Hermoso trabajo y sencillo. Saludos desde Puerto Rico
Beautiful job.
Very very pretty! Thanks much for sharing your talent! Greetings,
Ellen I loved it so much I went and ordered the kit from you on Etsy! :). Before I did, though, I wrote you and asked what color bead was in the picture but I did find the color chart so don't worry about answering me. Can't wait to receive it!
Playing nurse to family members (pup included, of course) is truly stressful. Unless you have lived it or are living it, people might not understand. Please take care of yourself Tomorrow is a new day. Hopefully good.I wish you well. Oh, and the bracelets are so pretty and you make me feel like even I could make them. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing your talent, I just ordered dog bone charms to make a necklace, bracelet and earring set, she is going to be selling dog bones so this will be cute for a Christmas gift
Gail, I am so glad you enjoy the videos, and am grateful for your order, You've probably already received the dog bones, They are so cute, I actually made my self a charm bracelet with them and some hearts and angels in memory of my sweet pups!! Sorry about being slow to respond to your comment, for some reason CZcams doesn't always give a notification when someone comments. It's a busy time of year for me and I don't always think of checking in. God Bless and Merry Christmas!!!
Thank you.
I liked your video, I just started working with the memory wire and it is so hard to bend, I like your tips!!
Thank You for the compliment, I too had a hard time in the beginning, until I discovered "leverage" was my friend. There are so many things you can make with memory wire, it is amazing!
Just found your channel, very excited about this bracelet. Awesome video, thank you :)
+nancy beal , Thanks Nancy, I'm glad you found me also :-) I hope you enjoy the video's!
+Jewelry making made easy, Nancy am I remembering correctly, don't I know you from Oldsmar Flea Market :-)
No, sorry. :)
+nancy beal, Your name sounds VERY familiar, nevertheless, I am glad you found my channel also. Please feel free to request any types of "beading tutorials" you would like to see :-) If it is within my area of familiarity I will be happy to do a video.
Thank you! Maybe we know each other from somewhere else?? Maybe.
Love these bracelets, also watch the video on the earrings and love those too. How much do you sell the finished bracelets for?
Very well done. Thank you.
rowserm THANK YOU!!!!
I love to watch your work, so prety , and easy to follow instructions as well, keep showing .
I got some memory wire in the mail the other day because I wanted to make a 59 bead Catholic Rosary (which turned out very pretty). I was wondering what else I can make with the wire. I love your video and want to thank you! I can't wait to make a bracelet like the one in this video!
Isabella A Rossellini There are tons of things to make with memory wire. Especially since it comes in various sizes, for bracelets, necklace and rings. Here is a really cool page I found on pinterest of things that you can make with it.
www.pinterest.com/explore/memory-wire-jewelry/ Happy Beading and Have a Blessed Day!!!
I love this bracelet and the earrings to match. You were the first video I watched when learning how to make jewelry. I bought your kits, then have been able to make many of these. Where do you get your memory wire. I can't find the 2 1/2 size like you use except for Amazon and it doesn't seem right. If you or anyone reading this knows where to get the best 2 1/2 size (bracelet), please let me know. Thanks so much!
What does a bracelet like this generally sell for on the market ? It's a nice looking ! Video done very well !
Hi. Really love the bangles! Can I know what's the gauge of the memory wire? Visited your store but not sure where's the description of the wire itself. I'm new :))
How do you keep the tubes from tarnishing?
Very pretty!! Thanks! Hope you are still selling the kits, need practice. Fun and cool video! ⚘
Thanks Shelley, I am glad you enjoyed the video!! And yest I am still selling the kits for this bangle and others. Here is a link to the "Kits Section" of my etsy shop
www.etsy.com/shop/oldsmarbeads?ref=seller-platform-mcnav§ion_id=10149639
Pretty
Thank you!!! It is very easy to make, check out the matching earrings, I think you will like them also. www.etsy.com/shop/oldsmarbeads and choose kits on the menu on the left. :-)
What size are the Swarovski crystal beads? Size for the seed beads? Thank You. I've just started beading and I'm in love with your tutorials. Thank you so much for sharing your expeertise.
