(Tutorial) Abacus Bangle Bracelet (Video 122)

[@rowserm]

Girl YES!! Thank you. I am glad KZbin put you in my getting to know videos similar to what I watch. Have a great day.

[@emonty1]

i love that there was a problem and you showed us how to work through it......so many times everything works out perfectly....and we know that isn't always the way.....thanx for being so real

[@robertahubert9155]

Your attitude is so down to earth. And a few curse words are sometimes in order. Your braclet is beautiful. . This video made my day

[@Scorpio45Libra]

I've just recently sparked up quite an interest in beading and bracelets, etc., so I've watched a ton of videos so far. I've gotta tell ya Ruby, I LOVE your videos because your not afraid to say the occasional curse word when your frustrated. ALL of us say a curse word from time to time when super frustrated. I love it that you are just being yourself, and not pretending to be someone else. Enjoyed your video, am looking forward to beginning jewelry making when I can better afford supplies etc.

[@srvntlilly]

I have got to say, I absolutely love your tutorials. You're so down to earth. Your lessons are clear, straightforward and so easy to understand. There's nothing artificial or artsy fartsy about you. You don't try to hide your mistakes. You just plow right through, lol. I think that's what I like most about you, in fact. If you didn't show your mistakes, how would anyone know how to fix them if they made the same mistake. Anyway, I love your teaching style. You're cool, lol.

[@plants4life7]

What a fabulous idea for a bracelet. I really love the way it looks. It might be tedious to make but the end result is well worth it. Thanks Ruby.

[@LinMacadilly-vp9nm]

I like your tutorial!! It shows me I'm NOT the only one that runs into problems!! And that's a relief!! Love the bracelet!! Never worked with memory wire yet but now I will. Thanks for the TIP on using "special memory wire CUTTERS" and not my regular ones.

[@kathywoodring6905]

Just got to see this video. Loved the realism of it. Now I know that I am not the only one who gets to the point of cussing and wanting to throw things. Love you Ruby and the teaching you do. This shows me I can, I can, I can .... do this.

[@debeadgirl]

Ruby, your bracelet is beautiful! Don't be so hard on yourself, it happens to the best of us. That bead on the end won't even be seen, I would just leave it, unless it really bugs you. I love your tutorials and your very beautiful and creative designs. And although some of your work looks complicated, the way you walk us through it and explain the techniques makes it easy to understand and less intimidating to try. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@shelbymichaels7084]

Thank you for this very detailed tutorial. I watched 5 or 6 other tutorials on memory wire cuffs and none of them explain how to use the eye pins to secure the ends. Finally someone who has taken the mystery out of it. The bracelet is beautiful. I think you are a little too hard on yourself. Lol. I am the same way. I try to remind myself that these are handmade crafted items. They are not from a factory which is what makes them so wonderful and don't need to be perfect. Your instructions were so detailed that I feel confident I can reproduce it and the fact that you go over all the pitfalls is great and I am sure will save me countless hours of frustration. I will definitely subscribe to your channel so I can learn more. Your instructions are clear and thorough. I love the bracelet.

[@karinasulger7829]

gorgeous bracelet!!! ur right memory wire is tough stuff, and def a ''pita'' when it comes to working with multiple strands... you make it look so simple!!! enjoy ur tutorials!!! ty for you time n patterns Ruby!!!

[@cprema16]

Very cute bracelet with neat finishing. Thanks for sharing.

[@janicehyman8909]

LOVE LOVE LOVE your jewelry videos best I found so far. Very easy to follow. Thank-you

[@chelerutan]

I'll add a thimble for my thumb with the rest of my supply list to make this bracelet. It's gorgeous! Thank you for the tutorial.

[@danovila]

The bracelet is beautiful and I totally enjoyed listening to you. Awesome work!

[@mookiegoo5345]

Love it Ruby. You make me laugh with your frustration. Well done beautiful bracelet. Looking forward to doing this project. Thank you for sharing :)

[@ТатьянаОсипова-в2ы]

Спасибо за мастер-класс! Очень красивый браслет, супер! ❤😍👍💯💐

[@Suseka61]

I've had some rounduos for a while and haven't been quite sure what to do with them. This has given me some great inspiration and now I'm really looking forward to using mine with some memory wire. Thanks Ruby... love your tutorials :)

[@drswirlycrocker]

really nice, the color combinations are endless

[@jazz2012]

I am inspired by your video's and mesmerised by your teaching. You make me feel that I can do anyting with a load of beads and some wire. You're fabulous darling! My husband is thrilled that I've had to spend a fortune on posting as well as the rounduo's as I can't buy them here in the UK. I think it went someting like this, "You spent how much?" I reassured him that it was quite neccesary and then asked him how much he spent on his motorbike. He walked away with his tail between his legs...in silence! Hmmm, that'll teach him not to come between me and my beads.

