I use a clamp and clamp the one end to the edge of my work table , then I can stretch it out and it doesn't tangle up and you can just slide everything on it's like having a third hand . I love your designs.
i just started a few days ago, the beads were driving me crazy at the start until I put the beginning end in a vise on my tabletop and then I was better able to swirl the beads down, I made 6 loops. Then I mad another with 4 loops and that was easier. Thanx for the funky unpredictable use of various beads, its my style for sure!
Love your style! Big and bold is beautiful! Why not try an empty paper towel tube? Cut a slit in one end and fasten the end of the wire into it. If you keep the wire stretched out some as you slip the beads on, it should keep the wire from tangling.
I came across your blog through Pinterest. Im so glad I did. I didn't know you had a youtube channel but the old algorithm brought you right to my door.
Really enjoyed your video! Mixing metals and balance looks good! Learned a lot! I’m fairly new at making memory wire bracelets and was thinking everything had to be perfect and match! Well…….not so! Turned out great! Love how you do it the way you want to! Thank you!
Beautiful bead combo! I love how you think outside the box-very inspiring! I usually tap the bottom of the memory wire to my table-usually saves some frustration:)
very pretty.. no need to change a thing.. unless you just want to add dangles... very very pretty... I'm trying to get inspired to get back into the studio... it's been missing me for a very very long long long time.. thanks for the inspiration.
Hi Rhonda...thanks for your kind words. I have it on and am looking at it and I DO think I'll leave it alone--except for the dangles. I always have dangles on them. In fact, I still have to put them on the bracelet I showed at the beginning of the video! Come back and check us out again soon!
Absolutely fabulous looking! I have been wanting to make a memory wrapped bracelet for some time now, so this was a great video for me at this time. I luv the randomness of the beads, which doesn't come easily for this Libra to do, always fighting with that even thing! Ugh! But I do think it is more attractive and organic looking. I am going to give it a try, after picking up a few supplies from your boutique first. Thanks for the inspiration and fun! Lil hugs xo P.S. luv the new hair color!
Thanks for watching, Rhonda Lee! By all means, you should try this, it's easy. Just pick out your beads first and it makes it easier, especially if you do something random like I do.
Very creative and SO PRETTY!!! Thank you for sharing !!! FYI Chal is like Church but chal, said-do-knee with the emphasis on said and do and knee.Chalcedony 😊
I'm so loving these Bsue...texture, texture and mo texture. Or you can switch it up and do more refined, less texture. A million ways!And great for beginners to experienced...
You can tape the back end to the table and it is much easier to get your beads on. As you put them on you lift the beading end up and the beads roll down to the end. It works great.
Hello this is the first time that I see your channel. Your bracelet came out beautifully. Please keep your videos going you make me smile 😀so much . I was doing a bracelet today and I got tangle and a little frustrated. Your assistant it’s lovely in the way she help you. Stay safe 🙏🏻
Thanks so much, Celia, for all those kind words. I liked the bracelet too and sold it quickly. It was very big and chunky. I can't wait to make another. My assistant is my darling niece Javi who handles all the tech stuff. She tells me what we should do for UA-cam. Keep watching. Lately I'm doing three videos a week!
Loved the video!! I'm one of those symmetrical people who have to have a pattern. Probably because I teach Math. Lol You've inspired me to go rogue and try one that just goes with the flow. :)
Amazing bracelet, all you, every bit of it. I started using carbon steel memory wire instead of stainless steel. It's firmer and holds up and I get less tangles. Or........a thicker guage. I have a 20 guage memory wire bracelet and I'm looking for an 18 gauge. They're tough when you want a tough bracelet to get with it! Just some thoughts. I always thought I looked like Lucille Ball in a predicament when I used memory wire, laying on the floor wrapped in coils trying to fight my way out. Anyway, you always inspire and encourage us to be who we are and do what we do. I hear you and it helps!
Thanks for your comment, Trudy. My biggest issue was I was rushed all day and too much happening so I got flustered. I like to get my videos done on time but that day I might have waited. Normally this is not an issue, but some do say that they enjoy seeing what happens when things don't work out immediately. It helps them to know that they aren't the only one who has to work out of a predicament. But I can't say I've ever been on the floor wrapped in coils, that's a picture! Anyway.... So I didn't stop and begin again, I just let it ride. And it worked out, it always does. I will look in to what you mention but I'm pretty happy with what we have. The MAIN thing is that it doesn't get stretched out of shape over use and if you are careful not to use beads that are just too big for this application or too heavy, it won't. Not everything can successfully be put on memory wire, be balanced, fit right, or stretch out too much.
That bracelet looks very beautiful, but I have an idea, for the ends, I don't loo them,if you have UV resin and a UV lamp, you can put on your dangles, first then use a flower cap then a bead, on the very end, using a head pin, just use a tiny bit of resin along the tip of the memory wire, slide on the flower cap or bell cap then your bead put on your UV lamp at the ready, while holding firmly in place and ith your other hand hold the lamp over the end of the beaded end of the memory wire till the light goes off then repeat, again to reinforce, it works a treat and you can still have your dangles at both ends of one end, and it holds fast and is stronger than super glu, I've done mine like this and I've never had the problem of the beads coming off, it realy works, but each to there own, just thought you would like to know this little tip👍❤️🌺🌹🌷🏵️
@@bsueboutiques I love them that way too with dangles,,,, but super glu becomes brittle after a while,,, I've had my dangles at both ends,, and single ended too,,,, I went in to using resin a few months ago,,, and came up with the idea of using a little bit for the ends of memory wire instead of loops,,, mabey other people have had the same idea too,,, with memory wire and resin ,in fact I just got an order of some memory wire and 6mm ab crystals plus stencils and fabric yesterday morning,, will be using the paints on some printed canvas that I got, so glad about that too, any way,, Take Care and Stay Safe.🌹🌺💐💞👍
Why not just make 2 of the same instead of a long wire. That’s what I learned… I have learned a lot from you. What would you charge for this. I have made many and not sure what to ask. I’m talking about what you used. I know the pearls would be more,
Two would not have that continuous look I like. For that, maybe do a stretchy stack with stretch cord. I did sell this bracelet not long after the video for around $100 because of the keshi and semi precious on it.
Hi there thank you for watching. Yes I use the noodle bead when I put rondelles and other beads, so they can swing over and move. It's a moving thing or fidget. I love when things move in my jewelry pieces.
You probably do and don't know it, especially if you make something and it comes out. Sometimes we start out not knowing where we're going, but the *intention* is that we will figure it out! Work it like you mean to finish it, whatever it takes.
You are the sweetest and talented! Loved the video
Aww thank you 😊
You are VERY kind!
I lay my rows out first and it works great. Each row is about 8 1/2 long.
That's awesome! Sounds like it's working for you.
You could put it on bracelet holder stand. Or even a toilet paper tube.
That's a great idea! It's always beneficial to think outside the box when it comes to crafting. 😊
I use a clamp and clamp the one end to the edge of my work table , then I can stretch it out and it doesn't tangle up and you can just slide everything on it's like having a third hand . I love your designs.
Nice tip. I did struggle a bit, mostly because I had to go fast to get most of it into the video.
Great idea.

