Last night I managed to have a dream in which the solution to securing the ends of the bangle was revealed, and not a soldering iron nor a hammer in sight. I'm not sure how I came to be dreaming about this, I haven't even thought about it in days. Perhaps it was due to eating chocolates late at night I don't know, but I tried it out today and the results are quite pleasing.
I reworked the first bangle and unfortunately, cut the wire a little too short which meant it ended up with a fastener.
The next bangle demonstrates exactly what I saw in my dream which was to loop both ends of the wire and connect the loops with a jump ring which had a charm dangling from it.
Toodle pip.
