Variation on Trumpet Bangle from the Step by Step Wire Jewelry Winter 2010 issue
by Beth Helberg

To make a bow instead of holly, pick up seven 4mm crystals on a 4’ length of wire, make a loop at the center, and twist twice to secure. Repeat, making a second loop as closely as possible to the first loop. Secure the wire as for the holly leaf.

On the longer end, pick up a 6mm crystal, and secure around the bow loops to look like a “knot.” Position the wire ends like the bow tails, and pick up five or more crystals depending on the length of tail desired. Secure the wire ends around the Viking knit in the desired position, and clip close to the work.
