DIY Wire Jewelry/Gifts

With just a piece of wire and a few basic tools, create your own simple wire jewelry in no time at all.  It easier than you think! In just 5 minutes, you can create chair markers, chic spiral bracelets and bouquet wraps. Make your own 5-minute wire bracelet. Materials:
* 16-gauge wire or thicker metal
* Hammer
* Steel block or other very hard surface
* Needle-nose pliers
* Wire cutters

Step 1: Cut a 12" piece of wire. Grab one end of the wire with your needle-nose pliers, begin curling it in a spiral.
Step 2: Once the spiral is as big as you'd like, use pliers to bend an angle into the wire to begin to shaping the bracelet part.
Step 3: Place wire onto your block and hammer flat to create a textured, finished look.
Step 4: Wrap wire around your wrist to sizing. Cut off excess, then use pliers to form a loop/hook on the end. Make sure not to close it all the way because hooking it into the spiral is how you'll fasten the bracelet onto your wrist
Step 5: Gently shape the bangle, wrap or bracelet into a circle or oval. If you happen to have bracelet bending pliers, those are great to use for this step.
