Crazy Copper Cuff

Crazy Copper Cuff

2009

Make a freeform cuff with copper wire and beads. This is good for beaders who are intimidated by wire. You can’t make design mistakes because you make it up as you go along!! This is a simple wire rectangle of thicker wire, secured with thinner wire and wrapped with beads in a freeform manner. Once you get the beads secured to the thicker wire, you shape it into a cuff, and make a simple hook clasp to keep it closed. You will learn how wire responds to your attempts to wrap it and manipulate it. Don’t be afraid of it –it is lumpy, bumpy and handcrafted, just like people.
