 So those are the bracelets that I have made so far with memory wire. I recently bought some multi-coloured square beads and some pearls. The designs I have done so far are fairly simple but read my next instalement for my beautiful turquoise glass necklace and perhaps a few how to's! I am hoping to do some videos very soon so hopefully you will enjoy those! :)
