Titan chains

The main thing to keep in mind is that it is going to take forever the first time you do these with the actual wire. DO NOT GET FRUSTRATED AND PUT IT DOWN, no matter how hard you want to! You are not going to get the feel for the work unless you persevere. And, I promise, that your weaving gets better as you keep going. Once you have figured out how to be consistent, you can keep weaving to the designated length and cut off the lousy bits.

This is pulled from page 20 of this thread.... And I want to THANK Anonemoose for this help. I rarely put the chain nose pliers down. I spent a few hours without them on day 1. Picked some up at Hobby Lobby with a coupon (so little further investment) on day 2, and instantly gained the confidence that I could do this. I have just the end caps to do on my first style 2 bracelet before I send one of each out for review tomorrow.

This has been a great thread and I too would not have tried Titan Chains without learning that some had had success. I find the work to be just what I need to keep my hands busy while watching TV at night. I'll be stuck with the games on my phone again while I await their evaluation...

Thanks again to all!

Thank you for sharing that. I'm going to go ahead and send the samples and see what happens.

I have been using chain nose pliers also and they are great for grabbing the wire and pulling it through the weave.

Good luck with your review.

Glad to see I was of help!

I had to give up making anything for Titan, but that's only because I don't have the time to get a batch done within the time frame. That is purely on me, and no one else.

If anyone ever has questions, please feel free to PM me as I'm not checking in on this thread regularly. These are absolutely fun bracelets to do, and have the added bonus of instant gratification.

Titan are very good people, so don't give up. They understand the work they ask of people and are awesome communicators.

Thanks, Anonemoose for sharing your knowledge and tips. It is very kind of you to remain available to assist even though you no longer make the bracelets. You are right about the chain nose pliers. I prefer them over the round nose for the bulk of the work.
I agree wholeheartedly about Titan; it is a great company. I've written for content mills, mystery shopped, did TQA for Demand Studios and made bracelets for Titan. I prefer this work and working for this company hands down.

I'm glad some of you are having a good experience with this company. I tried them and did not have a good experience with them. When I tried to email them I got no replies. I recieved the starter kit missing part of the kit. I sent it back and they refused to refund my money becaust they claimed I kept part of the kit. That was not the case at all unfortunately it was their word against mine and in the end they kept my money. I have heard so many mixed stories about this company. I hope for you in a year from now you will still be saying how much you enjoy it. I have moved on and found my niche with a few other companies. In the end I don't respect this company since they chose to keep money that didn't belong to them.

Well...I've read all of the post (3x) good and bad .....and I have decided to try it! I did some practicing like suggested and it went fairly well. Hope I can make a few extra bucks doing this. I have lots of time on my hands. Thanks for all the tips! Wish me luck!

All the best, Truckwife, on your journey with Titan!

I too just ordered my starter kit w/ them today. I choose to go w/ the faster shipping method. It cost an extra $6 but don't want to have to wait 8-10 days to get the kit. I currently have my own business but business is so slow I need something to supplement my income and I currently have lots of time on my hands. I too hope it works out for me. I will keep everyone posted how it works out for me.

Good luck Truckwife and Kim. I used express shipping and got my kit within a few days.

I'm still waiting for my sample reviews.