What size tubes are those. I can't quite catch it
Where can I get the memory wire from?.
Beautiful!! What size memory wire did you use? Thank you
Sinead, Thank You for watching, I hope you enjoyed the video. The Memory wire used in this video is 2.25" diameter, but I do make the bracelets in childrens sizes with 1.75" diameter-smaller tube beads (3.2X26mm) and 4mm bicones. Also have made the same bracelet with 2" diameter for smaller adults, and 2.5" diameter for larger adults by adding a few extra beads on each end. Just a note to let you know I sell all the supplies and kits in my etsy shop. www.etsy.com/shop/oldsmarbeads. HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!!
thank you very much for your words please continue to give us more tutorial for us new comer to the jewelry making world I want to retire soon and learn all I can to maybe some day have my own business, have a bless day Raquel from Puerto Rico
Thanks Raquel, I will do the best I can, but it will probably be awhile before I make another video, but I will try. I have a Dog who is diabetic and my husband just had neck surgery, so I am a lil busy playing nurse. But I do love doing it, and will as soon as I find the time. HAVE A BLESSED DAY!! OH and your package is on it's way :-)
Were did you find your heart charm?
Is it stainless?
Question: I love the style of your bracelets and wanted to make some for Gifts. Only Question I have is: Does the Silver plate on the Tube beads Wear off after awhile, or tarnish? If so, are there other affordable options to make a bracelet that still looks great after a year or two? Thanks, LOVE YOUR WORK! Very lovely designs!
Veronica, so sweet of you to ask! I don't know if you noticed but I sell "supplies" . You can find them in my etsy shop at www.etsy.com/shop/oldsmarbeads and go to the section that says "metal beads caps and charms" or this is a direct link----- www.etsy.com/listing/250328593/puffed-heart-charm-silver-12-x-11mm-ten?ref=shop_home_active_3
On the tools and supplies it doesn't have the ones used to cut memory wire...r they sold out...or am i over looking that?
Well ma'am any 1 can create bracelet with these shitty kits. It's better if u can tell us how to make on our own
You are very talented! Thanks for sharing with us. What size seed beads did you use for the adult bracelets?
Thank you so much for the compliment, This particular bracelet I use size 11-o seed beads between the crystals. Sorry it took so long to respond!! God Bless!!
dsweetie17 So sorry it took me so long to reply, I didn't see the question until just now. Thank You for the compliment. I used size 11-o seed beads between the crystals on this bracelet. Have a Blessed day!!!
@@Jewelrymakingmadeeasy That's okay. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Thank you!
The supplies used in your video, is this for the 2 1/4"bracelets? What size beads & tube beads do you use for the 2" & 1 3/4"?
The bracelet in the video is made with 2.25” diameter memory wire and 2X38mm tube beads, 6mm bicones, 5mm round beads and 6X7mm barrel beads. For the 2” diameter memory wire I use the same size beads. I just add extra 5mm rounds on the ends for the larger size bracelet so that the ends cross over each other for security.
For the 1.75” diameter the bracelet is Child size (or very petite adult) and I use 26X3.2mm tubes I also use 4mm crystal bicones with 3mm rounds in between the crystals, 5 mm round beads and 6X7 barrel beads
I sell all of the parts for the bracelets including the charms. Here are the links to what is needed.

Thanks for putting in links!!!! I went to your site and was lost trying to find the supplies needed for this project! I wanted to do several of them, so didn't need the kit. I like this better than the adjustable bangle style ( alex/Ani) type.
I tried to answer your ? about tarnishing and for some reason it would not post. So I am going to try to paste it here.
