Mother's Day is coming up. What can we make that expresses never ending love for these special women in our lives? Infinity wire link bracelets AND a heart clasp! The clever combination idea and excellent tutorials are by Lisa Yang who shared them on her blog.
She divided her instructions in two parts - one for the infinity wire links and one for the wire heart clasp.
Lisa used a black marker pen to mark her round nose pliers in order to get consistent loops for her infinity wire links. But she does have a 3-step looping pliers to help her with the larger loops of the heart. Bail forming pliers are great for both these jobs! I have all 3 sizes from Wubbers.

Love the infinity link bracelet and the heart clasp tutorial is super as is Lisa's blog. I visited there and ended up also reading her tutorial on making copper ball headpins. (I'm easily distracted. lol)
ReplyDeleteGuess Lisa and I were struck by the same muse. About 3 weeks ago I created a chain necklace using modified hooks, figure 8 links and an assortment of different shaped, handmade links. It was fun making the chain and I'm really liking the "funkiness" of it. :D
