Memory Wire Bracelets

My first attempt at making these, so easy to work with, apart from turning the end loops!  I'm pretty pleased with the way they turned out.

Memory wire is very hard, don't try to cut with regular flush cutters as it will destroy them.  Memory wire cutters can be bought for around a fiver if you don't have anything suitable.

Instructions are simple:

1). Cut a piece of memory wire the size of your wrist plus 2 inches.
2). Choose your beads and map out your design.
3). Turn a loop at the start of your wire,  
4).  Slide beads onto wire.
5).  When you're happy with the result turn a loop and trim off excess wire.

I attached charms to the end loops, I like the way it looks.
