Russian Spiral Bracelet

[@sharonperry7085]

Thank you, Stephanie, for your instruction and up close demonstrations. You are my “go to” whenever I need to learn something or refresh my memory on a technique. I also wanted to tell you that I have a niece that I taught a few simple techniques to when she was a teenager. She is now an adult and has caught the bead weaving bug, so I told her about your videos. She took a look and loved everything she watched. So your gift 💝 of instruction to me I was able to pay it forward to her. The tradition continues!

[@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry]

Aww thank you so much 😊 🙏😍

[@icewater4725]

When I want to learn something I immediately come to your channel. I love the way you explain projects. I come away thinking I can do anything once I understand the basics. Thank you

[@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry]

Aww thank you so very much 💕🙏 Makes me feel like I’m doing a good job😊

[@laurajeanvalentine]

I've not mastered the Russian spiral yet. I'm going to try beading along with you. Màybe I can get it this way, thanks so much for being here and for always such clear instructions with all of your beautiful designs. I would have quit trying to make beaded jewelry if not for you. I am disabled and beading is keeping me sane. Thanks

[@123SandraVE]

Another awesome video tutorial, Stephanie. I found it very useful to use a dowel (or knitting needle) to put through the spiral to make it easier to hold on to. It also helped to keep my tension even while beading. I used one color of 3mm Firepolish beads, 4 beads around. It turned out great. Making a second one today, it is a fun stitch. Made a matching beaded toggle in the same 11/0 seed bead I used in the bracelet. Thanks, you are a wonderful teacher.

[@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry]

Thank you 🙏 Your bracelet sounds beautiful!!!

[@Strifentine44]

Glad to know I'm not the only one who needs a glass of wine to get the jewelry juices flowing. 😂 Thank you for sharing! You are a good teacher and your voice is soothing.

[@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry]

Strifentine44 Haha 😆 You’re very welcome 🌻

[@Sunshine66Bklyn]

Hey Stephanie, After 6+ attempts I was so aggravated because I got it at first but then kept screwing up. I was about to step away when your videos came up in my suggestions. Before I whipped out the tequila, I switched to Wildfire and different beads. I'm using one color so I grouped in sets of three. I was doing the step up wrong. Finally success and it looks really pretty. You're a great teacher. Thank you Stephanie! 😊

[@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry]

Thank you Lisa Marie🌻😊🙏 So glad the tutorial helped! Sometimes the combo of tequila and a good video tutorial does the trick 🤣🤣🤣

Hello, Stephanie! I now have a small plastic bag in my stash containing 3 of my 7 attempts at your version of the Russian Spiral Bracelet. First time-1/2 inch, Second time-1 inch, all the rest of the times-2-2.5 inches. I think it is time for me to lay it aside for now and come back when my brain is functioning. I keep dropping a stitch somewhere (which of course messes up the pattern!) Then when I go back to fix it, I get totally lost! Your directions are great for a person who doesn't drop a stitch LOL Thank you for the tutorial...it was great!

It’s been a few years since I played with Russian Spiral. Had forgotten how much I love it and the versatility of beads you can use. Blah!!!! And here’s me with only 1 workable arm. Had my Rotator Cuff done on the 16th. Beautiful as always Stephanie. Lots of bead luv to ya! Xoxo xoxo 😘😘😘💖💖💖

Russian spiral, one of my favorite stitches, done up beautifully, Steph! Thanks for sharing another of your lovely designs.

[@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry]

Beliza B Thank you 🌻😃🙏 I’d forgotten how pretty this stitch is!

[@jeilers2146]

Finished my first piece. Instead of using the ends that you used I went to the bead store and used the “pandora” style beads. They are the perfect size. And the clasp ended up being the main focal point of the bracelet. I have had the issue with the magnets and resolved it by putting a safety chain on it. I attached mine as I was putting the ends into the the bead cap attaching it to the magnet. It is a little difficult to do you have to string the safety chain through your bead work.