(Hi Ann,
Thank you for the compliment!!! I'm glad you like the bracelet. Now to answer your question, Both Sterling Silver (.925) and Silver Plate Can and will tarnish when left exposed to the air. But you can prevent this by keeping it in a small zip lock plastic baggie when not being worn. Now about the "wearing out", a few things can cause this to happen, one is if you don't protect the silver when not in use it will tarnish which will cause you to have to clean it too often by Rubbing a "cleaning compound" on it. Eventually after a few cleanings it will wear off the plating.
Also I THINK ?? (it has never happened to me) a silver plated bracelet that is a really tight fit and will constantly be rubbing your skin will probably wear off the plating. But that should not happen with a bangle. The memory wire used comes in 4 sizes, child (1.75" diameter) small adult (2" diameter) adult (2.25" diameter) and larger adult (2.5" diameter). As far as "affordable" I think this is it. The tube beads do come in Sterling Silver, is quite a bit more expensive, and also does tarnish. It's not actually the silver that causes tarnishing, but the metal it is mixed with. .925 Sterling Silver is still not "Pure Silver" and is mixed with other metals. From what I understand "Pure Silver" does not tarnish, but VERY expensive, and I don't think tube beads are made from it. I believe Pure Silver is pretty soft and that is why it is mixed with other metals.
I hope this information is helpful, sorry if my answer was a little long, but I was never good at "making a long story short" LOL!
HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!!!)
In response to your not being able to find the parts on my site.....For the memory wire you will find that under "Stringing material" (under ITEMS, on the left side of the page, just down a bit), and the metal beads and charms will be under "metal beads, caps, and charms" and the crystals just under "beads" :-)
Hi Ellen, love your videos. Thank you for sharing. If you don't mind me asking, what do you charge for your bracelets @ shows? TYIA :)
nancy beal..... Hi Nancy, Thank you for the compliment. These bracelets are very popular. I don't do shows anymore, but if I did these particular bracelets would be $8.50 and the do it yourself kits would be $7.50 just as they are priced in my Etsy shop. However I do know others sell them upwards of $10.00 and $15.00, which is understandable if they are paying retail for the supplies.
Thank you Ellen. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. :)
Great video tutorial! The tube beads 2 x 38 mm that are shown, appear to be the size used for the child's bracelet, which size did you use for the adult's?
Brass Heavens, The 2 X 38mm are the curved tube beads used for the adult bracelets. The childrens bracelet I use 3.2 X 26mm curved tube beads. I hope this clears things up for you. Thank You so much for watching my video, I hope you enjoyed it and hope you subscribe. Have a Blessed day!!! Ellen
Thank you so much for the clarification :-) ...Yes, I have subscribed too!! Love your tutorials!!
vorrei sapere,per favore, il tipo di filo metallico e' stato usato e di quale spessore .Grazie

where do you get your charms n do they come in sterling silver. i need all silver in sterling silver. n does any charns like this exsist in 14k gold
Sorry Candy, I do sell the charms and I do not have or know of any in 14kt gold. You can buy charms in sterling silver. I suggest going to etsy.com and just typing "sterling silver charms" in their search box. I Hope you find what you need. Blessings! Ellen

If you are buying elsewhere the size wire is 1.75" diameter and the tube beads are 26X3.2mm's for childrens. I also have packages of the memory wire and the two different sizes in tube beads listed in my shop. I hope this is helpful :-) HAPPY BEADING!! ...........Ellen
Hi what the thickness of the wire?
Neneh Mansaray The memory wire does not state the thickness. All memory wire is sold in diameter size such as 1.75 inch, 2 inch, 2.25 inch and 2 1/2 inch for bracelets. It comes in packages and is like a slinky. It is very strong wire that maintains its circular shape and can only be cut with a very strong wire cutter. Any other jewelry wire cutter will break, or chip. Look at the second picture on this listing of memory wire in my etsy shop to get a good idea of what it looks like.

i wanted to buy something but it says not sending to the netherlands?
