    Between this episode and the one about making your own findings or clasps I know 90% more about beading than I did before.
    Thanks so much.

    You can decorate drinking glasses at a nice or themed set dinner. Memory wire around the glass with a little charm. I made a bracelet for a friend one year and the gift I gave her was cylinder in shape, so I put the memory wire bracelet around the outside of the wrapped gift as part of the decoration. (2 gifts in 1)

    Using memory wire I made a wrap around anklet for my granddaughter. It wrapped 3 times. Worked perfectly.

      Hi Janice, what a great idea, using the memory wire to make an anklet! I would love to know what size of memory wire you used, although I'm assuming that it must have been the largest bracelet size? I would love to make one for my niece Frankie, who just turned 13 a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for sharing this with us. Merry Christmas to you and your family, from Amanda in Australia xox

    I wish I knew this about the memory wire cutting pliers years ago, I ruined so many regular pliers from myself and also from the toolbox from my hubbie, that I got rid of all that had to do with this kind of craft, I did become sick of it. So thank you Allie from all of those who in the future want to work with memory wire, can be a great lot of fun if you have the proper equipment......

    Hi, I've been looking for a tutorial on how to work with memory wire and came across your channel. Great tutorial.
    I have a query about the size of the gauge. Regarding a bead size which may affect the weight of memory wire, do we use a specific size gauge?
    I would also like to ask, can I use the memory wire to thread and shape a hollow leather cord for necklace ? The necklace will not be a whole circle.
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    • @Potomacbeadco
      @Potomacbeadco  2 года назад

      You could use the memory wire to feed into your leather. Also, this is the wire we use for our bracelets www.potomacbeads.com/memory-wire-bracelet-2-25-gold-plated#attr=2329,2330,2331

    • @annitagalvan9049
      @annitagalvan9049 2 года назад

      Thanks a lot for your response.
      Rather a silly question, if the loop of the memory wire is smaller of the neck or the leather loop design is not a choker style, can I stretch the memory wire to the height I want or will it break?
      Thanks a lot.

    • @Potomacbeadco
      @Potomacbeadco  2 года назад

      @@annitagalvan9049 The memory wire pretty much stays the same and does not stretch however there are different size loops in the memory wire www.potomacbeads.com/memory-wire

    I have an 8 inch wrist. When I measure from one side of my wrist to the other side. It is just over 3 inches.
    So my question is, will the large bracelet size work for me? Or should I go with the necklace size.
    Or maybe the oval would work better for me?

    • @Potomacbeadco
      @Potomacbeadco  2 года назад

      We have Designers with bigger wrist that still use the bracelet size and it stretches nice. Though the oval will give you an unique look too that will fit

      A flat round disc gemstone may be a little on the fragile side. Here is a video on Citrine you may find helpful! ruclips.net/video/UNP0TaB-s54/видео.html

    Can you solder to the memory wire

      @Potomacbeadco  Год назад

      You can but it is very difficult and it's not practical.
