• You Also Need:• Small Filigree Components with a Center Hole

(Hematite Color shown)

• Swarovski Crystal Pearls, Glass Pearls, or other Beads that string onto 22g Wire (Shown: Darice Glass Pearls from Michael’s Crafts)

1. Cut one coil length of memory wire. The two ends should extend past each other in a slight overlap of about 1 ½”.

2. Cut a 2 “ piece of Artistic wire. Hold one end against the memory wire at the middle of the coil and make 3 tight wraps with the long end.

3. Use the nylon jaw or chain nose pliers to snug the coils close to each other and squash the coils � at to the memory wire. Use wire cutters to snip the short wire tail.

4. String 1 � ligree and 1 pearl on the long tail. Snip the long tail to ½”. Use round nose pliers to coil the wire tight to the pearl.

5. Use nylon jaw pliers to press the coil � at against the pearl.

6. Plan your � ligree placement; this cu� shows a larger, stacked � ligree as the middle element with smaller � ligrees symmetrically down each side. Let them overlap randomly.

7. When the cu� is fully stacked, wrap the ends of the mem-ory wire with Artistic wire leaving 3/8” of memory wire for end loops. Use looping pliers to curl each end of the memory wire into small loops.

The ribbon shape of Beadalon Flat Memory Wire keeps embellishments sitting pretty on the outside of your bracelet. Use 22g Artistic

Wire to arrange a bounty of charming � orettes on the memory wire created with small round

� ligree components and pearls.

TIP: Keep all snipped wire ends on the outside or top of the memory wire, not on the inside

where it might scratch your skin.
