I love how easy this bracelet came together. Who knew that you could put memory wire inside of the 6mm Braided Cork Cord?

Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

You will notice that this particular cord has a rubber tubing inside of it. You will thread the memory wire though this tube. Please note that you will need two pieces of scotch tape for this project as well.

Tape the very ends of cord to prevent them from fraying as you work.
Begin by threading the memory wire through the rubber tube that is inside all 18 inches of the cord. It will get a bit tricky at the end, so you may need to use your pliers to push and pull the wire through the cord.
Once you have your coil, cut the memory wire from both ends. You should have about 2 3/4 worth of a coil. (See photo for reference).
To glue the end caps, make sure that the tape will be completely covered by the cord end cap. Place a few drops of Super New Glue into the recess of the end cap. Secure it on the cord. This will be a tight fit, so I recommend twisting it as you put it on to keep the braid intact. Repeat this on both ends of the cord.
Wait for the glue to dry before proceeding. At least 30 min.
Open one jump ring and loop it onto the top end cap. Loop on the ladybug charm. Close the jump ring.
Open one jump ring and loop it onto the bottom end cap. Loop on the leaf charm. Close the jump ring.
We recommend allowing the glue to dry fully for 24 hours before wearing.
All Done!
