How to Make a Beaded Chain | Jewelry 101 

I am excited about this opportunity to learn subtle things for making jewelry. I've been saving up beads and tools for years and never satisfied with my attempts. Now I can't wait to try your silver solder techniques and so much you have to teach. Thanks.

That's great, Elizabeth! Thanks for sharing and watching along!

You can try a different flush cutter -- one that makes really clean edges -- and also be sure to pinch them down so they don't touch the skin. This is a great one! www.jtv.com/product/xuron-tapered-head-micro-shear-tm-flush-cutter/PLIER120?mcid=XSOjsyt

Hello Anita! Here is a video all about headpins where Susan shows you how exactly to use the 1-step looper! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-awTUIGXkf5M.html

I like how you are a prefectionist. I am, too😊 I enjoy your videos. I craft just for fun and give away. I suggest beginners take photos of their creations.

@@suzanneott5371 thanks, didn't think of taking pictures, I will start doing that.😆

Hi! All of the jewelry products used in the videos are available for purchase in the links in the video descriptions.

Hi Vivian! The best wire is tarnish-resistant craft wire such as Parawire or Artistic wire.

This is always a huge problem, yes! Where you can, especially when making loops (like in the line ring tutorial for instance), you can flush cut the edge a little and roll that wire in a little more to help get it flush. As far as wire wrapping, it's trial and error. Try getting some tweezer nose pliers. The tips are a bit smaller and they really let you get into tight places to tuck in that wire so it doesn't snag. Good Luck! The Line Ring: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o-GgHGRJys8.html

@@JewelSchool ok thank u so much I appreciate u

Great question! If you are using sterling wire, save it and recycle it. Plated wire pieces are generally tossed unless they are long enough to reuse!

No unfortunately we don't right now. We're sorry!

@@JewelSchool alright! Thank you for confirming!

Hey Melissa! Although Susan doesn't mention it here, you can use any clasp you want to finish this bracelet. Here are a few links to lobster and even magnetic jewelry clasps. You would just attach it the end of your bracelet loops with a jump ring. Good luck!

Great idea! We will consider this for a future episode!

I am not sure Jewel School has the snap hooks you specifically need, but here is a link to a variety of hooks and clasps that we do offer. www.jtv.com/search/?Ntt=clasps&type=products&N=4243964577&Ntk=All?mcid=XSOjsyt Also, a quick internet search for "snap hooks" might get you to a site that has specifically what you're looking for.

No we don't, but what a great suggestion!

20g wire will probably be a bit on the malleable side. You need something stiffer to really hold the shape of the links. You can definitely do it -- it just won't be as sturdy!

Thanks for watching! We are constantly striving to get as many detailed shots for everyone as possible since we never know the skill levels of those watching. We're glad your watching and like our projects!

Hi Jennifer! Susan "marks" the end of her round nose plier with a permanent marker so she can keep the size of the rings the same throughout the project. As long and you coil your wire to that "mark, " every loop will be the same size. Hope this helps!

Hi Tommy! Thanks for the comment! Just be sure to leave yourself enough wire to make the wrap at the top. We will try to be more clear in the future. Happy jewelry crafting!

She's explaining thoroughly. It's good she talks through it a lot because of you want to do it while she is teaching you don't have to look at the screen, you can look at your work.

Yes she does and I am so glad she explains it so well. Much better than leaving you hanging or leaving out important info.
