Get ready for a tropical getaway with this turquoise and bronze memory wire wrap bracelet featuring Czech Glass 2-Hole Cabochon beads surrounded by Toho seed beads.

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.

These instructions will give you a memory wire bracelet that wraps twice around the wrist. To adjust the size, cut larger or smaller loops of memory wire respectively. Note that if you want a longer bracelet you will need to purchase additional packages of cabochon beads.

Begin by cutting a piece of memory wire, 2 1/2 loops. Using your round nose pliers, make a simple wire loop, bending inwards, on one end of the wire. Set aside. Repeat this step once more, so that you have two pieces of wire.
To each wire string on one gold seed bead. Then string on one bronze two hole cabochon bead on to both wires. String on one gold seed bead to each wire, then string on one teal two hole cabochon bead on to both wires. Repeat this pattern 22 times and end with a teal cabochon and gold seed beads.
Make a simple wire loop at the end of each wire. Note: you may need to clip the wire a tiny bit. Make sure to leave 1/4" to make your loop.
