Hi, Jill and others. About the blocked holes in superduos: I've worked with a lot and found that in the faulty ones, it's just one side of the bead surface that is filling the hole. For me, it has worked 100% of the time to very gently twist the point of a bead reamer in the hole, and they open right up. Another tiny twist to smooth any roughness -- especially if you're using thread rather that wire -- and bingo! Hope this works for others.
Thank you again Jill for another wonderful bracelet (and necklace) project. I'm going to check out my super duo colors and make one or two today. I'm so excited. This will be a quick and easy, wrap bracelet. Exactly what I was looking for!
I made bracelets in this pattern on elastic thread. I found it difficult to get both strands tied so that they had the same tension. I was going to try some with thread, but I love the idea of using the SoftFlex wire. I can't wait to try it! Thank for sharing.
Oh cool! This reminds me of your festival of light bangles. I like the wrap idea. Thanks for sharing. I think I spend way too much time watching these videos, but no I am not stopping. :-)
This is one of my favorite designs for gifts. And, beaders, Jill is correct. Check those holes on your super duos. I purchased my first batch from a favorite vendor. She was very frank with me; you will have some beads where a hole is blocked and even an awl won't help. I sat with my three tubes in front of the tv one night and went through each, one by one. I lost about one every forty beads. Those went into my Wonky Bead jar. I'll find a use for them somehow. (I did have two that I ground out with the awl but the bead wasn't very pretty. I used them hidden under my clasp and no one will know the difference...Uhum)Enjoy!
You are one of the few designers that I enjoy watching. Thanks a lot. Do you have any videos using the super uno beads? I messed up and ordered them instead of the super duo ones.
Hello Jill, This Superduo Wrap Bracelet is Really Cool ! Thank U for sharing ur Vedeo & TIPS. Ur instructions r so Easy to follow. Can u also do a vedeo on matching ear tops ? That would be superb! Bye & T.c..
Hi. Can you give any indication as to how long to cut the soft-flex for a double wrap, 7" bracelet? Please? I'm afraid to cut the wire! Also, someone asked what size soft-flex you used. Thanks!
I love this bracelet. I'm having a hard time getting use to using thread to stitch. I'd prefer a little stiffer product like a thin flex wire. I'm just having issues with it looking too stiff where the toggle goes. Maybe you tip of only running it through the crimp 3x might help a little. I was very interested in how to make the braclet that you see when you select the video. Is there a video for that one. I'm interested because, 1st of all, it's gorgeous, 2nd it looks like you made a loop out of beads and a button goes through it. I wanted to see what type of stringing material you used and how do you think the loop will hold up with the button going in and out so many times or is it just loose. Sorry for all the questions. I've just discovered you because I've been looking up videos on bead stitching. I need beginner projects. I sell my jewelry most of the time to help hubby financially. Im a stay home mom. Anyway, since I'm not use to using Fireline or Wildfire, ( I have both) im so worried its going to break on a customer because its just a string. I've made jewelry for 10 yrs, but I've only worked with base metal making rosary style loops or chain on everything. It's time for something fun and new. Thank you for your great videos.
Hello, Jill. Would you think of putting together a video in which you discuss the different types of beads? I do not know the difference between the categories, such as delica, seed, hex, etc. Thanks!
Hi Ms.Jill!!! Love this tutorial. I do however have a question? I have used a fine,and a medium soft flex and no matter which one I use it starts getting weird shapes in the bracelet. Is there something I may be doing wrong? I guess the best way I can describe it as being wonky lol. Any advice would be awesome!!! Thanks for all of you great tutorials. Jenny!
you could do with fireline i asked on Facebook. if you want do with soft flex julie answer me this: I bought the .014 inch diameter 21 strands. have a nice day!
+Angela Byers The one that is already completed looks like it might be Magic Blue Pink Super Due, with black 11.0 seed beads. That's what I used for mine. I also used a cobalt blue 14x8mm rondelle for the button, stringing the wire up through a super duo on top and looping it back through. 85 super duo's in all (incl the one capping the rondelle) for a 5 3/4" wrist, (a teensy bit short unfortunately). Next time I'll cut a bit longer piece of wire , adding a few more super duo's and seed beads.
Hi Jill thanks for the tutorial.....I would love to make this with the loop and button, I there a pattern or would you be able to tell me how to make the loop please? Thanks and love you tutorials by the way!
I was wondering the same thing since I have a button I like. I am just getting started so I haven't committed to anything yet but I was thinking to make a simple loop with the softflex and 11/0s then tie on some thread and work peyote around that loop a couple times. Its hard to tell but I think that may be how Jill's bracelet was done. Edit: I finished my bracelet and I just made a simple loop using crystals and 11/0s and it came out great!

You can dress it up, or dress it down. It's a beautiful bracelet, and makes up quickly!

Hi Jill,
I love the wrap bracelet look. What size Soft Flex did you use? Very Fine, Fine, or Medium?
you could do with fireline i asked on Facebook. if you want do with soft flex julie answer me this:
I bought the .014 inch diameter 21 strands. have a nice day!
It there a reason why you use wire on this project and not the fire-line? Please explain...Thanks Jill.
I was thinking that as well.
what size soft flex do you use for this bracelet?
I really love the color of the super duos. Can you tell me where and what the color is?
