In this video I show you a very cool bracelet that works for both men and women. I am using 18 gauge bare copper wire in the video but you could use colored craft wire, sterling silver, etc. Add bead links to totally change it up. For a man, 16 & 14 gauge are a nice weight. You are going to love the ideas you are going to come up with...love love this project.
Tools & Materials
Pliers: Round, Chain & Flat Nose
Cutters: Full Flush
Ruler
LOS (Liver of Sulfur)
Superfine Steel Wool
18-14 gauge soft wire (I used bare copper)

I can just imagine what a real jeweler says about this technique! Rudimentary. Takes a wire wrap lover like me to appreciate this.
I had to teach a "real" jeweller how to make a basic loop lol. He was impressed with my skills. Thanks so much for watching.
As a "real" jeweler, I find that there is a time and place for all techniques, something like this works very well in this case. It is perfectly find to mix and match techniques when creating, I do it all the time. Not everything needs to be soldered.
Hiya, Liz! I’ve been making these bracelets for years thanks to you! I just made a sterling silver one for my son and he loves it! Hoping this finds you well and hope that you’re still DANCING! Xoxo
I know me too ! Her teaching was the most eye opener for me 8 years ago, and changed me completely ! I've become very learned about wire because of her ..taught it too and all because of her.i wish she would've kept teaching because she has a soft voice unique to keeping your attention.! I'll always be thankful to her , because my work is perfect to hers! Love u Liz , hope you are doing well !u always will be the best ! Thank you
I just started playing around with wire wrapping today... I'm serious, I picked this up for the first time today. Even a clumsy newbie like me could successfully make this bracelet for my little girl. She loves it, and I love this video! Thanks for making it so easy to follow. I'll be watching more of your videos for sure!
Skeeter Lubidowicz Awesome Skeeter! Thats what I like to hear. Thank you for your support.
I love bracelet I'm going to try on the week end I can't wait
Can't tell you how many compliments I've had making your chain for others. I have a picture of a bracelet I made for my nephew's HS Graduation. I would send it to you if I knew how. Thanks again for an excellent tutorial.
When I watch videos like this I sometimes think about the very first person who created the links. Same with any other wire links. Someone was just sitting around with nothing better to do, saw some thin wire and started bending and wrapping it.
Exactly! Sometimes I come up with designs to help me fall asleep. Thanks for watching.
@@makingiteasywithliz I am wondering can you find spools of wire at hardware stores ? If so are they more affordable than the beading sites that we all shop at online ?
I found some coiled copper wire from scrapping an A/C unit and thought I'd save it and make a bracelet for the first time. So I looked it up on YT and came across your video. It came out very nice I'm impressed and so are my friends thanks to you👍🏼 great teacher btw.👏🏼
Awesome Joey and you recycled too! Thanks for watching.
I made this last night as a Christmas gift for my nephew and it turned out great!!! I used 16g antique copper and silver. Alternating colors. Your tutorial was very easy to follow. Thank you so much!!
I’d love to see how it came out!
@@marybotkin7297 I'm not sure how to show it to you. I actually made two: one for my nephew and one for my son. My son just told me last night he get compliments on it all the time. And he happily tell them his mom made it ❤ He wears it all the time. I noticed that the silver is coming off so you can see the copper underneath. I guess we can call that a 'patina'!
Maybe I'll make one for myself, next. They look great and they're fun to make!
I made a bracelet from this tutorial about a year ago and it's my absolute favorite bracelet that I have. Wear it almost daily and it only gets prettier. Don't need to take it off for sleep or shower it is just on there so comfortable. So big big thank you for this tutorial
Nina Nicklasson did you made it with cooper or silver?
Im a "Guys"guy who is a mechanic and rides a Harley. Iv made 2 pieces for my wife and I actually love making jewlery. I love this video. I will learn more from you. Thank you for putting in the time to record the videos.
I love when guys dig making jewelry. Thank you so much, Jeremiah for your support.
Beautiful bracelet and I love your clear instructions and attention to detail! Thank you.
Thank you for such a wonderful tutorial, I knew how to make this link BUT, it is so nice to have a perfectionist go over it so that you end up with a bracelet just like yours…PERFECT!!!. Again, thank you 🙏🏼❤️
How wonderful, thank you so much ❤

Really nice linkage! Nice tutorial, too! Thanks for your work!

