Wire Wrapped Bracelet

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Cut a 3" piece of Colourcraft wire.

2. Use Chain Nose Pliers to make a 90-degree angle about 1" from the end of a piece of wire. Use Round Nose Pliers to make a loop. String an 8mm bead onto the wire.

3. Make another loop on the other side of the bead. Hold one loop with Chain Nose Pliers and use your fingers to wrap the wire end around the wire stem and the bead. Repeat for the other side of the bead to make one bead link.

4. Cut another 3" piece of wire and use it to make a second bead link but attach it to the first one before wrapping the loop one on end of the bead.

5. Repeat steps 1-4 until the bracelet is the desired length.  

6. Attach the clasp to the last loop. String a 6mm bead onto a head pin. Make a loop above the bead and attach it to a loop between 8mm beads on the bracelet. Wrap the extra wire around the stem.
