Shoreline Bangle Bracelet Tutorial

Created by: Rita Hutchinson

Designer Tips

Make wire-wrapped loops with the pearls, and add a jump ring to each charm. For instructions on wire-wrapped loops, and best way to open and close jump rings, see Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF)
This steel bracelet is springy. You can free one side of the bracelet, allowing you to string on the wrapped loop pearls and the button, and then lock it back into place.
The shank on all the TierraCast buttons with shank are large enough to string onto these bracelets. Mix and match your favorite styles.
Optional: use chain-nose pliers to crimp the bracelet's hooks permanently shut.
