Last week, I showed some of the tools I use while making jewelry in this post<\/a>. One of my favorite quick projects are memory wire bracelets. Here is the process that I use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Most of these are single wrap, but you can do multiple wraps like the purple one.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Memory wire holds it’s basic shape and allows you to easily make a simple bracelet in a few minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supplies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are very few things needs to make this simple bracelet. You need memory wire and beads. You also need diagonal cutters and round nose pliers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Laying out the beads and the section of wire. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You need to know how long you need the bracelet so that it overlaps on the wrist. I usually add and inch and a half to the measure of my wrist. I cut the wire about two inches longer than the finished length. Be very careful cutting the wire as it can flip around when it is cut. I hold the wire close to the bead mat and clip with the loose end away from me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First you need to add a loop to one end of the wire with the round nose wire. Once the loop is in place, you can start adding the beads to wire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>
\"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Make a small loop at one end of the wire. Add the beads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Wrap the wire as close to the beads as you can.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once the beads are on the wire, it is time to finish the other end. You want to get the loop as close to the beads as you can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wrap the wire around the round-nose pliers. then very carefully cut off the excess wire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the wire is cut, use the pliers to adjust the loop as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The finished project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here is the finished bracelet – seen from the top and bottom as it looks on my wrist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>
\"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can see that I have a decent amount of overlap to help keep the bracelet on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I make earrings to match the bracelet, such as this red beaded set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
