Wire Ear Cuff Finding Jewelry Making Project Peg Pattern

Step 1:  Cut a piece of 16 or 18 gauge wire 6 inches long. 

Step 2:  Make a loop in the end of the wire with the flush cut.

Step 3:  Hold the wire by the loop and straighten the wire by pulling it repeatedly through the jaws of your nylon jaw pliers.

Step 4:  Position pegs 1 through 6 in your jig as shown above-right.  Pegs 1, 3, 4, and 5 are regular metal pegs for your jig.  Pegs 2 and 6 are Super Pegs for your WigJig Centaur (shown) or WigJig Cyclops or Electra.  If you have two 1/2" Super Pegs use both as pegs 2 and 6.  If you only have one 1/2" Super Peg, use it for peg 6 and use a 7/16" Super Peg for peg 2.  (Peg 6 is at the bottom of the ear.)  The pattern shown here is for a normal sized ear.... Actually it is for my ear and at 6'3" Wire Ear Cuff Finding Jewelry Making Project Step 5tall, my ear is normal to me, but probably larger than most peoples ear.  You may find that you want to move pegs 1, 2, and 6 closer together by one peg hole each.  When you have your pegs in position, place  your initial loop on peg 1 and wrap the wire around the remaining pegs as shown. 

Step 5:  Remove your wire from the jig.  At this point it should appear as shown at left.  Position this wire over one of your ears and determine where to make a loop in the end of the wire so that the loop would rest approximately where the hole in a pierced ear would be on your ear. 

Step 6:  Using your round nose pliers make the final loop in the wire.
