About

Apply the skills you already have for cutting and soldering metal to making bangle bracelets out of heavy-gauge copper wire. You’ll learn how to use bracelet mandrels to shape the wire into round or oval bangles. You can leave some of your bangles plain, and add a wavy pattern to others using a bangle die in the hydraulic press.
