Today's bead is a shiny red 8mm coral cube from Michael's. I've never bought a strand like this with such chunky cubes. I'll be you will never guess what my first thought was for using them.... :)Okay, for those who know me, you are correct!! I'm thinking memory wire!! It is so much fun to find beads that are striking enough and large enough to hold their own on a one strand memory wire bracelet.
The greatness of memory wire lies in the simplicity of using it. Cut a piece any length, make a 
loop on one end, string on beads and make a loop to finish the other end. These beads will be perfect for 1 strand. Now I just need to dig up a nice sized funky focal bead.
I have plenty of funky focal beads!! I just need to start digging!!

thank you very much for stopping by my blog and leaving behind such nice comments! i love coral with turquoise... or oranges... i guess i just love the color of coral!
Cubes are one of my favorite bead shapes. These are particularly wonderful in coral. Would be fun to replicate a strand like this in faux coral made of polymer clay!
I've been a fan of cube beads like forever. Yes, a memory wire bracelet would be perfect for them!!
I love coral beads. Those would be perfect for memory wire bracelet! :)
