- 1). Measure the memory wire by wrapping it around your wrist. Determine how many times you want the bracelet to wrap around, so that you know where to cut the memory wire.
- 2). Cut the memory wire with the wire cutters. Secure one end of the memory wire by making a small loop with the round nose pliers. The loop must be tight so that the beads you add to the wrap-around bracelet do not slip off the end.
- 3). Start beading your bracelet. Add your beads in the design or pattern that you want them. You can use all of the same beads or a variety of different ones.
- 4). Close the bracelet by looping the other end of the wire with the round nose pliers. Press down hard, but not too hard or the wire can break. You want to be sure the loop is tight and stays in place.
- 5). Try on the bracelet and make sure it looks the way you want it. If you need to make any changes to the pattern, you can open the loops back up again with the round nose pliers. Grab the curled end of the memory wire and lift it back up to straighten out the wire and remove the beads to make changes.
