Wire wrapping just got simpler with multi-sized looping pliers With six different diameters, you can form your own earwires without having to change tools. Custom figure eight links, S hook clasps, bails for pendants that are a difficult fit and jump rings in a multitude of sizes are easy to make of any kind of wire. Here we have some examples in sterling. Do experiment with craft wire first Once you have a pair of these and some wire on hand, there will be no late night frustration of not having just the thing to finish your latest creation
The length of wire to use will be determined by the size earwire you plan to make. We suggest experimenting with craft wire first.
Grip the end of the wire with the smallest diameter barrel on the multi-sized looping pliers and bend it around to form a small loop. Remove the wire from the pliers.
To create a kidney-shaped earwire we cut 4 1/2 inches of sterling wire. Grip the wire about 2 inches down with the largest barrel on the pliers and bend both sides of wire downward.
To create coils and jump rings, simply bend the wire around the appropriately sized diameter barrel for your desired size. Remove coil from the pliers.
To create an S-shaped link or clasp, simply bend both ends of wire in opposing directions. Create slight bends at each end for a more decorative look.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
