Wire-Wrapped Into The Woods Bangle with Jem Hawkes
Today we are unleashing the beads with Jem and the gorgeously Fall Inspired "Into the Woods" bead mix. We will be learning how to make a wire-wrapped bangle bracelet using this autumnal-themed mix paired with copper wire. This bracelet is made up of several components, we will be learning how to measure to create the bangle base as well as wire-wrapping some beautiful spirals around our focal dangles.
The Into The Woods Bead Mix is a mega-sized bead mix packed with beads and charms. This mix contains faceted glass, ceramic beads, glass pearls, charms, acorn connectors, metal flowers, and more. This mix features a beautiful bronze and copper color scheme accenting with brighter golds and rich autumn shades such as purples and greens inspired by the twilight hours of a Fall Day.
Jem is adding in 18 gauge round wire to complete these cute drop charms and a closed wire bangle. You can use a medium or soft temper wire for this, keep in mind if you use a medium temper (Like a German-style wire) you will need to warm the wire in your hands, softening the wire to make it easier to work with. If you work with a medium temper, you can use your pliers to give the wire a light work hardening to ensure the wire keeps its shape.
