Another swirly wire jewelry by me! You'll love this one, check out the tutorial.
Firstly, measure your ring size in inches or cm. Hold the wire from one end (don't cut the wire from the bundle). Create the first small loop at that end by using the looping plier. Wind the wire around that loop only once to make the first small swirl of the first heart.
Bend the wire below the swirl to form the bottom of the heart. Now create another loop on the bent wire (this should be the outer loop of the swirl) and circle the wire towards the center to form the second swirl of the heart. There, first heart is done
When you're done making the first heart flip the heart around.
Use the looping plier to make a small loop, then circle the wire around the loop once.
Now bend the wire to form the bottom of the second heart. Before making the second swirl of the second heart you have to flip the whole wire again.
Now use the looping plier to make the outer loop of the swirl and circle the wire towards the center to form a swirl.
Continue to make more hearts till it reaches the required length, mine was 6cm.
Keep an inch extra and cut the wire from the bundle. Wrap the heart chain around the mandrel and insert the extra straight wire into the first loop of the first heart.
Pull the first heart near the last heart and insert the extra wire into the second loop of the last heart, wrap the extra wire around the back and cut it off (if the extra wire is left).
