DIY Heart Clasp Wire Wrapped Bangle Bracelet

02/08/2019 by Adrianne Surian 78 Comments

I love it when a project comes together just how I want it to.  I’m so excited to share this one with you today – as I was doing some wire wrapping for another design, I had an idea.  And 10 minutes later, I had this sweet heart-clasp wire bangle!  It requires basic wire wrapping and shaping, but the great news is, wire jewelry is really inexpensive to make.  So with one coil of wire, you can make up several bangles (hello, handmade stocking stuffers)!  I’m hoping you enjoy this wire bangle tutorial as much as I enjoyed designing it.

Supplies needed to make this wire wrapped bangle are pretty minimal – especially if you already have tools!  If you still need to shop for any of these supplies, I’ll leave links to Amazon below for you.  These are affiliate links, which means if you decide to click through and make a purchase, it supports my blog at no extra cost to you (and thank you, by the way).  You can of course shop wherever you like, though – these links are strictly meant to be a convenience for you!

  • 18-Gauge Silver Plated Copper Wire
  • Nylon jaw jewelry pliers
  • Round nose jewelry pliers
  • Wire cutters

First, cut a length of wire about 20 inches.  At the center point, fold it in half.  You’ll need to use your pliers to cinch it together tightly – so that the hook fits inside the heart clasp.  Then, bend the very tip over to create that hook.  I did need to adjust the hook size after the picture you see here, so you really don’t need a large hook at all.

Next, I curved my bracelet and used my wrist as my guide for how large to make it, but it would probably be easier if you leave the wire flat for the moment, measure down 7.25 inches, and begin forming your heart clasp.  (Really, it’s up to you – I just want to point out that it doesn’t *have* t be curved yet when you begin this next step, and you may find shaping it easier when the whole piece is finished.)

To form the clasp, take a look at the photos below.  Using your round pliers, make a few strategic bends in the wire, to form a heart.

Now, take the longer, unformed wire, and wrap it around the base of the heart, wrapping the two “stems” from the heart clasp together.  You can see in the photo below there’s a bit of wire sticking out.  Trim off the excess wire from the wrap, and the excess from the bottom.

Re-shape the wire to round it out, and that’s it!  I couldn’t resist tying it on.  It’s so cute, and would look lovely stacked with some other wire or woven bracelets.

You can make several bangles with just one coil of wire, making this a REALLY inexpensive project, even if you have to invest in tools to get started.  I can’t wait to try a few other shapes for the clasp!  But if you want to purchase gorgeous and classy bracelets, you can head over to braceletworld.co. You’ll have a ton of choices there that would be perfect wear for the Christmas season. A sweet little star would make for a really pretty Christmas accessory… so be warned, you may see another one coming up. ;)

    Hi! And thank you for excepting me as a group member.
    I’m rather new at this jewlery making. So I guess you can call me a newbie. I found your wire wrap for the small blue stone here, and wanted to know if you have any other project along the same leavel,. For a newbie. I have a beautiful cat eye pendant that I’d love to wrap. I want to give it as a gift. So I have to finish it properly so it dosent get caught in the neckline of any shirts or blouses. Thanks for your help.

    Try twisting, then hammering, for a braided variation.
    You may want to add an extra inch or so in initial wire length.

    Just found you! Great project! How do you get your wire so smoothly round? mine is ‘wavy’. Your heart is perfect. That’s harder than it looks!

      Hmm, I guess I’m not sure! If you find that your wires aren’t quite straight, you can always use a pair of nylon pliers to help straighten them. Just grip the wire with the pliers, and run them along the wire until it’s straight again. That has helped me in some projects.

        I had a hard time with my wire, i couldn’t get it to stay nice and straight and I had a hard time twisting the wire around the base of the heart. Have you ever used a wire straightener?

    Hi, Adrianne.
    I’ve checked out quite a few of your projects lately. I must say…love, love, LOVE them!
    And this cute little wire heart bracelet is really adorable.
    I think I’ll give it try…and I’m thinking I could even add a little red bead (stationary or dangle) just to add my own little twist to your lovely design.
    Looking forward to even more of your inspiring projects!

    I’m a beginning jewelry maker . I love this bracelet and thought it would be one to start on. You said that you hammered it. How do you do that? Do you just pound it with a regular hammer? Thank you so much.

      05/21/2015 at 7:11 pm

      While the bracelet is flat, I use a chasing hammer (like this one http://amzn.to/1c8c2Be). The flat end of the chasing hammer will flatten the wire without marring the finish or texturizing it. You can use any kind of hammer, really, but any other type of hammer will mark up the wire. It can give you a really cool effect – or it can totally wreck the look you’re going for, but be prepared that any other type of hammer WILL change the final look.

    Thanks for posting this! I have made jewelry forever! All kinds of jewelry and guess what I never would have thought about making? Yes, this really great bracelet! It’s perfect in its simplicity and I am glad that I read through the comments section, I was wondering about hammering it since I am using sterling silver. Now I know! So THANK again, so many people are going to love this.

    I love the heart shaped bracelet too- I want to try this as well.. Was that easy?? Does it bend around the wrist easily to form the bracelet?? I want to try it but I wasn’t sure about the part where you said if you did another one, you would hammer it to make it hard?? Is that before forming the bracelet??

    Thanks!

      12/01/2014 at 8:31 pm

      It does bend pretty easily, and I just hammered another design today. I hammered it after forming the design, but before bending it. It did strengthen it up quite a bit.

      As far as easy… it’s so hard for me to say! It’s easy to me, but I do wire wrapping… The great thing about wire is that it’s cheap – so you can practice for pennies. I’d love to hear how it goes for you if you try it!

    Adrianne – Love the bracelet and might even make a couple tonight! However, what are using the nylon pliers for? Did I miss something? And how would you harden the wire so it doesn’t lose its shape?

    Reply
    • Adrianne

      11/18/2014 at 3:15 pm

      Hi Karin – ha, this is what happens when I write while tired! When I’m shaping wire, I always use nylon pliers so as not to mar the wire everywhere possible. I used it to straighten the wire and for creating the hook.

      I did not harden mine, but the doubled wire is much more sturdy than one wire. I think if I make more, I’ll probably form them flat, hammer them to harden them, and THEN curve them.

        Hi Adrienne, I just came across this on Pinterest and signed up for your email write away. I am crazy, but have never done jewelry before. I will start now. Have you thought of taping the steps for our jewelry virgins? I think I understand making this bracelet and I’m definitely buying the materials to try it but a video would be so helpful. Just a thought.

        Cheers!

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
