I saw a couple of videos on using crimps and I thought I was ready to venture out and get starting until I viewed your video. I've never used crimps or a crimping tool and was not aware that the actual size of the crimp to be use was stated on the wire spool. Thanks for pointing that out. Your demo tutorial is perfect. I was able to see everything up close and slow enough for me to grasp what you're doing and you explained it so well. Thanks so much for sharing.
Great job! Just a little tip, you can fold over your crimp bead once you've crimped it to make it even smaller and secure. Plus if you want to cover the crimp you can use "crimp covers"...also found at Michaels. ;)
I was just making these kind of bracelets and now you posted a tutorial on how to do it! I love following your tutorials because you explain really well! Thanx!
From what I have learned with jewelry making the crimp bead actually needs to split the two sections of wire when you crimp the part that crimps in the middle then you use the part of the crimping pliers that will fold it in half. At least thats what I have seen on the jewelry making show on the learning channel. I am not trying to criticize in any way, just hoping to help you. These are very beautiful and I love them. I just know you like quality things that are made in a way that won't cause problems later. I really love your videos and think you are great. Thank you.
Sarah, Crafty Fridays are what I look forward to! A combination of pearls and charms at 2:00 really make stackable bracelets look elegant. Looking forward to your next tutorial.
A crimping tip. The crimping tool is a two part tool. You did the first part squeezing the crimp bead into to a u shape. The second set of teeth will allow the u shape to be folded over and tightened more. You did a great job!
You should look into wire guardians. They are small metal, horseshoe shaped findings that you feed the wire through at the then of your project. It helps to prevent wear and tear on the wire and it gives your projects a finished, professional look. You can then add a jump ring and your clasp to the wire guardian.
Very nice! Thanks for making this video you've given me some ideas of some things I can do with all the beads I have. I also appreciate the tip on the crimp beads matching up with the proper wires. I never knew that about the numbers on the packages, so thanks for that!
Where I used to work, one of my supervisors had a daughter who made jewelry, and posted it online. I would watch the daughter on breaks, and got lots of nifty ideas from her. Before long, I was making some mighty cool jewelry, and this is a great way to pass the time when it's really snowy outside, you've been laid up from having surgery, or you like doing this in front of the TV set when a good TV show is on. I always love to go to Michaels or AC Moore to see what's available; I like getting beads mixed in a variety of styles. Then, I have a little bowl on my tray, cut the bead strings apart, get out my crimpers and toggles, and just go to town. My all time favorite bracelets are the personalized ones, which I call The Name of The Game. I have three styles I like using, they are birthstone, Midnight Madness, and Simply Stunning. Midnight Madness involves using black AB beads where Simply Stunning uses all silver fixings. I also like those letters on the plastic beads, namely the white on black letters, simply because they do not tarnish like the silver letter cubes do
I've been straight up tying knots at the end to secure the toggle claps. Its secure, this seems much better. Also thanks for making this look super simple and easy! I will definitely be trying this out!
Thank you for this video. I was looking for simple instructions on how I can make a beaded bracelet that I can add charms to over the years with different occasions. I’m making this for my granddaughter who just graduated kindergarten and will have her first piano recital this weekend. I want to buy her a treble clef and a graduation cap charm but I’ll be adding more as she grows up. With your clear and well-filmed tutorial, I can do this! As we add more charms, I can hopefully just add more jump rings between the beads, right? My little Anna would love to help me make this bracelet. Thank you, sweetie!
Hi Sarah, so glad you made this video. Now I know what crimping beads and crimping tools and all that other stuff is for. All of our bracelets turned out beautiful!
There is also another item you can use to help protect the wire from the clasp. It Is called a wire guardian it alse gives lovely finished look. I just made several necklaces using this same technique. I love the beads you used. Your videos are great and easy to follow. Thanks for all your guidance.
Anyone who wants to make these on a budget, go to Walmart or shop on Amazon. These two places have been the best places I've found with the best prices! You can even purchase Panda Hall items from Amazon!
Great tutorial !! I am a beginner. I bought my first bracelet bead charm kit today. I will post one when I get done with one. Very informative !! I like your videos !!
Just a little tip when you crimp the crimp bead: crimp it once to flatten it then use the front of the crimper tool to squeeze each side together. This helps it to stay better :)
Seems pretty easy to make one of these bracelets, thanks for showing how to do it! i would love to see you make some hooped beaded earrings like what you are wearing.
And another thing, 18 gauge wire is the most commonly used, sometimes 15 gauge . Also, pre-cut ur wire, you don't have to leave it on the spool. And ur supposed to crimp ur crimping tube twice, so it's in half, and u never let ur work show, sometimes u don't need a crimp cover, if ur beads have big enough holes, u can just push the bead right on top of the crimp without wasting a crimp cover. I love ur videos, and please don't be mad. Ur very sweet.
OOoookay, sorry for the comment about ur nails, I should have said that it may be a little easier for you to do ur work if ur nails were a bit shorter, that's all. I've been making jewelry for 13 years now, and I learned by my mistakes. There is so much competition out there, and it's very difficult to become financially successful from this craft, like you have to be the best of the best, and I am certainly not the best of the best, but I do make pretty good money. So, if you are making these videos just for fun,, that's great, but if you are trying to hopefully get a HSN deal someday, or something like that, well, it's very hard, the most important thing is that you are having fun, and you love what you do. I did not want to hurt you, or come off mean. I apologize if I did. I hope you can forgive me. Well, good luck, and God Bless. Thanks,. Most Sincerely, Laurenza
Wow you did an excellent job. Thank you so much for this easy to follow video. I'm making my friend a crystal necklace and was very rusty. I am going to add French wire to cover the bare beading wire. You can also add seed beads to cover the wire for a really finished look. You are a great teacher. I will post the necklace on your hashtag. Suzanne in Hawaii.
Beautiful bracelets but you should use wire savers so your clasp isn’t right on the wire and you aren’t finishing your crimp. You use the u shape first then the oval shape closer to the front to finish. Just some friendly advice so your beautiful bracelets don’t break! Happy beading!!
Wow, you made some beautiful bracelets. Thank you so much for your expertise. You are simply a charming and delightful woman and I am so glad I found you here. Daughter wants to make these bracelets now, too. Oh, and we both LOVED your nails! Keep up the fantastic work and thank you for sharing with us. :-)
Here is a video I made 4 years ago : My Entire Bead & Charm Collection! =] It doesn't have the items I showed in this video, but I thought it might help you a little bit until I get around to doing an updated video on storage.
Great job for your first crimping tutorial. The pliers are called crimping pliers. I would love to help you, I've been making these type of bracelets and necklaces for a very long time. Love your energy. There are a lot of online stores to buy beads at a much lower price than Michael's. You should try the bargain bead box. They send a monthly subscription for a really low price. Reach out any time! Rose
Thank you for your tutorial, just want to say there is a two step process with crimping. The first step is to fold the crimp by using one part of the crimp pliers and the second step is the closing of the crimp using the other teeth on the crimp pliers.
I would love to see a tutorial on some broken china jewelry (you can google it, it's really cool). I would love to know how to make that. Also, I would like to see some cameo pendants, especially ones with a vintage floral design. Thanks for the great ideas!
SoCraftastic That's great! I'm glad you liked my ideas. I think you're so creative and I look forward to watching your future jewellery crafting videos. :)
SoCraftastic P.S. I think you might just need to find a way to sand down the broken pieces of china you make and then glue them onto a cameo but I don't know how well that would work..
SoCraftastic Thanks for commenting. I saw the idea from BrooklynAndBailey but they had bought it at Forever 21 and I just thought that it would be fun to make! :)
I also really LOVE your videos, you actually inspired me to start youtube videos! I really love your work as well, and you already given me some ideas for my crafts and fashion!
I usually use 19 beadalon wire for most of my beads and alot of them are small and fit just fine. I find that the 49 wire is for heavier chunkier beads. Just a thought for those that don't know which to get.
As soon as I heard *rainbow loom* I was like "okay how old is this video" lol the lovely memories of rainbow loom!

