Hello again
Here are some of many copper bracelets i made in the winter on my sailboat.
There are all made out of scrap wires . For the ends i used solder and brass tubing.
Some wires are solid some are stranded. They are differend in size and some
are tin coated for marine use ( Corrosion ).I stripped of the insulation .
The colours was made by puting the bracelets in a toaster oven and heat them.
These bracelets only cost pennys to make and are fun to make on cold days.
Please Recycle :)

bracelet from start to finish.
Thank you for your comment
The ring was made using a slice from 3/4 " copper pipe i had and a small shark tooth inserted with a dremel tool and some epoxy.
I will post a real instructable later
Glad you like em.
Thank you
I only type with one finger so i will add some instruction at a later time .
( I can type about 8 words a minute or so ;)
I have checked etsy but you have to have a account to sell and i do not have one.
Thank you
Thank you
I agree with The Ideanator you would have no problem at all finding a market for them, if you don't want to sell them yourself you could always go through a trusted third party, I know for sure that if you had turned up at any of the charity bashes my bike club organized a couple of years back you would have sold out in no time flat.
I look forward as will so many others to an 'ible about them :-)
I will type some instructions on the bracelets later. I would love to sell them but i am not a sales person at all and thats why i just store what ever i make.
Like you say ,i need a trusted third party to sell.
But i will post how to make them soon.
Thank you
The hinge was installed because the bracelet was to heavy to wear as a bangle. ( over 8 ounces ). You can buy these in any hardware store in sets of 3 or 4 for about $ 2.00 or less. Look in cabinet hard ware and snaps.
They're made of brass and solder easy to the copper.
This is like something you would find on a cigar box to close.Has 2 parts and one is hinged.
I hope this helps you. I can also post a better photo if needed.
Thank you
