    The document provides wire wrapping ideas and instructions for using a homemade wire wrapping jig. It includes illustrations of earring and connector designs that can be made using the jig. The designs use a single piece of copper wire wrapped around graph paper peg holes. Beads can be added to the designs by inserting them in loops of the wrapped wire. The wire can also be pounded flat in parts to strengthen the designs and change their appearance. Larger loops can be made by placing tubing over pegs to increase their diameter before wrapping the wire.

    The document discusses wire wrapping ideas and provides illustrations of different designs that can be created using a homemade wire wrapping jig.

    Some wire wrapping designs illustrated include earrings, connectors and centerpieces made using a single piece of wire wrapped around nails/pegs in different patterns.

    To create the designs, begin with the center of the wire at the bottom peg and follow the pattern around the pegs. When finished, wrap one end of the wire around the other and trim off. The remaining end can be used as an earring hook or connector loop.

    Wire Wrapping Ideas for


    the
    Universal Wire Wrapping
    Jig

    Below we have some illustrations of what kinds of things can be


    accomplished using our home-made wire jig (see this page for instructions
    on making the jig).

    We've used the same size graph paper to design these as we did to make
    the jig, so it all matches up perfectly.

    In all of the following diagrams, the copper color represents the wire, the
    black dots represent the pegs (or nails), and the blue represents whatever
    type of bead you might care to use. I've drawn most of these designs as
    earrings, but they can also be used as connectors or centerpieces. They
    should all be done using a single piece of wire.

    How to Wrap the Wire


    To imitate these patterns, begin with the center of your wire at the bottom
    peg and follow the design around. When you reach the top, the two ends
    should meet evenly. Wrap one end around the other and dip it off. The
    other end becomes the earring hook or the connector loop. Then you can
    pull out the pegs to free the piece.

    Pounding Out the Wire


    Take a hammer and a flat metal surface and pound some of the edges of
    the wire flat to give your design more strength. It also adds something to
    the finished look. Experiment a little with this and you'll see what I mean.

    Inserting Beads
    Note also that you can insert beads from any available loop to add to the
    asthetics of your design, as in some of the examples above. You could
    also string round beads into any of the straight sections by "sewing" them
    into the pattern as you go along.

    Making Larger Loops/Curves

    Another idea you might like to try is to place some kind of hard tubing
    (metal or hard plastic) snugly over the nail as a sleeve to increase its
    diameter. This will increase its size. and hence. the size of the loop that
    wraps around it. You can probably find something suitable for this purpose
    at a local hardware store.
