This ring memory wire has a diameter at 3/4". It will bend open like a spring but will be a sung fit. Feel free to adjust by adding more loops and beads to this design.
- Please watch our video: How to Use Memory Wire Glue In Ends. From what you learned in the video, string on one silver bead, add glue and then add one end cap. Press them together to secure the end. Allow to dry.
- Then to the other end string on eight silver beads, one 4mm turquoise bead, one silver bead, one 6mm turquoise bead, one silver bead, one 4mm turquoise bead, and eight silver bead.
- Finally trim the end of the memory wire with the memory wire cutters so you have about 1/4 inch. Carefully add a dab of glue to the end, add one more silver bead and add a memory wire end. You may need to hold it in place for a few minutes for the bond to take. But be sure to let dry for 24 hours for maximum bond.
