I recently pinned a DIY gold wire bracelet from ispydiy.com,
and I finally got the time to make it! It makes for such a cute addition to any
outfit- it’s dainty and simple but adds a touch of girly- ness.
All you need is
5 ft of 16-gauge non-tarnish brass, jewelry pliers (round and flat) and a glass
(or a jar of salsa in my case!) that's about the size of your wrist.
2. Next to your hump, make the valley (the V of your heart) by pinching
the wire with the flat pliers.
3. Make another hump for the other half of the heart, and pull
the ends together to create the heart.
4. Wrap the short end of the wire around the long wire twice to
create the heart. Make sure you wrap it to where the sharp end won’t prick your
skin!
5. Now wrap the long wire around your glass to create the
bracelet part.
6. To make your hook, pinch the other end of your wire so that
it is doubled up. This part should be about an inch long. (You’ll want to try the bracelet on to figure out where you want your hook to be.)
7. Bend the piece of doubled up wire in half to create the
actual latch. (This might require an extra pair of hands!)
8. Now wrap the excess wire around 2 times and trim!
And there you are! A new handmade stackable bracelet!
