Description

Make stunning necklaces, earrings, accessories, etc using Flower (also known as Clover) technique. The main tool needed is a Wire Jig, be warned this technique is addictive

Instructions

    Repeat previous step till the 3rd and 4th loops have been formed.

  5. The technique is now complete, take the wire off the jig, trim excess wire. Use the round nose pliers to adjust all the loops formed on the jig, this will ensure that the loops are even and properly closed.
