How to Use a Wire Jig for Jewelry Making

Wire jigs are good because it gives you a consistent shape for your pattern. To make jewelry findings: 1.Yoke pattern: Take your jewelry wire and wrap it against your first peg of the arrow shape. Keep the wire down with your pliers so it doesn't slip off. Wrap around the second loop and so on all the way to the last (fifth loop) and remove from the jig. This piece can be used to attach a pendant and chains as shown. 2.Heart-Using the top big pegs and wrapping the wire to a point below. 3.Line of loops- wrapping the wire around pegs in a row and make loops at either end. 4.Snake pattern-zigzagging your wire back and forth with loops at each end. These jewelry findings can be used in a wide variety of ways as focal pieces or accents for closure and clasps. Once you get familiar with using the jig in different patterns, you can use the wire jig to create your own designs!
