Crochet Wire and Bead Bracelet

This step-by-step photo tutorial is posted at the About Jewelrymaking website. Your Guide, Tammy Powley, demonstrates how to crochet a wire bracelet embellished with beads. She uses simple chain stitches, beads, and 24 gauge craft wire for this project.

Love Knot Embracelet

This bracelet is crocheted using medium or large sized beads plus 26 gauge wire.

Vashti Braha designed this bracelet, which she suggests as a possibility for Mother's Day gift-giving. I concur that this would be a great gift for Mom, but I imagine you'd want to make several of these bracelets, one for all the ladies you love.

Vashti's bracelet took her less than an hour to make, so this is a reasonably quick project.

Wire Crochet Bracelet

This bracelet measures 7 inches long, but the instructions are written in such a way that it would be reasonably easy to adjust this if you'd rather make your bracelet a different size. The suggested supplies for this bracelet include beads and 26-gauge silver wire.

The instructions are posted at the Ben Franklin Crafts website.

Crocheted Wire Necklace

If you decide to give this multi-strand necklace a try, you'll use 26-gauge copper wire plus a variety of different beads to crochet it. The completed necklace measures 22 inches long.

Skill Level: Intermediate

Project Designer: Miranda Stewart. The free instructions are posted at the Better Homes and Gardens website.
