    To create a wider bracelet, prepare a second strand and join it with the first using the RAW technique.

    I enjoy Ally's tutorials, the pieces are lovely. For every pattern I've attempted to make there have always been out-of-stock items. I've had to order from multiple sources to find all the items. Other than that, all is well.

    The delivery was great. It came on time and the company paid great attention to my product delivery. I have an art studio. I do all kinds of things from pottery, art with water colors, inks, oils, and more. But making jewelry has turned into another passion and your products are lovely and will make some great jewely. Thank you for doing what you do. I will be looking at your sight and might ask you about findings and stones too. Gracias
