Peppermint/Bronze Memory Wire Bracelet: Project Instructions

Memory wire bracelets are not only simple to make, they're easy to wear as well! Memory wire is a hardened wire that holds its shape - which means that a clasp is not necessary as the bracelet can be wrapped onto the wrist.

MATERIALS REQUIRED

7 loops bracelet memory wire
70 plain metal balls
70 large star bead caps
35 x 8mm round faceted glass crystals
34 plain curved metal tubes

TOOLS REQUIRED

Twirly Wirlie Pliers
Memory Wire Cutters

INSTRUCTIONS

Take your bracelet memory wire and twirl one end into a loop using the twirly wirlie pliers. Thread on:

a plain metal ball
an large star bead cap
an 8mm round faceted glass crystal
an large star bead cap
a plain metal ball
a plain curved metal tube

Repeat the pattern until you are happy with the length (we used 35 round faceted glass crystals). Finish by threading on another plain metal ball, an large star bead cap, an 8mm round faceted glass crystal, an large star bead cap and one more plain metal bead. Cut off any excess memory wire using your memory wire cutters, leaving 15mm of wire bead-free. Use your twirly wirlies to make a full loop at the end of the wire. Your bracelet is now ready to wear - to put on, simply twist around your wrist.
