the carpet to salvage as many as possible was taking a tole on my knees and back. I love you and thank you for all your tutorials and great sense of humor... I always feel at home with you. :)

[@JillWisemanDesigns]

Misty Williams Thank you Misty! Your words mean a lot to me!

[@robinsmith3469]

girl, I do the same thing when I get on a project I love!! You know you love it when you let out the dog before you go to bed, and the birds are singing and it's light out!! I'm always like, oh darn, I'll be having a short day today!!! lol. I love watching you work.

[@louisaparris2646]

I've made LOADS of these beautiful bangles and they are absolutely great. I've even made them by replacing the crystals with pearls. Easy and clear to follow.

[@marciemonteith5889]

I really enjoy your tutorials, you go above and beyond. Giving great ideas and explaining everything so well. I can't wait to get my beads so i can start making next years Christmas gifts. Thank You so much.

[@Greywolf2328]

Jill, I totally know what you mean about being obsessed with these bangles. I stayed up until 5:00 am without realizing it. I made four bracelets. . . I couldn't put the needle and beads down. I love my new bangles, I made (2) silver and black; (1) silver/grey and pink; and another black and white. I'm on the road to making many more. Thanks so much for this tutorial, they're really easy to make.

[@shaelynposey1399]

Jill, I wish all the designers were as easy to follow and listen to as you are. I have done this bracelet two other times and for some reason parts of them want to roll. Giving it a third go around as I think I may have pulled the others to tight. Thanks for the great designs.

[@SusanRoseArt]

I like the way you teach Jill, you also have a lovely voice. It's a deeper tone and really relaxing to listen to :) Thanks so much for this free tutorial x

[@lisar.porter9993]

Hi Jill, I have been watching your videos for months and so enjoy them. I even caught you on TV recently on Create. I finally found some time to try your festival of lights bracelet and love it. It is easy quick and gratifying. Please keep designing and sharing! I love your work!

[@maryskorstad2785]

You are AWESOME. Jill. LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU. Thank you so much for all you share,

[@Dangerousdebbie1]

Thank you Jill for sharing this pretty bangle.

[@joannemoody4872]

I love these quick and easy gift bracelets! This one was so pretty - like you were wearing, I can picture three or so on a wrist! Thanks!

[@dianaportante2746]

Jill I absolutely love this Festival of Lights bangle. Your tutorials are so easy to follow .I love to know that spilling seed beads and other mistakes happen to a professional like you as well me a beginner. You ideas for mistakes are so great! Thank you! Please make more tutorials!👍😀

[@pattyhopman6572]

Oh my Goodness! Jill This pattern is awesome. Thank you for sharing...absolutely Gorgeous! I can see why you were so excited.

[@lilredz56]

Hi Jill I just finished this bracelet. I've been beading for years an I gotta tell ya I usually like the large bracelets .But this one is my new favorite. I just made 1 in Indian red crystals an cranberry beads. Its to die for. Now I'm starting some more...Love them . Thanks for sharing. obtw if you get a duo that the hole isnt complete just stick the needle in it an tap with jewelry hammer,goes right thru. That way you dont have to take out an start over.

[@ardanyardm7406]

Thank you for your very clear explanations. You are one of my favorites. Please accept my warm greetings from very far away, from Turkey.

[@evangelinefuentes1359]

I've followed many different videos and tutorials, but OMG, I am so glad I found you. You make it so easy to follow your instruction. Your designs are amazing and I love that you always encourage us to us our imaginations to be creative. Thank you for the love you put into your videos and your designs.

[@prazsong]

Beautiful bracelet, Jill! I made it, using a two-needle technique, and went around the base a second time, to reinforce it (the railroad-track looking thingy). Then I went around and added the picots. So pretty, even before the bicones are added. I can see LOTS of possibilities for this little gem! Thank you for a great project. For the time invested, the economy of bead usage, and the simplicity of the technique, I'll have to say ... THIS bracelet gives you a lot of bang for your buck! Thanks again! Update: ok, so I got a little ahead of myself, and [mistakenly] put the picots in EVERY seed bead, instead of every-other. Oy-veh! Well, it's gorgeous, so I'm going to leave that one like it is, and make the next one the proper way...and wear them together! So many possibilities, and how many beautiful designs have been created thru mistakes, huh? Such a versatile design. I'm loving this!!

[@carolerunnion7151]

This is a great video. Very good instructions. You are one of the best teachers of bead weaving. Keep up the good work!!!

[@crocdor]

I love your videos, Jill. I learn a lot and I also like how in the close-ups you add yourself in small screen. I have been beading for 10+ years now and I really have a hard time with my own designing that I appreciate those designers who are willing to teach and share. Maybe soon I will be able to figure out how to design my own ideas but until then...Thank you so much for your talents.

