Hi! I'm Robin with trees-mom.com. We are making a video for Expert Village. We are crocheting wire to make a Gothic bracelet today. This is the bracelet that we have been working on. We're going to make a dangle to add right by the clasp. This dangle is going to be one of the skulls. We have about a 7 inch piece of wire here. To make the dangle, we take it back 90 degrees, wrap it around the pliers, and then it's just going to wrap it around itself here at the bottom. Make it like 2 or 3 wraps. Then we're going to cut off the excess, and we have this little loop. I'm going to make sure that the end of the wire is all the way flatten down so that it's not going to poke anybody. Then we're going to change things up just a bit and put a red bead, a red faceted bead on the top, a skull, and a red faceted on the bottom. The whole thing is black and white except for this one dangle. When we get to the bottom, we're going to trim the wire so there's about an inch or inch and a half. We're going to curl it with these pliers. I make a loop and then just keep twirling it so that it goes around and around. It makes it a spiral, and that's going to be the end of our dangle. To attach the dangle, we add a split ring to it just like we did before, and attach it to the bracelet right by the clasp. This is the dangle.
