"Hi! I'm Robin with trees-mom.com. We're making a video for Expert Village. Today we're doing a crocheted wire Christmas bracelet. We have just finished the third row, and this is what it looks like. Now to finish this off, we're going to pull a tail of about 16 or so inches. Grab the wire cutters and we're cutting the wire. Then we're going to pull the loop all the way out so there's no more loop. This ends the third row. We leave this for the button loop. Then we go the bracelet and pull at the stitches like we did at the end of the second row. This widens the bracelet and flattens it out. It makes it easier to put the beads, the buttons, and everything we're going to put on it to make it look nice. This is what we're ending with. We have the bracelet part. We have a tail on this side and a really long tail on this side. Those are what we're going to use to make the button loop and to attach the buttons. "
