A beautiful bracelet and great tutorial, so clearly demonstrated. You asked us how we might have put it together. Because I loved the way the two pk strands sat so perfectly together I would have put them together in the centre.

Thank you, Jane. That's interesting. I love to know how others would have done things differently to how I do them.

Wow! That is so Beautiful! Thank you! And you're right. It looks complicated but when you break it down it's pretty simple. Except ... Know what part of making it I find scary overwhelming (in my head) to do? The crimping. After all this time I still have trouble crimping the second end of a necklace or bracelet, no matter what method I use. Getting the tension right. Getting the pliers fit in the space needed to crimp the tube. I planned to use my magic crimping plyers the other day on a project and I couldn't squish down on the tube without squishing everything around it. Had to find a plan B. Crimp covers? For me, easy peasy. Crimping itself? Always a nightmare. I cannot even begin to tell you how many times I've had to take something completely apart and restring it because I got the second crimp wrong. And yet you make it look so easy! Tutorials like this encourage me to press on and try, try again because I do love making beautiful things and crimping is a part of it. 🙂Thank you.

Hi Deborah, I totally get that. I'll let you into a little secret - I sometimes have that same issue - especially with my Magical Crimping plier. I think it's about getting the right amount of space that you can crimp it and not getting any gaps between the beads. I don't have any pearls of wisdom for you except that it's about practice. I know, I say that all the time, but that's the best advice I can give you. I'm assuming you've watched the 3 ways to crimp video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrx4h8agvtmdook.htmlsi=IP5-r_MMhZyubjRB

That bracelet is beautiful, thank you for sharing. Did you use acrylic and glass beads together? I am always back and forth wether to use the beads together. I always think it might not look classy mixing them.

@The_Stylish_Maker 6 ай бұрын

Yes, I used glass and acrylic in the same project and I often do. I don't really worry about what materials I mix together as long as they look good. I know some people don't like using acrylic beads but they are much lighter - glass beads can be very heavy. I also think some acrylic beads are very pretty.

Thank you Carol. Gorgeous bracelet. I have a suggestion … would it be possible to give an estimate of how much this bracelet will cost to make? And other tutorials as well as you do them?

@The_Stylish_Maker 8 ай бұрын

Thank you so much. I have thought about that but I can only give the price in New Zealand dollars. I think things are probably a lot more expensive here too. This one, in NZD would have cost around $47. That's quite high but it used a lot of glass and metal beads. I don't think the price I would give would be relevant to anyone in other parts of the World.
