instructions

1. Cuff - 1. Cut eight pieces of bracelet-sized memory wire, 2cm coil. Bend one end of each piece into a tight loop with round-nosed pliers. Thread up four lengths with seed and bugle beads, bending the end of the wire into a loop when each bracelet is full.
   
   2. Thread up the remaining four pieces with larger beads and secure as before. Pass an eye pin through one loop on each bracelet, alternating the sizes of bead as you go. Trim and bend the end of the pin into a loop to hold all the lengths onto it.
   
   3. Separate the bracelets into adjacent pairs and loosely plait them together. Hold the end of the plait in one hand and thread a second eye pin through the free loops at the other end, trimming and bending the end of the pin into a loop to secure.
   

2. Make it yours - This set can be made in any combination of colours you like, so try greens and blues or pinks and reds for a different look.
