Wire Formations
pg. 128
Materials
20 gauge (.812 mm) Copper Round Wire
Nails
Bench
Pliers
Hammer
Steps to Success
1. Draw your design and hammer the nails into your bench (or a block of wood)
2. Wrap the copper wire around the nails to form your desired pattern
3. Form loops at the ends of the wire in order to connect your pieces
4. Lather - rinse - repeat!
Well that was a simple technique to get back into the swing of things around here!
Please be sure to note the pattern sequence when wrapping your wire around the nails so that you can repeat - repeat - repeat! I am sure you will notice that I secured my loops in the middle by wrapping an additional piece of copper wire - this was due to the design I desired and is not a required step in this process. Once you have created your wire units - you can connect them with simple jump rings in order to create a beautiful bracelet or necklace!
I hope you enjoyed this one! See you next time!!
