Hi I'm Kitty and I'm Jennifer and we're The O'Neil Sisters. And we're going to show you
how to make a fun fast and easy memory wire bracelet. We love making memory wire
bracelets because they go together really really fast and they don't need a
clasp. Let's get started.
To make this bracelet you need memory wire. We're using bracelet size memory
wire and you can see that the wire is a little bit like a Slinky, but it always
goes back to its original shape. And that's why it's called memory wire. It
remembers its shape. You need bugle beads and we like that these particular bugle
beads we bought on a skein. It allows you to see how many beads there are once
they're next to each other, so you'll know how many you have for your beading
project rather than them coming in a tube. But we've also seen them in a tube
at craft stores. These are seed beads and they're called
cylinder seed beads. And again these can come on a skein or in a little tube and
both of these materials, and the memory wire, you can buy in just about any craft
store. Which means you can make this bracelet right now after one trip to the
store! We've got round nose pliers as our main
tool and then wire cutters. These are not our good jewelry cutters. These are more
heavy-duty wire cutters.
The first step to make this bracelet is to count the coils. And for our design, we
decided to do five coils. So we're going to show you how we count and then cut
our memory wire. We like to start at one end and then basically look at the wire
and kind of go around so that's once around, and then that's one. So that
counts as one coil. So then you can just sort of picture going around again and
that's two, around again and that's three, around again four ,around again five. So
that should be five coils and you can always check it by flipping it sort of
over and looking -- one -- two -- three -- four -- five -- yeah perfect. So instead of cutting right
here where it matches up with my original end, I need to add a half-inch
so that I have room to make loops in my ends. So I'm going to add a half inch on
this last loop. And I'm going to use my heavy-duty wire cutters. Memory wire is
kind of harder. It's a kind of a lot harder than regular jewelry wire, so you
don't want to use your regular jewelry plier or jewelry cutters because you'll
mar them. So use heavy-duty ones. And it takes a good strong clip to cut that off.
And there we've got our five coils so now we're ready to get started beading,
but before we feed on our beads, we need to make sure they don't slide off our
ends. So we're going to bend a loop into one end of our wire. And to do that I've
got round-nose pliers here. And memory wire, as I said, is very hard, so it takes
a little bit of extra effort to make a loop. But you just use a little elbow grease
will do it. I'm grabbing the end of my wire with kind of kind of part way up
my needlenose pliers or my round-nose pliers, because I want my loop to be a
little bit, not big, but not teeny tiny. This wire is hard so it's hard to manage
a teeny tiny little loop. It's hard to make a loop that's that small. So I'm
gonna grab my wire and I'm going to roll it just like that partway. I'm going to
just reposition my pliers again and kind of roll it again and kind of
keep doing that because, as I said, this wire is hard, until I get a nice round
loop there. So that's my loop. Perfect. So now we're ready to start our beading. So
that's going to be our far end and we're going to start beading on this end. And
for our design what we decided to do is start with two golds. So we're going to
feed on two gold of our cylinder seed beads. That's one, this is two. And then
we're going to add on three of our turquoise bugle beads. We love these
colors together. We think the gold really sets off this turquoise. Three of these,
two and three, and then we're just going to alternate two gold with three
turquoise until we get about halfway around our first coil. And then we're
going to change the design a little bit to make it interesting.
We love bugle beads because they're very accessible. You can find them all over
the place. And then these seed beads, some seed
beads are round seed beads and some are Delica seed beads. There are lots of
different shapes. We like that the cylinder seed beads sort of mimics
the look of the bugle bead, but it's just a little bit different, a little shorter,
and it has a metallicy finish. It looks to me like that it's got that gold, like
it's gold lined, and then the glass is gold too. Really pretty. This is a really
fun project to do at a girls' night or any kind of crafting party because
everybody can do a different design if they want. They can feed on seven gold
beads and then seven turquoise beads or they could do one whole coil in
turquoise and one whole coil in gold and go back and forth. They're so many
choices. So many different ways of being creative and making the design your own.
