Memory wire bracelets are a great way to mimic multiple bangles without all the hassle. It is a special wire that curves in on itself into coils, like a spring. When beaded and worn, it will look like several stacked bracelets instead of one.
Take out the coils of memory wire...at least three coils of memory wire, plus a couple of inches are needed. (1)
With your round-nose plies to make a small loop at one end of the wire. Pinch the end of your wire with a pair of round-nose pliers. Twist the wire around the top of the pliers to form a loop, then pull the pliers out. (2)
Slide the charm onto the loop, before closing. Use the pliers to squeeze the loop smaller. This will hold the beads in place and prevent them from sliding off the end. (3)
Slide your beads onto the wire, leaving a ¾ inch tail. Start with one of the slightly bigger beads nearest the loop. Slide the beads on in a random order (as shown) or in a pattern of your choosing...odd number groupings 3/5/7 generally are more esthetically pleasing. If you want to do a pattern, lay it out first. (4)
The last bead should also be one of the larger ones.
Leave a ¾ inch tail at the end. Fold the tail end of the wire into another loop. Pinch the end of the wire with your round-nose pliers, and wrap the wire around it to form a loop. Pull the pliers out, and use them to pinch the loop smaller, if necessary. (5)
The other option is to glue the last bead in place with Hypo-Cement or E6000. Use a drop of either glue on the wire, slide on the last bead. Allow to dry overnight. When dry, snip off the tail, flush to the end of the last bead. (6)
Finished! Pop it on! (7)

Do not use jewelry wire cutters to cut memory wire. It will ruin your good jewelry cutters by dulling them.
Use memory wire cutters, only.

Starfish on the Beach Bracelet Kit
Kit Contains: -15 10mm Amazonite beads -15" of Elastoma -2 wood beads -Large seaglass starfish Kit price:$15.95 Optional: -Glue (E6000 or Hypo-Cement) -measuring tape -bead design board -bead reamer or awl -bead clamps |
Step 1Lay out the beads in the order you would like. Place starfish in center with the two wood beads on either side (helps to keep starfish stabilized on wrist). You will have 7 beads on one side & 8 on the other. Remove the extra if you have a smaller wrist.
|
Step 2Measure your wrist...determine if you will need all the beads. Stretch your Elastoma 2-3 times before threading, this helps to keep it from sagging with wear. Thread the Elastoma (stretchy thread) through all the beads, (no need for a needle) in the order that you laid them out.
Keep a clamp on the other end to keep beads from slipping off. (photo credit: wikihow.com) |
Step ThreePlace bracelet around wrist to double check your length & make sure it fits. Utilize a surgeon's knot to tie off bracelet. Use a drop of e6000 or hypo-cement on the knot when completed. Let dry overnight without moving or wearing.
Cut the excess elastic thread off. If the bead hole is large enough, push it inside bead #8 while glue is wet, & allow to dry. For instructions on how to tie a surgeon's knot, click on button below. (photo credit: wikihow.com) |