[@148kmartinez]

Hi Jill ! Just finished making my bracelet. Thank you for showing how to make this beautiful bracelet. You made it so easy. Will be making some more. Thanks again ! You are very good at your craft. God bless

[@cyndyperlman9890]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I LOVE bangles and I was chompin' at the bit waiting for this one. SOOOOOO worth the wait! They are WONDERFUL! No wonder you couldn't fall asleep until you made multiples. I for one, could not be more grateful. You're the greatest Alice, I mean Jill ( an old school TV show reference from The Honeymooners for those that are saying WHAT??? right now)!!!

[@barbaraschneegass7894]

Your tutorials are exquisit and your voice is so nice to listen to! Thank you!

[@pamelasmith7245]

I have just completed my very first Festival of Light Bangle and I must say I absolutely love it. Thank you Jill I love your work and your tutorials so much and you too, bless you.

[@eileneschiller2302]

Absolutely loved this bangle bracelet........I can't stop making them!

[@marthakrug6811]

I am a recent subscriber. I found this site looking to make a bracelet and was delighted with the ease of the video and the ideas I gleaned to better my technical skills. I am always looking forward to new challenges and would love to try one of your bracelets.

[@victoriasmith1657]

You are doing a FANTASTIC job. I find this all very infectious, in a wonderful way. Beautiful project. I can't wait to get started!! Each week I anxiously await your next video.

[@c0y0teh0ller]

Hi Jill, just finished my first ever beading project (Festival of Lights), with the kit, & by watching your great video. In the kit I was sent 4 kinds of beads but in the video you only used 3. I ran out of the gold seed beads before I was finished. After a close look at the photo I figured out what I should have done. I also had another good look at the video & noticed that you used a different bracelet to explain the clasped bracelet, one which did have the small blue seed beads in it. I redid the bracelet with all 4 sets of beads & it turned out beautifully. I going to make several more for Christmas gifts. Your video was so clear it has encouraged me to try some more of your patterns. Thank You!

[@RosaPerez-gu2vt]

Excelent, just a master piece. Your way of teaching is just unique.

[@rionaallen3538]

I just love your work and I'm so happy to know I'm not the only one that get carried away with beadwork. absolutely love this. you are awesome

[@dianalynn0909]

These pieces are stunning...Absolutely lovely and a unique design! Just ordered the bangle kit in the Jet AB2X and can barely wait to get started on it! Thank you!

[@CalvosGG]

Hi Jill! I love this pattern. It is super easy and beautiful. I've made 3 already- two without clasps and one with for my granddaughter. Thank you for your clear precise teaching!

[@minkaf4243]

I just made one with all 15/0s...no 11/0s...and 3mm FP beads. Gorgeous! And addictive! Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@yolandawalters1082]

I am just starting to bead and really love your tutorials, I am so greatful for all your help, I love all your time you give to help me start with my beading beginings. Thank you so much.

[@jalynefidler5613]

[@pamelarice9060]

Very nice and you were able to help me finish my bracelet when I got to a point I couldn't remember. Very happy with this video and utube free projects.

[@Gcastain]

This is my FAVORITE bracelet in the whole wide world! I’ve been making these during Covid-19 to use up some beads. I’ve also been trying to use larger crystals. I haven’t been successful... yet but I’ll keep trying. Thank you Jill you are greatly appreciated.

[@NICKYM26]

I love your work and clear instruction's, and your calmness, very nice work, I love the bracelet before it was made a bangle, so I think I will make it and try to add a clasp, but you are so talented.

[@lynnesnyder2616]

Beautiful finished project, so easy to follow your directions Jill, love your site, visit it daily. Wish I could meet you in person, you are so talented and artistic. Keep those gorgeous designs coming.

[@janewalshaw]

[@JillWisemanDesigns]

Jane Walshaw Thank you, Jane!

[@heathervona7883]

Hi Jill...Love your designs...Just ordered 2 kits for these, one in Silver and one in the Bordeaux Pearl...I'm in Australia, so the wait until they arrive is going to kill me...I'm fairly new to beading and I find your videos so clear and easy to follow. Keep the designs coming...

[@MsSunshyneRose]

Jill I just joined your group. So I just found this and I love this bracelet, can't wait to make lots of them for the holidays and for holiday gifts.

[@carolfarrell4992]

Jill I love this bracelet / bangle. Your instructions are so clear. I made 3 before I could stop. I started a 4th and got finished with all but adding the top bead. I noticed how pretty the super duos were,they just had such pretty flashes of color , so I decided to make a small change. I added a 4mm on each side in colors that matched the colors in the super duos. it turned out as a flat bangle, but love it that way also. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this pattern and I hope you don't mind that I tweeted it a bbit.

