Barbed Wire Bracelets

You’ll Need:

• Wire (18 G)
• Jewelery Pliers and Wire Snips
• Masking Tape

First cover the pliers with masking tape so they don’t mark the wire

Then cut a length of wire (double the size of your wrist, with a little to spare) and twist together. Tighten with the pliers.

Now wrap a small length of wire around the bracelet. Do this for each “barb” you’d like.

Last, file down the rough edges. The bracelet may be a bit flexible at first, but over time the wire will harden.
