Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

To make this bracelet, you can either put the beads on randomly or in a pattern of your choosing.

Do not pre-cut your wire.
Begin by watching the video: How to Finish Memory Wire Ends with Finial Beads. Using GS Hypo Cement, glue a Finial bead to your memory wire end. Let dry.
Place your beads onto the memory wire in a random order. Tip: alternate sizes of beads to create a varied interesting look. You can also cluster beads and put 3 or 5 of the same bead in a row together for a blocking pattern. Feel free to refer to the project photo for inspiration.
When you have finished placing all your beads, cut your wire so that approximately 1/4" remains. Create a simple wire loop after the last bead.
Place 1 or 2 beads of your choosing onto a ball head pin. Create a simple wire loop after the bead and link to the loop you just made on your memory wire bracelet, opening the loop on our dangle the way you would open a jump ring.
Repeat the previous step 2 more times, adding 2 more dangles. All done! Enjoy!
