Materials needed

6mm Cats Eye beads
4mm Crystal Bicones
Diagonal cane cubes
Memory wire

Tip

Memory wire is tougher to manipulate than normal wire/head pins, therefore, when forming the closed loop you may need to use combination/flat nose pliers to close up the loop.

Step One

Cut a length of memory wire (about 2½ turns of wire) using memory wire shears (be careful using wire shears).

Step Two

Using round nose pliers, curl one end of the wire forming a closed loop.

Step Three

Thread the beads onto the wire in your desired pattern:

6mm Cats Eye beads
4mm Crystal Bicones
Diagonal cane cubes
(see main picture)

Step Four

Leave approximately 1cm of wire and use the round nose pliers to form a closed loop to complete the bracelet.