[@SuperRocketdog1]

Hi Ruby, Mo here, you certainly had great patience!! The air would have been blue if it was me! Another lovely piece and your tutorials are so easy to follow.

[@leslietalley654]

Hey Ruby, beautiful bracelet. Thank you for showing that it can be frustrating at times. I love it! 😃

[@paulettecampbell8468]

Ruby your work is awesome and your sense of humour is hilarious ❤️

[@micuba]

beautiful, thanks a lot for sharing your wonderful work..... gracias.

[@hipknitta]

I stumbled across this video and loved watching it, especially when you threw out a couple of choice words. You're a woman after my own heart because I tend to have a potty mouth as well. I can't wait to make this bracelet. It's stunning.

[@olivia7sam]

Thank you so much! I was attaching elastic cord to hold my cuffs together. Your way with the chain is so much prettier and neater.

[@daisysantiago8514]

I liked so much. Things always happens. I love it.

[@ruthmann238]

I'm new with crafting, I love your work. Viewing your videos . Maybe one day I'll be just a good.

[@ruthmann238]

Hopeing in the future I'll be able to launch my crafts.

[@xLilGypsyGrlx]

Those roundduos are so cool!! looks like those will be lots of fun to work with :)

[@roselinprimrose1637]

I came back for another look it was great I enjoy trying to make abacuses going to try another cornflower blue and peach maybe thanks Ruby you're a star

[@alicia6940]

That's such a gorgeous bracelet, 🤩thank you so much for the tutorial. 😊

[@rosemaryprain6083]

Thanks Ruby for you ideas. Love your garland bracelet. I am going to make this one for gifts,

[@LadyCaracal]

A lady after my own heart! You made me laugh when you got frustrated and said the “F” word! Love your bracelet. I usually make a clasp to keep my memory wire bracelets from coming off. I am going to use you chain idea on my next bracelet. Thanks for taking the time to make this tutorial!

[@habitualforeigner]

An NSFW bead tutorial! Bless your heart, I'm just glad the kids weren't around. The bracelet actually is pretty!

[@aletaboydable]

Just bought my supplies for this beauty! Thanks for the Tutorial!

[@TheSilverLdy]

Ruby you sound like me when what I'm doing doesn't go right. LOL. It's a lovely bracelet and I definitely will have to get some of these round dueos and try it. Great tutorial actually because it shows the things that can happen and not always goes smoothy.

[@Annie-eMM]

Beautiful bracelet and love the tutorial. As soon as I heard the "F-Bomb" I couldn't stop laughing.

[@EdnaOliveira52]

So beautiful Ruby! Thank you!

[@HAPPYBEADER9591]

I super ( pardon pun lol ) Love this bracelet Ruby every video you make are so creative I enjoy your videos as much as teasing you lol. I just bought the roundduo beads I thought I was going to have heart failure so pricey but I love them So tomorrow I am get my wire out I have lots. Love you ruby your the best of a friend.

[@roxeeg3113]

Kudos to you Ruby! That memory wire can be a real pain in the tuccas and I have only made hoop earring with it so far. This is so pretty though that I am up for the challenge when I get some roundduos. I may get out that thin white foam tape to cover the beads at end. lol Excellant name the lady from facebook suggested. Thanks for keeping it real. Happy weekend to you!

[@gailvigar2048]

Stop It Ruby It looks Fantastic so stop bashing yourself up Please I have been following you for a long while now and you work is brilliant

[@jenniferhildebrandt4221]

Awesome! I am definitely going to make this. I'm not intimidated :) I'm always up for the challenge. I may be swearing the whole way or laughing at my mistakes, it's great fun either way. Lol Take care!

[@taliamichaela3319]

Beautiful bracelet! Perfect example why I never use memory wire.....

[@lorrainebrooks6934]

Ruby dear, bend your wire in the opposite direction, it will bend really easy. Very pretty bracelet, thanks.

[@RaynaLarios]

Beautiful job!😍

[@cindyfries2227]

Very pretty bracelet. I wonder if you could use a matching color of nail polish on the broken beads? Thanks for the tutorial.

[@kingdomcitizen4788]

I think you did a great job, thank jou for sharing, I'm going to try to make this one. My handmade jewelry are never perfect but that's what Iike about handmade it doesn't always have to be perfect because it's handmade :)

[@alekakaluna7918]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

[@roselinprimrose1637]

Hi Ruby this will be the first time I have used memory wire I am looking forward o trying you're bracelet like the style as abacus my youngster says you count like his teacher slowly but he does not mean it as being rude

[@isabelgallo7314]

THANK YOU FOR SHEARING YOUR VIREO. I LOVED IT A LOT. IT IS VERY PRETTY.

[@penelopepappas1147]

I wonder if RounTrios would work or would that make the wires too close to one another. Just a thought.

[@THESHOMROM]

Thank you. I LOVE! the pattern.

