Wiith a little effort and patience, you can make a bangle bracelet that expands over your hand and springs back into shape on your wrist!

Assemble your supplies. Memeory wire cutters are a must!
Cut your memory wire 1 and 1/2 loops.
With the round nose pliers, make a loop on one end of the wire.
With the flat nose pliers, bend your loop down, perpendicular to the wire.
Start adding your beads. I'm using 4mm and 6mm fire polished beads here, but 6/0 seed beads work well also.
Bead one complete loop of the memory wire.
Thead your wire thru the loop and add a bead to the open wire.
Make another loop with your round nose pliers.
Bend this loop down with your flat nose pliers.
Again with the flat nose pliers, fold the loop down from the back of the loop to open it.
Slide the beads down the wire and hook the loop in the open space.
Close your loop back up.
With a jump ring, add a charm to the empty wire.
Make your new bracelet some friends!
