• Wood Mandrel Set (TL00145)

Components List

• (1) A004222 – 9mm Copper Bali Style Cut Out Round Bead
• (1) AW00053 – 24 Gauge Bare Copper Artistic Wire
• (1) Y009660 – 8mm Melon Ladybug Red and Orange with Copper Wash Large Hole Czech Glass Beads
• (1) A011519 – Add-A-Bead Copper Plate Wire Bracelet with Removable Ball End
• (1) HEMRG4FB – Hematite Rose Gold Plated 4mm “Football” Shape 15-16 Inch

Directions:

1. Cut 3 Pieces of wire about 1 yard long each and set aside.
2. Take the ball off the add-a-bead bracelet and put the 4 Bali style beads on it and replace the ball.
3. Cut a piece of wire about the length of your arm span. (depending on your arm span you may have to cut more wire later, but this is a good length to start with).
4. Starting at the end opposite the ball, wrap one end of the wire as close to the hook as possible. Make 10 more wraps.
5. Use the Bali bead to push your 10 wraps snug up against the first wrap.
6. String 3 of the 4mm rose gold hematite onto your wire and bring them down towards your wraps until you have about ¼ of an inch between the first bead and the bracelet. Then, bring the wire around the bracelet leaving ¼ of inch between the last bead and the bracelet. See photo 1.
7. Bring the 2 ends on the bracelet together, making sure to keep the beads at the top of your U shape.
8. Twist the beads until the wire is wrapped. See photo 2.
9. Repeat steps 6-8, making sure the U shape is facing opposite the one you just made.
10. Then, make 11 more wire wraps. Use one of the Bali style beads to snug up your wraps.
11. Pull one of the beads as close to the wraps as possible. Pull the wire over the Bali style bead and make 11 wraps. Use a Bali style bead to snug up those wraps.
12. Repeat steps 6-8.
13. Make 35 more wire wraps. Use the Bali bead to snug up those wraps.
14. Repeat steps 6-10 two more times.
15. Repeat steps 6-8 and set aside. (you should be ending with 11 wraps).

To make the flowers:

1. Pull a little over 2 feet of wire. Then, wrap the wire around the 5/7” Mandrel 8 times as shown. See photo 3.
2. Twist the 2 ends of the wire together as shown (see photo 4). Then, carefully pull the wire off the mandrel making sure to hold the coils together.
3. Wrap the wire around the coils where you twisted it.
4. Pull both wires up to meet and hold them snug. Fan out your coils so they are evenly spaced. See photo 5.
5. Twist each of the coils so they lay flat to form your petals and pull them so they are evenly spaced. See photo 6.
6. Place your chain nose pliers at the top of your petal and grab the center top of the petal and twist to the right. Repeat with the remaining 7 petals. See photo 7.
7. Cut a piece of wire about 3 inches long and put one of the red and copper melon beads on it.
8. Fold the wire so the bead is in the center. Take the wire and put one end through the petals as close to the center as possible.
9. Cross the wires so they are opposite from each other under the flower and come up through the petals.
10. Pull snug and wrap each wire one time between the base of the bead and the flower. Trim those wires and tuck your ends in so they are not sticking out.
11. Repeat steps 1-10 two more times, for a total of three flowers.

Adding the flowers to the bracelet:

1. Split the wires on the bottom of the flower, putting one on each side of the bracelet in the middle of your first section of 35 wraps. Take each wire and wrap it around the bracelet, pulling snug to secure the flower. Wrap a couple of times and then cut your wire and tuck the ends.
2. Repeat step 1 two more times, for a total of three attached flowers.
3. Put the hook over the ball to close the ring. Fits small votives.
