I love wire guards. Nothing worse than creating a beautiful piece of jewelry then having it break from wear. Thanks Allie
Love the finishing touch of wire guards. I’ve seen another UA-camr embellish them by stinging 15/0 seed beads between the closed part on top of the loop. It’s an added finishing touch and helps prevents going through the guard too many times. I haven’t tried embellishing the guards like this yet, but do plan to. Never really realized how important they are until watching this tutorial.
Really appreciate and learning a lot from the Better Beaded series. Thanks!
Thanks, Michelle!

I love using wire guards to give my project a more polished look. Now i will experiment using a larger sized wire guard for more the one wire---good idea.
Good info concerning wire guards-I have used them on both earrings and bracelets--they were included in the purchased kits--and I was pleased with the look and feel of them. Thanks Allie, for the info.
Loved the information!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for letting me know that you can close a wireguard I wasn't aware of that and also I wanted to thank you for your beautiful pieces of jewelry you're very talented have a good day
Glad I could help!
Something new to me, but I think I'm going to love using them. Thanks so much for the lesson.
No problem!!
Great advice!
Thank you so much
Thanks, Allie. I used wire guards for the first time today! Love your necklace and I'll check out the video tutorial. Thank you
You're welcome, Cindy.
This video is perfect for anybody who is thriving for excellence. The difference is in the small detail. Thanks a million, Allie. I also have a question for you. What is the pattern for that necklace you are wearing in this video? Do you have a tutorial for it? Thank you in advance.
Thank you so much and you can find the necklace tutorial here : www.potomacbeads.com/anytime-necklace-tutorial
Good video. I haven't done beading in a while so I want sure I remembered how to use them.
Oh, and as I was watching, I realized I just purchased some beads from your Etsy store! 😊
Wonderful!
Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you for the instruction. I try them sometimes. One clasp I use is the square magnetic clasp on bracelets. My 86 year old mother in law has a hard time clasping other clasps and she loves the square one because one side fits into the other side so they do not pull apart easily so she loses it, but fits together very simply and securely. One problem is that clasp has small holes and I haven't found a wire guard yet that will fit into it. If you have that clasp could you see if you have a size of wire guard that will fit into that clasp hole? If you carry that size wire guard I would love to buy them from you. I do love these instructional videos. I am learning a lot. Thanks. 😊
thnx, always helpful👍
thanks, you answered to my question on wire guard
Thank you.!
You're welcome!
I was wondering if the wire guard had to be a certain size depending on the size wire you use....
Thank you very much for sharing information with me.

Our pleasure. Thanks for watching and joining us.
Can you do a tutorial on how to use the wire guards along crimp beads and bead covers, please?

THANKS FOR INFO
What kind of spiral rope is the blue and green rope in the video?
Seu colar estar lindo!!!
Hi Allie. Thank you. I would like to know when to use the different sizes and with what thread or wire.
Hi Francine, we just stock the one size because it can hold two or three strands of thread and one strand of beading wire, which is sufficient for most projects.
Love your necklace! Can you show us how to make them? Please.
The necklace I'm wearing in the video is the Anytime Necklace:

What size wire guard is best with deli as?
we like to use a 4.5mmx4mm
Is this really necessary for very dainty gemstone necklaces (17" 2-3mm) if the wire that is used is 19 strand by beadalon?
Also 19 strand is not the thickness, it is the bendableness and strength. Most likely she is using .015 in size. It is not necessary it just gives a more polished look at the end.
@@Potomacbeadco I'm actually using 0.012, wasn't sure if the coating of the wire is easily damaged or not. Thanks
Didn't show how to attach them
Hi, you can watch this video on how to attach the wire guards: ua-cam.com/video/Rw0tRbayBYE/v-deo.html
