Bring the wire over the top of the bangle again. Be sure to lay the wire as close as possible to the previous wire. |

Step 4
Bring the wire behind the bangle and pull it up through the middle of the bangle. This has now anchored the wire to the bangle with two wraps. | | Step 5
String a bead onto the wire. In this case we are using a 3mm bicone crystal. | | Step 6
Bring the wire over the top of the bangle. The bead should be resting on the outer edge. |
|

 |
|
Step 7
Holding the bead in place, bring the wire down behind the bangle and back through the middle. | | Step 8
Bring the wire over the top of the bangle. | | Step 9
Bring the wire behind the bangle and pull it up through the middle. |

Step 10
String a bead onto the wire. | | Step 11
Bring the wire over the top of the bangle. The bead should be resting on the outer edge of the bangle. | | Step 12
Holding the bead in place, bring the wire down behind the bangle and back through the middle. |

Step 13
Bring the wire over the top of the bangle. | | Step 14
Bring the wire behind the bangle and pull it up through the middle. | | Step 15
Continue the pattern by repeating steps 6 - 14 until you have completely covered the bangle. |
|

|
Step 16
To anchor the end of the wire to the bangle, wrap the wire around the bangle twice. | | Step 17
Once the wire is anchored, cut the end of the wire with the wire cutters. | | Step 18
Use chain nose pliers to squeeze the end of the wires tight against the bangle. There should not be any wires sticking out. |
|
 | |
 | |
 |
|
Step 19
If you have run out of wire and need to add more, cut a 3 foot length of wire. Anchor the new piece of wire by wrapping the end of the wire once over the last two wraps of the previous wire. | | Step 20
String a bead onto the wire. | | Step 21
Continue pattern by repeating steps 6 - 14 until you have completely covered the bangle. |
|
 | |

|
Step 22
Cut the end of the wire with the wire cutters and squeeze the ends of the wires with the chain nose pliers flat against the bangle. | | Step 23
Add a small drop of Hypo Tube Cement to the ends of the wire and let dry completely. This will help prevent the ends of the wires from snagging. | | Step 24
Congratulations! You have now covered a bangle. |
