I have always loved to create jewelry since a child It’s always been a fun way to express my creativity but also build affordable accessories, that I can wear.
I created this bracelet, because I’ve always loved hearts and the idea of love, wanting to carry that symbol with me.
For this project you will need
- Pliers
- Wire Cutter
- Wire
- Crotchet tool, or something similar
- Charms, optional
- Sharpie marker, to make marks on wire
The first step, is to fold your wire in half to create a loop on one end. You want your wire to be as long as your wrist (mine is 19 cm) plus extra to make your heart shape, so about 23 cm.
You will then use your pliers, to squeeze your loop fold tighter, this will be for your hook.
Once your wire is folded in half, you will put your charms on, and alternate them between each side. So it will look like the picture above.
Take your wire and curve it around your wrist, this will be your guide, for where you should place your hook, and where you should put your heart. Use your sharpie, to mark where you will bend your hook, and where you will start your heart shape.
Take your crotchet tool, and use it to curve a rounded shape,onto each side of your wire, like the picture on the left. Make sure to hold sides in place with fingers. It should look like the photo on the right.
Cross one end of your heart shape in the front, and one in the back. (As seen in the photo above)
Twist end pieces around, and cut off extra pieces of wire, if there is any.
Use pliers to create hook.
Your hook should look like this. After this step, you should use alcohol pad to wipe off sharpie marks.
Bracelet should fit around your wrist comfortably, you can clasp the hook on either side of your heart shape.
There you have it, a heart charm bracelet!
