Understand the Different Tools for Making a Gothic Bracelet

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Robin Westover with trees-mom.com, and we're making a video today for Expert Village. We're crocheting wire to make a Gothic bracelet. Some of the other tools that we're going to need today are wire cutters and pliers. These are flat nose. These are chain nose. Both can be used, but you don't need both. We use a rubber hammer, a rubber mallet, or a hammer to harden the wire. We usually put it on a wood block and hit with the hammer. It makes it flatten out nice and even, and hardens the wire. It's kind of fun to do that. If you're traveling or don't have a place that you can hammer your wire, the needle nose pliers or the flat nose pliers will work. Not as well, but they work. You just smash the wire together with that. You're also going to need a tape measure to determine how big of a bracelet that you're going to need. That should be all the supplies that you need for this project."
