Here is how I made my Lil' Pumpkin Patch Bracelet. I decided to make a memory wire bracelet type because it will fit most adult wrist. You can also make child's bracelet by using a smaller diameter memory wire.


Supplies:
Orange Beads (I used Czech Glass #6 -Make sure the hole for the bead is not too large or your seed bead will fall through)
Green Seed Beads
Wire (I used copper)
Memory Wire

Tools:
Heavy duty Cutters (for Memory Wire)
Cutters
Round Nose Pliers
Flat Nose Pliers (Optional)

Step 1Lil' Beaded Pumpkin

To make a lil' pumpkin, you will need the piece of wire, small orange bead, and a seed bead. First you want to make a spiral on one end of the wire so your beads will not fall off. I typically use a pair of flat nose and round nose pliers to create the spiral. If you want, you can use a headpin instead of the wire. Then put your beads on the wire with the larger bead first. Bend the wire back and then create a loop with your round nose pliers. Since I used a thinner wire, I wrapped the wire around to prevent the loop from opening up. Cut off any excess wire that you may have. Now you have a lil' pumpkin.
