@chriscaine7689 7 лет назад

You should let everyone know the thickness of the memory wire as some is very thin, not really good for a lot of beads. I use 0.8mm

@TheONeilSisters 7 лет назад

Great point! We recommend you test the beads on your wire to make sure they fit. J&K

@SkwithOv 2 года назад

if you work with memory wire - get some xuron double flush memory wire cutters!! i've cut a few hundred memory wire bracelets and they look like new! and they're like $20, so not super expensive, but they're soooo worth it

@SkwithOv 2 года назад

also the charm is on a jump ring... its a LOT easier to make the loop, then just attach the jump ring with the charm :) plus you can do that at the very end, so it's not dangling and annoying while you make the bracelet

@TheONeilSisters 2 года назад

Great tip! Thanks!

@TheONeilSisters 2 года назад

Ooh thanks for the tip! J&K

@bernadettedra7323 7 лет назад

What a beautiful bracelet! Thank you for sharing. I tried to make a bracelet, but the wire is not tight on my wrist, very loose, could that happen if the beads are too large or heavy? 😭

@TheONeilSisters 7 лет назад

What size memory wire did you use? Did it fit alright before you put the beads on it? If yes, then possibly the beads are too heavy and are pulling it out of shape. Try smaller beads or a smaller size of memory wire. Hope that helps! J&K

@PeterAlmenar 4 года назад

Helpful video. Do you have suggestions for making men’s bracelets (eg surfer dude). I know they often use black or dark blue “lava” beads, silver, chrome, etc. Would you use a heavier wire? Thanks!

@TheONeilSisters 4 года назад

The beads you mentioned sound great for a guy. Also jasper, agate, jade, and wood. (We don't think the wire needs to be any heavier. ) Also, check out our Gemstone Stretch Bracelet video. It's a style that men (including Rob Lowe) are wearing. Here's a link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9UHLkU4vUcg.html J&K

@ljj9096 7 лет назад

When cutting memory wire, you must use memory wire cutters. You will ruin any other cutter.

@TheONeilSisters 7 лет назад

Yes LJ! Definitely do not us your good wire cutters to cut memory wire! Thanks! J&K

Thanks for the video! By far my favorite bracelet!!!! Beautiful colors! !!! Can you please tell me where did you buy that memory coil!? Thanks again for the video! !!! :)

@TheONeilSisters 6 лет назад

Thanks so much Miriam! We got the memory wire at Michael's. You can usually find it at Hobby Lobby and Joann's too. It is also available online. We just checked and Amazon has it. Or you can go to an online bead store like Fire Mountain Gems. Hope that helps! J&K

@ipsy281 7 лет назад

I'm in LOVE😍😍😍😍!!! Can you tell me what size hole the beads needs to be please? I have some 6mm pearls would they fit?

@TheONeilSisters 7 лет назад

+ipsy281 We checked the memory wire and while the gauge of the wire is not printed on the package, it's fairly thick. Pearls typically are drilled very thin, but maybe just test test it. Hope that helps!

@lauriewilson822 2 года назад

Great video, quick question. I generally make stretch bracelets but hate that over time they break. Do you feel this method is better than stretch style?

@TheONeilSisters Год назад

Hi Laurie, Memory wire bracelets are a great alternative to stretch bracelets. No clasp, fits most, and easy to make and wear! Here are a few on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/?s=memory+wire+bracelet Also, we have a way to do stretch bracelets that works well. We haven't had any issues with them breaking. Here's the tutorial on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/gemstone-stretch-bracelet-video-and-kit/ Hope that helps!, Jennifer & Kitty

@joankissinger5901 2 года назад

which way is the memory wire proper way to bend wire in or out for comfort and looks? I have watched different ones do different ways.

@TheONeilSisters Год назад

Hi Joan, We like to bend the wire up and out away from the wrist. That's just our preference. You can see that is step 2 of the how-to on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/how-to-make-a-memory-wire-wrap-bracelet/ Hope that helps! Cheers, Jennifer & Kitty

@jadi97 3 года назад

What size beads are these? I love how it looks.

@TheONeilSisters 3 года назад

Hi Jadi, We would guess the beads range from 3mm to 10mm. Here's the complete how-to on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/how-to-make-a-memory-wire-wrap-bracelet/ Hope that helps! Jennifer & Kitty

@amytomlin1 3 года назад

Will this fit everybody? Do you need to make them to the size of the person?

@TheONeilSisters 3 года назад

Great question Amy! The memory wire comes in different sizes: small, medium, large, and extra large. The size refers to the diameter of the loop. Large bracelet size 55mm or 65mm in diameter fits most gals without being too loose.

@katiecoynemypsychiceyes666 3 года назад

I'm finding all my memory wire bracelet are loose and slip open and often off the wrist. What am I doing wrong!!! The beads are all ok...it's the whole bracelet that separates instead of staying in a 2 coil or 3 or whatever.

@TheONeilSisters 3 года назад

So sorry you are having trouble with your memory wire Katie. It should spring right back like a Slinky! We like Beadalon. The package looks like this: amzn.to/3j9pE2D It comes in different diameters. Perhaps you could get a smaller size. Here's the how-to on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/how-to-make-a-memory-wire-wrap-bracelet/ Hope that hellps! Jennifer & Kitty

@kylarariun8189 3 года назад

lol i can't do the loop at all. :(

@TheONeilSisters 3 года назад

So sorry you are having trouble with the loop. It can be helpful to grasp the end of the wire deep inside the pliers. Rotate the pliers, Then reposition and rotate again. It does take a little elbow grease, but placing the wire deeper in the pliers can help. Here's the how-to on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/how-to-make-a-memory-wire-wrap-bracelet/ Jennifer & Kitty

@bernadettedra7323 7 лет назад
