Nowadays people pursue the jewelry which is unique and personalized jewelry. But if you go to the jewelry store, you must be disappointed. The only way to find out the unique jewelry is to make it by yourself. Only handmade jewelry is unique. Here I will tell you how to make bead and wire bangle bracelet.
You will need 6mm plastic beads, in your choice of colors, and an accent bead. Gold, silver or white gold are good for accent beads. Cut two pieces of wire of equal length that is 28" to 30" long. Don't make them longer than you can easily handle. Put on 1 accent bead and wrap the wire around the bead . Leave about four inches loose. This will secure the beads while you are working. String on beads, it is more or less depending on your hand size. You can check by closing your hand like you were putting on a bangle bracelet and make sure it fits with about a half inch of bare wire. Move the beads to the center of the wire, and leaving a little space of wire, twist the end wires together just above the beads to close. Curve the bangle into a round shape. Leave a space between the two ends, because you are going to attach the clasp to both ends. Loosen the wire on the opposite end and put the ends of both wires through the 6mm bead. They will each go in the opposite direction. The next step is to make a clasp for your beaded bangle bracelet. You will need 17g or 18g wire for making the clasp. Trim the ends of the wire and mash them down, so there is no sharp wire sticking out from the bracelet. Then your bead and wire bangle bracelet is done.
It is easy and fun to make a bead and wire bangle bracelet. Follow the above steps, you can make you own bead and wire bangle bracelet.
