How to cage a large bead using a metal bangle.
Wear as a charm on a bracelet or pendant on a necklace
You will need a large bead, metal bangle and needle nosed pliers.
You can also push coil in anti-clockwise direction to widen coil.
I like the metal bangles with patterns on them.
Get a tube the size of a large finger.
to shape the coil around.
Cut bangle to separate.
Wrap bangle on tube.
Push down with thumbs.
You will have a coil when finished.
With needlenosed pliers make a loop at both ends of the coil.
Take a big bead...
Use one of the loops to close the coil's end.
Close the other end by pressing the loop flat against the bottom of the bead.
Add your caged bead to a bangle or hang as a pendant from a necklace.
