This bangle tutorial is not for the faint of heart: approximately 25 feet of wire is required and many hours of patient hand-coiling. The result is worth it: make this one for yourself, and boy will your friends be jealous!

Post a Tip about this Tutorial

This is very pretty!

This is the very first tutorial I used. I love it! After three or so attemps with different levels of success, I have pieces I love and have passed along as gifts for dear friends. So dive in and go for it! I learned so much on every try.

I did this bangle a couple years ago and it was surprisingly easy to do with Eni's terrific instructions. Unfortunately (?) a friend bought it before I could get a picture.

Eni Hey, congratulations on your work is truly beautiful. Within the public have many Latino fans, where we can have your tutorials in Spanish?
Receives warm welcome from a Venezuela.

Oh My, I fell in love the moment I saw this one. What a gorgeous piece of art. But, then, it is to be expected as I have always loved EVERYTHING you create. Bev

Bev, thank you so much for the comment, I'm touched!
Eni

Hi Eni, great tutorial and easy to follow! I love how complete your instructions are, down to the warning of how long the project might take! And it did...but worth it!

Yep-- I try to tell people that, although it looks nice, it takes PATIENCE... so they usually get a much better experience out of the entire process, knowing that it is somewhat of a challenge.

Hi Eni,
I just wanted to tell you how very impressed I am with this and several other tutorials I ordered from you. You are very thorough in your explanation and also with photos. Additionally, I wanted to thank you for your willingness and the willingness of the other teachers to share your skills and inspiration with other artists. You are the best. You are the Queen of Tute Land!! I have only been a member of JL since 3/31 and I have learned so so much and more importantly, I have been so inspired by all the other artists and members. We are all so lucky that we have this opportunity. Thanks again!

This is my first wire wrap piece, and I am very pleased with how it is working out. Excellent directions, I have not had one problem or difficulty with this tutorial. Eni, you are so talented! Thanks so much for making it available.

Wow, you made your first wire wrap with this tutorial? I'm very impressed... this is a tricky pattern to say the least... Congrats!

Eni, your directions were spot on, the details were all there. I have done much bead work in the past, and I am also a textile weaver, so I do know about weaving other things. The only thing that was a challenge was that the memory wire is tight to work with. The next time I will use 18 gauge wire. I was hesitant this time because of not knowing how it would go and the cost of 18 gauge. I used 30 gauge sterling and pink opals. Not quite finished yet, but I will post when I am done.

Absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I Love this bracelet! It's definitely on my list for this summer!
