First attempt on crochet wire

Last week I've stumbled upon some craft copper wires in a sewing shop. I bought some electric blue colour copper wire just to try the wire crochet which I wanted to try recently. I tried to make a bracelet using the wire + bugle beads with a simply pattern that I just made it up myself. So here's the outcome:

I've used the crochet with beads technique that I've used with my yarn  bracelet. Didn't really know how to end the wire so I just twisted it into clumps to make a ball for the fastener. I think I need more practice to make the loop more nicer =)

    Wow! Nice. Was it painful to handle the wires? or are they soft? Great work!

    Thanks Aisyah!
    Not really painful as the copper wire were soft. I bet if the wire are hard then it will be painful =P
    The difference between yarn is when you pull it into the loop, it's not easy to pull it out =)

    Hi, MisFyd.

    Saya ada nampak buku mengajar crochet wire accessories dan juga knitting wire accesories. Cara mengajarnya memang mudah difahami. Rasa nak beli tapi macam sakit pula pegang wayar dan belum bersedia lagi untuk belajar. Sakit tak masa buat bracelet ni? Bracelet ni sungguh cantik dan professional.Dawai jenis apa yang sesuai digunakan untuk buat ni ya? Waahh.. memang saya sungguh kagum dengan hasil Misfyd :)Semuanya kemas dan teliti.

    Hi SweetKnitt =) Thanks!

    Tk sakit pun masa buat crochet wire nih sbb pakai copper wire agak lembut jugak. Yg mula2 Fyd takut rosak (calar etc) if pakai jarum kait aluminium yg mahal. So hujung2 Fyd pakai jarum kait steel yg biasa. If SweetKnitt pandai crochet, rasa yer senang je nk bat crochet wire nih. Cuba la nanti ;)
