How to use LOS (Liver Of Sulfur): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNGAf5xmzty1kXk.html
In this video I show you a very cool bracelet that works for both men and women. I am using 18 gauge bare copper wire in the video but you could use colored craft wire, sterling silver, etc. Add bead links to totally change it up. For a man, 16 & 14 gauge are a nice weight. You are going to love the ideas you are going to come up with...love love this project.
Tools & Materials
Pliers: Round, Chain & Flat Nose
Cutters: Full Flush
Ruler
LOS (Liver of Sulfur)
Superfine Steel Wool
18-14 gauge soft wire (I used bare copper)

I just started playing around with wire wrapping today... I'm serious, I picked this up for the first time today. Even a clumsy newbie like me could successfully make this bracelet for my little girl. She loves it, and I love this video! Thanks for making it so easy to follow. I'll be watching more of your videos for sure!

I'm fairly new to this craft (3 months). I was searching for a men's bracelet to make as a gift for my cousin-in-law and this is PERFECT for my skill level! 👍 I was actually looking for something with Egyptian cross symbols (the ankh) or Egyptian style but had no luck finding anything masculine (or in my skill level) but if I can figure out how to make a symbol/hook, it will be TWICE PERFECT! Thank you so much for this tutorial. I can hardly wait to see how mine turns out! 🙂
