You can make this bracelet wider if you add additional strands of beads. If you choose this option, I suggest not pre-cutting your memory wire before beginning the project.
- Cut your memory wire so that you have 6 continual coils (loops).
- Finish one end of the cut memory wire with a simple loop. To see how to do this, please watch the video: How to Finish Memory Wire Ends.
- String onto your memory wire: 1/2 the strand of 4mm gemstone cube beads, the strand of 8.5mm pale blue amazonite beads - but leave 2 beads unstrung, and the other half of your 4mm gemstone beads. Create a simple loop (as seen in the video) after your last bead and cut off excess memory wire.
- Place onto a head pin one 8.5mm pale blue amazonite bead. Create a simple wire loop after the bead and snip off excess wire. Repeat this step with another head pin and bead.
- Open the simple wire loops on the dangles above (the same way you would open a jump ring) and connect one to each of the loops on the bracelet. Close the loops back up.
- All done!