[@idibom]

Muy hermoso ❤🎉❤ No tiene subtitulo en español 😮

[@notebookluvr]

I bought a 6 piece set of jewelry tools which included a flush type cutter from Michaels Craft store when I first started making jewelry around 4 years ago. They still sell the set and its still the same price. I have always used those cutters for memory wire and they have been fine. I never understood why people always warn not to use any except those that are made for memory wire. The whole set of jewelry tools is $10 and I highly recommend it. I used my coupon and got an even better deal.

[@SuperDenise128]

It's like good sewing shears...if you cut hard wire it will put a "nick" in the blade. Then they wont' cut where that gouge is. Same with wire cutters.

[@HAPPYBEADER9591]

I hope you do more memory wire bracelets I love the multiple rows I have a lot of memory wire and you make the cutest I have seen bracelets with it

[@elainetowns]

LOL the f bomb, I know exactly where it came from. hugs!!

[@My-Ty-1]

Yes I've learned that you need patience making jewelry it's not always as easy as it seems to be on videos. But well worth it because you will create something beautiful in the end! Don't throw your beads!! Lol 😄🦋

[@everythingonmychannel482]

Beautiful bangle

[@wth5472]

you sound just like me lol, some designs are there just to piss us off Ruby, totally natural, i am just the same, im sure when im at work people think i suffer with tourretts lol xxx gorgeous bracelet, xxx

[@lisakrupsky6887]

Very nice pattern:)

[@susanhamilton8370]

Gorgeous bracelet, thank you for sharing your design & teaching it so clearly. I laughed my socks off at your advice - don't spoil your nice new cutters, use your husband's!!! I can imagine all the poor bemused husbands around the world scratching their heads & wondering what the heck happened to their tools!

[@suzannemelillo4760]

I was thinking that if you end each wire with two seed beads instead of the large duo beads you might have less trouble making your end loops without cracking the beads.

[@teresasmoot-moorer5314]

It's still beautiful...

[@Mitadbebe]

Hello Ruby, love, love this bracelet. I have to buy this round duos. I want to ask you is this memory wire alumminum, does it get rusty?

[@jeffo1110]

+Maggie Santos I believe the memory wire is made of the same material as other jewelry wires i.e. copper or steel just ultra hardened so that it will retain it's shape "memory" but I am not sure, best to check the packaging at your local craft or beading store if they have some available to be sure.

[@susanacastaneda1817]

No hablo ingles pero entiendo perfectamente todos tus tutoriales muchas gracias

[@Dawnybros]

Its gorgeous! :)

[@mari200646]

you made spit my pepsi when i heard you say that big word! hahaha!

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

TFS! I know it won't look like an abacus, but I have some 2-holed square beads and bricks on hand that I can use to do this cuff technique. My 2-holed beads are 6mm (rounduos are 5mm) so I guess I'll have to use 6/0 or 4mm beads in the beginning on the eye pin to account for the extra 1mm on each 2-holed bead. Anxious to give it a try.

[@-fiona-583]

Very interesting. Why don’t you cut all at once at the end this way all wires will be at the same length.

[@ataattosbt]

Lovely design, Ruby. And I thank you for being like me and skipping any distracting manicure (very annoying in such videos).

[@SuperDenise128]

Where did you find round duos?

[@nelidaparra7888]

preciosa gracias

[@Miss-Laine]

can I use superduos instead?

[@ladytess57]

Would be so helpful to give approximate number of each beads used. Maybe I missed that info.?

[@makyajadresim3847]

Wire aluminum? How many mm in thickness? thanks :-)

[@mystellaluminosa]

Bellissimo grazie 💕

[@karenleigh2786]

Sorry you cracked a bead Ruby, but the bracelet was still stunning!! I understand why your threw the F Bomb...LOL

[@lauragonzales4143]

Bobby pins work like tape

[@wendyflores8551]

[@aureliadevico6107]

Bellissimo

[@nhungdinhthituyet5037]

The bracelet is very beautiful, but I can find any rounduo in my country...

[@medkaro1174]

Parfait !!

[@jewelsIdesign]

Ruby I bought these beads and the exact same thing happened to me. I broke like 5 beads. I will never buy these beads again

[@lorenadelgado2711]

Coloque bien la camara no se ve su procedimiento

[@annewynkoopcarlsten5911]

lol how about putting crimp beads at end and then bending it and pray you don't break beads

[@CraftnMomma]

To be completely honest I think by the end there I would have been cussing up a storm lol! I think memory wire may not be for me quite yet, lol

[@SuperDenise128]

Don't be discouraged. There are many simple memory wire tutorials.

[@jeanettea.farrow6713]

Chuckle, chuckle.

[@ladypoppercakes]

Hello, I wanted to make the bracelet but you talked too long before really getting started with the task at hand. It is a nice bracelet though/

[@rhondateris2711]
