Floral Bracelet

In this Instructable, I will be showing you how to make a floral bracelet.
You will need:
Flowers
Copper wire (I used 18 gauge but it really doesn't matter)
Some wax
And for tools:
A lighter
Scissors (for cutting the flowers)
Wire cutters
And finally, a small knife (optional).

Measure out the copper wire so that it will wrap around your whole hand and then add about 2 inches

Go out and grab some flowers.

Push the copper wire through the back of the flower. You may need a to cut a starting hole depending upon how tough your flowers are and how sharp your copper is.

Continue doing this until you've covered your wire to the extent you want.

Those copper wires can be sharp after you've cut them, so rub a little wax on the ends. A quick blast of a lighter will help them stick, just try not to burn your flowers, unless you like that kind of look...

Wrap the bracelet around your wrist. Push in the sides so they touch your skin if it starts unwrapping, and then you've got yourself a nice, natural looking bracelet.
