A reader recently commented on this bracelet I was wearing in a previous video tutorial.
I made this some time ago and it’s a favorite. It may look like a series of bangles, but it’s actually one 36-inch length of memory wire, strung with beads. Super simple.
This bracelet in shades of blue and green uses the same basic bead pattern. You don’t have to string your beads in a pattern, they could be random, or you could use all the same beads. It just occurred to me that a random assortment of all different metallic beads would look really cool. Hmmmmm… the possibilities.
In the video below I give you some tips on using memory wire, plus some design ideas for your beads.
Happy creating!
I love your color combinations. Either of those could be worn with a lot of summer outfits–particularly the first, with the neutral colors. Very pretty.
Thanks! Yes, I wear the brown/neutrals one a lot in the summer, but it’s also great for the fall.
I’m not loving the blue one as much as I thought I would. I probably should have headed more towards blue/turquoise or blue/purple, rather than blue/green. I’m thinking of redoing it, I’ll put up a photo if I do.
I like the blue/green–looks very aquatic, which is what everybody’s longing for in my area. Where it’s 104.
Phew, that IS toasty. Are you guys part of the area experiencing drought?
Yep. Very hot, very dry. I’m watering only the garden and foundation, so the grass is toast.
