"Today we're going to learn how to make a bracelet or necklace accent circle. This is a really fun thing you can do with the wire that you already have. You're going to want to use this strong wire. Take a medium size piece. Use your pliers and grab them at the very end. Just get used to this curving your wrist around motion, because you're going to be doing that a lot for this piece. Once you have a loop that hits that straight part of the wire, you're going to use your pliers to grab right next to that and go in the complete opposite direction. You have something that kind of looks like sunglasses. You're going to go in the next direction to make another set of sunglasses. As you go around, you'll start to get a shape that looks like sort of like this. In order to make this more of a circle shape, you can use your pliers to grab these loops and curve them around in a shape of a circle instead of a straight line. You can also use your fingers to guide as well. After you finish forming your shape, you'll come up with a shape that looks similar to this. Then you have a great circle that makes a great accent to any piece of jewelry."
