Instructions

1. Cut 65 to 75 pieces of 18-gauge copper wire for the spokes. The bracelet shown fits a small wrist and contains 65 spokes, which are broken into segments of five each. Seventy spokes work well for a medium-size wrist, and 75 or more for a larger wrist.
2. Use the wire cutters to cut the wire into spokes ranging in size from 1" to 1-1/4".
3. Torch the ends of the wire to shape the ends and to create the pink color shown in the featured piece.

Beginning to Twine

4. You’ll start twining by working with two strands of material. Fold the weaver in half and loop it over the first spoke (figure 1). You now have two strands, or weavers, with which to work.
    
   
5. Twist the two lengths around the adjacent spoke (figure 2).
    
   
6. Continue to twine around the spokes, keeping the tension even (figures 3 and 4).
    
   
    
   
7. Weave across a row of spokes before turning the piece around and twining back to the other side.
8. Lay out the spokes in groups of five (figure 5), positioning the various sizes so that you have a slightly uneven edge.
    
   
9. Cut off a 40" length of the narrow copper wire to use as the weaver for the spokes. Twine five spokes together (see photo).
    
   
10. When you reach the other side of the spokes, stop in the middle of the section and finish it by threading the ends of the wire into the previous row of twining (see photo).
     
    
11. Continue twining the remaining sections (figure 6).
     
    
12. Use the needle-nose pliers to open the jump rings and connect the segments in two places between the outermost spokes on either side (see photo). Attach the clasp to one side and another jump ring to the other side.
