If you have old stocks of spring wire (like I do!), this is a crochet project that you can do with the spring wires. I hope this project inspires you to work with spring wire, which can be used as bracelets, chokers and anklets. Use other crochet and bead crochet techniques – these are just starting projects – there are many many other possibilities!

likerussell suggests using a slinky! Thanks, Laura! :)

Note: This project assumes that you have experience crocheting with beads and wire. The Rustic Version of the bracelet is easier than the Glitter Version so you may wish to try the Rustic Version first.

You will need the following materials:
Spring wire, 21 inches
(Similar to this spring wire which is made of rigid steel that holds its shape so it wraps around your arm by itself)
Round nose pliers
Yarn:
Crochet cotton thread size 8 or 10.
Brown for the rustic version; white with gold glitter for the glitter version.

Notions:
Rustic version:
Wood beads, 0.75cm (with adequate size hole to fit the spring wire), 6 in orange color, 6 in natural wood (if you are using 24” spring wire, you will need 7 orange color beads and 7 natural color beads).

Glitter version:
Purple and white drop glass beads, 1cm at the longest side (with adequate size hole to fit the spring wire), 12 pcs
Iridescent glass seed beads, 4mm (with adequate size hole to fit the spring wire), 24 pcs
(If you are using 24” spring wire, you will need 14 pcs drop glass beads and 28 pcs seed beads).

Hooks:
Steel crochet hook size 6 (1mm)

Gauge: Gauge is not important in this project.

Terminology: Pattern is written using US crochet terminology (there is a conversion chart in the pattern PDF)
