How can i make a really wide friendship bracelet?

Posted by admin on June 3rd, 2010 and filed under bracelet | 1 Comment »

I can make bracelets pretty easy, and am getting better at the different knots, but i am having a hard time getting the bracelet to stay flat. It seems the wider i go, the more curved it becomes. I was taught to tie each know pretty tight, and have tried to loosen them as its gets wider. Does anyone have any pointers?

When knotting your bracelet don’t pull to tight that will do that also here is a website that could help
Just sine up and they can really help you

What happens when you shower with a silver bracelet?

Posted by admin on May 29th, 2010 and filed under bracelet | 4 Comments »

I got a silver bracelet today, and It’s kinda hard to put on but it fits nicely. Every time i take a shower I will have to take it off then spend another 30 mins putting it back on. What happens when you shower with a silver bracelet on? Will it rust?

Your bracelet will turn dark slowly. It will loose its shine. If it has a Poly Urethene (PU) coating then it will not.

If the surface of your bracelet is very smooth and shining, it means it has PU coating.

3 to 1 Bracelet

A customer asked how to make a 3 stranded bracelet end cleanly into a toggle! Well I am not sure if this what she had in mind, but this is my solution, for now anyway. I have used this technique for multi stranded necklaces but not a bracelet. I am pleased with the result and I hope this will be good option for ending a 3 stranded bracelet into a toggle cleanly!

How can I send a bracelet to a friend via postal office?

Posted by admin on May 26th, 2010 and filed under bracelet | 1 Comment »

She lives 4 hours away by car and we are in the same country (Romania).
Can I place the bracelet in an envelope and mail it?

I would put it in a small box and get insurance on it. In the US it is not very expensive.

I have a steel bracelet which is very shiny. How can I give it a consistent brushed steel effect ?

I need to do this to remove the glittery effect. The bracelet is expensive so I dont want to replace it.

Steel wool.
