The bracelets are really lovely. I'm with you, my favorite is the four loop connector bracelet. I like the scroll work on it, but I also like the other two in combination with it. They match so well together. Thank you for the video and lesson. LOL! I remember how cold it was when I lived in Va Bch. Even in May, that cold wind would blow right through you, but VA is a beautiful State in spite of the cold winters. Thank you again! Take care and be safe! 😊💖🙏
They can be challenging. Sometimes if the beads are large, they take up space. I always try and make designs that allow me to increase or decrease beads at each end prior to adding the clasp. But, even then, they can be challenging…no doubt about it. 🤔🌺🌸🌼
Louisa those bracelets are beautiful . I’m going to make then I like your favorite too. The other two I’ll put on stretch could. Thanks for the great inspiration. I love watching your videos and waking in the parks is something I miss so much. My back won’t allow me to walk but about 5 minutes then sit. At least I’m not in a wheelchair that I predicted to be in 2003 within 5 yrs. I enjoy what I can do now and don’t dwell on what I can’t do anymore. Keep inspiring me with your beautiful work. I hope you and your family are all doing well! Be safe and stay warm in my home state. I don’t miss the snow and ice at all. I can see it on TV and that’s enough snow I want to see.
Very pretty bracelets, loved your combinations! I also love walking in beautiful wooded areas! I take my German Shepherd to some beautiful Nature Preserves this time of the year in Florida. Please continue to show more of your Nature walks, I really enjoyed it. Thank you!
I really liked this tutorial. Bargain Bead Box never disappoints. All three bracelets are beautiful. Thank you so much for the inspiration Luisa. Much appreciated.
Luisa, Unique and Beautiful Bracelets!💗💗💗 I love you tutorials. Your nature walks are so calming. You are a fantastic designer. Thanks for all your inspiration. Love 💘and Hugs 🌞
These are beautiful! I recently purchased the 12 in rods from your etsy store and I was thrilled to get a little hand written note! I used them right away to design a bracelet and necklace with earrings . I love them and love watching you use them to design as well! Thank you for your product and for sharing your talent!😍
Your work is so beautiful. You make it look so easy...unlike myself with beads being chased all over the place. 😂 You bring a calmness to the art of jewelry making...your cats play...mine chase wire. 😂 Thank you for your beautiful designs.
Luisa! You're the best! I love your introduction in the beautiful nature. How far are you from Montreal? Here we have the beautiful snow! I like to see the bright white snow from my window, but not to go outside for a long time. Your bracelets are gorgeous! 😍Your organisation and all the detailed descriptions below are impressive. Keep it up! 👍
As always I enjoyed your tutorial, I learn so much from you and you just inspire me. I love the way you take your time and really show what you are doing instead of rushing through like so many others do. Have a blessed day.
Thank you for the great tutorial Luisa. I just received my box yesterday and you have inspired me to start creating. The bracelet’s turned out beautiful. 💞✨🤗✨💞
I am always watching your videos. I still hope you make live videos people would love to know you more intimately. I should talk Iv'e hesitated starting my business online. Just craft shows. lol You have a beautiful personality and established your business name for it.
Luisa, I too love the sculptural look of trees in winter. Each is like its own work of art, showing off, silhouetted against the blue winter sky. Each one majestic in its own way and not afraid to bare themselves, scars and all. I think that is beautiful. I've got a question about transferring a pattern of beads from rods to beading wire. Could you just first offload the righthand end from your rod to the wire, however many you can grab at once. Bead-stopper that beginning end closed at the right-hand end, then you could move more sections of beads after that, from the right-hand end of the rod, going onto the left hand end of the beading wire, rather than transferring them one at a time to preserve the design. Am I making sense? It would be easier to show than to write about it. Regardless, these are beautiful! Stand-alone or mix-and-match. I love the toggles, but I also love your idea of stringing them on stretch cord. As always, I love what you're doing. We definitely have the same design aesthetic. Keep up the good work! You are truly an inspiration.
Thank you for the lovely poetic description of the trees. I love the way you write! Have I told you that before? 🥰 I think I understand your recommendation about offloading from the rod. My biggest issue is my limitation on how many beads I can offload at once. For example, if the bead pattern consists of a sequence that needs to be kept together to maintain the integrity of the pattern but it’s too long for my little fingers to hold the sequence, then I have to break it up into 2 parts. It’s not difficult but if I have “part 1” and “part 2” that need to be threaded on in that order, I have to ensure that I load them correctly to ensure I maintain the pattern. You’re right…it’s difficult to write it versus actually showing what I’m trying to describe. 😂🙂🌺🌼🌸
They’re all beautiful!! I saw a post where someone used the chunky tube and strung red ribbon through it and added red dangles - the red showed through the filigree openings and actually looked really pretty! I just thought I’d share the idea… Thank you for sharing! 💜
Thank you so much for the tutorial, I really enjoy watching and listening to you! Can I ask what brand your wire cutter is, I’m looking for a smaller head one to get into tight spots! Thanks again. 😍
I’m glad you saw my list. I use my yellow Lindstroms most of the time but if I’m cutting beading wire close to a crimp, I use my brand new Tronex because they’re nice and sharp 🙂🌺🌸🌼
Sarah, these are from the Bargain Bead Box and the January box is no longer available but they’re selling many of the items on their sister site “Bead Box Bargains”. Here’s the link: beadboxbargains.com/ . They may not have all of them but I took a quick glance and they definitely have some of them. Also, here’s a link to their subscription box in case you want to sign up for future releases: www.bargainbeadbox.com/subscribe/2015700179_bargain-bead-box?gift=False 🙂🌺🌸🌼
Hi, you make lovely jewelry, I am very new at beading I want to learn how to use wire but I don't understand when I hear soft, dead soft hard 🤔 Can you give me some advice on what type of wire to use. Also what type of wire that won't tarnish, in this tutorial the wire you are using will it tarnish? how would I know if the wire I use will tarnish or not.
Thank you Margie. Here’s a little info on wire: Craft wire is typically made from copper or brass, although other metals can also be used. The wire is usually coated with a thin layer of colored enamel or other materials to give it a bright and colorful finish, and also to protect it from tarnishing. The package will usually say it’s non-tarnishing. It’s available in a wide range of gauges, which refers to the thickness of the wire. Thicker gauges are stronger and more durable, while thinner gauges are more flexible and easier to work with. I like using the thinner gauges for wire wrapping, and the thicker gauges for simple loops. Here’s a good article on wire hardness: www.thesprucecrafts.com/what-wire-for-what-2048450#:~:text=Wire%20comes%20in%20three%20different,hard%2C%20and%20full%2Dhard
Really informative to have you pull the beads from the numbered bags and create a design. Thank you.
I love the bracelets and also am glad that you are doing outdoor videos so please continue making more outside tutorials with jewelry
These are stunning! I love the colors, especially the way the cranberry color one pops and picks up the red in the star of the show bead! 💕Sue🐝

