How To Make Crystal Bangles: Jewelry Making Tutorial

How To Make Jewelry: How To Make Crystal Bangles

These crystal bangles are super easy to make and fun to wear! You can make them in just four simple steps.

Materials & Tools
45 Swarovski crystal bicones, 4mm
Memory wire, gold, Large Bracelet size
Wire cutters
Round-nose pliers

Steps
1. Cut a piece of memory wire that is a complete loop with a half inch overlap.

2. Bend a small loop in one end using the round-nose pliers.

3. Slide on the crystal bicones.

4. Bend a small loop in the other end using the round-nose pliers.

Memory wire is wire that is permanently shaped in a coil. It is usually found in bracelet size and necklace size. The coil you see in the package is the size of the bracelet or necklace you can make. For this bracelet, we used a package of memory wire labeled “large bracelet.” This is the perfect wire to use to make memory wire bracelets.

To make the Crystal Bangle Bracelets you will need two tools: round-nose pliers and wire cutters.

You will also need bicone crystals in a rainbow of colors.

To make one Crystal Bangle Memory Wire Bracelet, start by cutting a length of memory wire equal to one complete coil plus one half inch.

Bend a small loop into the end of the memory wire using the round-nose pliers. This will keep the beads from sliding off.

Feed a complete coil’s worth of crystal bicone beads onto the memory wire. Finish the bracelet by making another loop in the other end of the memory wire.

Make a crystal bangle in red, orange, peach, lime, green, turquoise, and cobalt blue.

These bracelets would look lovely as a set of all one color. Make seven with jet black bicones for a dressy glamorous look. Make a set in all blues or grays. They will look so pretty!

And these crystal bangles are so easy to make they’d be great for a girls’ night craft party. Set out different colors of beads and let the beading begin!