It's a beautiful bracelet
I made this as a bracelet for myself about 2 years ago and haven't taken it off since. I've recently lost some weight and it's getting lose on me and a couple of the wraps have started to come open. I was thinking last week that I should make another one but couldn't find the video. I have also recently started sewing and found your magic pillowcase video tonight. I think it was fate and I need to make myself a new bracelet. Thanks for your videos! :)
I'm so happy. Thanks.
love this
Love it! My next bracelet, for tomorrow. A perfect thing to make on a chilly Sunday morning.
+Martha D (JustMartha Hi Martha, thank you so much for watching my channel. I love making jewelry on cold days in front of the fire...it's a good excuse to watch TV too. Hope you enjoyed your day. I would love it if you posted your creation on my Facebook page facebook.com/makingiteasywithliz
I'm not on facebook, but I did make the bracelet and am making others in colors, purple is first, then red, turquoise, and blue. I will wear them as stacker bracelets and maybe make some for my daughter and daughter-in-law. It was easy, although I needed just a little more wire because I'm not as experienced, but I have plenty and it was very low cost. Thanks again!
Martha D Right on!
Your tutorial is great and very well explained. I’ve already made my first bracelet and it looks awesome thanks so much.
Paul Fortier That's awesome! Thank you so much for watching, Paul.
Thank you for such a wonderful video. I just completed my first wire wrapped bracelet. I am so in love with how elegant it looks and how easy it was to make. And it is so versital. I can leave it as is or add charms into the loops. With the different colors in wire and sizes the possibllities are endless. I cant wait to make more
Awesome Angela! Thank you so much for watching.

I made this bracelet for my best friend. I used 14 guage. It looks great on his wrist and he loves it. Thank you!
+Mama Hare That's awesome Mama Hare! Yes, for a man's bracelet I like the 14g too. It's a bit stiffer and hard for beginners. Good job and thank you so much for watching.
Hi Mama, How long did you make your 14 gauge pieces? Thanks!
Just re-watched to do this, beautiful music. I am going to check him out. Once again, thank you!
He's one of my faves.

You are so welcome!
hi, i watched this the other day and didnt have time to comment, but i thought this was absolutly one of the best videos. i am a beginner and you explained everything really well. thankyou for taking the time for doing that. i orderd some of your wire to try this. i cant wait to get started. again thankyou for taking the time to really explaining everything.
Thank you so much for watching and your great feedback. Your order is in the mail and coming from Nova Scotia so it may take up to 10 days to arrive. I appreciate your business and support.
Liz...thank you so much for your detailed and so easy to follow tutorial...just finished making 2...one in 20g pink wire with a couple of dangles that looks elegant and the 2nd is a mix of 20g and 16g gold wire with crystals. 😃
Thank you Sharon...that sounds really lovely and the possibilities are endless.
Great !
I'm fairly new to this craft (3 months). I was searching for a men's bracelet to make as a gift for my cousin-in-law and this is PERFECT for my skill level! 👍 I was actually looking for something with Egyptian cross symbols (the ankh) or Egyptian style but had no luck finding anything masculine (or in my skill level) but if I can figure out how to make a symbol/hook, it will be TWICE PERFECT! Thank you so much for this tutorial. I can hardly wait to see how mine turns out! 🙂
Another well made DIY. your so easy to follow Liz ! this such a beautiful bracelet , l've got make both of my Boys one l think, in the 16 g copper. They'll make a great gift :) warm hugs and sharing ♡
Thank you Michele. 😚
I love this. It wasn't that long ago my mother ask me about making something like this and I told her I was not even close to ready to do something like that, but I think I am now and this is what I'm going to try. Thank you
Thank you. You will love it. Practice and don't worry if they aren't perfect.
I love this! I’ve made about 4 of these now and I have a tip for anyone with cheap flush cutters that don’t leave a smooth end. File your ends smooth by hand, it saves so much time when your trying to tuck your ends in and avoid sharp edges.
Go Online For Most Part And Type In Jewelry Cup Burr! You Can Get It In Battery Operated Or Not I Have Both This Also Help Too When Making Your Own EarWires I Hope This Helps Also I Use A Rotary Tool Especially When You Doing A Lot Just Be Careful If Has A Casing Which Is A Thing Plastic Or Coating To Protect It From Rust And Tarnish These Tool Can Still Be Used For Tip Part At Least Just Cautious And Courtesy Awareness Well I Hoped I Helped Continue Creating And Having Fun!!!!
Thank you
Thank you for this tutorial. I will be making about 300 chains to raise funds for charity. Thanks to you I can do this really interesting style among others.
