Absolutely! Just start and know you can always adjust it.

You definitely can use them as spacers which helps the eye see the beauty of the larger beads. I find getting a metric ruler and looking at the millimeters helpful for envisioning the size of beads. There are some websites that have bead size charts you can print.

Glad it helped.

Thanks for watching!

You are very welcome! Good luck!

I think what may be giving you trouble with the perfect circle is if you have beads with very large holes they can slip and not be centered on your cord. Or, if you have beads with odd drilled holes (like in stone chips) it will make the bracelet look wonky.

I’m in the Chandler Gilbert area. I have been thinking about classes but haven’t yet taken the leap!

Although I did do a specialty class for artists wanting to add a jewelry component to their work. So if you have 4-6 people that are interested in leaning something in open to exploring that.

I see this one a.co/d/3VIucVZ It was a long time ago but probabaly ordered from Amazon.

I believe you would still be looking at total length whether the beads are closer or not. That will affect number of beads.

You are very welcome! When we can understand the geometry and physical properties of our materials it makes it all so much easier.

This is a great idea. Tell me more about the type of clasps you are using. Lobster claw? Hook and eye? Toggle? Are you using beading wire with crimps or stretch cord? Can you say more about what you think is going on? The customers measuring themselves incorrectly? At the wrong part of the wrist/arm?

Thank you very much!! I’m so glad it can help you!

Hi. I am getting into some bracelet making, some necklace, some earring making...so brand new. I think i want a board like this lady and ive seen another video with one that had more "circles" but i like she spoke to the inches...i had different bead sizes i was stringing to make last nite and had to redesign a few times. On last time try the stretchy thread went snap n the beads went flying into the air...so i laughed and quit but also if u ever want to stay in touch to share thoughts n adventure hacks n stuff. Itd be great to have s human bead buddy... I think i will get some of those bead buddies instead of tape😂❤

Yes. If they are on wire with a clasp.

You’re welcome 😊. Thanks for the feedback.

Absolutely! Glad to help.

You are welcome. I purchased the board a very long time ago. Mostly likely it was Michaels or JoAnns.

The top L shape will go through the hole from the front, close the loop over it and that will be the top and stay behind the ear.

If it's only 1 or 2 beads probably won't make a significant difference. If it is several larger beads throughout the bracelet, I would use the larger size in the formula.

Glad it was helpful!

A couple of things to check. Definitely adding the 1/4 inch changed the formula. I’m wondering if when you measured her wrist if the measuring tape was a bit loose. Most people will wear stretch bracelets fairly close to the skin, not like a bangle.

Good luck! I hope it turned out great.

Thank you! I hope you feel inspired.

The circles are usually closer than the lines unless the beads are small. Maybe you are wearing your bracelet tighter than what you used to measure?

@azdesertgems6284 I think I get it now. The bracelet fits 6" wrist appears in 7" length in the straight line, not in the circles. I don't have circles between 5.5" and 5.9". So I don't know the exact size of my bracelet. I can stretch it a little bit and put it on 5.9". It means I could add one more bead and still will be fine. So 6" wrist fits 6" circle (approximately).

@@yekaterina6764 yes! That’s it! If I don’t want to calculate, I use the circles and do a little digging smaller or bigger by 1 or 2 beads if it falls between sizes

@dalenawatson2752 Thank you so much! 😊 What is the standard size you use for circles if you don't have a specific request?

@@yekaterina6764 I use 6”. I find some women want up to 6 1/2, or 7 or 8. But most of the time 6” fits the majority. I do find small boned women like myself do appreciate a few 5 1/2’s

You are very welcome!

Thank you! I’m so glad you found it valuable.

You're welcome!

So glad it helped.

Thanks! Too bad TH-cam doesn’t let people upload photos. I’d love to see what people make.

Thank you! 😊 I appreciate it.

You are so welcome! Glad it helped.

Absolutely! Hope you can find one that suits you best.

Thanks for asking! My 100% go to is just pliers and a pen and free handing it. After doing it so many times I can get pretty close to make matching pairs and I’m not too worried about tiny variations between pairs of earrings. Good luck on your jewelry making!

It eventually becomes muscle memory.

Thank you!

You slide the bent part in the earring hole from the front of the ear. Then hook the loop over it from the back.

These are the numbers for creating a circumference (geometry). I first learned these formulas from silversmiths measuring to determine the length of a ring band and adjusting for the thickness of the metal sheet.

@@azdesertgems6284 SPEAKING about 'RINGS'--- I make very small beaded rings and wonder how to convert if someone says they wear an 8 ring size?? I have measured mine straight in MM yet don't know the conversion for what they use as RING sizes... thank you. (obviously the 8 is not in inches nor mm) Alicia

It's the same formula. You measure across the inner part of the ring to get the diameter. There are size charts and ring sizers for this. Then: RING INNER DIAMETER + THICKNESS OF METAL/beads) X 3.14. That's the length needed for the ring.

You are so welcome! I’m happy to share!

Great! I’m glad it helped. I checked it out with some of my metalsmithing colleagues and then I did several tests with beads, measurements and calculating the formula to make sure it was correct .

You are so welcome! I’m glad it is helping so many people.

Thank you so much! I’m glad it is helping people.

I’m so glad it is helping!

Great! Thank you.

Glad it is helpful!

Thank you so much!

I’m so glad it helps!

I’m so glad it helped you!

Thanks. Each video I’m working on getting better video.

That’s very cool!