Then I mad another with 4 loops and that was easier. Thanx for the funky unpredictable use of various beads, its my style for sure!
Your welcome and thank you for watching 😊
You can use silicone earring stoppers on one end to keep beads from dropping off!
Thanks for the idea!
Beautiful mix of bone, beads and bling. It's a great look!
Thanks for watching, Colleen. I appreciate your support. I know you love memory wire, and you make lovely things.
Love the idea of using intention.
thank you for watching!!
Lovely ❤️
Thank you! 😊

Thank you, Amelia...I was going to keep it but it sold so fast, I let it go. I'll make another.
I came across your blog through Pinterest. Im so glad I did. I didn't know you had a youtube channel but the old algorithm brought you right to my door.
That's great to know that it did! Thanks for watching.
Your hair color is gorgeous!
Very kind of you...I quit fighting nature and accepted the inevitable!
Nicely done. Thoroughly enjoyed the process and finished bracelet!
Thank you so much for watching, Miss Gloria!
Gorgeous bracelet! Came out great! Great video too!
Thanks so much, Denise. I hope you will try one! And thank you so much for your support.
Really enjoyed your video! Mixing metals and balance looks good! Learned a lot! I’m fairly new at making memory wire bracelets and was thinking everything had to be perfect and match! Well…….not so! Turned out great! Love how you do it the way you want to! Thank you!
Aww thank you so much. I love mixing and matching different beads. Thanks for watching. 😊
Love it.
Love the design :))
I've always loved doing natural gemstones with Crystal, it's my favorite combo. I do more of that than anything.
I'm quickly falling in love with it!
Pt
I love that you describe this one as less wild. You're my kinda designer, ma'am.
Aww thank you 😊
Beautiful bead combo! I love how you think outside the box-very inspiring! I usually tap the bottom of the memory wire to my table-usually saves some frustration:)
Thank you!
Your hair looks great. Those gold stone beads are gorgeous.
thanks Deb! So glad you could watch today!
Well that's beautiful I wish I had found your UA-cam channel sooner

Unique and very lovely

Your welcome Lori 😊

I love your great projects!
Thank you so much, Keller! I hope you will get to try making one soon!
Great choices. Love blue goldstone. One of my favorites.
Thank you! I love blue goldstone
Beautiful job!

