Want a fast, easy, affordable and completely trendy item for your summer shows? Pull out that spool of memory wire that you have stashed away in your supplies and create some fun memory wire bracelets. Here is an updated version of one of the simplest designs you can whip up. What you'll need: Memory Wire - 3-5 loops depending on how big you want the cuff Seed Beads - I used 4x2mm peanut seed beads and 11/0 copper seed beads Decorative headpin - Humblebeads Pewter charm - Green Girl Studios 3 7.5mm copper jump rings Tools: Round and chain nose pliers, heavy duty wire cutters or memory wire cutters and a Spin-N-Bead bead spinner. Directions: 1. Form a loop on one end of the memory wire. Use the chain nose pliers to press the end of the loop, so that it is completely flush - you don't want your charms falling off! 2. Add the seed beads to the bead spinner and position the end of the wire to catch the beads as they spin around. (Watch the video below and use the end of the memory wire instead of the needle.) You should be able to bead the bracelet within a few minutes. 3. Add on your charms to the end of the wires with the jump rings or by opening and closing the loop. For the headpin, I created a wrapped loop and kept wrapping the extra wire to create that entwined texture. 4. Add the 3 peanut beads to a jump ring and attach to the loop. Repeat. Peanut seed beads can be found at WhimBeads.com, FusionBeads.com or BelloModo.com. A design alternative using a tiny nest charm, Vintaj brass bird and 3 amazonite rondelles. Word of caution: Don't use your good flush cutters to cut memory wire - memory wire is harder than normal wire and will destroy them. Use an old pair of heavy duty hardware wire cutters or pick up a memory wire cutters. What the heck is a bead spinner? This is! Watch the video below to see how it works. If you hated working with seed beads before because stringing them is so time consuming - well you are just going to love me for sharing this handy little tool. It took just a few minutes to whip up the bracelets using the Spin-n-Bead from Beadalon. You can find them at craft stores or online bead shops.

My mom is one of the most creative people I know, not only is she a ceramic artist but she can turn just about anything into something unique and creative. And for as long as I can remember she always finds really pretty ways to wrap gifts for any occasion. Recently I asked if she would put together a project with some gift wrap inspiration and what she came up with are a few gorgeous ways to use beads in gift wrapping. A bead spinner is just about the coolest thing out there (would make a really fun holiday gift too). To use- you fill the spinner with small beads and then spin those beads onto any kind of stringing materials (we used 24 gauge wire). We created a variety of different colors of beaded wire- measuring around 45 inches and then turned those beaded wires into all sorts of pretty little embellishments to top packages! Wrap a package with beaded wire and then bend and twist more beaded wire into a bow. Make Beaded Flowers 1. Start by crimping the ends of the wire so the beads won't fall off and then twist the wire into loops. 2. Work your way down the wire, twisting to create more loops. 3. As more loops are created begin bending your wire into a spiral so that the loops overlap and it forms the shape of a flower. 4. Add a large bead or even more wire beads to the center. 5. Finish with a pin on the back so that your topper can double as a gift! Wire is SO versatile and forgiving - there are all kinds of ways to create flowers and shapes. Use your creativity to bend, twist and manipulate that beaded wire into a variety of sculptural objects! 1. Create the center of a flower by folding beaded wire in half. 2. Then twist it together. 3. Next gather and "scrunch" the wire so that it rolls up into something that resembles a knot! These little embellishments can be used for the center of flowers, can be turned into a pair of earrings or used alone to embellish all kinds of creative projects. We created simple felt flowers and added tiny beaded knots to the center and added a pin to the back (could also turn then into hair clips).
