| Measure a length of wire the length of the wearer's wrist and add 2". Most adult wrists are 6-7" in circumference, and children's wrists vary due to age. |
 |
| Bend the end of wire into a small loop, using the needle nose pliers. |
 |
| Use the pliers to twist the end of the wire around itself until secure. |
 |
| Determine a pattern that is pleasing, and begin to add beads and flowers. |
 |
| Here we used a pattern of bead, flower/bead, bead, bead, flower /bead, bead, bead, flower/bead. The chosen beads were 4mm Austrian crystals in ice blue, and baby blue delphinium florets. |
 |
| When finished beading, come to the end of the wire and using the needle nose pliers, bend the end of the wire into a hook. |
 |
| Insert the hook into the small loop on the other end of the bracelet. |
 |
| Use the pliers to bend down the hook, to secure. |

Note: This bracelet can be made in the same way using small fresh florets. Small (1/8" ribbon or colored waxed twine) can also be used in place of wire, using a knot or bow to finish and secure the bracelet. |
