Spiral Chandelier Beaded Earrings Jewelry Making Project with Crystal AB Beads Step 12Step 12.  Place the 1 1/2" wire segment into one of the holes on your Spiral Maker and position the 180 degree bend in the wire against the peg in the Spiral Maker.  See the picture at right for the correct position of the wire.  Now insert the peg in your Spiral Maker into one of the holes in your jig.  Turn the jig over, while holding the Spiral Maker tightly Step 13 to Spiral Chandelier Beaded Earrings Jewelry Making Designagainst the jig.  Looking through the jig wrap the wire around Step 13 for Spiral Chandelier Beaded Earrings Jewelry Making Designthe center of the Spiral Maker.  Move the wire is a series of small movements of about 30 degrees each.  Continue building your spiral until you have about 1 3/4 inches of wire left.  See the picture at right. 

Step 13.  Remove the wire from the Spiral Maker.  At this point your wire should appear as shown at Step 14 for Spiral Chandelier Earrings Jewelry Making Projectright.  Now we need to bend the beginning and ending wires on the spiral so that they become loops.  The Step 14A for Spiral Chandelier Earrings Jewelry Making Projectfollowing steps describe how we do that.   

Step 14:  Grasp the spiral in your bent chain nose pliers as shown at left.  Hold the spiral firmly so that it does not distort and bend the end wire up so that it is vertical and ultimately parallel with the beginning wire segment. 

Step 15:  Continue to hold the spiral in your bent chain nose pliers and bend the ending wire segment down flat against the spiral.  At this Step 15 to Spiral Chandelier Beaded Earrings Jewelry Making Designpoint the spiral should appear as shown below-right. 

Step 16:  Now we need to bend the vertical, initial wire segment straight down.  In the picture at right, this wire segment would end up pointing to the bottom of the page, on top of the ending wire segment, and as flat against the spiral as possible.
