  Step 1

  Bend the length of thicker in half and use something like a Sharpie pen or similar at this mid-way point to create a smooth, curved teardrop shape.

• 

  Step 2

  Take the chainnose pliers and grip one side of the wire just above the point where the two wires cross and bend it straight up.

• 

  Step 3

  Repeat on the other side

• 

  Step 4

  Cut a short (20cm approx) length of the thinner wire. Create a right angle bend about 1cm from one end, hold this along the length of the wire and begin tightly wrapping around the bangle, moving towards your hand. Wrap about 5 times before tucking the end under the wrapped section and cutting off the excess.

• 

  Step 5

  Use a cylindrical object (I’m using my craft storage stacker!) that is slightly smaller than your wrist to form the shape of the bracelet.

• 

  Step 6

  Measure the bangle around your wrist allowing an extra 1.5cm to create the hook. Cut off any excess wire (use household pliers on thicker wire so not to dent your nice jewellery pliers!). Use another piece of thinner wire to create another wrapped section approx halfway around the bangle.

• 

  Step 7

  Use the chainnose pliers to bend the end of the bangle back on themselves, creating the hook. You might want to use a nail file to smooth the ends.

• 

  Step 8

  Create a final wrapped section just before the hook. Adjust the bangle to fit.
