Swarovski Pearl Beads and WigJig Bracelet Pg 03 Made Using WigJig Jewelry Making Tools and Supplies

In order to ensure that the piece is fully closed and as strong as possible, we will wrap 24G wire around the center of the piece (again, 1/2 hard wire is preferred). The first step in performing this wrap is to open the two small loops made on the regular pegs on your jig (shown at left). With these loops open, begin to wrap the wire around the middle of the piece as shown at right. With every 1/2 wrap, squeeze the bend in the wire on either side of the bend with your chain nose, or bent chain nose pliers as shown below left.
