Memory wire bracelet project:
Making a memory wire bracelet is a great beginners project. It’s quick, easy and fun to make. Memory wire looks like a spring with many coils. The more coils you use, the wider your bracelet will be. You will need a sufficient amount of beads for a wider bracelet. Bigger beads will be great if you prefer a chunky look. You can use any kind of beads for this bracelet in any color scheme.
What you need:
Step 1:
Cut off 2½ to 3 coils of memory wire. Grip one end of the memory wire with the middle part of your round nose pliers.
Step 2:
Make a loop by moving your pliers away from you.
Your finished loop should look like this.
Step 3:
Slide the beads onto the other end of the wire, and continue to do so until there is approx. ½ inch (12mm) of wire left.
Step 4:
Make another loop, the same way as the first, with the ½ inch of wire that is left.
Step 5:
To add a headpin to the end of your bracelet, follow the steps for how to make a loop on a headpin as described on the page
