You did an outstanding job! The bracelet came out perfect. In addition, I was laughing, because, you sound like me in reference to "securing" your bracelet. It's true though. I recall one tutorial where the person said, "You all make fun of me at times, because of how I secure my bracelets. But do you know what it is like, to have one of your pieces mailed back to you and they ask for it be resown, and you can't remember where you started?" LOL! So, Wendy, I'm with you on that one!

Wt a pretty.. Beautiful.. Luvly colour.. Plz show matching earrings for this

I l9ve this bracelet, so beautiful. Thanks for sharing this method as opposed to chain. This looks easier and more comfortable to wear....I ❤️ it!!

OMG I just love this bracelet. I was bourn in March and blue is my favorite color you have every blue in the book it just gorgeous.

I'm so glad I finally got to watch this video! I love this look but hated using chain. Trying to get all the dangles just so and up close to the chain with all the head pins was just too fiddly for me. I never even thought about using this method! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Can't wait to try it. As for the clasp. I saw on a video from Kellie's Bead Boutique that she adds a few jump rings to the bar part to help it go through the hoop easier. I tried it on a bracelet I made for my sister and she says it helps so much! I was thinking about getting some xuron pliers for my birthday and now after reading all the comments I think I will. I also buy my fireline in the fishing department. :)

Hi Wendy that bracelet is also beautiful you do such great work!!

Wendy, that is a gorgeous bracelet in one of my favorite colors! When I get down to a low bit of thread and have trouble making my knots, I switch to an 11 short needle. It helps makes the knots. At the Gem Show here back in February, I got some new crimping pliers that were highly recommended. They are called Om Tara Beading Pliers and are not hugely expensive, about $35. The only Lindstrom tool I own is a pair of micro round nose pliers that I also got at the Gem Show. They were highly recommend and were around $45. I have also heard good things about the Xuron pliers. 💖🌷💍💎

Had to comment again, as I totally recommend Xuron pliers. They are amazing and you won't believe the difference! I think they are priced perfectly and made in the USA (always a plus). Their short-nosed plier is my lifeline, I swear! I have about 6 pairs, and they are *all* fantastic. You can get them on Amazon. Take a look at the reviews!

I use Xuron a lot. I do a lot of wire wrapping and the needle-nose pliers are a must for me to go in a tight place. I got mine because I saw a lot of veterans jewelry KZread designers use them. I have been a Xuron fan since then and have many different ones now. I bought them as needed. I like the flat nose ones for chain mail also. I recommend them ;)

Wendy, I have been beading for 20+ years. My first set of pliers were Lindstrom pliers. I used only for about 1 month. I actually went to beadalon pliers. they are great. priced good. about 10+ years ago, before, Xuron was recommending use for their pliers as jewelry making pliers. I came across them in a remote control hobby shop. I started using them right away for making my jewelry. You are still looking at a little pricey considering one pair pliers run about $20-$30. Depending ware you buy them. they are my go to pliers though. I have wubbers and many different sets by different manufacturers. My recomendation is go to your local craft store and handle the pliers. you will find that you need to buy a set that is compfortable in your hands. I use certain brand for certain projects and others for other. I have no one type as to use at all times, I hope this helps. handeling the pliers first is the key to knowing what will work for you. Just because they work for a friend may not always work for you. everyone has different hands.

I've been making jewelry for a long time and have recently started with wire and chain maille, my very old cheap pliers are not working, I have started replacing them with Xuron and love them, great quality for the price.

Gorgeous! I would assume making a puffy necklace would be similar.

I think we as consumers are harder on designers because we know sometimes even “store “ bought breaks and jewelry does wear. SO be kind to designers.
