Wrapped Wire Bracelet

Thanks to Cookie, member of the OTOW Polymer Clay Group, for sharing this wrapped wire bracelet pattern. It a great way to feature Polymer Clay Beads that we have made.

The bracelet uses 12 gauge aluminum wire,  22 gauge silver wire and 7-9 round beads(# depends on  wrist size).  The polymer beads I used were 12 MM, but can be adjusted depending on the size of the wire loops you make.

Polymer Clay

This Winter I took an Introduction to Polymer Clay Beads class through the "Master the Possibilities" Program in Ocala, FL. The photos in this post are to show some of my early attempts making polymer clay beads and charms...

After baking the polymer clay beads you can glaze if desired.  Photos of homemade drying tray...Styrofoam and tooth picks. 


Beads, charms and parts for earrings and pins..
