The colorful custom tassels are what really make this memory wire bracelet unique.
Texture tells an enchanting story in this beautiful bracelet. Braided cork cord from Regaliz combines with gleaming silver chain and colorful tassels, for a look that shines in any style
Measure a length of Regaliz natural hollow braided cork cord to fit around your wrist (allowing for some overlap on both ends) and cut to size with a leather cord cutter. Use memory wire shears to cut a piece of memory wire several coils long. You want the wire to be a little longer than the cord. Thread the cord onto the wire.
At one end of the cord, make sure the wire is flush with the cord. Apply some adhesive to the inside of a TierraCast 6mm rhodium-plated brass Taj end cap and insert the end of the cord into the cap. Allow to dry.
Trim the other end of the wire flush with the end of the cord and add the other end cap with adhesive. Allow to dry.
When cutting your chain, allow for some extra length to start and then trim them after you achieve the drape you like. This can vary quite a bit depending on how far apart the two ends of the bracelet are. We cut a length of silver-plated rollo chain approximately 1 1/2-inches long and then cut a length of 2.5x3.5mm silver-plated square wire cable chain approximately two inches long.
Attach one end of both chains to one end cap using a sterling silver 5.85mm open jump ring. Connect the two chains together on the other end using a sterling silver 4.20mm open jump ring. Attach the 9x5mm silver-plated trigger clasp to that jump ring using another 4.20mm jump ring. Attach a 5.85mm jump ring to the end cap on the other end of the bracelet. Connect the clasp to the jump ring to close.
Make three tassels using thread from the TOHO One-G beading thread 12 color dark assortment. When making your tassels, tie a thread around each tassel bundle first to gather all of the threads together. After the tassel is made, replace the tie with a 5.85mm jump ring.
Attach a 4.20mm jump ring to the 5.85mm jump ring on the end of your bracelet (the end you would secure your clasp to). Attach one of your tassels to this jump ring using another 4.20mm jump ring. Attach another tassel to the same jump ring using another 4.20mm jump ring. Attach your final tassel to the same jump ring using two 4.20mm jump rings linked together.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Measure a length of Regaliz natural hollow braided cork cord to fit around your wrist (allowing for some overlap on both ends) and cut to size with a leather cord cutter. Use memory wire shears to cut a piece of memory wire several coils long. You want the wire to be a little longer than the cord. Thread the cord onto the wire.
At one end of the cord, make sure the wire is flush with the cord. Apply some adhesive to the inside of a TierraCast 6mm rhodium-plated brass Taj end cap and insert the end of the cord into the cap. Allow to dry.
Trim the other end of the wire flush with the end of the cord and add the other end cap with adhesive. Allow to dry.
When cutting your chain, allow for some extra length to start and then trim them after you achieve the drape you like. This can vary quite a bit depending on how far apart the two ends of the bracelet are. We cut a length of silver-plated rollo chain approximately 1 1/2-inches long and then cut a length of 2.5x3.5mm silver-plated square wire cable chain approximately two inches long.
Attach one end of both chains to one end cap using a sterling silver 5.85mm open jump ring. Connect the two chains together on the other end using a sterling silver 4.20mm open jump ring. Attach the 9x5mm silver-plated trigger clasp to that jump ring using another 4.20mm jump ring. Attach a 5.85mm jump ring to the end cap on the other end of the bracelet. Connect the clasp to the jump ring to close.
Make three tassels using thread from the TOHO One-G beading thread 12 color dark assortment. When making your tassels, tie a thread around each tassel bundle first to gather all of the threads together. After the tassel is made, replace the tie with a 5.85mm jump ring.
Attach a 4.20mm jump ring to the 5.85mm jump ring on the end of your bracelet (the end you would secure your clasp to). Attach one of your tassels to this jump ring using another 4.20mm jump ring. Attach another tassel to the same jump ring using another 4.20mm jump ring. Attach your final tassel to the same jump ring using two 4.20mm jump rings linked together.
