Artistic Wire® Round Ear Wire Jig

Insert a piece of wire (20-24 gauge) 5 inches (12.7cm) in length through the hole in the findings form and bend the end (this helps to hold the wire firmly as you bend the wire around the pegs).

Wrap the wire around the large peg (clockwise) then slightly around the thin peg and up (clockwise) around the acrylic form.

Wrap the wire over and down the acrylic form then down the side of the triangle acrylic form then out to the right.

Use the Pusher tool on the small peg to tighten the intersection of the wire.

Cut the end of the wire as shown (it's advised to use a wire rounder on the end of the ear wire to smooth out the sharp edges left by the flush-cutter). Remove the ear wire and cut the ring so that it forms a complete circle.

If you desire a bead or other additional component, un-bend the end of the ear wire (opposite of the loop) and run the bead or other component onto the wire and re-bend into the desired shape.
