I finally got my wire crinkler and made this bracelet. I so enjoyed making it and am very pleased how it turned out. I will definitely be making many more. Thank you
You will use it again and again, I've used mine constantly for 6 years! I have been trying to get in contact with Beadalon Artistic Wire, the tool manufacturer for months now to find outlets in UK, USA, Canada, Europe, Australia and South America but unfortunately have yet to receive any response. But if you do a search local to you they are available of various platforms. Thank you xxx
Hi Meredith, I love this tool, Been using it solidly for absolutely years and even now I still find new ways of using it. THANK YOU for a very cool invention xxx
Thank you. The frame wire is 1mm, the zig zag sections 0.8mm and the tying together wire is 0.4mm. US equivalent gauges are listed in the video description xxx
Jem, do you have a tutorial that demonstrates how to attach the shepherd's hook clasp to the bracelet? I'm guessing you have a video for another project that shows how to best do this, but I can't seem to find it.
Hmmmm I don't think I uploaded a short that shows the technique, but you can warm the hook part and make it a little smaller, the end which usually connects to the drop earring is just repurposed into a loop that attaches onto one end of the bangle assembly ... hope this helps and thanks for watching xxx
I'm sure there must be a trick to this tool I'm missing, but I can't get it to go through. It keeps slipping out and when I get it lodged in, I can't turn it. I'm trying this with 20 ga. wire. Does it work with a smaller gauge?
Aim halfway up the cog eith the wire (20g is perfect but you can practice with 22g) and press down firmly onto the bench or desk. They can be stiff to begin with but very worth it once used a little.
Me too, I actually have used with 22ga dead soft copper to trial it and even when following the tutorial advice (placement and pushing both cogs down etc) I have some issues. It started to crack the acrylic cogs, so I used a wet and dry 2000 grit sandpaper around a wooden popsicle stick and sanded all the sides back smooth. I’m yet to try again since but hopefully it stops the wire getting gripped on the acrylic and being pushed down too far…. Sooo frustrating
@@JemHawkesI will, thanks so much. I’m also thinking I could try putting a v small bend on the end of the wire to get it started at the best height/level without the end being able to dig into the cog again. Once started I think I’ll be finding it more successful. I’ll comment again in a few days once I get to try again ❤

I feel your pain. It can be frustrating but so cool when it works. Great idea with the grits, let me know how it turns out xxx
