Make Perfect Loops Settings For Your Projects with Skewers

by Judy Ellis
Have you ever been in the middle of a jewelry project and realized you're missing the right tool?

Don't let that slow you down! Here's a simple trick that works wonders: using small wooden skewers to create perfectly consistent loops for your designs.

Instructions
Every now and then, you may not have the perfect tool for the job.

In a pinch, small wooden skewers work great for making consistent loops in projects like chandelier earrings, stone settings, rings, and more.

Wrap the wire around one skewer, then place a second skewer next to it and wrap again.

Remove both skewers at the same time, then continue making loops.

This method ensures your loops are uniform and consistent.

Use these loops to add a lacy effect and embellish earrings, rings, pendants, or any project you're working on.
