  1. Begin by making a simple wire loop on one end of the memory wire facing in towards the center.
  2. String on all the beads.
  3. Once you have all the beads on the memory wire, use your memory wire cutters to trim the wire, leaving a tail of 1/2 inch. Then make another simple wire loop facing in towards the center.
  4. Then please watch our video: Different Ways to Embellish Memory Wire Bracelets. In this video you will see how to load one crystal onto each headpin and make a wrapped wire loop, then use one jump ring to attach three dangles to one loop of the memory wire. Repeat for the second loop.
