I made this quick and easy bracelet with a few crystals, a wire jig and wire. Using a wire jig may seem intimidating at first but it's easy to catch on and the shapes are endless. You can also shape wire using your pliers pretty easily. Your choice! I called this project Sparkle Bracelet based on a fun picture I took of my pup, Sparkle in a field of purple flowers.

Instructions
Step 1
Create six purple wire links using a jig. Set up the jig using 3 small pegs and a large peg as shown in image #1.

Step 2
Cut six pieces of 7" wire and starting at peg 1 (the peg to the bottom left), wrap wire around peg 1 as shown in the picture with the working wire heading up towards peg 2.

Step 8
Cut the wire edges with a flush cutter. Use your fingers or round nose pliers to tuck the edges in so all wire circles are completely closed and there are no gaps.
Pro Tip: You can also work harden the links using an anvil and hammer. Since this bracelet is very light, I didn't need to work harden the links.

Step 9
Cut four pieces of green wire 2" long and three pieces of purple wire 2" long. Make four connectors by adding a simple loop on each end of the green wire and round crystals. Make three connectors by adding a simple loop on each end of the purple wire and bicone crystals.

Step 10
Create 8 crystal links. Attach each link to a connector alternating the size crystal. Finish off by attaching a lobster clasp to one end of the bracelet using a jump ring and add a jump ring to the other end of the bracelet.
