Okay so I went back and drooled some more. I understand how the components are made, and I'm getting pretty good at wire-wrapping...but HOW does it all get put together into a bracelet. Can somebody please Please PLEASE explain that part to me, or send me to a website? I bet I could put one together while watching TV at night.

Karen: Here's how I did the 2 I've done.
I wired the large beads and connected them with 2 jumprings.
I then wired the dangles and charms to the jumprings so that you see the large beads and in between are the dangles.
The first one I've since taken apart and the second one I'm wearing now and don't have access to a scanner.
I'll email you a pic when I get home if ya want me to.

Basically you just get a length of chain that has loops big enough to attach your wrapped loops to, then you half-wrap all the loops to beads of your choice, then you add them to the chain and finish the wrapping. You attach as many as you want -- thin or thick amount of danglies. Add a clasp, and you're done! ~~ Sooz

And in between the chain bits, you wire the larger (lampwork) beads as a part of the strand. (Sorry, I wasn't awake yet) ~~ Sooz

Or, you can be REALLY A-R and just wirewrap everything into everything else and skip the chain part.... I actually like that better, because it looks less like a "charm bracelet" and more like something really difficult (even though it isn't!)
If I had a clue as to how to snip url (always sounds like painful procedure to me....) I'd show a few examples. If anyone is really curious, email me offline and I will send a few pics your way. I have a lovely, earthy necklace, and then a spring garden bracelet and an angels and flowers bracelet (that one was on fine chain).

mine is totally wire wrapped...i'm not a-r, i just like the way it looks and hangs on the wrist. I think the chain thing would drive me wild.

I use sturdy sterling silver chain to attach all the finished danglies to. Let's see if I have pics of my last bracelet from Valentine's Day..... Ah - here they are. You can see the chain pretty clearly:

And I am the opposite. All the wire wrapping is not as comfy on my wrist as the chain. Personal preference, I think. What I really don't like are those cha-cha wristbands people use for making charm bracelets. Those things pinch!
