Step One:
Set up coiling gizmo according to instructions
in package. We will only be using the smaller Mandrel on
this project.
Step Two:
Anchor the 20g wire to the smaller Mandrel.
Step Three:
Wind the wire around the Mandrel until
you have 4” of coiled wire.
Step Four:
Remove the 4” of coiled wire from the Mandrel and trim off any
excess wire ends. Both ends should appear as they do in the photo to the left.
Step Five:
Anchor the 18g wire to the Mandrel and wind 6 times around
and slide on 4”coil.
Step Six:
Continue to wind the 4” coil onto the Mandrel until you have
six turns of copper wire left.
Step Seven:
Glide the twisted coil off the Mandrel and trim
excess wire. Open the coil up by winding counter
clockwise.
Step Eight:
Slide one side of the coil end onto the 14g wire, place the bead in the
center of coil and thread the 14g wire through the ball and out the other end
of the coil.
Step Nine:
Play with the coil around the bead until you achieve the desired
look and make a loop on each end.
Step Ten:
Open the loop gently to the side and add a charm on one side
and the key ring with swivel on the other side.
