Patterned cuff wire wrap bracelet video tutorial
In this wire work tutorial, I’ll guide you through the process of crafting an intricate beaded cuff bracelet using varous wire weaving techniques. We’ll use multiple base wires, weaving them together with fine wire to create woven patterns. You’ll learn how to master various weaving patterns, design a focal point with the base wires, and incorporate accent beads to embellish the ends of your cuff. Finally, I’ll demonstrate how to establish a secure anchor point for your clasp and chain, ensuring your bracelet is both stylish and functional.
