Beaded Bangle Tutorial


Hey guys! The weather is getting warmer and it's time to start showing off those arms again! Well why not spruce up you warm weather outfit with some beautiful bangles? Here's a quick tutorial on how to make your own!


Materials:
16 gage craft wire
Some smaller craft wire that will fit through your fancy bead
Nipper pliers
Round nose pliers
A fancy bead
Something round that us a little bigger than your wrist ( I used a candle jar)



Step one: gather your materials and wrap your 16 gage wire around your round object one full rotation. Then nip it off.



Step two: string your fancy bead and curl your ends in with your round nose pliers.





Step three: return back your 16 gage wire and curl your ends in on one side.
Hook your bead on before closing the loop.





Step four: begin your curl in the second side. Hook other end of bead on then close the loop.
Step five: there you have it!! I like to make multiple bangles and wear them all at once for a layered look, but, one on its own looks extremely delicate and simple. Hope you enjoy!
