Make Spiral Step Jewelry - DIY Jewelry Making Tutorial by PotomacBeads

[@updownstate]

As often as I make this I always have to come here for a refresher first. Hope you have a great 2023, Allie.

Have been a Russian Spiral advocate for a long time but this is the first time I have seen this video and the wonderful finishing of the "triangles" at the clasp end. Thank you for this very creative tutorial.

[@mweatherby2968]

This was so easy to do. Also, a great way to use bugle beads and making something stunning....as is everything I have tried with your tutorials. Always easy to follow and learn. I do hope you do a multiple color video of this style as it would help 'us' visual learners.Thank you.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Evy that does happen sometimes, especially with non-Miyuki bugles. You can try putting 15/0 seed beads at every junction to hopefully lessen the rub angle.

[@ashockcor1981]

LOVE IT!!! Can't wait to try it

[@connieborg6471]

thought it was going to be hard but you made it look easy,i hope it is, its beautiful.

[@MSHARLEYDWOKEAF]

Wow I love this and must try it. Thank u.

[@NicoleAmoah2017]

Wonderful and beautiful. Love them all

[@wolfsangeleyes]

Really nice. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@updownstate]

This design is popular for summer. So I'll be making red-white-blue-gold and beach colors. This does work up easily. For my sister since it bothers the underside of her wrist I make a flat "ladder" of bugles and seed beads, do spiral across the top and ladder again going down to the clasp. Can you tell I really like this pattern?

[@Potomacbeadco]

That's great, Diane!

[@mahaskills]

Lovely tutorial and thank you so much for that. I made a bracelet and it came out very well.. I like all your work. I don't know how to show my work to you. Though I did not use the same size of beads, it came out very well and I am very happy. Love Mahalakshmi

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thanks Mahalakshmi... you can always post photos of your work on our Facebook page (facebook.com/PotomacBeadCompany). Thanks!

I am a little late to the party, but I love this bracelet and am trying to make it. I am having trouble with the "pull tight". Maybe the bugles I am using are too big (7 mm) but that's what I had on hand. I am also having to keep the project around a dowel even after about 12 rows. Any hints for keeping a tight tension? And for going back to tighten what I have done so far? Thanks for the terrific videos. I love them!

[@mweatherby2968]

Can you do a video using 2 colors as I didn't quite understand what you said on how to use 2 colors and the sequence.Thank You.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Perhaps someday we will try to do that, but currently we have a queue of about 75 tutorials to be done, so it will probably be some time.

[@patriciameza904]

I'm amazing of all what you teach and do, Something that I have trouble is about combining the colors. Woul'd you teach us, how to do?. I'll appreciate your help.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Patricia, do you mean you have problems with the colors on this piece, or on picking colors in general?

[@patriciameza904]

Potomac Bead Company About on picking color in general. Give me advices please

[@ivylady13]

Have you the problem of the bugles fraying your thread? Anything can be done about this?

[@vkates]

I love this bracelet tutorial. I am ready to start, but I did not hear or see how many feet of thread to use to make a 7 or 8 inch bracelet? Can you tell me how much thread to use approx? Thank you.

[@Potomacbeadco]

You probably need about 6 feet, but you can always use less and then add thread (we have a video on adding thread). Thanks!

[@luluhxavieramaybiong7212]

its so lovely.....

[@YourGriefandTraumaTherapist]

how do you add more thread, and how do you tie off the thread at the end of the "v"? Thank you!

[@Potomacbeadco]

Here is a video that teaches how to add thread: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ7NdGSjacybfcU

[@YourGriefandTraumaTherapist]

what did you do tie off with such a short tail? Also, how much of each item did you use? How long is the fireline and how many beads are necessary for this project? Thank you. I enjoyed the video.

[@Potomacbeadco]

From the photo, we just counted approximately 55 beads on each of 4 sides. You can make that 4 different colors, or one color, or two colors... however you like. So the total bead count is approximately 220 6mm bugles, and 220 Miyuki 11/0 seed beads (plus a few more for attaching clasp). Allie always starts with about 5 feet of beading thread, then just adds on if she needs more.

[@lorrainebrooks6934]

Please make a video with a sample of this in 3 colors. Red, white and blue would be nice but doesn't really matter what colors.

[@azarzamani5117]

How many meter thread?

[@Potomacbeadco]

Start with the longest thread that's a comfortable length for you. You can add in new thread as needed.

[@marihop5117]

Beautiful, tfs marina :))

[@RaymondNok]

i used 3mm pearls insted of 11/0's

[@bluiis911]

I am getting ready to order bugles for this bracelet. approximately how many will I need?

[@Potomacbeadco]

Not sure of the exact count, but 1 tube of each color (for a 2 color bracelet) should be more than enough.

[@lorrainebrooks6934]

Do they make bugle beads in plastic? I use wildfire and fireline and it never fails, a bugle bead always eventually breaks my thread, very annoying.

[@Potomacbeadco]

What kind of bugle beads are you using?

[@lorrainebrooks6934]

Potomac Bead Company I don't remember, they are a couple years old, but I do know they are glass. I think I bought them on eBay.

[@Potomacbeadco]

A lot of the complaints about bugles cutting thread are from Chinese products, which have been used in place of Miyuki. I would try to do it with Miyuki.

[@lorrainebrooks6934]

Potomac Bead Company I will when I can get some. Now I have to figure out what I can make with what I have using wire I guess. Thanks.

[@patriciameza904]

Another thing that I'd like to know is if it's possible to get your products, taking into account that I live in Ecuador, the costs about shipment, pay and all that concern about this matter, Thanks.

[@Potomacbeadco]

We will do a video on color selection soon for you. We ship from www.thebeadco.com at a flat rate of $14.99 anywhere in the world, so it is a very good deal. Thanks!

[@luzmarin857]

Preciosa muy li nda gracias

[@angela_perelli_777]

❤️❤️❤️

[@monicafrogs]

My thread keeps tearing what do i do

[@Potomacbeadco]

Monica Mejia You can put 15/0 seed beads between each convergence, or use 2 sets of thread. Are you using Miyuki bugles?

You don't have to do a step up?

[@soucky1]

I really love the exemple of the three colors it's Beautiful & easy to make but even if whe asked a thousand times to show the exemple as a video you always change the beads colors & this is something i don't like from Potomac!

[@Potomacbeadco]

Allie told you in the video that she was going to make another one with additional colors. If we completed every project in the same colors, we would only have half the videos, because we would have hundreds of hours of additional work. We have also explained to you before that these videos are shot in many different areas... they can only be photographed in one. Files can be sent digitally, products cannot. Rather than make the tens of thousands of viewers wait weeks, we put another image up that is made the same way. Obviously you want to see a completed image, rather than a piece, and when the technique is the same, color choice in the image should not matter.

[@soucky1]

Oops! i didn't understand Allie say she will make one in three colors & all the o process it's need to make videos so don't be exausted about my comment because you know i love all of your vids. & it was just a comment & i'm not english either so it could happen i don't i've miss words but i do my best! Thank's to take time to explain & I'm sorry if you're upseth after me,it's only an language mystake!

[@Potomacbeadco]

Sylvie Dufour No problem!

[@sararad1037]
