Senior Arts - Memory Wire Bracelet

TUE, JUN 3, 1:00 – 3:00 pm

$20, materials and tools provided

Memory wire holds its shape, similar to a Slinky. Sliding beads on is easy and the finished product looks like a stack of bracelets. They are great for children to play with or to go with an outfit. They can be fancy or simple, with or without added charm(s). You will learn to use pliers to curl the ends to keep the beads from falling off! No skills needed. The challenge will be in selecting from a fine assortment of beautiful beads, but jewelry artist Bobbe Kelley will be there to provide assistance! 

Presented in partnership with South County Senior Center on Active Aging.
