Assembly Instructions (Continued):

Step 3.  Position the loop in the 20G wire on the bottom peg in the cross as shown at left (peg 1).  Please note that the loop is placed on the top peg so that the wire tail passes between the first and second pegs. 

Step 4.  Wrap the wire through the center of the cross so that the wire tail is horizontal.

Step 5.  Remove the end peg on the right (peg 5) and bend the wire past this peg.  Replace the end peg.  At this point the wire should look exactly as shown at left.

Step 6.  Wrap the wire up and around peg 5 then down and between peg 5 and peg 4. 

Step 7.  Continue wrapping the wire, back through the center of the cross toward peg 6.

Step 8.  Wrap the upper limb of the cross the same as the left hand limb of the cross that you just completed leaving a loop around peg 7. 

Step 9.  Wrap the right hand limb of the cross in the same manner, leaving a loop around peg 9.

Step 10.  Bring the wire down to the bottom limb of the cross and finish that limb by bringing the wire between the peg 2 and peg 1, ending by making a loop around peg 1, the starting peg.  At this point the cross should look as shown at left.

Continue to page 3 for the remainder of the instructions.

This WigJig jewelry making project is provided as part of WigJig University - College of Jewelry Making Designs.  We try to provide interesting jewelry making projects using beads, jewelry wire and other jewelry supplies.  We hope that these pictures will provide you enough information for you to complete this project.  Some of the skills and jewelry making techniques used have not been fully discussed here.  For beginners, we suggest that you start with a visit to our Beginners Jewelry Making pages. These pages discuss the skills necessary for making jewelry in the detail that beginners need. We also suggest that beginners to jewelry making might need to visit the WigJig University College of Jewelry Making Techniques for additional information about some of the skills and techniques shown. 

 Most, but not all of the jewelry supplies shown here can be purchased in our WigJig store.  We try to have a complete selection of jewelry supplies in our store including chain, wire, glass beads, findings, watches, tools, etc. 

The jewelry making projects shown here do not use Sterling Silver.  The reason for this is simple, it is harder to get good pictures of Sterling Silver wire components than with colored wire including gold-filled, copper, or brass wire.  Any project shown in colored wire can be made in Sterling Silver wire.
