Description

Create a simple coil for jewelry such as necklaces, earrings, and charms!

Instructions

  1. Small pic 4489 1282842341

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

  2. Small pic 4491 1282842409

    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. :)

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

  4. Small pic 4502 1282842589

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

    Once again, make a loop with the remaining wire.

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