After all the stones have been placed on the bracelet, wrap a couple of wires through the entire bracelet. Now you have a very inexpensive bracelet that is a real show stopper!
Wire Beaded Bangle - Beadwork Beaded Bangle These simple bangle bracelets are one of my favorite projects. Fast to make, and elegant. They work well using beads that are seconds, likefire polish crystals that had flaw that made them not work for the project you meant to use them for, or the left over beads from a project. Items Needed a variety of beads 4-8 mm beads work best 18-20 gauge wire wire cutters needle nose pliers about 15 minutes of time Start with about 36 inches of 18-20 gauge wire, whatever kind and color suits you, however make sure it's not too thick to go through your beads, but thick enough to hold the shape. 22 gauge silver doesn't work well for adult size bracelets because it doesn't hold the shape will enough. String on about 9 and 1/2 inches worth of beads, more or less depending on your hand size. (number of beads shown is purely for illustrative purposes) Now shape the beaded wire loop into a circle, and then take the free ends one at a time, and twist them around the beaded loop.

I like bangles! Bangles are definitely my favourite things to make at the moment - there is so satisfying turning a piece of silver wire into a tactile, shiny, wearable-with-anything piece of jewellery! I've been making quite a few recently, some as commissions, some because the wire in question was begging to be made into the perfect bangle, so I thought I'd show you some of the processes! The starting point is obviously calculating a piece of wire. I use a set of bangle sizers to help me work out the inside circumference of the bangle I want to make, but another way is to use a ruler to measure the inside diameter of a bangle you know fits you and then calculate the circumference (circumference = diameter x pi, pi being that number that never ends, 3.142 for these purposes). 10 The next job is to file the ends of the wire square to prepare for soldering - the join will only be neat if the ends of the wire meet up properly. Next - apply the solder and flux. 10 It's time for the flame next!

Crochet with Wire & Beads I've had so many requests for the instructions for our last Church of Craft project, I decided to post a little tutorial here. I am by no means an expert, though! You can also find great info here. But let's get started . . . . - One spool of 28 gauge wire, silver or another color. - Assorted beads -- about 40 for a choker, or about 20 for a bracelet. - A metal crochet hook, size G. - Wire cutters and needle-nose pliers. - Findings: jumprings and a clasp of some kind. Step One: String your beads onto the wire, leaving it attached to the spool. Step Two: Make a slip-knot with your wire. Make a loop with the end of your wire. This leaves you with a pretzelly-looking thing, like so. Now, put your crochet hook through that slip knot, and tighten it -- but fairly loosely! Step Three: Chain three. Take the end of your wire that's still attached to the spool, and wrap it over your hook. Then, catch that wrapped bit in your hook, and pull it through the slip knot.

Square Knot Bracelet Tutorial Knotting techniques and using fibre in jewellery are all the rage at the moment and you may well have used some sari silk, cord or ribbon in your jewellery. It can add a relaxed vibe; a softness and bountiful colour possibilities! It also allows a piece of jewellery to be made entirely without the use of metal, which could be important if designing for someone who has an intolerance (although I have used a copper clasp, you could easily replace this with clasp of a different material, or even a knotted closure). I have long taught knotting classes at my local bead shop, and fellow ABS editor Erin Siegel along with Lorelei Eurto have an exciting book coming out soon - Bohemian Inspired Jewelry, for which I personally can't wait! These ladies are both so talented and I am looking forward to seeing their beautiful fibre led designs. One of the oldest knotting techniques is macrame, originally used by sailors I believe. {I accidentally jumped from step 5 to step 7.

DIY Macrame Bracelet Growing up by the beach in Southern California, the ability to knot a macrame bracelet was practically a right of passage. Although those days are long behind us, we’ve never forgotten the ever-so-simple square knot technique. This time, however, we’re replacing hemp and wooden beads for more updated elements like colorful nylon cord and glossy metal charms. Happy knotting! You’ll need: Start by cutting the knotting cord into two 30 inch, two 20 inch and one 10 inch lengths. Center the 30 inch cord under the two middle strands. Pull tightly and slide the knot up to the top. Finish the 2nd half of the square knot by folding the left cord over the middle strands and under the right cord. Pull tightly and repeat the steps – left, right, left, right . . . To finish the knots, thread one of the cords onto a needle and sew up the center of 3-4 knots along the backside. Repeat the same step on the other cord. After sewing up both knotting cords, trim away any excess.