So I'm sliding my beads around to the end. I'm going to feed them all the way
around to the end so I can see about how far down I am
in my first coil. So we're about halfway around our first coil. So now we want to
change the design a little bit. So what I'm going to do is add on a section of
the gold beads and I think I'll do about, I don't know, I think I'll do about twelve or
thirteen of the gold beads and it'll create like a sort of focal section on
the bracelet. So let me do twelve or thirteen of these gold beads. And I took
a couple in my hand so that I can feed a couple on at a time. Now we've got
thirteen, I did thirteen of our gold beads on there and now what we're going
to do is go back to our original design, which is three of our turquoise beads
and then two of our gold beads. And we'll continue that pattern all the way around
until we reach that section of gold that we just did. And then we're going to show
you a little trick to make that design really interesting. These little loops on
the end you can leave them plain like this or sometimes we'll add a little
charm on a jump ring there or even a little mini tassel. You can add that as
like a little decorative touch.Whatever you feel like doing. It's your own design.
So I'm sliding these all the way down. I want to do that again so I can see where
I am in my design. You turn this over. So you can see I've come all the way around
again to where our gold section is, but I I think I want to instead of adding
three turquoises here I want to just add two because I want this section of gold
to shift but I don't want it shift a ton. I just wanted to shift a little bit. I'll
show you what I mean once I feed these beads on you'll get it. Now I'm going to
add two turquoise beads instead of three.
One, two. And I'm going to slide those around and see where they land and then I think
I'll be ready to add my gold section on. So now I want to see where my turquoise
beads line up with my gold section. So see how they're criss-crossing
a little bit? That's perfect because I want this gold section to shift on my
next row. So now I'm going to add 13 of my gold beads, just like I did before. And
if at any point one of your seed beads or bugle beads doesn't go on the wire,
it just means it wasn't drilled through properly. Just throw it out. The beads are
not that expensive and it's not worth keeping.
You know, you'll keep running into that same bead and trying it over and over
again trying to get it on the wire. And they are glass so the beads
can break if you try to force them. We don't want any catastrophes while we're
beading. So it looks like we've got seven beads on there. We do six more...one more.
There we go. And again I'm going to slide my beads around. And that's because I
want to make sure I like how this pattern looks. I'm kind of holding it
upright to slide them around because I don't want the beads that are on the
other end to start sliding back around which they will do. Slide those around. I
want to slide them all the way to the end so I can see where that section is.
And see how I've got a little bit of a shift now in my gold? Let me do it so
you can actually see it there. See there's a little bit of a shift and
that's what we want. And what we're going to do now is continue beading the entire,
all the coils of our memory wire. We're going to follow that pattern of three
turquoise followed by two gold until we go all the way back around to the next
coil. Then we'll see where we are, make sure we get a little bit of a shift in
our design, before we add our 13 gold seed beads. And then we'll go back to the
pattern till we reach the other end. And then we're going to show you how to
finish the end.
And now we have just enough left here that we can make a loop like we did at
the other end. So I'm going to try to place that loop it around the same spot
so that ends up being about the same size. So I think it was about there. I'm
starting at the end and I'm going to do just like I did before. I'm gonna start
to make a loop. Whoops. I'm gonna start to make a loop and then go back around and
keep twisting. And it looks like coming around and it looks like I've got a
little excess wire there. That's no problem at all.
What you can do is just continue rolling the wire around your pliers till you get
to where your beads are. It's a good little trick. Like that. And then you can
take your wire cutters and trim so it matches the other side. So I'm going to
trim right there. So I'm going to wedge my pliers in there and cut right where
it overlaps like that. And then I'm going to use my round nose pliers, or you can
use chain nose pliers if you have those, to just kind of close that loop because it
got pulled out a little bit from the rotating. Like that. And now we can see
we've got our two loops and we can put our bracelet on just like that. Pull it
around. And there is our beautiful bugle bead memory wire bracelet.
