      Choose the beads you want to use for your coil bracelet. You can go simple and use one type of bead, or get creative and use as many types as you want.

    • 2

      Cut a coil of memory wire to the length you desire using memory-wire shears.

    • 3

      Use a pair of round nose pliers to curl one end of your memory wire into a small loop. This takes a bit of effort because the memory wire is so stiff, but it's important to keep your beads from sliding off the end of the wire.

      String your beads onto the wire in the pattern of your choosing until you get within about half an inch from the end of the wire.
