You have a great eye for combining colors!
Hi Lisa, thanks so much for saying that! I always think I have trouble with colors...mainly because I love all kinds of colors, that it's hard to choose. ;)
@@beadedjewelrydiva I am that was too. Too many choices! My art teacher told me that I was a colorista
very pretty combination ! those green ones are so pretty
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Love it! Looks great with the dangle....great idea, instead of a charm.
Can't wait to do this! Thanks so much for your tutorial, and the color chart is helpful. I have to look for one.

Hi Lorna, how sweet of you to say that! I am so happy that you are enjoying the videos, and have fun making jewelry -- you can do it! :D

Just finished the bracelet. It is beautiful. Thank you for the tutorial.
Thanks for the ideas to use other colours
Hi Dawn, you are very welcome. :)
Thank you for the tip on using the right kind of wire cutters on the memory wire. I've never actually worked with this kind of wire before but I ordered some memory wire from Amazon so I can make Rosary bracelets.
Isabella A Rossellini You are most welcome. I am afraid that I learned the hard way years ago, when I tried using my flush cutters on the memory wire.....
What a pretty bracelet..thank you
Hi Phyllis, I am glad you enjoyed the tutorial -- thanks so much for leaving a comment! :D

+SL Jewelers Thanks! That sounds like a really neat idea, using the paper beads!
Really nice! Beautiful, fun and makes a great gift. I can't wait to make one or more.

Thank you so much for this video!
Will try to make a memory wire bracelet. But the two beaded bracelets you are wearing caught my attention, It is so pretty! Please also make a tutorial for those too. Thanks! :)
so beautiful
Thank you, Chane! :)
This is exactly what I was hoping to learn. I am bed bound and find myself mind numbingly bored through out the day. My daughter suggested a craft or hobby. I have been ordering charms but haven’t learned any how to’s yet 🤯
The one you made for the video is pretty, as well as the multi-loop and the ones you are wearing. I’m a new sub. Thank you for sharing. ~Valerie
Hi Valerie, hello and thank you for subscribing -- thank you! I think jewelry is a perfect craft/hobby for your, and the possibilities are endless. Charms can be easy to use -- for example, you could easily use charms as a dangle instead of the beads. You could also include them in your bracelet! I hope you enjoy my videos, and I hope you have many happy hours with your new hobby! :D
Really enjoyed this video
Beautiful, can't wait to try making one!
very interesting & inspiring I am new to this & to be able to view tutorials online is very helpful thank you.
+Sheree Foreman Thanks for taking the time to comment, and you are very welcome! :D
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to make one.
Very pretty! I like the idea of the dangles on the end..but could you also just use jump rings to attach?
need to try this!! awesome!!!
Thank you for this tutorial. I knew how to make a memory wire bracelet but I had never thought of adding a dangle to it. The next memory wire bracelet I make for myself I am going to add two dangles to it.

Where can I find memory wire cutters? My wire cutters won't cut it. As a matter of fact my local craft store doesn't even have memory wire either.
Very helpful video!
Thank you! :)

