How To Make Crystal Bangles: Jewelry Making Tutorial

How To Make Jewelry: How To Make Crystal Bangles
These crystal bangles are super easy to make and fun to wear! You can make them in just four simple steps.
Materials & Tools
45 Swarovski crystal bicones, 4mm
Memory wire, gold, Large Bracelet size
Wire cutters
Round-nose pliers
Steps
1. Cut a piece of memory wire that is a complete loop with a half inch overlap.
2. Bend a small loop in one end using the round-nose pliers.
3. Slide on the crystal bicones.
4. Bend a small loop in the other end using the round-nose pliers.
Memory wire is wire that is permanently shaped in a coil. It is usually found in bracelet size and necklace size. The coil you see in the package is the size of the bracelet or necklace you can make. For this bracelet, we used a package of memory wire labeled “large bracelet.” This is the perfect wire to use to make memory wire bracelets.
To make the Crystal Bangle Bracelets you will need two tools: round-nose pliers and wire cutters.
You will also need bicone crystals in a rainbow of colors.
To make one Crystal Bangle Memory Wire Bracelet, start by cutting a length of memory wire equal to one complete coil plus one half inch.
Bend a small loop into the end of the memory wire using the round-nose pliers. This will keep the beads from sliding off.
Feed a complete coil’s worth of crystal bicone beads onto the memory wire. Finish the bracelet by making another loop in the other end of the memory wire.
Make a crystal bangle in red, orange, peach, lime, green, turquoise, and cobalt blue.
These bracelets would look lovely as a set of all one color. Make seven with jet black bicones for a dressy glamorous look. Make a set in all blues or grays. They will look so pretty!
And these crystal bangles are so easy to make they’d be great for a girls’ night craft party. Set out different colors of beads and let the beading begin!

Wonderful video! I so enjoyed making your last memory wire bracelet, so I'm going to try these as well! I'll bet the Swarovski pearls would be pretty to add to a set of crystal bangles as well. Thank you for this lovely tutorial! :o)

[@chhayashukla9088]

Which wire cutter we have to use to cut a memory wire ? Can it get cut with the regular wire cutter ?

[@TheONeilSisters]

Great question! Memory wire is very hard and will damage your good cutters. We suggest using Memory Wire Cutters like these:amzn.to/3Hir9I8
Hope that helps!

I like it, you sell kits for all of the jewelry you make?

[@TheONeilSisters]

We do sell a few kits. And we will have them up on our blog very soon. We will leave you a message here when they are up.
Thanks!

[@echoandmeaservicedogslife3300]

if you use your regular good Cutters to cut memory wire you will ruin them either use junkie Cutters you don't care that get ruined or use memory wire cutters only

[@TheONeilSisters]

Great tip Coleen! We should have mentioned that. We'll add a note on the video. thanks so much!!
