- Hi everyone. Here's a super quick and easy stretch bracelet tutorial. I know you've seen many already but this one teaches you how to achieve equal lengths for a stacked set. Plus I show you how to design using Magic Rods and curved tube beads. I'll be using the beads from the Curated Bead Box for the month of April. The name of the box is Light My Fire. If you don't subscribe to the Curated Bead Box, you can still make this project using beads from your own stash. Please see the materials list down below.

You can also buy previous boxes or a one-time box on CuratedBeadBox.com, if you don't want a monthly subscription.

#memorywirebracelet #coilbuddy #curatedbeadbox - Jak na to + styl
These look great, especially when worn together. Such lovely beads too. Thank you for the lesson and tips to ensure a quality bracelet.
Take care and have a great day! 😊💖🙏🏻
Love the beginning with the calming nature.
the number of techniques I learn from your videos is more than almost anywhere. You are amazing. I have the rods at home and the bead box so I think I can manage this with the organization I need to do it. I am rather impulsive. Your style is very good for me! Thank you for always giving a soothing and intensive tutorial. Just beautiful!
Oh I love these bracelets! What I love more is learning how to tie the knots. I have always been afraid to make a stretch bracelet because I wasn’t sure about tying the knots. My daughter has asked me several times to make her some of these. I bought the supplies and just haven’t taken the leap. Going to rewatch that segment a few more times and then try my hand at it. Thanks again for teaching me! Love all of your videos!

