Super Stylish, Super Easy Memory Wire Bracelet

December 3, 2010

 

 pearls, memory wire

 

Memory Wire bracelets have to be THE EASIEST piece of jewelry to make and probably the easiest piece to WEAR as well.  I especially like them for younger girls and older women because there is no clasp. Just wrap them around your wrist and go.

I saw some memory wire bracelets in the Pier 1 Imports flyer that made me think of a stash of “pearls” and some Beadalon wire that I have.  I used 3 different size beads for this bracelet. I ended up not using the very largest ones on the right hand side of the photo.

I used round nose pliers to round one end of the memory wire. The coils of wire are pretty long and you can cut it off to make the bracelet as long as you like. Just remember to have separate wire cutters for cutting memory wire as it is very strong and will dull the cutters you use for fine wire.

Also, you can put a dab of jewelry glue at the end of the wire to hold the first bead on OR there are also screw on ends for memory wire. I just turn the wire and make sure that the ends are smooth and even so that it won’t catch on a sweater.

I randomly added beads until the wire was full and I curled the other end. Easy Peasy.

Great stocking stuffer and a great accessory for the flower girl in a wedding too!

    Now this is something I can handle, being a newbie at jewelry making, lol! Will surely try it. I read somewhere that you can also attach a charm on the loops you make. That should dress up the loops.
    Thanks for sharing 😉

      Yes, Joanie, you can add a charm to the loops. I hope you will share a photo of your finished project.
