Between this episode and the one about making your own findings or clasps I know 90% more about beading than I did before.

I'm a Jewelry Maker and I love to watch your videos. With me already knowing most of the stuff I need to know to make my pieces, I still learn something new with your videos and I love that!!
Thank you so much for your support! I'm happy we are still able to teach you new things!
I use bracelet memory wire to make earring hoops.
Good job presenting info on memory wire, thanks
I love this Better Beaders Episodes!! I would really love for you to do one on Seed Beads - sizes, differences between brands, Delicas, etc. Thank you in advance!
This suggestion is highly appreciated, Evelyn and we love to work on it.
I would also, I don't understand how they are sized and the best way to use them.
Great idea with the candles!!
I've had memory wire for over a year but was never sure how to use it. Thanks for giving me the knowledge to try it!
Well this is the perfect time to use it, Linda ^_^

Using memory wire I made a wrap around anklet for my granddaughter. It wrapped 3 times. Worked perfectly.
Surely your granddaughter loved it, Janice! We would love to see it on our FB page ^_^
Hi Janice, what a great idea, using the memory wire to make an anklet! I would love to know what size of memory wire you used, although I'm assuming that it must have been the largest bracelet size? I would love to make one for my niece Frankie, who just turned 13 a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for sharing this with us. Merry Christmas to you and your family, from Amanda in Australia xox
Thank you! A lot of information!
Glad it was helpful!
I wish I knew this about the memory wire cutting pliers years ago, I ruined so many regular pliers from myself and also from the toolbox from my hubbie, that I got rid of all that had to do with this kind of craft, I did become sick of it. So thank you Allie from all of those who in the future want to work with memory wire, can be a great lot of fun if you have the proper equipment......
Never too late, Dutch! Thank you for watching our tutorial videos.
I want to try to stack 10mm beads on a bracelet. Thanks for this video. I primarily use stretchy wire. Time to learn more techniques. Next level
You can do it!
You can decorate drinking glasses at a nice or themed set dinner. Memory wire around the glass with a little charm. I made a bracelet for a friend one year and the gift I gave her was cylinder in shape, so I put the memory wire bracelet around the outside of the wrapped gift as part of the decoration. (2 gifts in 1)
Thank you for sharing this idea, Rhonda. We would love to see your work on our FB page. ^_^
ok

Hi, I've been looking for a tutorial on how to work with memory wire and came across your channel. Great tutorial.
I have a query about the size of the gauge. Regarding a bead size which may affect the weight of memory wire, do we use a specific size gauge?
I would also like to ask, can I use the memory wire to thread and shape a hollow leather cord for necklace ? The necklace will not be a whole circle.
Thanks a lot for your help.
You could use the memory wire to feed into your leather. Also, this is the wire we use for our bracelets www.potomacbeads.com/memory-wire-bracelet-2-25-gold-plated#attr=2329,2330,2331
Thanks a lot for your response.
Rather a silly question, if the loop of the memory wire is smaller of the neck or the leather loop design is not a choker style, can I stretch the memory wire to the height I want or will it break?
Thanks a lot.
@@annitagalvan9049 The memory wire pretty much stays the same and does not stretch however there are different size loops in the memory wire www.potomacbeads.com/memory-wire
does anyone know how to stretch it? thanks
I have an 8 inch wrist. When I measure from one side of my wrist to the other side. It is just over 3 inches.
So my question is, will the large bracelet size work for me? Or should I go with the necklace size.
Or maybe the oval would work better for me?
We have Designers with bigger wrist that still use the bracelet size and it stretches nice. Though the oval will give you an unique look too that will fit
I want to make citrine bracelet. They are flat round disc at 6 mm. Is citrine fragile?
A flat round disc gemstone may be a little on the fragile side. Here is a video on Citrine you may find helpful! czcams.com/video/UNP0TaB-s54/video.html
Can you solder to the memory wire
You can but it is very difficult and it's not practical.
Hey
Hello, Elizabeth!
