Beautiful, I broke my wrist it's been about 5,6, and just going to get back into my beading. I have so many supplies to keep 20 to 40 people busy for many year's .😅😊
I know what you mean. I keep buying supply's but so far not got around to making. I need another room 😆 🤣
Perhaps have a church event... and sponsor it...with your supplies... to share ... Just a thought... Blessings on your day...
I ruptured my wrist I hear what your saying .have a room full and can only look and wish 😢
Out of all the similar beaded suncatcher projects I like your design the best !
Awww - thanks!
I agree!
Have not thought about this. Perfect. I have a lot of this wire. Just sitting in my box.
This is a great idea for my “bead soup” ! Thanks 🎉
Great idea! As a jewelry maker I have tons of mismatched, slightly scratched or deformed glass beads. This is a wonderful use for them! Thanks for sharing your technique! I'm going to make one for me and both my sisters!
And… the heavier the beads, the more it weighs down the wire, so it gets longer. I’ve also done them with charms hung throughout. Super versatile. Enjoy!
this sun catcher is stunning i cant wait to make one !! ty for a great video!!
I've been designing and making jewelry for many years. I've worked with memory wire before. I was not familiar with the "knee" technique for relaxing and extending memory wire. That is a great technique. Thanks!💜
This was the best bead project 🤩. My husband and I each made one together. Your video was well explained👍. Thank you so much!
I’m so glad to hear that. Thank you.
I am in love with your work! thank you so much for sharing such precious art! lots of light and love from Brazil
Im looking for ladies birthday gifts this year & I just might do this!!
Thank you!
I think the ladies will love them.
Ive been wanting to make these, thanks for sharing.
TYFS - So BEAUTIFUL & simple 🤓 that even I can’t screw it up 🤗!
Great beautiful idea I have bags of loose bags and memory wire n clips thank you so much for sharing this DIY
Just what I was looking for. I have 1,000 6mm bicones that are too rough for bracelets. I wondered how to make my memory wire stay stretched out. Now I'm on a mission. Thank you!
I tried stretching like you said, obviously a wind-up. I guess you knew we'd realise all we needed to do was add a bit of weight to the bottom of the spiral. I used large glass pendants. Thanks anyway got all the beads used up.
Such a great way to use up extra beads. And the heavier the beads, the longer it stretches, even if they are incorporated throughout.
Fantastic! Love your video and how you made it look so easy to make.
Thanks. They are super easy and fun to make.
Thank you for this very nice tutorial. Seems like something I’d like to try. Good instructions also.
ABSOLUTAMENTE BELLOS! Muchas gracias 🙂
Such a cute suncatcher! Thanks for your video!
Thanks. They’re fun to make.
How much fun, these are beautiful. I make jewelry and I don’t know what to do with leftover beads. This is perfect. Thanks so much for sharing your video with all of us. New subscriber Thanks
I make rings with my left over beads.
Beautiful design ⭐
Thank you so much . I’ve been wanting to try this but didn’t know how to start
I actually made one of these before I ran across your video. I guess the beads I used must've been heavier because I didn't need to stretch the memory wire out. Still got some pretty good ideas from your video though so thank you for sharing. Love new inspiration for an idea.
This was so much fun to make with my daughter! Ty for sharing.
Those are adorable.
These are so far out! Just got my materials 💗💗 thanks!
A suggestion...I would put a itty bitty dot of E6000 on the fishing line knots to secure the knots from coming apart.
Great suggestion. Extra secure that way.
I've got to make these! ❤
BeAuTiFuL.....love it....
Aw these are so lovely :o)
Nice! Thank you. If you’re unfamiliar, You might learn the surgeons knot for knotting fishing line or whatever actually. It’s very useful.
This would be a great craft for nomads
Simpe yet beautiful. I would put a swivel on it so it spins.
So beautiful
If I made this which I will for a gift I would tie the fishing line as if I was putting a fishing hook on it. Yep! My father taught me everything about fishing.
Maravilhoso!
Thanks for sharing ❤
I'm going to try this using acrylic beads
Since acrylic beads aren't as heavy as glass beads, you might want to try adding something heavier at the very bottom of the wire to hold it down. Either way, it will be pretty. Enjoy.
Thank you 🤟🏻❤️🥰
I love these sun catchers and have ordered another round of 3 today! My question is what is the best way to hang these from the trees or branches or wherever, i can't really tell from the intro part of your tutorial. I guess I can use a long piece of fishing line and tie it to the sun catcher and then tie to the branch. Just curious what you used. Thanks again for these kits!
I typically use fishing line to hang them. Glad you like them.
Wow I like this very much thank you
Cool thanks
Easy to follow .
When I tie fishing line or use elastic to make bracelets zi drop one drop of glue on the knot to hold it.
Great idea!!
I LOVE ITTTTTTTT
Hello, thank you for sharing. I was wondering does the cording act as the holder? Meaning is that how you hang it? I’m not a jewelry maker, but I love sun catchers. I want to replicate it and make one for my sister. I appreciate your answers.
Yes, the cording is what you hang it with.
So gorgeous! Could you let us know how long the piece of memory wire is? Thanks!
The wire is 6 'rings' long
Nice
Hi, are you using regular memory wire or the extra heavy duty memory wire? Thanks so much!
Hi. Regular memory wire. Bracelet size. I don't thin the heavy duty would provide enough 'stretch'.
What kind of mat do you have on the table that you are working on? I have a small living space so really don't have a work area and now that the weather is nicer, I can work outside.
You use dry mat, dish towel or bath towels
Thank you for sharing! I ran straight to the shop and made a small one but the curl is off balance (like your black one in the intro video). Do you know how to correct this?
Sometimes, if I 'over' straighten it, or it's too wonky, I'll run the wire between my thumb and index finger, the this seems to return a lot of the curl to it. Try that, and let me know if that works.
So cool.id love to do one but I can't afford the kit. 😥😫
Cool🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖
I'm surprised that the weight of the beads wouldn't stretch the memory wire
The heavier the beads, the more the wire stretches
Cute ❤️🇩🇰😍

I tought my sister how to make these they are so much fun. Do you think it would be ok if I sell them?
Hi Lindsay. Glad you like them. Yes, you may sell them. Good luck.
website wont let me purchase Suncatcher Kit , quantity section is closed off
What size or gauge is the wire you use? And how long is the wire?
Use 20 to 24 gauge... The higher the number the thinner the wire... Maybe start with 22g
🙂🌟🌟🌟🌟🏅👍🏻
That's alot wire & beads! Pretty though!
The sell mini slinky toys at dollar tree now,to use as wire.
Ohhh, that would be cute!
I tried your method and the wire got all tangled up, and misshapen.
