Winter Sunset Boho Bracelet

What a satisfying project! Easy and quick you can whip these up in minutes. I used six 5/8" and six ½" washers but any size will due. Copper washers are the easiest to texture but you could also make this bracelet without any texture if desired. The finished length on this bracelet is 8.5" which can be shortened or lengthened by adding or subtracting washers.

Step 2
Repeat Step 1 for the other end of the wire, wrapping it in the opposite direction to form a figure-8 link. Try to close up all gaps when creating these links. You may have to tweak a few wire edges to fit perfectly.

Step 3
I stacked two different size washers for each link. Using a texture hammer and anvil, hammer the front of each washer until you are pleased with the texture. Patina each washer using liver of Sulphur or my cheater patina method: https://www.wirejewelry.com/jewelry_making_tips_techniques/Cheater-Patina_488.html
