Memory wire bracelet If you enjoy making your own crafts you’ve probably tried making some beaded jewelry in the past.  There’s a new type of bracelet that is both fashionable and easy to make.  It’s a memory wire bracelet. A memory wire bracelet incorporates both metal and beads into a piece of jewelry that can be worn by women of all ages. Making a memory wire bracelet requires just a few supplies and about an hour of your time.  Memory wire is purchased in loops.  It’s designed to be used not only for bracelets but for necklaces and rings as well.  The steps to making a memory wire bracelet are fairly simple.  First you’ll need to cut the memory wire to the desired length. If you are making the memory wire bracelet for yourself you can place the wire around your wrist and note where you want to cut.  If you are making it for someone else you can cut it anywhere.  Memory wire is designed to fit around anything and once it’s placed around something it will retain its shape. The next step to making your memory wire bracelet is to bend the end.  You want to do this for two reasons. One is to make certain that the end of the wire won’t damage your skin or your clothing.  The other reason you bend the wire on the end of the memory wire bracelet is to ensure the beads don’t slide off.  After you’ve cut the memory wire you’ll now want to add the beads.  Memory wire bracelets can contain any combination of beads you desire.  Some people prefer a memory wire bracelet with one color of beads.  Still others prefer a bracelet with two or three colors of beads.  It’s completely a matter of personal preference. Begin to placing the beads in the pattern you choose.  Thread the beads onto the memory wire bracelet one at a time until they are all in place. Once you are done with the beads you’ll again want to bend the opposite end of the memory wire bracelet.  Again this is to hold the beads in place and to protect your skin from the sharp edge of the wire.  A memory wire bracelet is a really lovely gift.  It’s fashionable and it’s also something that you made yourself.  That makes it an extra special present in the eye of the person you are giving it to. It’s nice to make a memory wire bracelet in a favored color of the recipient.  This way it will reflect their own personal taste and they’ll be able to wear it with many of their outfits.
