Jewelry Project
Memory wire, crystal, cat’s eye beads and Czech glass is used to great effect for this eye catching bracelet.
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.
