Making Wire Letters with the WigJig Jewelry Making Tools:  1  2  3  4

The peg patterns for making letters are rather straightforward.  Remember to use the diagonal axis of the jig and use a 5x5 matrix of holes as the basis for your letters. This will allow you to make consistently shaped letters exactly 1 inch tall.  Use a 5/8" Super Peg for large rounded letters like the O, Q, and G and use 5/16" Super Pegs for letters like a B, R and S that require a rounded shape that is 1/2 of the height of the letter.  Finally you can use either 3/16" Super Pegs for letters like W or M, or you can use regular metal pegs to allow you to make a rounded W or an angular W. 

For those wire workers who want a little help in developing the patterns for letters and need step-by-step instructions on how to make each letter, we have an online book that provides these instructions.  You can view this online book here

The following web page will provide samples of these letters made using the instructions from the online book.
