Wire-Wrapped Cuff Bracelet Chapter 4


7.Now wrap the wire on one side back toward
the center of the cuff bracelet. Then wrap the
wire on the other side of the cuff bracelet
back toward the center. You may need to
trim and file the ends of the wire so that they
end up on the backside of the cuff bracelet.

8.Use the round nose pliers to curl the ends of
the wire up into the wrapped wire on the
underside of the cuff bracelet. Use the chain
nose pliers to firmly squeeze the ends up
into the other wrapped wire. This will keep
the ends securely in place.

5.Slide the wire onto the sterling silver cuff
bracelet to the center mark. Pinch the wire
tight onto the cuff bracelet and, while hold-
ing the wire on the cuff with your fingers,
wrap one side of the wire randomly toward
the I” mark that you made on the top of the
cuff bracelet. You will want to watch where
the 7” and the 17” marks are on the wire and
use them to match up with the I” mark that
you made on the cuff bracelet.


6.Finish wrapping the wire on the other side,
matching up the 7” and the 17” marks on
the cuff bracelet with the I” marks on the
18-gauge wire.
