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. 🙂👋❤❤❤🇦🇺

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.

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!!

Hi Gina. Do you have a particular gold-tone bracelet memory wire you use/can recommend? There are so many to choose from and I love the silver-tone one from Amazon. Thank you in advance.

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!

Oh wow!! It came out beautifully!! I forgot that I bought a memory wire kit off of Etsy a while ago! I need to find it and make it!! How would you do a ring in memory wire? Tfs! 💜
@ORCHIDandOPAL6 жыл бұрын
Thank you!! You would use tiny beads, like seed beads for a ring. I haven't actually tried yet! :)
