Memory Wire Bracelet
Supplies
5 loops bracelet memory wire
4 2" silver head pins
2 3 hole 18mm spaces with 7mm spaces between the holes
46 6mm red Ab faceted beads
32 6mm clear faceted crystals
9 9mm clear faceted crystals
1)Cut three 1 1/2 loop lengths of bracelet memory wire. Use round nose pliers to make a loop at one end of each piece of memory wire. Use flat nose pliers to close the loops tightly. (Fig 1)
2)Take the first piece of memory wire and add the beads. Start with the 6mm crystal alternating with the 6mm red beads. Once you have five clear crystal and four red beads add a spacer.(fig 2) After you have added the spacer add more beads starting with the 6mm red beads alternating with the 9mm crystals. Once you have four red beads and three 9mm crystals add another spacer. (fig 3)
3)After you have added the second spacer add more beads starting with the 6mm crystals alternating with the red 6mm beads. Once you have five 6mm crystals and four red beads cut the memory wire about 3/8" beyond the last bead. Take the round nose pliers and roll the end of the memory wire into a loop. Take the flat nose pliers and close the loop.
(fig 4)
4)Repeat steps two and three running the wires through the spacers that are attached to the first strand of beads.(fig 5)
5)Take a head pin and add one 6mm red bead then run the head pin through the first loopa the one end of the bracelet. Add another 6mm red bead and run the head pin through the second loop.(fig 6) Repeat this process once more.(fig 7) After you have run the head pin through the thrid loop add another 6mm red bead and cut the head pin about 3/8" beyond the last bead. Take your round nose pliers and make a loop at the end. Take the flat nose pliers and close the loop.(fig 8)
6)Take another head pin and add a 6mm crystal and a 6mm red bead. Cut the head pin about 3/8" beyond the second bead. Take the round nose pliers and roll the end of the head pin.(fig 9) Hook the loop on the loop on the head pin at the end of the bracelet. Use the flat nose pliers to close the loop.
7)Repeat steps 6 and 7 to finish the other side of the bracelet. Only this time run the head pin through the opposite side of the bracelet so that the pieces that dangle from the braclet are on both sides of the bracelet.(fig 10)
