Here is where the instructions start to differ. The number of beads you wish to add and location of where you want them to be on the bracelet will determine the location of the rest of the wraps on the bangle. To keep things simple, I’m going to add my beads to the middle of this bracelet. However, you can get a different look by adding them in other places or adding more than one grouping of beads.
Once you’ve gotten to this point, you need to decided how much wire will be covered up by your beads. Do this by lining up the beads into the grouping you want. Ideally, you should do this on a bead board so that you can get a measurement without all the beads rolling around. For the piece I’m making, I have one 8mm and two 6mm clear Czech beads, two rondel gold-filled beads, and two small 2mm gold-filled beads. When I lined these up on my bead board, they measured about one inch. Add about 1/2 inch to the measurement of your beads. Since mine were 1 inch, I knew I would need about a 1 1/2 inch space in the middle of my bracelet for these beads.
Find the center of the bracelet and mark it with non-permanent marker. Now divide the measurement of the beads in half. (Mine was 3/4 inches.) Measure this amount from the middle towards the end that you’ve already wrapped. You will want to do your first wrap in this spot.
