Most gorgeous memory wire bracelet on Youtube! I saw a bracelet like this at Nordstrom's going for a lot of money. Thanks for showing me how to make it at home!

[christineking]

so simple.... ive made few braceltes for family using memory wire. Always bung on bach of beads. But never thought to make it look like different rows. Im going to make a couple rows look like friendship bracelts by adding a little ssection of knots i uses. Many thanks

[debbiemadonio]

Wow, you made that look so easy, I'm going to try it. Thank you!

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

[rosalind]

Do u use end caps or is looping better?

[denisehuey]

wow i just learned something new, thanks

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!

[lauriewilson]

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?

[chriscaine]

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

[miriamrivera]

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! !!! :)

[joankissinger]

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.

[ipsy]

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?

[jadi]

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

[bernadettedra]

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? 😭

[amytomlin]

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

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