I am a long-time fan of their products.
I want to share a simple
fast bracelet that looks high end, but could not be easier.
This versatile bohemian
piece uses memory wire and some amazing beads from Darice.
Darice 1984-52 Wood bead strand 8mm
Darice 1984-58 Wood bead strand 12mm
Darice 1999-968 Round
Green Red Unakite 10mm
Darice 1999-4044 Natural Turquoise Rondelle 4mm
Darice 1999-209 Gold Stone beads 8mm
Darice 1999-217 Turquoise Round stone beads 10mm
Darice 1999-4841 Wood Bead strand button 12mm
Darice 1999-5517 Painted
Aqua/Gold 12mm
Darice 1962-92 Continuous Bracelet memory Wire
Darice SS-135 Jewelry Tassels-aqua and blue
Darice Needle Nose
Pliers
Darice Wire Snips
Begin by using the
needle nose pliers to make a loop at the end of the memory wire.
This keeps the beads
from sliding off the wire while you are adding them.
You may add the beads
any way you like.
I added some of the
1984-52Wood bead strand 8mm,
1999-5517 Painted Aqua/Gold 12mm,
1984-58 Wood bead strand 12mm,
1999-968 Round
Green Red Unakite 10mm,
and 1999-4044 Natural Turquoise Rondelle 4mm.
You may add more or less
beads to suit your own style.
When the first bracelet
looks like you want it to, use the wire snips to cut memory wire about ½ inch
longer than the last bead.
Use the needle nose
pliers to make a loop in the end of the wire.
Use pliers to open loop
slightly and add a turquoise tassel.
Repeat at other end.
Viola!
You have plenty if
memory wire remaining so you can make more bracelets.
I made another bracelet
using:
1984-52Wood bead strand 8mm,
1999-4841 Wood Bead strand button 12mm,
and
1999-217 Turquoise Round stone beads 10mm.
Repeat directions for
making loops at the ends and enjoy.
Memory wire makes
beading a snap and choosing your accessories even easier.
Darice also carries
memory wire for necklaces and rings and pre-cut bracelet memory wire.
Have fun and enjoy!
