Ear Wire Tutorial - Something Sublime I have a passion for beautiful earrings. I love to wear them and I love to make them. Because I also crave variety, I've learned to make my own ear wires. I never buy ear wires for my handmade earrings and I don't think you should either. First, a quick lesson in measuring wire gauge. Insert your wire into the slot that corresponds with the size wire you think you have. Step 1: Measure the wire and trim each end so it's flush...nice and flat. Step 2: Lay your wire against a ruler (oscillating dinosaurs optional) and cut it to 2 1/2 inches, again, making sure the cutters are facing the proper direction for you to get another flat end on the piece of wire you'll be using. Use the length of wire you just cut as a measure for cutting your second length. Make sure you're getting those ends flush cut. Step 3: Use a nice chasing hammer to gently pound the very end of your cut wires. Give the wire a firm, but gentle, twist, turning your wrist forward. Yes!

Il est donc important de choisir son fil à bijoux avec soin. Voici donc Les 8 types de fils que j’utilise pour faire des bijoux Le fil câblé J’aime ce fil car il est très résistant, existe dans de nombreux coloris, permet un enfilage de perles très rapide.

Noter que ce fil se trouve en gris neutre, couleurs diverses, argent, or, plaqué argent et plaqué or. Le fil de pêche J’ aime car ce fil est résistant. On termine un bijoux avec le fil de pêche par un noeud carré ou par une perle cache- noeud. Vous pourrez voir certains colliers finis avec des perles à écraser. Rubans et cordelettes
