Instructions:

  1. Cut five 4" lengths of wire in two different colors for the big links. You should have a total of ten 4" lengths of wire. Cut ten 2 " lengths of wire.

  2. String the crimp onto a 4" length of wire. Make a 1/2" loop and string the wire through the crimp again. Make a 5/8" loop and string the tail of the wire through the crimp. The wire passed through the crimp 3 times. Crimp the tube using the crimping pliers and cut off excess wire. Create five of these components in two different colors for a total of ten big links.

  3. Use a 2" length of wire to connect two of the large components made in two different colors. String a crimp onto your wire. String the wire through the middle of each of the large components. Make a 1/4" loop and string the tail of the wire back through the crimp. Crimp the tube using the crimping pliers and cut off excess wire.

  4. Continue to connect all big links with the 2" lengths of wire.

  5. This bracelet will have some spring to it and should fit over your hand. You can change the size by adding links or removing links. You can make it more interesting by adding beads or make several and mix up the colors for big or small links. This design is a great way to use up leftover pieces of wire so that you can use just about every bit from the trio.