Not do but doe like deer but doe, my mistake 🙃
Great ideas.
Thank you! 😊
I like what you are doing. You could use a piece of painters tape to holhb ,half the circles from twisting
These are wonderful!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you so much for watching, Erin! Come check out more videos from the past....and to come!
Enjoy the work
Happy to hear 😊
Great bracelet.
Thanks so much, Lynn!
Just now getting to watch. Thank you! Answered several questions for me!
So glad I could help!
I'm so loving these Bsue...texture, texture and mo texture. Or you can switch it up and do more refined, less texture. A million ways!And great for beginners to experienced...
It IS, Pamela. You can do it anyway you like and it won't be long before you'll have a great bracelet.
You can tape the back end to the table and it is much easier to get your beads on. As you put them on you lift the beading end up and the beads roll down to the end. It works great.
Thank you so much. I will definitely try it. 😊
Love it! Thank you! 🤩

Lovely!! I haven’t tuned in, in a while, so your hair is new, snd I LOVE IT!
Hi Melba, thank you for coming, I hope you will come again soon. Oh yes, I just decided to let it go silver-white. Is what it is. ;-)
I just love your whimsical funky style book hippie dippie❤style
Thank you so much!
Maravilhoso!!!
Obrigada!
Great video, thanks for sharing!!♥️ (new subscriber)
Thanks for subbing! 😊
I find when I’m playing with more wire it gets wider even with light weight stones... what gives... love the site.
Nice to hear from you, Judith! The trick is not to pull on it hard and then it won't do that, LOL
You could also use the tape to hold one end on the table and that would work too. I love not having a pattern.
I recently stopped using the rondell beads because they tarnish quickly. Can you suggest purchasing some that don't? I get mine from Amazon.
Well I sell rondelle beads that don’t tarnish. Just check out our website at bsueboutiques.com and search rondelle beads.
That bracelet looks very beautiful, but I have an idea, for the ends, I don't loo them,if you have UV resin and a UV lamp, you can put on your dangles, first then use a flower cap then a bead, on the very end, using a head pin, just use a tiny bit of resin along the tip of the memory wire, slide on the flower cap or bell cap then your bead put on your UV lamp at the ready, while holding firmly in place and ith your other hand hold the lamp over the end of the beaded end of the memory wire till the light goes off then repeat, again to reinforce, it works a treat and you can still have your dangles at both ends of one end, and it holds fast and is stronger than super glu, I've done mine like this and I've never had the problem of the beads coming off, it realy works, but each to there own, just thought you would like to know this little tip👍❤️🌺🌹🌷🏵️
Thank you for your suggestion, I have also done this with glue. ;-) But I prefer the dangly bottom, so that's how I usually make them.

They are so beautiful and must be so time consuming when your doing them how much would one of your beautiful creations cost me if that's OK to ask
Very nice and helpful. Thanks so much.
FYI: the "ch" in chalcedony is hatd and is prolounced like a "k". It's a from a Greek work.
Thank you, Maryann!

I am new to this so I have a question. When you use a noodle bead if it is covered why is it used.
Hi there thank you for watching. Yes I use the noodle bead when I put rondelles and other beads, so they can swing over and move. It's a moving thing or fidget. I love when things move in my jewelry pieces.
🎉
BSue it's been a couple years for me, but I return to find you are still your sweet self .
aww thank you so much. I try to be the same old me. 😊
Chalcedony is pronounced "cow-sid-nee. Hope that helps.
Yes it is! Thank you. I was roundly corrected just after this video came out some time ago. ;-)
Everytime i make a necklace or bracelet, i NEED spacer beads! That means anything sparkly, or just anything to break up the ' regular beads '.
I can't work with intention. I overthink & drive myself crazy!
You probably do and don't know it, especially if you make something and it comes out. Sometimes we start out not knowing where we're going, but the *intention* is that we will figure it out! Work it like you mean to finish it, whatever it takes.
I love your designs, they are beautiful, but a little too much talking.
Thank you 😊. I’m sorry I’m a yapper.
I was told you pronounce chalcedony, "kal-sid-on-ee," or something like that.
