How to Make Alex & Ani Inspired Bracelets

[@mswetra2610]

You can also "borrow" wire cutters from the household tool box till you get some for your jewelry supplies. Thanks foe a great tutorial ❤

[@Potomacbeadco]

I love this tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I had been looking for a good video for this type of bracelet. Your directions on doing this were so clear and I could understand clearly what to do. I am going to use this technique also to make rings. Thank you again!!!

[@LisasLifeThenandNow]

Love this!

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thank you so much

[@barbararivera2380]

Thank you. Excellent. You did it in 15 min. It would probably take me 5 hours lol!

[@Potomacbeadco]

You can do it!

[@rubyweymouth6843]

Thanks for sharing👍U inspired me to give it a try🤗

[@librariall]

This is the best instruction I have seen for these. Thanks! Touches on all the details, too.

[@Potomacbeadco]

[@tleatherwood5687]

Thank you for this video. Question, what is the thickness of the memory wire?

[@lupitareyes7286]

Nice tutorial and thanks for sharing But you were out of camera for a while

[@glittergirlglory4320]

How many turns do I use for a 5 and 1/2 inch wrist, and a 7 inch wrist for some friends

[@jmp1329able]

Hi. Thank you for answering my previous question. I have 1 questions. What gauge is the memory wire? Sorry, very new to these jewelry making jargon :)

Allie is awesome !

[@echoandmeaservicedogslife3300]

Hi Allie another great tutorial and great instructions I was wondering how do you measure the memory wire you said twice as big as your wrist I always have trouble making it equal on both sides I have the two 1/4 & the child size memory wire

[@craftygirlsrock]

Very nice

[@melissab9209]

I bought the 2.25 and I agree, it's a bit too large. I wish I'd have gotten the 2 inch instead because even with the spring back, they stretch out just a tiny bit.

[@maryanntsompanas8548]

Your tutorial is very good except some of it was off camera. Especially when you are doing the wire loops.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Doing wire work in a 3x4 inch camera space is like playing a baseball game in a prison cell.

[@MsCoopersCoop]

good vid

[@prettyblimp]

hi, great tutorial, thanks, just wanted to ask: do the end loops scratch skin? cheers

[@Potomacbeadco]

No, because the cut portion is folded in upon itself to make the loop.

[@QueenBreNaturally81780]

Is there a picture tutorial for this? Mine isn't coming out right

[@jmp1329able]

Absolutely love your tutorial! Just 1 question, do we need a memory wire cutter or just a normal wire cutter will do?

[@Potomacbeadco]

Memory wire will over time destroy regular wire cutters. If you have a scrap wire cutter that you don't care about, then you can use that, but otherwise, I would get a special memory wire cutter.

[@SharonE333]

I use a lot of Craftsman hand tools, cutters, they work really good and take rough use. And they can be replaced free within a years time., as many times as needed.

[@luvdemgemsjewelrydesigns2585]

Beautiful, however, the last part of this video(an important part) was not in the camera.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thank you so much. We are very sorry if it was not clear.

[@rd6897]

Hi! May i ask the thickness of the memory wire used?

[@albakambouris8067]

What gauge is the memory wire? thank you

[@flyhigh513]

Hi would be nice if you can make tutorials on their new cord pulling bracelets ☺️

[@Potomacbeadco]

We will take a look

[@nigmetkirkaya9643]

Ççok. Guzel Başarılı

[@lindyhawthorne2164]

im having a terrible time trying to make these. I get totally confused when it comes to which way to bend the wires and just as you were doing the last one, it went out of shot, so im still totally and utterly confused. Any ideas to help me.....please. Im very BAD with trying to follow and figure out about directions like which way to turn the loops etc, so I think that is why I am having a horrific time trying to understand it.

[@chrisallen1934]

Lindy Hawthorne it looks like the loops need to bend in opposite directions. One bent toward your fingertips and the other toward you elbow. Hope that helps.

[@shakmommy]

sooooo annoyed that the parts I really need to see are off camera

[@sam5miy]

I've tried memory wire pieces in the past and I found that the material looks awful in just a few weeks it starts to turn colors and tarnish. Is this just the norm with memory wire or are there different types I should be looking to use?

[@Potomacbeadco]

+Samantha Smith Do you know what brand you were using? That should not be the case for the Bead Smith brand.

[@sam5miy]

+Potomac Bead Company I used beadalon from Michaels

[@lilybellsoto8461]

Samantha Smith

[@MsMacy-yi1sx]

same problem! Samantha, did you try the Bead Smith? Curious how it worked for you?

[@myriamsaleh564]

[@Potomacbeadco]

[@tracymitchell453]

I see you a another day

[@debbiethompson9531]

Couldn't see how u were bending your wire you were away from the camera

[@chrisallen1934]

The audio on this video is super helpful and instructive, but I'd recommend replacing the video so that people can see your hand work with your pliers and wire. We're missing the critical part. Thanks!

[@Potomacbeadco]

Hi Chris, not sure what "critical part" you are referring to... in briefly checking over the video it looks like hands are in frame 99% of the time. That is actually quite a challenge with wire working, but can't really find major problems that would require a remake (considering there are over 100 new videos in the pending queue)

[@lishol7]

I can't believe how hard this is! The video is clear but u can't translate this to reality. (sigh) maybe it's because I'm left handed. The first turn is fine but the second one is backward every single time.

[@imdurmac1]

yes, keep your work in view of the camera.

[@bevbarbee148]

Good video, but your demonstration is out of the cam zone sometimes

[@NanaTexido]

Out of camera....

[@doraharrison1642]

would be nice to see everything without you working outside the camera range

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thank you for your comment, we are always looking to be better!

[@iseejewelz3874]

[@lindagasca2147]

Talked to much lost interest in video