nice
thanks :)
Do you need to use spacer beads or can you just use regular beads throughout?
Can't wait to try this! Thanks for sharing! :)
I have excessively sweaty hands and sometimes find it hard to hold the beads. Do you have any suggestions?
Do you think you can put charms on a memory wire bracelet?
I'm a beginner so I'm having trouble with choosing colors n thinking of ideas too...currently everything I do is all one color lol
Hi Lenita, I know what you mean (even these days I have colors that I gravitate to). Best wishes!
where do I get square memory wire bead ends?
Hi I love your handband how did you make it please share
Hi Shardah -- do you mean my bracelets that I am wearing in the video? They are in one of my ebook tutorials, if you are interested: www.beadedjewelrydiva.com/tutorials/right-angel-weave-tutorial-1-begin-the-bling/
thanks for the tutorial..does aluminum wire make a good memory bracelet?
Hi Ruby, I'm afraid aluminum doesn't make a good memory wire bracelet -- it's too soft (bends our of shape too easily).
When doing multi rows, sometimes mine don't stay round, what am I doing wrong? Maybe to heavy beads I try to keep it light
Hi Barbara, I'm not quite sure what you mean by staying round, but here are a few ideas. The beads could be heavier on one section (as opposed to all over) which could pull it off-kilter. You might also have some section where the bead sizes are unevenly placed, so the bracelet tilts in that spot. It's always possible that the problem with with the wire - it may be somewhat flimsy and so gets bent out of position as you wear it. I hope these help! :)
very very biutiful
Thank you!
what is the average diameter of memory wire to buy,,I think I bought one too small for children's wrist by mistake,,lovely video
Hi Angela, there are quite a few different kinds out these days. I usually get the large seeing as I prefer some wiggle room on my wrist. The large has a diameter of around 2.5" in diameter. But, they range in diameter from 1.75" to 2.5". :)
thank you for that info
Are you saying headpins or hatpins?
Dablkwid0w2008 Hopefully headpins! ;)
I went to buy memory wire and there are different sizes, what size did you use for these size beads?
Hi Diana -- I use the largest size of the bracelet memory wire for the ones I wear.
hi may I ask a question please and thank you? have you ever made a memory wire bracelet and used bead caps on either side of the big bead? if so how do you keep the beads from spinning around? I was practicing last night and I just couldn't figure out how to keep the beads tight up against each other I want it to look right. so I'm hoping you can help me understand what I'm doing wrong. thank you
Hi Bev, yes, I've used bead caps, and the secret is to make sure that when you make the last loop on the bracelet, you need to make sure the beads are as tight to the wire as possible. I do this by making the loop, but if I misjudged and there is too much play in the beads, I just keep on tightening the wire. Then I cut off the excess on the loop. Hope this helps!
Beaded Jewelry Diva. Thank you for your help I appreciate it
+Beaded Jewelry Diva what are other types of hooks u can u instead of the fish hooks for earrings
Where did you buy your memory wire? What size do you recommend for children?
Hi Perses, I got my memory wire on Amazon I believe, but I have also bought some from Fusion Beads. If you can wait another day or so, I just finished a video on the kinds and sizes of memory wire that are available, and you can hopefully see the size differences. But in any case, I think that the small bracelet size is the only option for children. Here's a memory wire link from Amazon, if it helps: amzn.to/2LbtQO9 Happy Beading! :D
Beaded Jewelry Diva Thank you so much for responding with various options! I really appreciate your thoughtfulness. I love your work, too. I enjoy the inspiration you provide.
Is there a gauge of the memory wire you would recommend?
Hi! I don't know if there are different gauges of Memory Wire -- at least, there weren't any different ones last time I bought some (admittedly, a few years back). But, if there are now different gauges, I would pick the thickest. Hope this has helped some! :)
What the thickness of the wire?
Neneh Mansaray Hi! Memory wire is somewhere around 21 gauge, spring-hard steel.
I have made these bracelets and I love them but I keep llosing the dangles any suggestings?
ggravesgeri Thanks for the question! Usually, losing dangles either means the loop (on either the bracelet or jump ring) isn't closed tight enough. I've also had it happen when a jump ring was too weak to hold the dangle -- I prefer 18 gauge jump rings, or very small 20 gauge jump rings (the smaller the jump ring diameter, the less chance for pulling open). I've also used two jump rings to connect dangles. Hope this helps!!! :)
what size wire is that
Memory wire doesn't have a gauge (at least that I know of). It does come in a few sizes of coils -- like regular and large (maybe even a medium in there somewhere), and also comes in ovals and circles. And finally, you can get the coils in bracelet, necklace and ring sizes. :)
Hello... Where can I buy the memorywire?
Hi Nancy -- you can get it just about anywhere. Michael's and Joann usually have it, and you can find it online at many places (for example, Amazon). Hope this helps!
What size memory wire do you use?
Hi! I'm not sure if you mean gauge or circumference, so I'll give you both. I use the large bracelet size (2.5"), approximately 21 gauge, stainless steel.
What size memory wire did you use?