Artistic Hobo Thank you for the information! I appreciate the tip. :) Glad you enjoy my videos!
Just glad to return the favor of all the tips you give to all of us. Thanks so much.
+SoCraftastic where did you get all of the charms from? 😮

Hi. I'm glad it helped! Thanks for watching. :)
Finally. Something a little more advanced for the older folk around here :)
Yes! :) I really enjoy making jewelry, but I got away from it for awhile. I'll try to do more soon - and other more grown-up projects too.
So simply and beautiful
Great video for a beginner! Thank you!! I didn't even know there were different crimp bead sizes depending on the size wire.
There is also another item you can use to help protect the wire from the clasp. It Is called a wire guardian it alse gives lovely finished look. I just made several necklaces using this same technique. I love the beads you used. Your videos are great and easy to follow. Thanks for all your guidance.
Yes They do riya patel make them with my niece and her friends all the time and they love to do them it's our quality time together
I love making bracelets and different crafts. I love bows and blue.
Anyone who wants to make these on a budget, go to Walmart or shop on Amazon. These two places have been the best places I've found with the best prices! You can even purchase Panda Hall items from Amazon!
I just started beading. Lol don't even know how to attach clasps yet. These look fun and easy!
Thanks for your hints on making the charm bracelets !! I will definitely use your hints to make more beautiful bracelets.
Thank you for this video! I've never made jewelry and I can't wait. After viewing your video, I think I can do it.
I have been wanting to make a bracelet like this for a while. Thank you!
Thank you so much Sarah for making another rainbow loom bracelet tutorial

+Laurenza Mancini I appreciate the advice, it's very helpful! Thanks! But, I don't think I have to cut my nails in order to make jewelry properly.
