Sometimes transferring what is a common wire wrapped ring design and adapt it for a bangle is the way to go! This easy wire wrapped crystal bangle is made rather like the ring version except that there are a few crystals around the larger bangle. The tutorial is by Emily Kaniasty over on the Art and Soul Beads blog.
Notice that she flared out the wires underneath each crystal for better support. I think making and wearing more than one of these is just the ticket. It doesn't have to be crystals either. But hey, we all love the bling factor, right?
I also liked her nifty way of determining the bangle size she wanted using her own bangles and a glass.
