You Will Need (2 things)

  • Jewelry Pliers
  • Jewelry Wire

Steps (6 steps, 300 minutes)

  1. 1

    Using jewelry pliers, take the end of your wire and create a closed loop.

  2. 2

    Using the edge of your pliers, turn/ bend the wire tightly against the loop all the way around the circle, repeating this until you have the size coil you want. :)

  3. 3

    Turn the remaining wire upwards from the coil to form a start for a loop, so you can connect jump rings to it.

  4. 4

    Trim off the excess wire with wire cutters/jewelry pliers, leaving about 1cm of free wire.

  5. 5

    Once again, make a loop with the remaining wire.

  6. 6

    Now you can attatch jump rings and add coils to necklaces, bracelets, keychains, earrings, and more! :D
