Hi! I'm Robin with trees-mom.com. We are making a video for Expert Village today. We're showing how to crochet a Gothic bracelet out of wire. This is what we've gotten so far. Now, we're going to finish the bracelet. What you do after you have all of your beads attached and the border going all the way across, you're going to turn it over to the back and you're going to see if there's any of the long pieces of wire that are going across the back. You want to make sure that all of your wire has a curve to it just to make it look nice on the back. It'll show through on the front if it's just a straight piece of wire. What I do is take my pliers and kind of twist it. Any wire that is just a straight line, I just twist it on the back here. At this point, you're also going to make sure that you go through the bracelet, rub your hand across it and make sure there's no wires poking out. There's one right there, so we're going to turn it under, and just fix it so that it isn't poking out anywhere. Now, when you're done with your bracelet, what you should do is to store it like this so that it'll keep its shape and be ready for the next time that you want to wear it. You don't want to have to take it out and have to reshape it every time that you want to wear. Just keep it all ready attached and sitting in a box, and it'll be ready for the next time you go to the club.
