If you are making a memory wire bracelet, then you have ordered the wrong wire, that one will not work the same as memory wire, which is tempered and stronger.

And you won't need pins for a memory wire bracelet

Hi everyone. I did my first order from Jillybeads last Friday and as yet I haven't had a despatch email. I paid by paypal. Can you tell me if this is normal bearing in mind Monday was bank holiday. Thanks

This sounds fine to me flourgirl. I have used Jilly Beads many times and this sound ok.

That is the sort of stuff you need.

Thanks Kandipandi, do you use this seller too?

samanthalvsben

if my coil is 60mm diameter what size beads should i get? 4mm or 6mm?

sethsgran

For memory wire bracelets I always use a variety of size beads I have used up to 12mm but I prefer that size to be round or oval, square doesn't sit as well when larger, just my opinion :0
