How to Use a Jig to Make a Wire Bracelet

Once you've learned to make your own jewelry jig for bending wire, the next step is to use it, and that's what you do when you make this wire bracelet using the jig. I call this an "A" bracelet since you make As and then connect them together. As with all first time wire projects, I recommend using copper wire. If you like how it looks, try silver, gold-filled, or colored wire.

You’ll need:

Your jig
18 - 20 gauge round wire
Jewelers' files
Wire cutters
Raw hide hammer
Round-nosed pliers
