How to Flatten Wire in a Gothic Bracelet

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Robin with trees-mom.com. We are making a video for Expert Village today. We have a Gothic bracelet that we have crocheted out of wire. We've attached our skulls, we have our dangle, we've added some other little seed beads in the bracelet design, and now we're going to do a border. We're going to do a border with the same seed beads with the silver center. The way that we do this is just attach them to a wire. We're going to put about 5 at a time on the wire. I'm going to take across the top of the bracelet. Then weave the wire from the back to the front, and then we're going to pull it to the back again. It adds nice little border. I'm going to bring the wire to the front through a stitch that is about halfway through the last border that we did. Add 5 more beads. These beads are going to overlap on their border. It's going to go down into the bracelet a little bit more. Bring the wire towards the back and bring it out through the front about halfway through the border again. We're adding 5 more beads. This way you're going to go all the way across the top. You can choose to do it just across the top or all the way around. This wire is gotten to the end, so I'm just going to weave it in and out through the bracelet, hide it among the stitches, and make sure that the end is folded over and finished so that you don't get poked. That's the beginning of our border."
