This is one of my favorite bracelets to make because it’s quick and easy and looks so stylish! Plus, it can accommodate any size wrist because memory wire expands easily.

You can use practically any size beads for this, just as long as the bead hole is large enough to pass through the wire.

A great group project for kids!

Materials list:
- Memory wire (bracelet size)
- Heavy duty wire cutters (or memory wire shears)
- Round-nose pliers
- Various beads

Source for materials:
I purchased the beads and memory wire from http://www.firemountain.com. I used my dad’s wire cutters and I was given the round-nose pliers for Christmas!

A little clip to demonstrate visually how to loop a jewelry wire finding known as a headpin to make bead drop emblies that can be used in making beaded earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc.

You’ll need some beads and a few head pins a few beads, and a minimum of two hand tools: a looping (rosary) pliers and cutting pliers to try this the way I’ve shown it. Optionally, though an essential part of any jewelry maker’s tool box, needle nose pliers to straighten everything out at the end so that everything will hang right.

Practice makes perfect! With time it will come naturally as your muscle memory takes over.

The same technique can also used on eyepins to make linked chains. Make a bunch and link them together with jump rings.

Sometimes you just need to see it to understand it. I hope this helps you in your jewelry making. Comments welcome. Enjoy
