Copper Entwined Bracelet

[fiskars top ten] Deb Perry
Never having used the Wire Winder Jig before to make jewelry, I was surprised at how simple it was to make this bracelet! All I had to do was gather some wire, a few pliers, some of Cloud 9 Design’s colorful Jumbo Rain Dots, and I had a brand new piece of costume jewelry!

Instructions
(Print version)
Cut a 5” length of 20 gauge wire using Wire Cutters. Make a small loop with pliers, attach to Wire Winder Peg, and wrap to make design. Make sure that the clear plastic is in place BEFORE you add wire.
Gently lift up plastic to remove wire design. Cut at last loop with Wire Cutters.
Close gaps by gently squeezing small loops with Flat Nose Pliers.
Repeat above steps 6 times. This will create 7 wire designs total.
Cut a 36” length of 10 gauge wire. Thread one end of wire
through loop of wire design, looping around end several times to secure.
Remove one pair of Jumbo Rain Dots from packaging and match sticky sides. Begin wrapping with wire (the one attached to the wire design). Once you’ve wrapped about halfway….thread another wire design to the end. You will secure this to the opposite side of the Rain Dot by twisting a loop with the Needle Nose Pliers. Once Wire Design is attached and secure, continue wrapping remainder of wire. Use last bit of wire to wrap around the joint between the Wire Design and Rain Dot.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 till you have covered and connected 6 pair of Rain Dots.
Cut a 1 ½ “ length of 10 gauge wire. Fashion a loop around last wire design. Secure and clip ends. Use this loop to attach magnetic clasp.
