Before you begin, please take into consideration that this project is freeform; you will need to refer to the photos often to follow my exact design.
- Please begin by watching this video: How to Wire Wrap onto a Bangle.
- Mix your green and blue hex beads together. In these instructions, you will come across the term "hex bead(s)". Pick up a hex bead from random, or feel free to alternate between the two colors.
- Note that you will need to cut a new length of wire (however long you are comfortable with using) each time you run out of wire.
- You can start anywhere you wish. This bracelet is not truly based on a specific pattern, but more freeform. However, it does rotate around three combinations of beads, listed below. In between these rows, I added 4 wire-wraps without any beads:
- A) stringing 3 hex cut beads, a gold bead, 3 hex beads, a gold bead, 3 hex beads, a gold bead
- B) two hex beads, one gold, two hex beads, one gold, two hex, one gold, two hex, one gold, two hex
- C) stringing one gold bead, 3 hex, gold, 3 hex, gold, 3 hex (reverse of A)
- Please feel free to rotate and deviate from this pattern. If you would like to follow my exact steps, please refer to the photo.
- Complete these steps until you end up back at your starting point.
- You're all set!
