The "Spontaneous" Bracelet Tutorial - FAIL!?... 3 Easy DIY Bracelets You Can Make At Home Too! 

I love all your videos but no matter what I try to make it doesn't come out like yours or anyone's videos. I bought everything you need for making rings, earrings and necklaces. Nothing comes out right. Instead of me putting all my material away, and I bought stuff for everything to make these beautiful projects and nothing comes out right. Do you have any suggestions for my PROBLEMS. I love everything you make and they looks so easy but I can't get it. I spend so little much money on tools, wire and beads and you would not believe how many times I tried everything but nothing turned out. If you have any suggestions for me I would really appreciate your kindness. GOD BLESS you and your little ANGELS.

@@lorrainebecchetti4865 Hi Lorraine, I don't mean to intrude on your comment. I have no doubt Helena has some great advice because she makes the prettiest little pieces of jewelry! You didn't say specifically what kind of problems you're having but I thought I'd share my experience from when I started making wire wrap jewelry 2 years ago. I watched MANY, MANY beginner videos for MONTHS before I bought supplies. It was so confusing to me figuring out what I needed to start because I knew NOTHING about making wire jewelry. Helena has beautiful tutorials I've enjoyed so much but I also learned so much (especially about forming/shaping wire) from Lan Anh Handmade channel. You really should check her out. I'll leave 5 good beginner tutorial links below or you can search for her channel and see more of her work. She has a good mix of beginner and advanced tutorials. She's a very good teacher. Her tutorials are really what gave me a good start. My stuff didn't look great to begin with either but if you have or get some 20 gauge dead soft copper wire to practice with and take your time shaping with your tools and/or fingers, I promise you'll get the hang of it. 🙂 ⭐Tip... Always straighten your wire using a soft cloth before starting a project. It takes a minute to get used to manipulating and shaping the wire but you can use a random anything as a mandrel. I use ink pens to form earwires, bottle tops to shape rings, etc. The list is endless. ⭐Tip... When I first started, I had to train myself NOT to grip my wire so hard that it scratched and marred it into total ugliness. 😩 LOL! I bought the cheapest toolset (under $10 for 5 pliers +) and covered my pliers' jaws in "layers" of duct tape in lieu of paying a lot for nylon jaw pliers (it is sticky when you try to remove it though so I just keep reapplying because it works for me). This helped prevent scuffing the wire. Although I've added a few new tools (good flush cutters) since I started, those cheap pliers are still my main go-to pliers to this day and they serve me very well. Below are some of Lan Anh's beginner videos. Please check them out. ⭐Be patient, persistent, and take your time. Once you get a feel for manipulating the wire, you'll be able to do absolutely anything you set your mind to! 😀 Again, I didn't mean to overstep or intrude and so sorry my comment is very long. I just know how frustrating it can be when you're first learning. I thought I might be able to help out a fellow jewelry-making enthusiast. There's a lot of joy in it when it works out. Best wishes and good luck to ya! 🙂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hM1lZa0XzDc.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7ZeHlfq5SCE.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AxnXLNbo1ek.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XnGN6tDCd3k.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZxKHv0PThkY.html

@tammygurl64 Thank you so much for replying to Lorraine's comment! I've only just came across both of these comments and in all honestly I could not have said it better! Your so lovely, thanks for taking your time to reply 💖

@Lorraine Becchetti Hi Lorraine, I'm so sorry to hear you have some troubles on this new jewellery making journey. I get your frustration, I'm sure you are trying your best and it must feel overwhelming if nothing works the way you expected. I absolutely still get these moments too. A lot of them actually. Whether I'm following a tutorial or if I'm just coming up with some new design and it doesn't match my expectation/vision. When I get these moments, I have to stop, put my tools down and get some rest, fresh air etc. then I go back to it and try again. and again. and if it still doesn't work and I just can't seem to get the hang of it at all, I move onto something else. Start with the easiest jewelry you could possibly make and move from there. practice. Perhaps try a slightly different wire? I have wires that are silver, gold and copper plated, all 20 gauge, all copper based, all from the same company and yet, they are each different. copper is very soft, silver medium and gold rather stiff. So that's to consider too. If you have any particular issue, then let me know, but honestly, keep trying and I promise, If you really want to get better, it will happen. Btw Tammygurl64 left you a really good reply, which is worth reading and I wish you the best 💖😘

I'm so glad you do 💜

I'm glad you like it

Aww Thank you so much for your lovely comment Joyce, It means a lot to me! Have a nice day too 🌸

Yay, thank you! Thanks for the feedback 💜🌞

I think so too Laura! Just wish I measured them better 😁

HelenaDaydreamer oh Helena, i have a question. Is E6000 save to use for glueing a real pearl into jewelry? I don’t have gem glue or something like that but am a little scared wether E 6000 is save for pearls. Do you know? Thanks! Love,laura

I have never worked with real pearls, so can't say for sure. I'd think so. I used to have Hypo Cement glue in the past, which is good for gems, but thats more like superglue in my opinion. Or maybe use two part epoxy glue, that will hold your pearl like nothing else 😁 These are just my thoughts though, I'd definitely research it, you don't want to risk it and ruin the pearls 🌞

HelenaDaydreamer well for thinking with me !! I know there is special glue but I only need to glue 1 pearl. I will do some more research on the E6000. Thanks for helping!! 😘

I'm so happy to hear that, let me know how it goes 🌸

Sure, will!! Hope you and your family is safe

Hi kaise ho naam kya Tumhara

Thanks so much 😊

Thank you for your yet again wonderful comment Vanshika, you are so lovely! 💖

Hi Vanshika, pardon the intrusion but I just wanted to say that's a great idea! 👍 I made a twisted bracelet for my niece last Christmas using bright copper and silver and it turned out great. I did one twist with 18 or 20 ga silver wire similar to Helena's twist. I used 16 ga copper long enough to loop in half (copper loop becomes part of clasp) and have extra for clasp and then cut multiple strands of smaller gauge (24-26ga) copper and silver. I then looped them all around (and just beneath) the 16 ga wire loop and then twisted them all together evenly. I made a hook clasp from the excess end of the 16 ga wire and wrapped other excess wire around it to give a finished look. I then made a coin sized tree of life charm from silver and bright copper to hang freely on the bracelet. It turned out much better than I expected. I say you should go for it! 👍 Let your imagination be your guide! Do your multiple colors. I bet it'll be beautiful! ❤ Again, sorry if I intruded. I got excited when I saw you had a similar idea to mine. Great minds... right? Have a beautiful and blessed day! Cheers! 😊

Yes of course! I'm pretty sure I got them from here. I've had them for a long time, but these seem very similar if not the same: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-SWAROVSKI-1088-Chaton-Crystals-in-Setting-4-Holes-Sew-On/371748567632?hash=item568df0fa50:g:GbwAAOSwzvpa8v6-

Grazie mille Sabrina 😘🌞

Hi Bonnie, I'm in the UK so I really don't know. I got mine on Ebay uk 🌞

Hi Deby I hope you are well. I bought all the sew on crystals on Ebay. here is a link to them. I'm sure they are pretty similar (if not the same) to the ones I bought a few years ago.

@@HelenaDaydreamer Thank you so much !

@@HelenaDaydreamer One more question please..do you know the size of the stones you used ? 6 or 8 mm ?

Deby Nieto hey, so The smaller ones were 6 and something and the large one was 8. Also, I have some moonstone crystals in gold setting and those are lovely too. From the same seller. I’m almost sure I bought them from this person. 💛

Thank you! You too! 🌞