[@mintishah835]

I love the way u explain, you r a wonderful teacher.I am definitely making this bangle.Thanks for this tutorial Jill.

[@joannemoody4872]

Someone needs to send the rescue dogs after me! I can't stop making these wonderful bracelets! I am hooked totally! I even had a lady at a jewelry counter compliment me on one! Whoo Hoo!

[@pittypatbeads]

I just found you!! I love this bracelet and love kits even more. You are a wonderful teacher. I love the way your video is set up and the way I feel that you are right here with me. Can't wait to watch the rest of the videos.

[@jennielilley1067]

One of my favorite bangle designs.....you can do such wonderful colour combinations and the pattern is so easy to remember once you've watched the tutorial once 10/10 and a gold star :)

[@Top2tow]

Jill, you are one of the best! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful bracelet.

[@lorrainehamilton5051]

Great video, I love too how you show how to correct mistakes eg getting a knot in your thread (SO annoying!) *lol* Am off to check what colours I've got in my Twins/Superduos bag... :) Thanks for sharing your super tutorial, can't wait to go try it out! Best wishes, Lorraine in Scotland

[@glennwozniak9149]

Love this bracelet! Much easier looking than I thought. Jill, you are so very talented! Thank you for sharing.

[@TheWiseMagpie1]

Wow. ....! That is a gorgeous necklace you wear!!

[@marynelson8740]

This is the most beautiful design. Thank you so much. I can't believe how wonderful it came out.

[@sueyardeni8602]

You are an amazing teacher, the video is so clear your directions are perfect. Thank you so much, it is a fun and easy bracelet to make. I love it!

[@maggiemae6820]

Hi Jill, Love this little project!! Makes a beautiful bangle. Thank you!!

[@daniyalaslam2373]

Wow thank you i love the bangles your instructions are so easy to follow

[@taccora]

I JUST made one of these and it came out so beautifully and you're right, to get the full affect you need to wear 3 or 4 of them at once.

[@JillWisemanDesigns]

Luckily they're fast - and like potato chips! Addictive!

[@TeeGW]

Hi Jill! I love everything you make and order all my superduos and fire polish from you. In fact, just placed an order yesterday. :-) Thank you for sharing this beautiful pattern, it's on my list of things to make. p.s. Daydreamer is my fav so far! Teri Wall

[@beefypunk]

Hi Jill. i'm a big follower of your work and I've learned so much with you. I've worked with superduos and miniduos and also with twin beads, and I have to say you're right with the regularity of the beads but the main difference is the twins are more rounded with a side rounded cut where duos have a more likely a side diamond cut. So I've discovered twins work fine when you work with them isolated but for projects joining same beads together superduos match one to the other like a puzzle so they're perfect for scalelike or braidedlike projects. Thank you

[@Stephanie_Hancock]

Absitively Posilutely Wonderful!!!!! Want to try it with Rullas. You are amazing.

[@plants4life7]

I don't have a bobbin so I always wrap the tail thread around my pinky finger. Loosely of course. Don't want to cut of the circulation to my pinky. Lol. Great tutorial. I really love this bangle.

[@karenbaird7771]

I just finished my bracelet. It's beautiful! I bought one of your kits and followed the video. Thank you. I can't wait to make more of your designs.

[@maryrossetti4975]

I’m obsessed. .... great easy project and looks awesome!!! Love your tutorials.....

[@MsMistyWilliams]

So, it is almost 11:30pm, I have unsuccessfully finished my first FOL Bangle... it looks like fringe.I used Twins, Czech crystal, and Czech seed beads because I am too poor to buy better. It is still pretty, but I guess it isn't as easy as you make it look. So, as I laugh at myself, I will tear this apart and try again. Love the video and thank you for all that you share Jill.

[@carolp1972]

Thank you so much Jill

[@galetimpone1712]

love all your projects...can wait to do this one.

[@lornalessing2080]

Jill, love your teaching style! I watched this tutorial and then thought I was "all that" and went off to make one on my own. Wellll...I accidentally used a double row of crystals on top but guess what---it is beautiful lol!! Can you say happy accident?? Learning so much from you dear!! Thanks for sharing your skills!!!

[@2012iwanttogohome]

Thanks so much, Jill! I literally JUST finished this bracelet and turned it into a triple wrap bracelet. It turned out so pretty. I love all of your tutorials. You are an amazing teacher. Now onto the sleek bracelet!

[@jcleturno]

This is a fun project! Making one now and had to stop and share how awesome this pattern is, and so easy. Love it. Thanks Jill for sharing with us. :-)

[@heatherturner9286]

Finally watched this video. Now I understand everyone's fascination with it! I can't wait to get started. Think I'll order a kit first before going out on my own with colors. Of course, I've already got color combos dancing in my head. 😍
