- Begin by cutting your memory wire with memory wire cutters so that you have 3 complete loops. Onto one end, create a simple wire loop.
- If you like, you can also watch the video: How to Make a Memory Wire Bracelet with Pastella Beads. This video will show you a lot of the basics including cutting the wire, making the loop, stringing the beads, and finishing the bracelet.
- For the stringing of the beads, there was no real set pattern other then the largest purple bead being added every inch or so and then making sure to add a gold bead of some form every 2 to 3 beads. Other then that, it was all fairly random. Please look at the photograph for inspiration.
- Continue adding beads until you have around 1/4 of an inch left of wire. Grab this wire with your round nose pliers and create a simple wire loop.
- To create your first dangle, place a rondelle, a gold bead, a 3mm round bead, and a seed bead onto a head pin. Create a simple wire loop after the last bead and trim off excess wire. For the second dangle just add a rondelle, a gold bead, and a 3mm round bead to a head pin and create a simple wire loop. Finally for the 3rd dangle add a rondelle and a 3mm round bead to a head pin and create a simple wire loop.
- Open the simple wire loops on all the dangles (the same way you would open a jump ring) and link them to one of the loops on your bracelet. Make sure to close up the loops once you have attached them.
- All done. Enjoy!
