Beggers Beads
About this design:
These bracelets are made with left over beads and memory wire. I have a box where I keep left overs and periodically I'll take out a handful and make something. So here we have easy on/easy off memory wire bracelets.
Components:
various stone and glass beads, single loop of memory wire, metallic seed beadsAdditional Images:

Crystal Canary says:Great pieces to grab & go–they would slip on in a flash. I have a terrible time trying to fasten my bracelets with buttons. Love the variety of colors & beads in these. Stacked–Yes!

K Ralston says:You can’t go wrong with memory wire. You have a great selection of colors in these. It’s great when you can find a use for all the odds and end beads.
