WigJig Newsletter for December 14, 2003

If you are unable to view all the pictures you can always view the entire newsletter at:  http://www.wigjig.com/newitems/

Christmas Shipping:
Starting immediately and through New Years, we will ship all the orders that we can via UPS.  During this busy season, the US Post Office delivery schedule becomes uncertain.  We will only ship orders via the Post Office to P.O. boxes.  This will not change the fact that we charge $7.95 for shipping and handling of US orders less than $60 and shipping for US orders over $60 will continue to be free.  For last minute shippers, we will upgrade your shipping to UPS Two Day for an additional $9.  Please send us an e-mail after you place your order if you need upgraded shipping.

New Store:
Please send us an e-mail at custsrv@wigjig.com if you have any problems with our "New Store".  If you use IE 4.x, Netscape 4.7 or Earthlink's Opera web browser software you should plan on using our "Old Store" as these web browsers are not compatible with our new store.  We provide a web page that will allow you to chose the store that provides you the best shopping experience.  If you have problems placing an order, please call us at 800-579-WIRE or send us an e-mail with your telephone number and we will be happy to call you to take your order. 

ON SALE:
We update the items we have "On Sale" with every newsletter.  A small sample of the products we currently have for sale at a discount are shown below.  Please click on any of the text below the pictures to view our entire list of sale items.  Quantities are limited for these items so please shop early.  This sale will be effective through December 19th, 2003.

FREE JEWELRY MAKING DESIGN:
With every newsletter we provide a free design from WigJig University to spur the creative juices.  This newsletter's free design is the design for the Queen of Clubs earrings as shown at right. This component can be made on any WigJig and only requires three regular, metal pegs.  You can view instructions for how to make this bracelet and earring set here.  These earrings are simple, elegant, and easy to make.  They are called the Queen of Clubs earrings because the three loops at the bottom resemble the card suit clubs.  They are the "Queen" of clubs because we believe that the Prince and King will not look good in this style of earrings.

Techniques:
We maintain a techniques web page that provides links to the discussion of techniques in our prior newsletters.  You can visit this web page here.  Follow the links on that page to the discussion of the technique in that newsletter.  You will need to scroll down to view the techniques section. 

Technique:
The technique for this  week is the design for the Christmas Tree shown at right.  This design can be made relatively large as an ornament, or can be made smaller with colorful wire as the body for Christmas earrings.  The design can be made on any WigJig using the Spiral Maker associated with that jig.  We first displayed this design in July.  We are repeating it here because it is so appropriate during this season.  Instructions for this design can be found here

We have other seasonal designs in our Holiday Designs section of WigJig University.  You can visit these two pages of designs at the following locations:

Holiday Page 1

Holiday Page 2

Seasons Greetings from the folks at WigJig.  We hope that you will find one of these designs that will brighten your holiday season.

This WigJig jewelry making newsletter is provided as part of WigJig University.  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 making 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 jewelry making might need to visit the WigJig University College of Jewelry Making 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.
