Extra Heavy Duty Memory Wire is a carbon steel wire that has been plated and is the most durable of the Memory Wire in the family. Excellent to use when you are working with larger and heavier beads and want your designs to keep their shape. The bracelet coil diameter will vary between 5.7-6.7mm (2.25"-2.63"). This larger bracelet wire is 1mm thick (approximately 18 gauge). The last three photos show: a sample project, how bead sizes and shapes affect the overall diameter, and how certain shapes will or won't work with memory wire. The .5 ounce of wire may not be in one continuous loop. You may receive smaller groups of loops.
.5 oz. (approximately 9 loops)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Basic directions:
This larger bracelet memory wire is a bit more comfortable for adults than smaller looped wire. That extra diameter can really make a difference. Just cut your length (normally 2 to 6 loops), curl one end, slide your beads onto the memory wire, then loop the last end and you're finished. Easy!
Tips:
* Curl the ends up, away from the center
* Use spacer bars to create a band or cuff effect
