Memory Wire Bracelet with Acrylic Beads and Dyna-Mites™ Seed Beads

Using memory wire cutters , cut 3.5 loops of 2.25-inch 0.65-0.75mm bracelet memory wire.

Tip: More instructions about cutting memory wire are available!

Using Super Glue® Future Glue® Gel , affix a 6.5x4mm stainless steel half-drilled cone end to one end of the memory wire. Let the glue dry fully.

Tip: Watch “Secrets Finishing to Finishing with Bead Ends” for more instructions.

Make a flower drop by threading a TierraCast® 5x3mm antique silver-plated beaded leaf bead cap onto a 1-inch 21-gauge antique silver-plated head pin. Then thread on one 4mm clear faceted round acrylic bead, one 11x7mm acrylic frosted violet flower component and one Dyna-Mites™ #6 frosted rainbow amethyst purple seed bead. Finish the drop by making a simple loop in the end of the head pin.

Repeat three times for a total of four flower drops.

Open a 5mm 19-gauge antique silver-plated jump ring and add two flower drops to it, then close. Repeat for the second set of two flower drops.
