This fun frame bracelet is a great starter project for the jewelry artist who is new to wire wrapping. It is easy to change the length of the bracelet – simply add in or decrease the bends on your frame before wrapping on your beads. You can also use a smaller mandrel (for example, 7 mm mandrel for 6 mm beads) for a smaller, more delicate looking bracelet or use a larger mandrel for semi-precious nuggets and create a large, chunky bracelet. Whichever you chose, just have fun – this is so quick and easy to make!
