Today we're going to learn about how to make jewelry using telephone wire. Right here I have an example of the type of wire that you'll find in your telephone. It's very distinct. It's patterned. It's got different colors, so it makes for a really cool type of wire when you're making a coiling project. Now we're going to start by taking 2 pieces of wire and folding them to make a loop. Take both of the pieces together and wrap them around just once to secure them in place. From now on, you're going to grab one main wire and that'll be your principal wire. Wrapping that around very tightly and enabling you to make this a very tight pretty coil. When you have multiple wires, you can actually switch them to change colors. Once again, making it very tight using your hands to guide it all the way around. When you're finished, you'll have a wire design like this, which makes a great bracelet, earrings, necklace, or any type of jewelry.