Aww…thank you Beverly for your very nice feedback 🙂🌺🌼🌸
Those were beautiful!
Thank you!😊
You're welcome 😊
Love your creations
Beautiful beads, those white multi beads are so pretty, great tutorial Luisa!
Hello my friend happy New Year. It is so nice to see you making videos. That is great advice you gave people about taking care of themselves. I am in total agreement. I also was a Jane Fonda freak. I taught Aerobic exercise, joined in on 50 ml cyclethongs. I was addicted to the natural pain killers endorphins the brain releases during exercise. Now I just use the elliptical it works the arms, buttocks, and legs and respiratory system. I hope you had a great Christmas. We chilled. My granddaughter was due close to Christmas. For Christmas God gave me a great granddaughter name Leilani. Did you know that I first became a grandma at 33 yrs. Of age? I started at 15 , then my daughter repeated history. Lol
Beautiful, Luisa. Love the colours together. And just so you know, I love the little intros you put in your videos. Especially at this time of year. Up here in southern Ontario we are still getting the odd snow shower or sleet. None of the trees have even begun to show signs of spring. A few brave crocuses are showing. The birds, though, are singing gloriously. HalleluYah. Thank you for your tutorials and glimpses of spring, etc. Blessings 🦋🌱.
Thank you Diana. You’re so kind! Brrr!..southern Ontario is definitely cold but I’m sure it’s beautiful! 🙂🌺🌼🌸
It is cold, or back and forth, ie cold one day, warm the next. 🙂🌷🦋
I always learn something new from you. Thank you for taking time out of your life to help so many!
Thank you Renae 🙂🌺🌼🌸
I love the beads you chose. All of the bracelets are beautiful 😍
I couldn't think of a way to use the gold tubes...but I love the way you used them. ❤
Beautiful!! Those colors are awesome. I have a lot of the filigree gold beads but never liked them much. Now, thinks to you, you’ve given me inspiration to use them. Thank you so much!
Lindíssimas 😍 😍👏👏👏👏👏
Love these ty for your tutorial ❤️
I love your videos because of your inspiring pictures 🌺 and the way you set this all up!
And btw I also loved your chatting videos! I miss them. Love from Lily 🌸🌼🌷💐☘️
Thank you Lily. I may bring the Let’s Chat videos back. I’m on TikTok now and you can get a more up close and personal experience there. I’m still trying to gain followers on that platform 🙂🌺🌼🌸
@@MistyMoonDesigns I am your 168th follower now :)) 🌺
Thank you Lily! You’re so sweet! 🥰🌺🌼🌸
Very pretty! 💖 I love the colors you chose for these bracelets. 💕💕💕 I've always stayed away from making stretch bracelets because I was afraid the stretch cord would come unknotted. I think the way you secure them is a good idea. I might try them now. Thank you for sharing. 😊🌹
Thank you Sheila. Yes, you’re not alone but if you make the knot very tight and small and then add glue, I promise it won’t come undone. Trust me. A few times I tried to undo my knots to redo the bracelets and it’s near impossible, even without glue. 🙂🌺🌼🌸
@@MistyMoonDesigns, I will definitely be making some stretch bracelets now. Thank you so much! 😊🌹
I absolutely love your channel and your style of jewelry making! I can’t wait to see other tutorials from the subscription boxes, etc. that I can make along with you. Being new to this hobby I am learning so much from your tutorials.
Thank you Tonya! 🙂🌺🌼🌸
Great video.
Thanks.
I have your March bracelet with the Curated bead box all lined up on my Coil Buddy! I’m thrilled because it came out so even! Plus it’s fun to do it that way! My April Curated Bead box came and I was thinking about it, but saw this and I’m excited to make your idea! I felt kind of funny about copying your ideas but realize that I’m learning how to use all the little tubes, findings and what glue to purchase, plus all the great tips you give! Plus how to tie knots! I’ve only been doing this since last year but I’m learning so much from you and tell anyone who will listen about your tutorials and the Coil Buddy! Your a God send to students and fans and love your stories scenery and music! Don’t ever change!❤️🙏🦋🌺🌸
Wonderful comment, she's the best.
Oh that’s wonderful Susan! Thank you for giving Coil Buddy a try! It is nice to be able to design with confidence and seeing the rows prior to loading them onto the memory wire 🙂🌺🌼🌸
❤️
Love these stretch cord bracelets! Enjoy your introduction!
Those bracelet's are very pretty thank you for sharing this with us sweetie
Thank you Louisa, always enjoy your tutorials! As always looking forward to your next one. Take care of you.
Love and hugs from Ontario Canada.
Beautiful!❤ I love making stretch bracelets too!
These bracelets are so cute! I love the spring colors, too. Everything went together so well. Thank you for sharing your ideas on the tubes. I woul have never thought to do that. ♥️♥️
Gorgeous trio...and a terrific guide to making slip-on bracelets. Hope youre enjoying springtime. Thanks for a beautifully crafted video. The quote at the end is PERFECT for me right now.We put lyrics to In a Silent Way, and recorded it on one of our
c.d.'s. Like these bracelets, the colors of that piece are young and peaceful.
Aww.. thank you Katy. You’re so kind! 🙂🌺🌸🌼
Hi, I am brand new to beading. I just retired and love beading. I am learning so much from your tutorials. I wondered what the thickness of the stretch cord you are using here? Thank you
Hermosas pulseras haga por favor una con cuarzos rosas combinados con otro color gracias
Gracias, Carmen. Si tengo tiempo, intentaré hacerlo. 😊
I was having a problem with the stretch cord making knots. I could not make the knot small enough to fit inside a bead. Not sure why this is unless the size is a 1 thickness.
Very pretty bracelet but it seems to me it would be a lot easier to use a beading board than that wire thingy you use. It would be simpler to just take a bead off the board than taking several off a wire then putting them back on the wire.
If a beading board is easier then by all means use one! I own 3 that I never use anymore. I prefer the rods because I can get more accurate/precise measurements, especially when I’m trying to do a bracelet stack. Plus like I mentioned in the video…the rods hold beads of different sizes and shapes, nuggets, bead caps, seed beads, etc. and you can bring them up close with the stoppers. That’s not possible with a beading board. In fact, I advice viewers to use scrap beading wire or similar for measuring accurate bead pattern lengths. That’s what I used to do before coming up with the rods. 🙂🌺🌸🌼
Just curious why a person couldn’t just measure the halfway point before they finish and it ends up too long and you have to tear it all apart to get the right size?
These are so pretty! I just placed my first Bead Box order after watching this video (thank you for the code). I am excited to get it and to try my hand at the bracelets. Can I ask what stretch cord you use?
Thank you Janet. It’s a good value! You definitely get a lot of beads for your money 🙂🌺🌼🌸
@@MistyMoonDesigns what weight of stretch cord do you use? I haven’t made many stretch bracelets.
@@janets2041 oh gosh I forgot to answer your question. Sorry about that. I believe the box came with medium weight stretch cord. It’s pretty thick. It looks like it’s maybe .8mm thick. Let me send a message to Curated Bead box to verify but I’m pretty sure it’s medium to heavy weight.
@@MistyMoonDesigns No problem, I didn't realize the cord came with the box. I have received my box, but didn't get the same beads :-(. I will be checking out your other videos! Thanks
Do these spacer beads turn green after some time?? Which material is best to use? I wanna make good quality products which will last.
I haven’t tested them but I would imagine the finish might wear off if they’re worn a lot. I never wear base metals for more than a few hours and I always try to keep my jewelry clean and away from lotions or perspiration. Sometimes I coat base metals with a protectant such as Permalac. That really helps. But I would not categorize these as high quality due to the price. For longevity and quality, I would recommend Argentium silver or gold filled but they’re pricey and limited in design. 🌺🌼🌸
can you use this tubing for large hole beads?
Hi Emily. I’m not sure I understand the question. Are you asking if the tubing can be inserted into a large hole bead? The outer diameter is 4mm so I don’t think it would work. 🌺
I want to see where Not Go "1 2 then pull it".
I’m so mad at myself right now. I ordered a box and forgot to put in the code
