Wendy, It doesn't matter if the bead spins when you're wire-wrapping a loop over it. It will do so until the end when you cinch it down. As long as you're holding the loop itself tight it will remain in place. The sound does seem some better, with the external speaker maxed I no longer have to turn off my (much-needed) fan, so that's a big plus. Yay! I agree, you can get findings anywhere inexpensively, give us more beads and focals! This is a beautiful design, and I love the closing! Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas!
It wasn't the bead spinning that I was commenting on. It was the wire that I was tucking down with my pliers. It spins and is difficult to get it tucked in sometimes. That happens no matter where you hold the wire.
🦋I adore the bracelet and that you showed us how to make the slider clasp. 🦋I had a really hard time wire wrapping, until I discovered it was so much easier if I used a longer piece of wire. (I am on a very spartan bead budget, so I cringed at the thought of wasting even an inch of wire.) With the extra lenghth you can bend the very end so that it wont slip out of the grip of the pliers and it gives you clearance when passing around/under the pliers gripping your loop. If you have strong enough fingers you can do it by hand (if using 22-gauge or thinner wire or softer wire.) 🦋
Beautiful bracelet. I haven't got any bronze tube beads, so I've made one by coiling some bronze wire. I wasn't sure at first if it'd look ok, but it dose, so I'm going to do that more often. Thank you for sharing 😊
I would have to use longer pieces of leather so it's easier to make those knots. I would get too frustrated trying to knot such short pieces. LOL...love it.
Wendy I have the exact same problem hanging onto that loop. Nothing seems to work for me. You’re not alone in that at all. I get in a right fankle!!! 😬🤣
I loved this months box but was upset with those disks when I couldn’t get a jump ring in them that was a waste for me. And I’m with you I think more of the good stuff one can always buy jump rings and things like that as long as they keep giving us chains lol love the bracelet it is so beautiful. God bless and I hope your move was great
I received my first order from Bargain Bead box & this was it. I made a necklace with it. I liked the shiny rondels & the butterflies. I included the purple & white beads I made with the polymer beads. I love what you did with this bracelet & the filigree added a nice touch.
I love the lavender color. It reminds me of keynote. I'm not sure that I spelled it correctly but it is such a beautiful gemstone. And your piece is gorgeous. 🤗💖
