How to Make a Personalized Bracelet With Words

Give a personalized bracelet to a friend to make her feel special.

Bracelets are a beautiful addition to your wrist or jewelry collection. However, it's sometimes difficult to find one with the exact words or message you want. Creating a custom bracelet can help. You can personalize it with your favorite colors, charms and gems, and include letter combinations for any word. This is especially handy if you don't have a common name, but want to add your name to the bracelet or if you're creating a gift for a friend.

Things You'll Need

• 1-1/2 coils memory wire
• Memory wire end
• Wire cutters
• Flat and round nose pliers
• Personalized charm
• Letter beads
• Glue

Instructions

1. Measure and cut 1-1/5 coils memory wire with wire cutters.

2. Bend one end of the memory wire downward, at a 90-degree angle, with a pair of flat nose pliers. Use a pair of round nose pliers to form a loop at the end.

3. Attach a charm to the loop and glue it in place, holding it for a few minutes to dry.

4. Arrange the letter beads on a flat surface in the correct order, starting with the first letter for the personalized words you're creating.

5. String the first letter onto the memory wire and add the remaining letters.

6. Add a little glue to the end of the wire and attach the memory wire end. Hold it in place for a few minutes to dry.
