The WigJig Component that we make for this bracelet is called a Wrapped Figure 8. This component can be made on any of our jigs as shown in these pictures. It is made with 18G soft wire. The peg pattern for this component uses two Super Pegs the same size in either 3/16" or 1/4" size and one regular metal peg. |

This component is made by making a loop in a piece of
18G wire about 3 inches long using your round nose pliers. This loop
gets cut off as we finish the piece. so it isn't important that it be a
closed loop. After straightening this piece of wire, place the initial loop over the regular metal peg (smaller peg shown in these pictures) on your jig. Wrap the wire around the two Super Pegs in turn. Remove from the jig and gently flatten with nylon jaw pliers or your fingers. |
