Ride the Wave is a wire weave bracelet make-along series brought to you by Door 44 Studios. Today, in Part 1 of this series, we're going to form the bracelet band, including an elegant hook and loop closure, using a single piece of heavy gauge wire.
In this beginner-friendly wire weaving project, you'll have the opportunity to practice several wirework skills including shaping core wires, hand finishing techniques, and of course, wire weaving techniques.
You can use any 2-base wire weaving pattern on this bracelet, and you can even add accent beads, or additional core wires to embellish your bracelet and make it your own.
Join me as I walk you through the process of making this simple and elegant bracelet design, step by easy step! And if you'd like to join other wire weavers as we make this bracelet together, be sure to join my private Facebook Group, Wire Weaving with Wendi.
