Evening Hush Memory Wire Bracelet
This gorgeous Memory Wire bracelet reminds us of the clear winter night sky; it just begs to be worn for a special occasion, or thrown on while running errands to add some pizzazz to your day! Our luminous Blue Iris Pony Beads are embellished with clusters of Swarovskis, pearls, and golden rounds to create a beautiful midnight mix of colors. If you prefer a thicker cuff bracelet, simply add on a few more packages of Pony Beads and 4mm Gold Plated Rounds and cut a longer piece of Memory Wire.

Directions:
Step 1. Cut approximately 18” of Memory Wire with Memory Wire Cutters. Bend one end of the wire 90 degrees with Flat Nose Pliers approximately 3/8 inch from the end. Using Round Nose Pliers, curl this into a tight loop but do not close entirely.
Step 2. String 10 Pony Beads and one 4mm Gold Plated Round onto the Memory Wire. Repeat this pattern twelve times, followed by 10 more Pony Beads. Form a tight loop on this end, following the same process as in Step 1 and trimming any excess with Memory Wire Cutters (do not close the loop entirely).
Step 3. Make two of each of the following combinations. Form a tight loop above the bead on each Pin by bending the Head Pin 90 degrees with Flat Nose Pliers, trim the excess with Wire Cutters to leave 3/8 inch behind, and curl into a loop with Round Nose Pliers. These will create the dangles for your bracelet.
String each of the following onto a Thick Head Pin:
Pins 1 and 2: one Beadcap, one Midnight Blue Pearl, one Crystal Golden Shadow Swarovski, one Cyclamen Opal Swarovski.
Pins 3 and 4: one Midnight Blue Pearl, one 4mm Gold Plated Round.
Pins 5 and 6: one Midnight Blue Pearl, one Beadcap, one Cyclamen Opal Swarovski.
Pins 7 and 8: one 3mm Gold Plated Round, one Crystal Golden Shadow Swarovski.
Pins 9 and 10: one 3mm Gold Plated Round, one Cyclamen Opal Swarovski.
String each of the following onto a Thin Head Pin:
Pins 11 and 12: one Crystal Golden Shadow Swarovski, one 3mm Gold Plated Round, one Cyclamen Opal Swarovski.
Pins 13 and 14: one Butterscotch Pearl, one Cyclamen Opal Swarovski.
Pins 15 and 16: one Purple Pearl, one 3mm Gold Plated Round, one Butterscotch Pearl.
Pins 17 and 18: one Crystal Golden Shadow Swarovski, one Purple Pearl.
Pins 19 and 20: one Crystal Golden Shadow Swarovski, one Midnight Blue Pearl.
Step 4. Gather all of the even-numbered Pins. Gently pry open a Jump Ring and add your dangles one-by-one and loop it onto one end of the Memory Wire. Gently close the Jump Ring and then the Memory Wire loop with Flat Nose Pliers.
Step 5. Repeat Step 4 on the other end of the Memory Wire with the odd-numbered Pins. Enjoy!
