Need a little help with memory wire? This video is shows how to design with memory wire as well as the basics of cutting the memory wire, curling the ends, and adding charms to the look.
Prepare Memory Wire: Cut the memory wire to the desired number of loops based on wrist size, using memory wire cutters to avoid damage.
Design Selection: Choose a design pattern for your bracelet, whether it's a single bracelet with mixed materials or separate bracelets for each material type.
Bend the Ends: Curl one end of the memory wire to prevent beads from slipping off, using round nose pliers to create a small, closed loop.
Add Beads and Charms: String beads onto the wire in your chosen pattern, pushing them down towards the looped end. Optionally, add charms with head pins for additional decoration.
Finalize the Design: Once all beads are added, curl the other end of the wire to secure the design. If desired, add more charms for a personalized touch.
Wear Your Creation: Enjoy wearing your memory wire bracelet, which can be easily put on and taken off by coiling around the wrist.

It's basically fine. A little annoying that the cart items don't link back to the full item description, but this is a nit pick. Company seems all right.

For some reason the drop down menus don't work. Hover the mouse cursor over it, then try to click on something under it and nothing happens. I would have bought more if I could have looked around.

order form was difficult as it wasn't clear to me if the jewelry pattern was going to be shipped to me, or provide a website to retrieve a pdf of the pattern also: I didn't have my password, so requested to make a new one, and again, directions were not clear, tho I followed what it said, and it did not provide an oppty to create new password, just took me back to my order page!
I'm buying patterns because of the 50% mix and match sale, but the 50% off did not show up. So, it looks like I'm paying full price. I'm glad I was able to use rewards points, but nonetheless it's upsetting.

Good site. Good product. But the purchase today did not apply discount. Frustrating.

Very informative. I would like to know the stitches used to make each kit. Beautiful kits make it difficult to decide which to purchase.

The pearls were all nice except the cranberry color. I would not recommend them.

I love buying from Potomac, shopping is easy and the order arrives in a timely fashion. This was my first time buying kits, I love that I have extra beads now to add to my stash! I will be looking for more sales on kits to purchase again! Thank you for all you do to make my beading addiction more fun!
