yikespanic Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I know someone on Dinet was making bracelets, who are you???? Where do you get the clasps and what is a good thing to string them on that will hold up. This is the one I want to make, simialar to this one, but I want to make it myself, they cost way to much!http://www.n-styleid.com/beaded_medical_id_bracelet.htmI need pointers on how to do it right.I am going to order id tag by itself and go from there.Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyMouse Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 We talked about this a while back on the chit chat section--you can go to my personal webiste at http://www.missmightymouse.com and then look for the link on the top bar that says make your own bracelet.Also, I buy many of my beads and supplies from one source, fire mountain gems. http://www.firemountain.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yikespanic Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Oh thank you Nina! Now I am so excited!!!! I looked at the bead website, what size wire should I buy? There were so many. ThanksKim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 for gold and silver, the beads that are closest to the pix you said you liked are 5 or 6mm. For crystals, I go 3mm to 5mm depending on what type of accent I want. For bali spacer beads, I go no larger than 4mm. If you want a graduated look (going from larger in the center to smaller on the ends), start with 5-6mm, and work your way down.Crimp beads, I typically use the 3x2 or the 2x2. Lobster clasp: medium - or somewhere in the range of 9 to 12 mm.Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