[@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry]

Great idea for the ending 🌻🙏😊

[@ТатьянаПрохоренко-о1ж]

I need to buy the spacer bead. I don’t have any. I will post it then. 😊

[@trudyvandeventer2673]

Hey Duck Jr. I have the thread path correct, it is spiraling correctly but some of the beads are poking out and will not lay down right. I am going to try again and see if I can fix it. And as always, you are fantastic! I can follow your instructions easily. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I will soon have my bead workshop put together and then I can work the beads in comfort. Thanks again!

[@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry]

+Trudy Vandeventer Hi Trudy 😃 If your thread path is correct then adjust your tension. This stitch tends to loosen each time you add beads. Try holding the previous stitch as you add the next. It’s a process🤣🤣🤣 They still come out wonky when I let my tension loosen a bit. Some beaders sew through twice or reinforce the 11/0’s by sewing through the line but I find it warps the piece.

Lovely!! Oh for the day I can bead again. I love how you used all beads from the dollar bead store!!!!! That is soooooo very cool!!!! And I love how they are kind of chunky too. You really have a special gift Stephanie, sure wish you had a store. Wish I had time to work with you and make stuff to sell at a store and benefit the animal rescue work I do. Sigh. Maybe one day. But this is so cost easy that anyone can do it and that is very cool :))

[@jaesrealm]

A store would be nice, but think about how great it would be if she would write a book!!! A good graphic artist could take pics of the steps for a book that would be so informative, also.

[@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment Renata 🌻🙏💜

[@rebeccacolegrove1581]

I think it was a brilliant idea to use 8mm spacer beads at the end of the bracelet! It really liked that idea because it seems to protects the weakest part of the Russian spiral. Thank you.

[@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry]

Thank you 🙏

[@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry]

Absolutely 🌻

[@sdmcdaniel2255]

I have a question about this weave. Except for the seedbeads, does it matter what type of beads use use? for example, can bicones be used in this weave? Or rondelles (if they are small enough)?

[@mary-annkieckhaben5026]

Thank you so much

[@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry]

Thank you for watching and leaving your very kind comments 🙏💕😊

[@HollyInOccitanieFrance]

If you want the seed beads & fire polished to spiral in the same direction, pick up the same color as the bead you're heading toward (if you are going to a turquoise bead, pîck up a turquoise, etc.) It's a fun stitch to make.

[@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry]

I love the opposite Spiral but thank you for this method as well 🙏

[@jeilers2146]

I love this design of the spiral. I have done Jill Weismann’s spiral and it was fine but I like your design better. Yours is a little stronger and tight design. I have a lot of fire polish beads in various colors. So I am going to do a stash buster. Thank you again!!! :)

[@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry]

J Eilers Thank you! I’m glad the video worked for you🌻😃🙏

[@ansjeloef8770]

I love it as always. Thank you for sharing this video. But, I have made several of your bracelets and used the magnetic clasps. In using these clasps I have lost two of my favorite bracelets and others have fallen off. How do you know which magnets are strongest. HELP!

[@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry]

Thanks Ansje! It really is trial and error with the magnetic clasps. I purchase most of mine on Amazon and have been happy with them. You can put on a safety chain as well to be sure it won't pull off. I typed "magnetic clasps" in the Amazon search bar and read the reviews the ones I was interested in. The few I have purchased at my local craft store have not been as strong. Hope this helps!

[@jeilers2146]

You can add a little chain on the clasps as a safety chain.

Hi Stephanie, I made a necklace with this tutorial and I love how it came out! I was wondering, could I make this as a bangle? I made one of your tubular netted bangles for my Mom and it came out great, but I wanted to use three colors like you do here. Could I just stitch the ends together like you did in the netted bangle? Thank you so much, your work is truly stunning and I love your channel!! Danielle from CA.

[@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry]

Hi Danielle🌺Thank you🙏😊🌻Yes this can be made as a bangle. It would be hard to instruct you in a comment. I will do a video on it but if you need it right away and are feeling adventurous, then try stitching the ends together in pattern as you suggested!

[@SabrineGhoubantini]

Thank you for this tutorial! Just wanted to ask if fishing line is okay to use in this project? and how to add new thread

[@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry]

I suggest you use beading thread. Either Fireline or Wildfire. You can use the Fireline at the sporting goods store as well. It’s essentially the same as a Fireline beading thread. Here is a link to adding thread video kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3a4eYGLq7Bsnrc
