Holidays and all! ...Sorry for the late reply, Barb. Holidays and all! I didn't have a specific pattern; just worked off a basic flat spiral, using larger beads at the front, and then graduating down to slightly smaller beads for the back. This YouTube video teaches the same basic flat spiral, and you'd just have to decrease your bead sizes on each end of the necklace to get the same result I did. Have fun!<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTopJQR4fMESweet Freedomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15174205709581795573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101755558255659890.post-37503336643758394962020-12-21T19:39:02.183-05:002020-12-21T19:39:02.183-05:00Is there a pattern for this bracelet?

However, not long after I stitched this bracelet, the dye lot was changed significantly by the manufacturer, and it is now much more yellow, and doesn’t at all look like it looks in this bracelet. I was hugely disappointed.Sweet Freedomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15174205709581795573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101755558255659890.post-56159928089888678302020-05-11T12:31:21.252-04:002020-05-11T12:31:21.252-04:00Your designs are wonderful as are your color waves...Your designs are wonderful as are your color waves.

You can stilldo it shilst the thread is doubled u just need to get the hang of it. It takes me less than 30 seconds to join thread and u will never pull it apart. Go to utube and search JOINING FIRELINE. You can actually use this method for any nylon thread that u can melt. Its so easy.

Dave also carries a coil holder, but it only has a small groove, and won't allow for much variability in coil size (and therefore in jump ring diameter)<br /><br />The coil holder came from Rio Grande - it is item number 110177 (http://www.riogrande.com/Search/jump-ring-coil-holder) - but right now it is saying "unavailable" - I would call Rio to verify, because this is a very popular item. Between the 4 sides, it will hold anything from very very small to ginormous jump ring coils. Very versatile. The holder has a slit in the top for your blade, and a blade stop in the bottom to get the blade to stop before you get to the end where the screw is. THe 2 screws are extremely important to get your coil to hold still while cutting!<br /><br />Good luck!Sweet Freedomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15174205709581795573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101755558255659890.post-55257148050246756022015-09-22T11:00:58.196-04:002015-09-22T11:00:58.196-04:00I was cruising the internet looking for a jump rin...I was cruising the internet looking for a jump ring mandrel set, and I found this post. I'm currently taking classes in metal jewelry making, and I'm looking for some good, easy to use tools. Where did you find your mandrel set? I'm also very intrigued by your holder. It looks like there's a slot to cut the coil, but I'm not getting how you would cut the jump rings if the screws are at the ends. Where did you find it? Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.
