Also on Saturday at the Museum was the Annual Beads Art Gala
Which fortunately for those on a budget included a table where you could for $5 dollars make yourself a bracelet!
So the girls set to and did so.
It was a simple technique take a piece of "Memory wire" thin stainless steel wire that has been coiled and remembers the shape.
Bend a small circle or coil at one end ...thread beads onto it ..randomly or in a careful pattern ...bend the end with a matching coil and you are done ....excellent results.... so excellent that we nipped to a store on the way home bought inexpensive glass beads and memory wire on clearance ..borrowed my OH's wire clippers are were off .
Much fun was had :o)

Yes, that does look like fun! Very pretty too.
ReplyDeleteThanks ! and it's a bit addictive...
ReplyDeleteLove those bracelets! And you make it sound so easy. (Thinks: Maybe that's what I'd be good at.)
ReplyDeleteIt is Super easy ! honest ..the only thing to watch is the wire if you need to trim it as it wishes to fly at speed...yikes
