Let's Get Crafting!

March is National Craft

Month. In the spirit of

crafting, I thought I

would show you some

bracelets that I have made.

The red one and the pearl

one were made last summer

and the purple one was made

to go with my outfit that I wore

to my high school reunion last

year.

You will need Memory Wire,

needle nose pliers, beads and

charms (optional).

The wire coils and uncoils-

hence the name Memory

Wire but I used "markers"

to help keep the wire from

coiling into inself, they

helped keep the wire

seperated while putting the

beads on.

I decided how many coils I

wanted for each bracelet

and snipped the wire. You will

see that the red one has more

coils than the purple one. The

pearl one is in between both of

them.

Begin by making a small loop at

one end of the wire-you can add

a charm here if you want. The

loop keeps the beads on the wire.

Then begin putting your beads on.

You can make a pattern or just

put them on randomly. When

you get to the end make another

loop, add a charm and you are

finished.

***Make sure that your loops are

fully closed so that your charms

and beads DON'T fall off.

Enjoy! These bracelets are great

for those of us who like to wear

multiple bracelets at one time.

they also make super gifts!!!!

Let me know what you are crafting!
