Special Tools for Making Wire Wrapped Jewelry
Hi, my name is Nicole and today we’re going to be going over the basics of wire wrapping and making jewelry, and I just wanted to talk about some other tools that you can use while you’re making your jewelry. If you want to make scrolls, or a clasp, or findings, basically you would need a mallet and some sort of surface that you can hit with it that you won’t damage. You will also need crimping pliers which are used to crimp when you’re making a strand or a long necklace without any kind of connectors. And if you’re going to use the crimping pliers, you would need crimping beads which you can also find at a general craft store. And basically you just crimp them with the crimping pliers and they hold your necklace together. And those are some general extra tools you can use while you’re making jewelry.
