\"summer<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s yet another way to use memory wire. I love how this design looks like a stack of bangles, but is so easy to wear and take on & off.<\/p>\n

When I was first figuring out how to put this bracelet together I thought I had a very clever idea for using memory wire bead ends<\/a> to make a neat finish (rather than just loops) on the wire that all the memory wire loops go through.<\/p>\n

I glued a memory wire bead end onto each of the two pieces of 20 gauge wire, let the glue cure and them proceeded with adding the memory wire loops and spacers. Then I trimmed the wire, added a dab of epoxy and the other memory wire bead end…<\/p>\n

… and wondered how on earth to hold that little tiny bead in place while the glue finished curing!<\/p>\n

Short of sitting there for an hour holding it with my fingers, of course. :-\/<\/p>\n

And so, I went back to just making a loop on both ends of those pieces of wire. If you have any ideas, I’d love to hear them, as that really would be a much nicer finish.<\/p>\n
