Step 1: The first step in making these ear wires
is to place six 4mm beads followed by six round metal beads 2 or 2.5mm
onto six headpins.
Step 2: Wrap one headpin with beads onto each of the three holes at the bottom of the two ear drops. Step 3: Connect the drops to your ear wire. If you will make your own ear wire follow the steps below. |

Step 4: Position three metal pegs and one Super Peg on a WigJig Cyclops as shown as right. Use a 1/4" Super Peg if you only have 1/2 hard wire. Use 5/16" if you have soft wire. Step by step pictures of the steps used are found here. Step 5: Grasp 3-1/2 inches of straight 20G wire with chain nose or bent chain nose pliers about 3/4" from the end. Bend the wire to make an 85% angle.
Step 6: Grasp the wire at the bend using your
round nose pliers and make a 1/2 of a loop in the wire.
Reposition the wire in the grip of the round nose pliers to complete the
loop. |
