Oval Jewelry Wire Ear Wire Findings Jewelry Making Project

These ear wires are rather unique and very easy to make.  For that reason, this is an excellent beginners jewelry making project.  The ear wires are made with a 3/4" Super Peg or a Spiral Maker for one of our WigJig tools and one regular metal peg.
