    Take some Kraft Caramels (Candy), make a rod out of them. Bend the
    rod to the shape you want, chill it, then weave around it. When you
    are finished, soak it in water, and the candy will dissolve, leaving
    you with a nice hollow weave. 

    or: 

    Take some casting wax that comes in Rods. ( Rio has many diameters )
    Warm it in hot water till it is soft and pliable, and shape it into
    the bracelet or shape you want, chill it, then weave around it. When
    you are finished, put it in boiling water, the wax will come to the
    top. It may need some additional cleaning with alcohol to remove the
    last of thewax. 

Love and God Bless
