    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Cut six feet of 20 gauge wire. Choose your gemstones.
    Initial Wrapping: Wrap the wire around a bracelet mandrel or wine bottle base four times to create the bracelet's framework.
    Adding Gemstones: Slide the first gemstone onto the wire, adjusting for placement and securing it by wrapping the wire around the bracelet framework.
    Continue Adding Stones: Repeat the process for additional stones, ensuring even spacing and secure attachment by wrapping the wire around the framework.
    Finishing Touches: Once all stones are added, wrap the remaining wire around the bracelet's ends to secure and trim any excess wire.
