Note: Only use memory wire cutters to cut memory wire. It is exceptionally strong wire and it will damage traditional jewelry making cutters.
- Begin this project by watching the video: How to Make a Memory Wire Bracelet using Czech Fire Polished Glass Beads. Your project will be using different beads, but the technique for finishing the memory wire ends, stringing the beads, and adding the charm will be exactly the same.
- Cut your 12 loop memory wire in half so that you have 6 complete loops.
- Finish one end of the memory wire with a loop.
- String on 3 jasper cubes, 9 turquoise magnesite rondelles, 3 jasper cubes, and 1 metal bead. Repeat this sequence 13 times or until you reach almost the end of your memory wire. Make sure to leave approximately 1/4 inch of memory wire after the last bead. Create another loop to finish this end and keep your beads from falling off.
- Open a jump ring and link it to your charms as well as one of the loops. Close the jump ring.
- All done!
- Enjoy!
