I made some and my mum suggested to sell them but I don’t know what an appropriate price be.
My bracelets are good but there not crap quality. I make the candy stripe ones, chinese staircases and more. Should they be like a dollar each? Should it depend if the more complicated the design, higher the price?
sell them on ebay, and start it at a bid you like and watch it go up.
I saw some really cool pictures in google of these nice hemp bracelets and i cant find how to make them ANYWERE! Its getting on my nerves.
There is this one that looks braided multipul times and i wanna learn how to make it!!! If you find a site or actually know how to make it HELP is greatly needed.

This is the best I could do for you. Please go through the various entries and find the one that has the amount of strands you are using and they will show you how to complete your bracelet.

im going to gran canaria next week and i have heard alot about these bracelets that weird morroccan women force on you then charge u like 20euro to get it off. i was just wondering what they are like and if i could carry around a lighter (as i smoke) and burn them off or carry around small scissors and cut them off.
Thanks
I went to Gran Canaria for two weeks last year and I didn’t encounter any women trying to force bracelets on anyone.
Just make sure that no one touches your arm. Firmly say No – or even "f**k off" – they will understand that, I am sure.
I’m going to the mall tomorrow and I was wondering what store in the mall that I can get animal bracelets from? They’re also known as "silly bandz", if that helps!
oh those colorful elastics shaped as animals?
I saw those in dollerama. (if you live in Canada)
Or maybe a doller store where ever you live.
Edit: i just found them,
They don’t say silly bandz but they say animal shaped elastics. 12 pieces. with a dog, duck, rabbit, cat, pig, turtle.
And they say Dollarama on the plastic cover. Well, it can be a cheaper version of silly bandz :p
I like to make bracelets from glass beads and the clear elastic beading material. When I use a fixative to secure the knot, the bracelet seems to break easily where the fixative is. It seems to become brittle. If I simply knot it, it becomes untied. I’d like to keep my creations, and not only wear once or twice. I also would like to know if anyone has any good suggestions for finishing off wired bracelets, as I always seem to finish off in an unattractive manner. Thanks!
There is a flat elastic called gossamar floss. It is strong and you use it with a fine flexable wire steel needle used for jewelry making. If you double the floss it makes the bracelet stronger. You have to take in account that when using glass beads and any elastic it will break soon or later. The weight of the beads causes the elastic to stretch after a period of time. I find that the gossamar floss works the best. You get a little more wear out of the bracelets than other beading elastic.
P.S. Don’t use crimps beads on elastic. You are only cutting through the elastic.

As far as finishing off wired bracelets. I am assuming you are using wire like softflex or bead-a-lon.
If so, they sell wire guards. They finish the end of the wire so there is no wire showing when you go through your clasp and back through your crimp bead. Also, if you don’t like your crimp bead to show there is a product called crimp bead covers. If you use a 21 strand or 19 strand wire then you would use the wire guard to fit that wire. Crimp covers they sell the small and large. The small would be the size of a 3mm bead and the large size a 4mm bead. You have to use a crimping tool in order to use these. Also I always use 2×2 crimp beads.

Hope this little bit of info helps.
I have never worked with horse hair before, well only when it was still on the horse lol. Acually I havn’t made bracelets since I was very little and I want to start making stuff again. How do you suggest I make the ends? With what type of clasp? Thanks!
I don’t know anything about working with horse hair, so I cannot say, but it sounds like you need crimp ends that are made for cords. These use glue to hold the material in place within the crimp, then you fold the ends over the material once the glue dries. It has a loop on the end of it to attach the clasp. I am not sure I described that very well, but I tried. Sorry. I don’t know how to attach pictures here from my PC.
Ok so i just bought these friendship bracelets from Claire’s. They are already made I just need to know how to tie them on so they won’t come off. Someone please help.
just a normal knot, once put on you cant really take them off though.
Does anyone have the authentic sterling silver heart tag bracelet and could give me some insight?
Thanks!
does it have the copy right symbol (c) on the back of it? like : © TIFFANY & CO. 925 ?
yeah they have that stamped onto the heart. i have the bracelet and i have a necklace and both say "return to tiffany" on the front. then the back has the tiffany and co 925 on it.
I am going to a party tomorrow and i have to wear one of those id bracelets. Its a pool party so how do i cover it up to avoid people asking me questions.
I don’t want to tell people why i have it (chemo)
haha i am announcing it here because my friends dont go on here.
Even if they did they wont know its me : P
Get like one of those big bangles like these one: http://cache.gifts.com/photos/U/5/U/5/U5U5V5TFDDG9426LNULM_L.jpg and then tape the bracelet under the bangle so no one will see it. The bangle will also look good Hope I Helped. Good Luck.
