Give this bracelet as a gift and put a smile on your girlfriends', sisters', aunts', grandmothers' and mother's face this holiday season. Rest assured, this fashion-forward, versatile, and meaningful DIY gift will not disappoint!  We found this adorable how-to guide on http://ispydiy.com.  Check them out for more DIY's!

Steps: 
1. First, at one end of the wire, make two rounded humps by wrapping the wire around the thick part of your round nose pliers 
2. Then squeeze the valley in between with the flat nose pliers to create the heart shape
3. Next, cross the short end of the wire across the longer side
4. Then wrap the shorter wire around the longer side two times and cut off the excess
5. Next wrap wire around a cup to create the rounded part, fit to the size of your wrist
6. To create the hook, bend the other end of the wire so it is doubled up for as least an inch
7. Bend again a half an inch down to create the hook 
8. Wrap the excess around the base of the bracelet 3 times and trim the excess
