PROJECT PROJ-JB-B0022

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.

You can choose how many loops you want this bracelet to be.
  1. To make this bracelet, please watch the video: How to Wire Wrap Beads onto Memory Wire. This video will show you how to start your bracelet by making a loop with your round nose pliers, how to wire wrap your beads, and then it also walks you through how to end your bracelet.
  2. Cut a little over one loop of memory wire using your memory wire cutters; you want about an inch and a half overlap.
  3. Start with 34 inches of wire and follow the instructions of the video to make your bracelet. You can add your beads in any pattern you desire. If you like the look of the photo, add 13 Czech glass beads followed by 13 gemstone beads. Make the main part of your bracelet.
  4. Once the main part of your bracelet is complete, make the two dangles. To do this, place onto a head pin a Czech glass bead and start to make a wrapped wire loop but before you do your wrappings, attach it onto one of the bracelet loops. Complete your wrappings and trim your tail. If needed, please watch the video: How to Make a Wrapped Wire Loop for Jewelry Making.
  5. Repeat the previous step to make a gemstone dangle. All done! Enjoy!
