Absolutely LOVE this!!!. I'm a beginner but I want my products to look like a Pro made each one. 🥰 I was search for some bracelet ideas that were easily made, would fit most wrist sizes, and be unusual and made specifically for each girls personal style. These are thank you gifts for the young ladies at my Physical Therapist office. I know they're gonna love these! THANK YOU!

Dear Hummer Klein, I'm making a memory wire bracelet right now, using silver - plated wire, blue and lavender - purple beads - a mix of mainly Czech/Indian glass beads, Tibetan silver spacer beads, and a scattering of crystal and pearl beads in blue and lavender - purple. Because I dont have a bead board yet, I use a big piece of white felt to lay out my design. Also, I have a roll of Opelin strechy nylon line which is great for threading your beads onto once you have decided on your design for each 8 inches of your memory wire bracelet. You just cut about 10 inches or so of your nylon (or fishing line works just as well) and tie a couple of knots in it, and then thread on the 8 inches of beads you've decided on, and then make a couple of knots on the other end, or tie the two ends together. This way you have your beads ready for when you want to make a bracelet even if you dont have a bead board, or if you've run out of memory wire. 🙂👋❤❤❤🇦🇺

I love this Gina...and it’s perfect timing. A coworker asked me to make bracelets for her Breast Cancer walk team (walking for her sister in law) and with some extra beads I made a memory wire bracelet for myself. I bought the wire years....many years...ago and the diameter is tiny. I just ordered what you have as it is about 1/2” larger. I’m very excited! I made stretch bracelets for the team due to the high number needed but will make some wraps for others. That’s my donation!

@@aidamelendez7775 Hi there. If you have followed me from my humble beginnings last year here on KZbin, where I make videos from my very limited free time for all here to enjoy and benefit from, you would understand that I have said multiple times "I am not an expert." I started from nothing, and am self-taught. I didn't, and still don't know anyone in my personal life who beads. I purchased my materials, and learned on my own before youtube was even a thing. You have your belief system about needing to have everything before you should do something, and I have mine; which is, you can and should make due with what you have. If you don't feel like you can subscribe, that's up to you!

Love the stars and clams---nice touch!! (Hmmmm, I have some of those clam beads somewhere...) And, WOW!, congrats on the 2K sub milestone! Since I don't have proper memory wire shears, I use an old, cheap, beat up pair of cutters...then have to file down the rough edges. The hardened, tempered steel of memory wire will absolutely ruin regular cutters (that's how my cutters got beat up in the first place). You really do need special cutters made of hardened steel (harder than the memory wire) to work with the stuff effectively.

Hi Robin! I am so happy to hear that I have helped you, and was able to explain things in a way that makes sense. Those darker blue beads do look very similar to lava beads, but were electroplated druzy style beads of some kind. They came in a past Bargain Bead Box - I will try to look up the name. Thanks so much for all of your kind words, and for watching! 💜💜💜

I have the small end beads so you don’t have make a loop at the end of the bracelet, I only have one complaint with them and it is they are tiny. To place glue in them I put a small blob of glue on a post it and use the end of a sewing needle or toothpick, that way you have real control of how much you put in “you definitely do not want to put in too much glue”, I also use a pair of tweezers to pick them up initially and to place them on the end of the memory wire otherwise you will stick your fingers to them. If you check the size of your memory wire as these come in different sizes and you have make sure they will fit and not be too big. I originally purchased bead smith memory wire and the corresponding size of end caps but once I knew the size I bought them off of eBay because you can get about 50 for about £1.00 whereas the beadsmith brand is like 20for £1.99, always looking for a bargain!! Tfs keep the videos coming, thanks love your tutorials 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💕💕

I have a question. If you are using 6 loops of the memory wire you would have to set up 6 rows of beads correct. I think you said you were setting them up for 7 or 8 inches? So you would need to do 14 or 16 inches of each. Is that correct or am I confusing myself?

Hey there! I would recommend this one on Amazon, but it doesn't come with as many loops as the silver. There are only 30: amzn.to/2QqaDe6. I couldn't find a comparable gold set on Amazon with 100 loops, but I would recommend this one on etsy if you are looking for more for your money: www.etsy.com/listing/541210777/55mm-gold-plated-memory-wire-for?gpla=1&gao=1&EriniJewel_sfc_osa&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrszdBRDWARIsAEEYhreoqHSnLvo1eoHY9DqHV66v329XbYlWEBGPELBAaKnnL1lBlkBTHQ4aAodvEALw_wcB Hope that helps!
