• Jewelry Making Wire of 24 Gauge (3 Different
  Colors such as red, white, and yellow.)
• 1 Filigree Clasp For A Single Strand Bracelet and
  Two Medium Jump Rings
• Masking Tape Or Other Non-Marking Tape
• Nose plier and cutter

• Tie a knot at the top of the string, leaving
  about one inch (2.5 cm) of string above the knot.
  
• Secure the top of the bracelet just by holding it
  between the fingers or by taping or pinning it to
  a surface and start braiding. Braid the bracelet
  exactly as you would braid hair. Don't allow the
  two wires of the same color cross one another.

6

• Continue braiding until you've braided an entire
  bracelet. Once you've found the desired length of
  your bracelet, tie the end in a knot, leaving an
  inch of string.
• Now grasp the end of the braided segment with
  nose pliers and bend the 6 wires about 75
  degrees.

7

• Tie the two ends of the wire together. Use jump
  ring to connect the clasp to the loop in the end
  of the braided wire that you just completed.

8

• Gently bend the braided wire into a round shape
  either using a bracelet mandrel or by hand. This
  completes this braided bracelet jewelry making
  project.
• Now you wrap it around your wrist and start
  showing it off.
