Sorry for your loss. I lost my cat the day after Christmas. Much love.

@@anitagale1283 Thank you, I keep looking for him to come out of the spots were he laid. My other cat seemed to look for him for a while, not so much now. So sorry for your loss also. Mary

.... so, I'm just curious do you also have a suggestion as to how SHE is supposed to see what SHE'S doing if she's got the camera down over her hands blocking her view just so that you can have a closer view of what's going on?? I personally thought her shots were very good and quite easy to follow!!!

@@bonniej3918 I wasn't making that suggestion in a mean way. I'm very new to this and I've just noticed in other people's videos but they have close-ups of their hands and what they're doing how they do that I don't know like I said it wasn't mean-spirited just a suggestion for those of us that are brand new to it. It was not meant to offend anyone. And I like her stuff very much and I would like to be able to learn to do it she's very good at what she does. No need to take it and the negative way

Susan did a couple of scalloped bangle tutorials that explain this very thing! There is one that is soldered and one that is a no solder scalloped bangle.

Hi! We are sold out of these at the moment, but do a quick internet search for these exact keywords, "artistic wire crimp tubes for 14ga wire." This should get you to them!

Hi! We actually sell all the products, but are sold out of these crimp tubes & 14ga wire. Here is the style number that you can plug in to a google search and find them! They are made by artistic wire: Artistic Wire A346B-054 Large Wire Crimp Connectors

This is a 14ga half hard wire. It's a thicker wire. Dead soft is really only going to be in the higher gauges like 22, 24, 26 and 28. They are thinner wires and are used more for wire wrapping. Check out this video about the differences in wire hardness: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdGDeq9i28iyeGw.html Hope this helps!

Hi Jessica! Yes. This kit is brass which is gold all the way through!

They are so hard to find! We sold out of them very quickly. Try a google search for these keywords, "Artistic Wire Large Crimp Tubes 10mm"

Hey Gabriela! 16 gauge would be perfect for hoops!!

HI Pamelia! You can find all of the tools used in this video in the link description.

Where can I find these tools to make bangles?

Hi Carol, that's a great question. When we don't have a large enough gauge wire on-hand, we often will double up the wire by coiling it 2x around a bracelet mandrel or rolling pin, attaching the two ends (by twisting or crimping, and then wrapping all around the bracelet with thinner wire. It's great to do this in an organic fashion, adding beads along the way to make what Susan calls a "crazy bangle"! We will add this to our list for future demos!

Donna, yes we did! In fact, we have two! Here are the links: Round Bracelet Mandrel: www.jtv.com/product/jewel-school-r-round-bracelet-mandrel-15-length/JSPLT14A?mcid=XSOjsyt Oval Bracelet Mandrel: www.jtv.com/product/jewel-school-r-oval-bracelet-mandrel-15-length/JSPLT14B?mcid=XSOjsyt

@@JewelSchool Wow! what a mega reply! useful! informative! grateful to you!

Hi! Thanks for being a subscriber! These are specifically, Artistic Wire Large Wire Crimp Connectors. You can find them with a quick internet search of that specific term. 😉 We don't carry them currently. Hope this helps!

Hi Susan. here is a link to some wire and crimp tubes: www.jtv.com/product/5-spools-of-asst-color-14g-8-braid-square-wire-105-pcs-total-12g-crimp-tubes/JSKIT0645?mcid=XSOjsyt

Use the same gauge crimp tube as the wire you use for the bracelet your making. In this case it's 14ga. Hope this helps!

The short answer is no. The crimp tool used in this video is made specially for these larger sized crimp tubes. The crimp tubes normally used for strung beads is smaller. We're out of stock on this kit, but here is a link to the crimper you will need and you get two different sizes! JSKIT0676, Standard and Mighty Crimp Tool www.jtv.com/product/standard-and-mighty-crimp-tool-kit/JSKIT0676 Also, here is a new link to the wire and crimp tubes. We hope this helps and good luck! www.jtv.com/product/5-spools-of-asst-color-14g-8-braid-square-wire-105-pcs-total-12g-crimp-tubes/JSKIT0645

If you're just starting out, you can just get whatever brand is available and affordable (ie $5-$15). The pliers and cutters carried by Walmart, Michaels, and Hobby Lobby are always perfectly fine. I also recommend PandaHall, which is a low-cost Chinese brand that you can easily buy through Ali Express. If you're looking for top quality, the best is probably Lindstrom, but it's like $40-60 a pair. Wubbers is also very good quality, but generally cost $30 and up. Hope that helps!

Hello! The crimp tubes only come with the wire to my knowledge.

@@onwa.beauty Thank you!

I found them, i will order and try to make them....Im like a gypsy, i love bracelets....Thank you sooo much! I have permanent (Eternity Bracelets) on my right arm, wish i could learn how to make them, Do you know how to make them? They torch them on your arm... Thank you!

@@mzjazz5737 I wish if you find a video please share !!!

Mostly we use medium wire. Softer wires are best used for wire wrapping.

Yes you can!

I believe I have seen Laura use the Om Tara for these bangles. I would try it before picking up this specialty crimper!

.925 sterling silver or karat gold is your best bet. These will be more expensive wires. Hope this helps!

@@JewelSchool Thank you

In the video she said 16 is ok.

No. This is is a plated, non tarnish wire. It has a base metal, usually copper.

Hi Barb! You can find the 14 gauge wire in the link in the description!

Yvonne Williams (who has an excellent KZfaq channel) swears by Parawire, she loves them! I don't see why you couldn't use inexpensive aluminum or copper wire, just be sure to work-harden it by hammering like in this video.

@@tyrroo thanks for your reply. I am subscribed to Yvonne's channel, just wanted a 2nd opinion!

Hi Francie! The 12 gauge crimp tubes are included in the kit in the link included in the description.

Hey Kayla! That mandrel is great isn't it!? JTV is currently out of stock on this particular one, but I am sure if you do a quick Google search, you just might find what you need!
