Bracelet Swirl Accents for Wire Jewelry

Video Transcript

Today we're going to learn how to make a different type of accent. This is going to be a swirl. You can make it with the same wire that you use. I usually make swirls with either a very thick or kind of a firmer wire or a very pliable wire. You can do it either way. Your pliable wire is going to be a little more movable, but your firmer wire like this is going to stay in place, but may be a little more work for your wrist. Just like we have been doing, you're going to grab at the very end of the wire. You're going to start by making a very small and tight little loop. What you can do with this loop is take your flat pliers or use the all in one pliers like I have to kind of flatten that out a bit. There we go. Then you're going to take your either your flat wires or if you have the all in one pliers, you're going to use that to rotate using your thumb as a guide. You're going to circle around using your wrist and your thumb as a guide to make a swirly shape. The smaller you make that and the initial loop, the easier it's going to be whirl around. Once you make swirl, you can actually make variations of it and end up with something that's similar to what we have here. This is great. As an accent, it already has its hook on there and it's 2 different swirls. You can use that to hook on beads or just an accent on its own.