I adore all 3 bracelets.
Thank you 😊
I just love the colors you used. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful day.
Thx for the video for me bracelets are the hardest to make their either to long or to short

Thanks for the inspiration Luisa! I made these and agree that the 3 toggles were a little much so made 2 as stretchy bracelets! They turned out great!
Your designs are beautiful! Love the fact that you use wire guardians and crimp covers! It gives the bracelet a lovely professional finish!
❤️
I love what you've done with this months box ‼️ My absolute favorite tutorial so far👏👏👏 Thank you Luisa ‼️✌️💕🙏🖖🌈

Oh that sounds really lovely! And what a great idea to use ribbon! I’ll have to try that some day. 🙂🌺🌼🌸
@@MistyMoonDesigns Yes, it’s really interesting and gives a different kind of texture! 💜😊🥰
I like it it’s really pretty
Thank you so much for the tutorial, I really enjoy watching and listening to you! Can I ask what brand your wire cutter is, I’m looking for a smaller head one to get into tight spots! Thanks again. 😍
Haha, never mind that question, I see you listed the wire cutter. Did I tell you I love how you list everything, and time stamp your videos! 😉
@@marykayholland6446 Me too!
I’m glad you saw my list. I use my yellow Lindstroms most of the time but if I’m cutting beading wire close to a crimp, I use my brand new Tronex because they’re nice and sharp 🙂🌺🌸🌼
Thank you Nad. I have them listed in the description section. I use both the Lindstrom and the Tronex cutters 🙂🌺🌼🌸
Great turtorial. You make it look so easy. Tfs hugs. New subbie here
Thank you for the video!!!

By the way, I’m really enjoying the magic rods for my bracelets. Thank you.
The rods are so handy. I didn’t even recognize the bracelets as BBB items! So creative and so pretty! Just love BBB.
Thank you for buying them 🙂🙏❤️
Thank you Helen 🙂🙏❤️
I like them I think they’re pretty a lot of people are on the way home
