Jewelry Making Tips For The Beginner
Jewelry making starts with the basics. Follow this tip for How to Open and Close a Jump Ring to make sure your jewelry projects are solid and secure. This also comes in handy when you want to repair your own jewelry.
To open or close a jump ring, its easiest to use two pairs of needle nose pliers. If you only have one pair, you can hold on side with your fingers.
If there is a gap, close it by moving the sides up and down pressing gently together. The ends should slightly overlap then snap together tightly so the tension of the metal will hold the gap closed.
When you open a jump ring (or any loop) twist it open rather than pulling it open so it will hold tight when re-closed.

How To Form A Wire Loop
This is one of the most important things to learn to do.Take some time to practice and you’ll be glad you did.
Bend the pin to form a right angle. Cut the pin approximately 1/4 inch beyond the bead. Use the
round end of your pliers to grasp the end of the pin and curve the pin by using a rolling motion to
fold it over a single round prong. You may need to release the pin and continue the rolling motion
again.Be sure to start rolling from the end of the pin. This will give you a good round loop and sturdy connection.
If you do not start rolling from the very end of the pin, you can end up with a flat loop that will not look
as good nor give the“movement” you want.
Use Loops or
wrapped loops
to make drops &
bead links.
