This bangle uses 2.5 inch diameter memory wire. You can adjust the size by choosing a different size of memory wire or by adding additional cork cord to create more wraps around the wrist. Please note that the cork is cut to order by the inch. You will also need a toothpick or scrap of wire for this project.
