I have been teaching at my church and at a local college. All the students have been great. A good lesson of my experience is to use a hook pin at the end, thread it through the final twist of wires and secure the twist, and then thread the hook through a bead cap, bought or made and finish with a closed jump ring on one side and the clasp on the other. Then you don't have to worry of the last twist wires fraying or sticking the person who bought it. It also looks more finished. margehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04881640858951211237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22368886.post-28093059664569039652019-04-26T22:48:45.924-05:002019-04-26T22:48:45.924-05:00Definitely giving it a try...thank youDefinitely giving it a try...thank youNlargent35https://www.blogger.com/profile/10033594336598763928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22368886.post-61583828247741815822016-02-24T23:15:48.354-06:002016-02-24T23:15:48.354-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710789472190522622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22368886.post-52905117154035257362016-02-24T23:15:36.382-06:002016-02-24T23:15:36.382-06:00Thank you for a great tutorial.

There were also two bright green beads to give it a little pop of color. The second was in shades of blue with a few pearly white beads and some clear ones. The third bracelet was all shades of blue. But, instead of using six wires, I used nine. Instead of dividing the wires into twos for the braiding, I divided it into threes. It was a pain to keep those nine strands from twisting where they shouldn't during the braiding process but the bracelet came out looking gorgeous. I've used silver colored 30 gauge wire for all three bracelets and I used a size H crochet hook. I used small magnetic closures so the recipient can put on and take off her own bracelet. Most of the beads I used were six millimeter ones but I also have used a few eight millimeter and even four millimeter ones. I have used mostly round beads but some were disk shaped and some were cubes. Glass or faceted beads are particularly lovely. I'm curious to see how a twelve wire bracelet would work. I'm also contemplating making a bracelet from wooden beads. These bracelets are fun to make and they are very easy to make. I'm so grateful to have learned how to make these bracelets.
