Hi,

    Loren weaves bracelets on a jig made on a piece of PVC and they come
    off then he can shape them. I have seen him shape a bracelet to
    shape using a plastic spoon (it was not woven on a circular jig, but
    the spoon created the curve around the wrist and a slight dome shape
    on the bracelet. I would imagine you can slip it on your bracelet
    mandrel (one side then the other so it doesn't slope. Also. If you
    are going to do this type of thing pretty frequently, there is a
    stepped bracelet mandrel you might even be able to weave on. You
    probably can shape it with your hands to the shape you want.
