Wrapped Link Wire and Beads Bracelet Jewelry Making Project Pg 02 Made with WigJig Jewelry Tools, Wire and Supplies

To make this bracelet you will need to make 6 wrapped bead links each 1/2 inch long.	Wrapped Link
Step 2	Step 1: Cut and straighten a piece of 20G wire 3.5 inches long. Step 2: Make a wrapped loop in one end of this wire. Wrap only one time around the wire as shown at left. The technique for making this loop is shown here.
Step 3: Position two pegs on a WigJig 1/2 inch apart. (For the Delphi, as shown at right, these pegs should be positioned on a diagonal with two empty pegs between them.) Now using your chain nose pliers, grasp the wire just below the second peg and bend the wire 80 degrees. See the picture at right for how the wire should look.	Step 3
Step 4	Step 4: Now remove the wire from the jig and make a wrapped loop using your round nose pliers where you just made this bend. Continue to wrap the wire tail. The picture at left shows this wrap partially completed. Continue to wrap until the wire segment in the middle is completely covered.
Step 5: Cut the wire tail and squeeze it flat using your chain nose pliers. The finished link should appear as shown at right.	Wrapped Bead Link
