How to make a wire coiled bracelet with beads?
Step 1: Prepare wires and make part of closure
1st, cut a 70cm piece of 0.8mm brass wire, then fold it into two parts that measure 20cm and 50cm long;
2nd, cut a 30cm piece of 0.5mm brass wire and then through it through the loop;
3rd, take the 50cm wire end to wrap around the other wires.
Step 2: Make more coils and add on the jade beads
1st, separate the two 0.8mm wire ends and slide one 10mm jade bead on the 0.5mm wire;
2nd, push the bead upwards;
3rd, gather the 0.8m wire ends at the other end of bead;
4th, do coils (8~10 times) with the longer 0.8mm wire end;
5th, add another 10mm jade bead on the 0.5mm wire end and then repeat 8~10 coils again;
6th, keep adding beads and doing coils with longer 0.8mm wire end for an desired coiled bracelet.
Step 3: Complete the handmade closure
1st, fold the leftover part of shorter 0.8mm wire end backwards;
2nd, cover the ending tip by several coils;
3rd, remove the excess wire;
4th, bent the folded wire around round nose pliers to form a hook.
Step 4: Shape the wire bracelet
Take a cylindrical box or a beads container, and then shape the bracelet into a circle!
