Step by Step
1
To make the bracelet – Cut 3 or 4 coils of the memory wire. Bend one end of the wire to make a loop.
2
Thread on your chosen beads – I used a silver spacer, a large blue crystal, another spacer, a dark blue pearl, a spacer, a small blue crystal, a clear crystal bicone, a small blue crystal, a spacer, and another dark blue pearl.
3
Repeat step two until you have filled the bracelet, finishing with a silver spacer. Turn the end to a loop to finish.
4
To make the earrings – Cut a loop of memory wire to make a circle measuring about 4cm across. Turn one end to a loop and thread on a silver spacer bead, a dark blue pearl, another spacer, a blue crystal, a clear crystal bicone, a spacer, a pearl and lastly a silver spacer bead. Turn the other end of the memory wire to a loop.
5
Thread a headpin with a silver spacer bead, a large blue crystal and another silver spacer. Turn the end to a loop.
6
Use a jumpring to attach the beaded head pin to the two loops in the memory wire so that it hangs inside the loop. Use another jumpring to attach an earring finding.
7
Repeat for a second earring.
