QUESTION: How much memory wire is used for this project? It’s hard to tell from looking at the picture.
The finished bracelet will come to 4 coils, but I also advise not to cut your coils of memory wire if you don’t need to. Follow the direction to make a simple loop or coiled loop to one end and slide your beads through the other. You will need to push the beads down.
If you plan to pre-cut the wire for a kit, cutting 5 coils will be enough to complete your bracelet.
Melanie– Don’t coil the wire end first (leave the coil whole)– start with step #2. Continue through #3i, then coil the end after the last end cap. Push the beads down to the coil… then do step #4.
There’s going to be a slight variation in memory wire length needed, depending on how you coil your ends, and the actual length of the cork cord pieces you use.
