This is EXACTLY the tutorial I’ve been looking for. You’re a great teacher, you explain the steps and why you need to do them and what the parts are for. Someone new to jewelry making would never know what the crimp bead or the clam shell was used for. Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words Ariane! Here's the written how-to on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/make-a-bracelet/ And we're here if you have any questions. Cheers, Jennifer & Kitty
Wow. Using the clamp looks much easier than the way I've always done it. I always saw them in Hobby Lobby but never knew the use of it. Thanks so much! Next time I go in there I'll have to get some.
We love the Bead Bug! So easy to use. Of course, if you don't have one yet, you can just fold a piece of masking tape over then end of the wire to keep the beads from sliding off. Here's the how-to for this project: runningwithsisters.com/make-a-bracelet/ Cheers, J&K
Very nice colors, textures and designs for your bracelet. I've been making Endless End bracelets in the past but with the new STEEL FINDINGS I can move into this kind of more traditional clasp finishing approach 👏 . Jewelry making has evolved so quickly over the last few years and the possibilities are truly amazing nowadays 👏.
Oh my God!! I bought the same thing, thinking of keeping the same way as it came. I was leaning more towards the necklace, but I think the bracelet looks far better.

Yes! Just make sure the crimped tube fits inside the clamshell bead tip. Here's the how-to on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/make-a-bracelet/ Cheers, Jennifer & Kitty

I always have a problem closing that second end. I'm going to practice as I watch your video.
Great idea to practice. The second end is definitely the challenging one. Good luck!

Total gorgeousness!!! 😄
Thanks Diane! We love how it turned out!

Can a crimp tube be used instead of a crimp bead?
Yes! Just make sure the crimped tube fits inside the clamshell bead tip. Here's the how-to on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/make-a-bracelet/
