Today we're going to talk about different ways that you can make accents to any bracelet or necklace. Today we're going to talk about a triangle. You're going to start with a piece of wire. Not a very long one, but long enough that you're going to be twisting it several times. Take your pliers and grab the wire at the very end. Making that circular shape that you're used to making, twisting your wrist. This is what you want to start off with. After you keep twisting it in the opposite direction and then back again, you're going to eventually come out with this piece. I've already made one line. I'm twisting to the next. Each time, you're going to make something that kind of looks like sunglasses because you twist in one direction and then you twist in the exact opposite direction, and it kind of makes it look like sunglasses. When you're finished, as you keep twisting, you're going to get a shape that looks like this. Every time you twist it around, you’ll make that straight edge just to make a wonderfully shape triangle. That makes a great accent to any piece of jewelry.
