You Will Need (4 things)

  • Craft Wire
  • Jewellery Pliers
  • Ruler
  • Thread

Steps (9 steps, 15 minutes)

  1. 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. 2

    Bend the wire again by using the looping plier to create a hook-like pattern.

  3. 3

    Now, coil the 1-1.5 cm of the extra straight wire around the longer wire piece.

  4. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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!
