Instructions for Earring:

  1. To make ear wires for the earrings, use Soft Flex® Professional Flush Cutters to cut about 2 inches of Artistic Wire from the spool. Use the narrow end of Soft Flex® Professional Round Nose Pliers to form a simple loop at one end of the wire. Move the pliers 1/2 an inch away from the simple loop. Using the wide end of the pliers, wrap the wire in the opposite direction as the simple loop. Repeat entire step to form a second ear wire.
  2. Use 2 inches of wire to form a wire wrapped loop that attaches to 1 ear wire. String one 6mm crystal and form a large wire wrapped loop (make the loop a little larger than usual to make room for attaching other connectors).
  3. Use 2 inches of wire to form a wire wrapped loop that attaches to the previous wrapped loop. String one 4mm crystal and form a wire wrapped loop. Use 2 inches of wire to form a wrapped loop that attaches to the previous wrapped loop. String one 4mm crystal and form a wire wrapped loop. Repeat entire step, to form a second set of links next to the first.
  4. Use 2 inches of wire to form a wire wrapped loop that attaches to the previous loop at the end of each set of links. String one 8mm crystal. Wrap the wire up and around the bead, forming a wire wrapped loop next to the one just formed.
  5. Repeat Steps 2-4 for the second earring.

Instructions for Bracelet:

  1. To make the Hook clasp, use Soft Flex® Professional Flush Cutters to cut a 4 inch piece of Artistic Wire from the spool.
  2. With your needle nose pliers, bend your wire in half so you now have two wires side by side. Use your pliers to pinch the top, leaving no space between the two wires. Use round nose pliers to grip the wires about 1/2 an inch from the bend. Wrap the wires around the pliers to form the hook.
  3. Use both tail ends of wire to form a wire wrapped loop. Set aside.
