I haven’t done a lot of crafting with wire before, but lately I’ve got a lot of projects on my to-do list that involve wire. This wire bow bracelet was a great place to start. Easy process with a sleek, stylish result.

Supplies: Thin steel wire (mine was .73 mm), wire pliers, wire cutters, pencil
Step 1: Cut a piece of wire about 13 inches long
Step 2: Wrap one end around a pencil. Do the same to the other end. Be sure to leave a tail for the end of the bow
Step 3: Bring the two ends together and twist one loop over another (see below)
Step 4: Make a small loop and hook on the back
Step 5: Trim the ends if needed
Simple and elegant! I’m a little concerned over the open ends – probably not safe for young ones or snaggy clothing. Perhaps the bow tie ends can be twisted up, or use a small sparkly bead?
This is awesome! I have an arts and craft blog where I do a lot of DIY things, but I haven’t seen anything like this before! Thanks for the creative suggestion!
I love it & it’s so simple! I’ll definitely give this a go – thanks for posting 🙂
I love your creativity, this DIY is simple but really cute!!!
