Steps (9 steps, 15 minutes)
-
1
You don't have to cut wire from the bundle to make this bracelet.
Hold the wire from any one end from the bundle,
Leave 3-4 cm of the wire straight and then bend the wire,
Tighten the bend using the flat nose plier. -
2
Bend the wire again by using the looping plier to create a hook-like pattern.
-
3
Now, coil the 1-1.5 cm of the extra straight wire around the longer wire piece.
-
4
Create the first loop near the hook by using the looping plier, keep 0.5-1 cm gap between the hook and the loop.
Circle the wire around that loop 2-3 times to make the first swirl, don't circle the wire more than 3 times otherwise you won't get a smooth round shape for the bracelet. -
5
After completing the first swirl make another loop near it by winding the wire in the opposite direction of the previous loop, keep 1 cm gap between the swirl and the loop,
Circle the wire around that loop for 2-3 times to make another swirl.
Keep repeating the steps until you the bracelet reaches its required length. -
6
When you'll think that you've made enough swirls for the bracelet hold it straight with a ruler to check if the size is right.

7
After measuring the length bracelet cut the wire from the bundle by keeping 3 cm extra on the wire.
Use the looping plier to create a loop with the extra cms' near the last swirl,
Coil the remaining wire below the loop. -
8
Wrap the swirl-chain around any round object that matches your hand size and attach both ends together through the hook and loop.
-
9
Use the flat nose plier to flatten the swirls,
Press the swirls against the round object to flatten the swirls and give the bracelet a smooth round shape.Done!
