how to make a wire bracelet
BLu MooN Jewelry asked:


I looked at Nymo, don’t know much about it though. I need a strong material thats not like craft wire really, but relatively inexpensive. I am kinda new at this. Thanks!

    Beading wire, you’ll find it in the beading section of any craft store and definitely in a good bead store.

    I used “Soft Flex” or “Soft Touch” wire. Nymo is good for beads that are not too heavy. You can check it out at Artbeads.com.

    i use for my necklaces and bracelets that i make stretch magic (most beading shops will sell this). you could also try your haberdashery store.

    Good luck

    Beadalon 49 strand beading wire…sold at Joann’s, Michael’s, etc. It’s strong and flexible, and also inexpensive. You just finish the ends with crimp beads. It comes in silver-plated, clear or gold plated. It looks nice if it happens to be exposed between your beads.
