New copper bangles!

I got some inspiration from Karen of Artful Crafts addition to the Artbeads.com's Photos - Colors of Fall Design Partners Gallery I, copper bangle.



Isn't this the GREATEST!!! I fell in love with this design and I had to try and make one myself.





I used 12 ga wire and wrapped it around a spray paint can. That makes about a 7 1/2 inch bangle. Made loops at the ends of the wire and hammered them. Then I took 22 ga wire and wrapped all the way around the bangle to hold the wire in shape. Next took more 22 ga wire and started to wrap and add beads - alternating with seed beads and gemstones.





Loads of fun and really quick to make. I was surprised I could make one in about an hour.
