Wire Loop Bracelet Tutorial Uses Different Sized Round Mandreals

Wire loops are a great way to make the foundation of wire jewelry designs.  From there you can wire in beads and gemstones.  This wire loop bracelet tutorial is by Karen Meador. What is interesting is how she used different sized round mandrels to create consistent loops.  She used very large Wubbers bail forming pliers as well as a ring mandrel.  These pliers and related 3 step ones really make the task faster. But if you do not have these, then use knitting needles, dowels or the ring mandrel.



Also note how this designer makes an integrated clasp. Neat!

The foundation loops for this design is more structured than those in the first link below.
