Step 5:  Remove the wire from the Dowel and using your bent chain nose pliers, grasp the last loop you just made at the point opposite the beginning eye loop.  Bend the wire 90 degrees so that it points away from the center of the coil made on the dowel.  See the two views of the wire at right to see how the wire should appear at this point.

Step 6:  Using the thickness of the jaws of your bent chain nose pliers, grasp the wire at the point where you made the 90 degree bend in the wire in Step 5.  With one edge of your pliers touching the 90 degree bend, bend the wire against the other side of your pliers to make another 90 degree bend, but this time, down parallel to the axis of the coil of wire made on the dowel.  When completed, the wire should appear as shown at right.

This WigJig jewelry project is provided as part of WigJig University - College of Jewelry Designs.  We try to provide interesting jewelry projects using beads, jewelry wire and other jewelry supplies.  We hope that these pictures will provide you enough information for you to complete this project.  Some of the skills and jewelry techniques have not been discussed here.  For beginners, we suggest that you visit our Beginners Start Here pages. These pages discuss the skills necessary for making jewelry in the detail that beginners need. We also suggest that beginners to making jewelry might need to visit the WigJig University College of Jewelry Techniques for additional information about some of the skills and techniques shown. 

 Most, but not all of the jewelry supplies shown here can be purchased in our WigJig store.  We try to have a complete selection of jewelry supplies in our store including chain, wire, glass beads, findings, watches, tools, etc.
