Memory Wire Bracelet TutorialText Box: Step 1 On one end of the memory wire, place wire between round nose pliers with just a very small amount of wire sticking out of the end.  Hold the base of the wire with your other hand to keep it stable as you turn the wire. Text Box: Step 2 Turn the wire between the tips of your pliers.  Memory wire is very strong and gives a lot of resistance.  You should be able to get it to turn about 1/2 of a loop. Text Box: Step 3 Now place wire between the round nose pliers again on the inside of the loop that is forming.  Turning the wire from this position will allow you to finish the loop. Text Box: Step 4 This is what the finished loop should look like.  You can now begin stringing beads onto the wire from the opposite end that does not have a loop.   *we recommend that you begin with glass beads rather than the flexible bugle.  The end of the wire from the loop may rub against the end bead and you will find glass to be more durable on the ends. Text Box: Step 5 Place beads onto wire in any design that is pleasing to you.  For longer bugle beads, you may need to bend the beads into a curve as you feed the onto the wire.  This will help them to slide on more smoothly.  The flexible bugles and other beads should slide on with very little effort.  This is the fun part.  BE CREATIVE!   Text Box: Step 6 Stop putting beads on when you will have between 1/4 to 1/2 inch of wire left on the end for a second loop.  It is often easiest to cut the wire to the appropriate length as you near the end.     Text Box: Step 7 Repeat steps 1-4 on the opposite end of the bracelet.  If possible, try to make this loop about the same size as the starting loop on the other end.     Text Box: Your bracelet is now complete.  If you would like to add flowers or charms to the ends of the bracelet we carry a full selection of charms & MyELEMENTS to further accessorize your  bracelet.   Text Box: Step 8 To open and close jump rings, you will need 2 prs of flat nosed pliers.  Push one end of the wire away from you while pulling the other end towards you.   While the jump ring is open, place charms or MyELEMENTS onto the ring and then hook it around the appropriate loop on the bracelet.  ***I hold the loop with one pair of pliers while I mount the object and the bracelet onto the jump ring.   Still holding all parts onto the jump ring with one pair of pliers, use the second pair of pliers to close the jump ring.  This time you will pull one end of the jump ring wire and push the other end until the ring closes.   Text Box: THIS IS INCORRECT Opening & closing jump rings is a side to side or push/pull motion.  Pulling the ring open from both sides is incorrect and you will not be able to reform the ring.
