Hi! I'm Robin with trees-mom.com. We are making a crotched wire bracelet for expertvillage.com. This is what we've gotten so far. Now that we've attached all the beads that we want to our bracelet, we're going to make sure there are no ends poking out and that all of the wire that we've just attached the beads with is smashed into the other wire. We do that with our needle nose pliers just like we did before. We just make sure that we go through the bracelet in between all the beads. Make sure we get close to the end of the button loop on the buttons to make sure that all the wire ends are meshed in with the rest of the wire. If you find that any wires are poking out like this one, all we're going to do is take our pliers and weave it in and out. When we get to the end of the wire, just fold it over and mash it with our pliers to make sure it doesn't stick out and poke you.
