ATTENTION: You must be comfortable with doing wire wrapped loops. Please watch my videos on how to do a wrapped loop and how to link them together before attempting this project. You will save yourself a lot of frustration.

How to do a wrapped loop:    • Perfect Wire Wrapped Loops with this ...  
How to link together:    • Perfect Wire Wrapped Loops Part 3- Links  
How to use LOS (Liver Of Sulfur):    • How To Patina with Liver of Sulfur (LOS)  

In this video I show you a very cool bracelet that works for both men and women. I am using 18 gauge bare copper wire in the video but you could use colored craft wire, sterling silver, etc. Add bead links to totally change it up. For a man, 16 & 14 gauge are a nice weight. You are going to love the ideas you are going to come up with...love love this project.


Tools & Materials
Pliers: Round, Chain & Flat Nose
Cutters: Full Flush
Ruler
LOS (Liver of Sulfur)
Superfine Steel Wool
18-14 gauge soft wire (I used bare copper)

  • I just started playing around with wire wrapping today... I'm serious, I picked this up for the first time today. Even a clumsy newbie like me could successfully make this bracelet for my little girl. She loves it, and I love this video! Thanks for making it so easy to follow. I'll be watching more of your videos for sure!

    Hiya, Liz! I’ve been making these bracelets for years thanks to you! I just made a sterling silver one for my son and he loves it! Hoping this finds you well and hope that you’re still DANCING! Xoxo
  • @Steve-0220
    Can't tell you how many compliments I've had making your chain for others. I have a picture of a bracelet I made for my nephew's HS Graduation. I would send it to you if I knew how. Thanks again for an excellent tutorial.

    I found some coiled copper wire from scrapping an A/C unit and thought I'd save it and make a bracelet for the first time. So I looked it up on YT and came across your video. It came out very nice I'm impressed and so are my friends thanks to you👍🏼 great teacher btw.👏🏼

    I can just imagine what a real jeweler says about this technique! Rudimentary. Takes a wire wrap lover like me to appreciate this.
  • @OldHag73
    I made a bracelet from this tutorial about a year ago and it's my absolute favorite bracelet that I have. Wear it almost daily and it only gets prettier. Don't need to take it off for sleep or shower it is just on there so comfortable. So big big thank you for this tutorial
  • @juliamyers1410
    I just made this with 16g copper wire my step-daughter got me for Christmas.  It turned out so beautiful, I now want to make a matching bracelet to go with it!  Great video and so easy to follow...thank you so much!
  • Im a "Guys"guy who is a mechanic and rides a Harley. Iv made 2 pieces for my wife and I actually love making jewlery. I love this video. I will learn more from you. Thank you for putting in the time to record the videos.
  • @roxannecoyne2744
    I made this last night as a Christmas gift for my nephew and it turned out great!!! I used 16g antique copper and silver. Alternating colors. Your tutorial was very easy to follow. Thank you so much!!
  • @mamahare1025
    I made this bracelet for my best friend. I used 14 guage. It looks great on his wrist and he loves it. Thank you!
  • Thank you for such a wonderful tutorial, I knew how to make this link BUT, it is so nice to have a perfectionist go over it so that you end up with a bracelet just like yours…PERFECT!!!. Again, thank you 🙏🏼❤️
  • @kirtandrews1859
    You are way too talented. Gorgeous I was wondering if I could make a necklace. Now I know I can yippee
  • @dangitgayle555
    I love this! I’ve made about 4 of these now and I have a tip for anyone with cheap flush cutters that don’t leave a smooth end. File your ends smooth by hand, it saves so much time when your trying to tuck your ends in and avoid sharp edges.
  • @BonnieJHP
    Just made this bracelet for myself out of 18g wire. Love it! Thanks Liz.
  • @dianedoonan8903
    Thank you for this tutorial. I will be making about 300 chains to raise funds for charity. Thanks to you I can do this really interesting style among others.
  • When I watch videos like this I sometimes think about the very first person who created the links. Same with any other wire links. Someone was just sitting around with nothing better to do, saw some thin wire and started bending and wrapping it.
  • @tammygurl64
    I'm fairly new to this craft (3 months). I was searching for a men's bracelet to make as a gift for my cousin-in-law and this is PERFECT for my skill level! 👍 I was actually looking for something with Egyptian cross symbols (the ankh) or Egyptian style but had no luck finding anything masculine (or in my skill level) but if I can figure out how to make a symbol/hook, it will be TWICE PERFECT! Thank you so much for this tutorial. I can hardly wait to see how mine turns out! 🙂
  • @snowygirl3171
    I started this yesterday evening...love a challenge...will finish the bangle today..Love it.💐
  • Thank you for such a wonderful video. I just completed my first wire wrapped bracelet. I am so in love with how elegant it looks and how easy it was to make. And it is so versital. I can leave it as is or add charms into the loops. With the different colors in wire and sizes the possibllities are endless. I cant wait to make more
  • I made that double wrapped bracelet tonight! Holy cow, these are awesome. I love the design and it truly is unisex. I am trying it now with 16 ga. silver color wire. Hopefully I can add patina with the liver of sulfur too. Thanks so much for sharing your talent and designs.
