3. Bangle-icious Memory Wire Bracelet
Designer SimpleBPatterns has only one warning: these bracelets are addictive! I love the idea of making dozens of these and stacking them in layers. They’re also a great way to use up the last of those spare beads you have. The bracelets shown here are created with one color at a time, but you also have the option of mixing several different colors on one bracelet.

The tutorial shows you how to work with two-holed beads, as well as how to modify the design to make it as subtle or dramatic as you’d like. Check out the photos on the pattern page for a neutral version that uses black beads.

5. Wire-Wrapped Button Ring eWorkshop
I love wire-wrapped button rings; they’re cute, colorful, and I almost always have the materials on-hand already! If you have a big stash of buttons, this is a great way to use them. This isn’t just a PDF tutorial, either; in addition to the PDF eBook, you’ll get a private video workshop where designer Kimberlie demonstrates the project. It’s perfect for beginners!
