OMG!!!! This is exactly how we make our bangles in Africa. No soldering 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for giving the approximate measurements for different size bangles. I always enjoy your videos I learn so much
Such a good idea. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much! I have always been curious how to do this!
It’s a smart way to do it. Thank you for sharing. God bless you
Thank you so much! I’ve always wanted to learn a way to make bangles without soldering. Much love!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video....😍💕
So cute! Thanks for sharing!
Great idea👍 thanks for sharing 🙋🏼♀️
Love all your tutorials!
Thanks,just ordered the supplies!
Yay! I love bangles, but my hands got larger and I haven't been able to find any to fit me. I make everything else, don't know why I didn't try to make my own bangles, so, thank you very much for sharing! Off to find giant crimp tubes!
I love your work! Thanks for Sharing🌹
I have been making jewelry for several years, but only bead weaving & Stringing. Then I found your videos & I'm making all sorts of amazing new pieces (at least amazing to me). So now I Bing watching you & downloading my favorite ones. So I want to thank you for your instruction and & inspiration. But I have a question. I have a Mighty Crimper I use when I work with leather & thick cord will it work with these crimp tubes?
Love your ideas and videos
Great close up. Could see what u were doing. Ty
Brilliant. Thank you!!!
Hi Susan, i love your tutorials and I love bangles. Thank you for your excellent instructions. I did not see the crimping pliers on your website, can you point me in the right direction. Thank you
Thank you!
Love your ideas
Wow, it's so easy to make, can't wait to add sum cute charms and beads to mine📿
I love stacked bangles but my wrist are real small and most tend to fall off. I'm looking forward to making these.
Buen día, me gustaron tus pulseras y muy fáciles de hacer. Sería posible las medidas de las pulseras por escrito. Gracias
Great post❤️❤️❤️
I Love your ring on your right hand!
Hello I was about to ask could you add beads or if I wanted to make a gold filled bangle would it be possible, but you answered the question love this video thanks for sharing!

Susan did a couple of scalloped bangle tutorials that explain this very thing! There is one that is soldered and one that is a no solder scalloped bangle.

There was not a link to the mandrel. Could you tell us the size mandrel that you are using. They are expensive so I do not want to buy the wrong one. Thank you.
Hi again, Susan. I cannot find the large crimp tubes anywhere. Please tell me where to buy the large crimp tubes that you used in this video but in silver tone and gold tone. Thank you. 😊
Disculpa cómo se llaman esa pieza que utilizas para unir los dos alambres? Gracias mil
would you please do a video where you tie multiple bangles together without solder thanks

How do I make a the kind of ring you are wearing on the left. I want to put a huge irregular stone on top of a ring and clasp it in

Love this tutorial, i've always wanted to know how to make bangles, their my most loved piece of jelwery. T.F.S.
Hi Susan I'm trying to make a bangle for an 18 month old. How much wire should be used for this?
Very nice, simple bangle. For the next level, I’d like to see a bangle made with it’s own clasp using the single piece of wire. How’s that for a challenge, lol.
amazon carries them too but price is more.
How to purchase the crimp tube you used for this no solder bracelet
Do you ever add shells to that or beads
Where can I get crimp tubes that will fit size 12 gauge wire? Thanks for responding in advance
Hi, love this tutorial. I can't wait to make some bangles. However, the only size wire I have right now is 18 gauge. Do you have any tutorials that use that size wire in the meantime? thanks
@JewelSchool
4 жыл бұрын
Hi Carol, that's a great question. When we don't have a large enough gauge wire on-hand, we often will double up the wire by coiling it 2x around a bracelet mandrel or rolling pin, attaching the two ends (by twisting or crimping, and then wrapping all around the bracelet with thinner wire. It's great to do this in an organic fashion, adding beads along the way to make what Susan calls a "crazy bangle"! We will add this to our list for future demos!
Fantastic 💗😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌

If you're just starting out, you can just get whatever brand is available and affordable (ie $5-$15). The pliers and cutters carried by Walmart, Michaels, and Hobby Lobby are always perfectly fine. I also recommend PandaHall, which is a low-cost Chinese brand that you can easily buy through Ali Express. If you're looking for top quality, the best is probably Lindstrom, but it's like $40-60 a pair. Wubbers is also very good quality, but generally cost $30 and up. Hope that helps!
thank you so much...I checked artbeads.com and beads and things and can't seem to find 10mm gold plated or filled crimp tubes for 16 gauge wire. Can someone please direct me to where I might purchase them. Thank you!!
I love this project but I have really had trouble finding crimp tubes this long. Most that I come across are 3mm max.
@JewelSchool

They are so hard to find! We sold out of them very quickly. Try a google search for these keywords, "Artistic Wire Large Crimp Tubes 10mm"
The site is not open ???
OK I am new so forgive me if I didn't see an obvious answer or video listed to my question, but how can I learn more about this "spring back" of wire. I saw you overlapped when wrapping your wire around your mandrel, but I couldn't really see how much of an overlap you used. I discovered that this can actually make a HUGE difference on how certain wire lays and can seriously yuck up a project quick. Is there a. ..idk, a spring back overlap "suggestion" chart like best overlap amount in CM or MM to Guage size ....does this even exist? I have a passion for wire weaving but overall still new to wire and wire jewelry making. Which means i have not yet aquired any fancy extra tools, such as a mandrel or one with measurement lines on them yet. So, any alternative hack suggestions would just be divine.
How many millimeters are those crimp tubes?
I tried to buy large crimp tubes but I didn’t see them.

Hello when you say 14 gauge is that dead soft wire, half hard like what kind of wire for the bangle?
@JewelSchool
2 жыл бұрын
This is a 14ga half hard wire. It's a thicker wire. Dead soft is really only going to be in the higher gauges like 22, 24, 26 and 28. They are thinner wires and are used more for wire wrapping. Check out this video about the differences in wire hardness: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pZ-Hqa5qpsW0eJs.html Hope this helps!

I've watched three different tutorials that you've done and the one thing that I have noticed is that it's difficult to see what you're doing from where you have your camera. Just a suggestion but maybe to possibly put the camera over your hand so that we can see down into the work and your hands are not in the way. I noticed this expecially when you were doing the Princess Leia ring and the Harry Potter earrings. Just a suggestion cuz I know that I missed some parts with some of your other videos not this one but I would have liked to have seen a closer shot of what you were doing.