Ellie, My apologies, I have not listed shipping to the Netherlands because each postal code outside the U.S. has a different $$$$ shipping charge. If you could let me know what your postal code is, and what it is you wanted to order I could do a "Reserve" listing with the correct postage amt. Then I can post it for you (with your name on it) to purchase. And it is best to communicate that information through my etsy shop at www.etsy.com/shop/oldsmarbeads
You tube does not send me notifications of messages :-(
Blessings
Ellen
@@Jewelrymakingmadeeasy ithink its 31 for holland?
@@ellienorder520 I have done a little research and am having a problem finding out how much the shipping would be. As in the U.S. the weight of the order is taken into consideration, the heavier the higher the postage price is. Also I've learned from other Etsy Vendors who live here in the United States and used to ship to Europe and other countries that there are also Customs charges and VAT fees,., I and Etsy cannot charge a customs fee and the customer is responsible. Your package would be held in customs until these are paid and I am unable to even know what these charges are, therefore cannot tell you.
I wish I could be more help but the information so far is available to me. It might be much easier to purchase from etsy Vendors that actually live in Europe.
Sorry!! :-(
Hi my name is Raquel I live in Puerto Rico I when to your shop to buy this kit but the shipping is more then the kit I was going to buy so I did not order it as a matter of fact I was going to buy two different kits I was also what to point out that in your tutorial which I really like as you are showing how to do the bracelet I can not see what you are doing I really like your tutorial
Raquel, My sincere apologies. Let me address one issue at a time,
First I am truly sorry about the shipping costs, when shipping international throught the U.S. Post office it is very expensive. And without a zip code of where it is going to I can only estimate the furthest point (which is the highest price). Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States, and since it has not yet been incorporated into the U.S. therefore it is considered "International Shipping Rates" as far as the U.S. Post office. I'm afraid I have no control over that. If you would send me a message through etsy, and let me know exactly what you want to order, and what your zip code is, I can look up the shipping rate to see if you would get a better price. But I assure you that even though my product is fairly low in price, I cannot pay the shipping costs myself. And it would probably still be pretty high.
Secondly, This was/is only the second video I had done. I am fairly new to this so I do make mistakes and I see that a lot of times while I am working I am pulling my hands out of the cameras full frame. You do actually see most of it if you are enlarging your screen on a desktop computor, but otherwise you are not seeing the full frame.
Third, I thank you for complimenting and your critique. It is always appreciated. Compliments help to encourage me, and critique helps me to try to imporve my tecnique. I love beading, and I love sharing, but I must admit I use a pretty inexpensive camera as that is what I can afford.
Last of all if you would be so kind as to tell me your zip code, I can get a better estimate of what an average size package would cost to mail to you and let you know. But again, I apologize, but I have no control over the post office, even tho technically P.R. is considered part of the U.S., the Post office charges international rates, I do not make money from the postage at all.
I appreciate your watching my videos, and hope that you can find similiar materials in P.R. so you can follow along, and as I said I try to make my videos a little bit better (visually) each time. I am still learning how to make you tube videos :-)
HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!!!
Hi Raquel from Puerto Rico I am so sorry if I offended you in any way and I really appreciate your explanation for both of my question I am a beginner myself and I want to learn all I can about jewelry making and I just love it can You tell me your location office here is my zip code 00735 as a matter of fact I just place an order with you and the shipping was very reasonable I paid thought PayPal I will be seeing all your video thank for being there for us in comers.Many Blessing for the Lord
Hi Raquel, it's nice to hear from you again, and Thank You for your order!! Please don't worry, you did not offend me. I do appreciate comments and definitely criticiszm. I can't say I always felt this way, but as I got older I learned that with critique, we have the opportunity to analyze ourselves and decide if we can be doing something differently, or better. Sometimes yes, and sometimes no. But most of the time it is well worth listening to, So I do, as I said appreciate it.
Again, THANK YOU! and GOD BLESS!!!
