How to Make a Wire Wrapped Beaded Bangle Bracelet with Craft Wire
This week on Free Spirit Beading with Kristen Fagan, I'm sharing how to make a wire wrapped bangle bracelet with Soft Flex Craft Wire and beads. I used Soft Flex Craft Wire in 18 gauge for the bangle base and 22 gauge for the wrapped beads. I mixed it up sharing two ideas with beads from our Pantone bead mix and then using the yellow Czech Glass beads from our Halloween Mini Design kit.
Supplies:
Soft Flex Craft Wire - 18 Gauge
Soft Flex Craft Wire Silver Plated - 18 Gauge
Soft Flex Craft Wire - 22 Gauge
Soft Flex Craft Wire Silver Plated - 22 Gauge
2020 Fall/Winter Pantone Bead Mix
Our limited edition Halloween Mini Design Kit is filled with candy corn colored Czech Glass beads. I decided to pull out the yellow beads from the mix and make a cheerful yellow beaded bangle. This mini jewelry making kit for Halloween is a fabulous little starter kit comprised of beads, beading wire, findings, crimps and more. You just need cutters and crimping pliers and you have everything to get started making jewelry! Kits are great for gift giving.
Pantone knows color! From their iconic Color of the Year to their elaborate color systems, Pantone is the authority on color. Pantone leads the way in graphic design, fashion, and beauty. Their color choices are part of the tapestry of our lives. We color matched these delightful colors from Pantone: Fired Brick (Garnet), Sleet (Tanzanite), Blue Depths (Dark Blue Lapis), and Military Olive (Antique Brass). You can find our quad of beading wire collection on our site that complements our Pantone Bead collections.
Here I used the blue depths and sleet color beads from our 2020 Fall / Winter Pantone Bead Mix with Non-Tarnish Silver Plated Craft Wire. This bead mix is ready for your most elegant fall and holiday jewelry design ideas.
Here I used the brick red, military olive and gold accent beads from our 2020 Fall / Winter Pantone Bead Mix with Red and Green Craft Wire. Perfect for holiday jewelry.
