Scribbled Jewelry

This tutorial couldn't be easier and it will get rid of your frustrations as well.

Materials

electric copper wire

16 gauge copper wire

bead

copper chain

Tools

needle nose pliers

bench block

hammer

paint brush

wire clippers

This copper wire is available in the electric department of your hardware store. It is on a big spool with all of the other wire cords. Have them cut a hunk of it off for you.

Form several loops with your pliers. Vary their sizes for interest. Be sure to include a closed loop at either end.

Using a hammer, flatten your loops on a bench block (piece of steel). A cement garage floor will do if you don't have a spare piece of steel or a bench block handy.
Wrap the 16 gauge copper wire around the end of a paint brush. Slide it off the brush and cut with wire clippers. Twist the jump rings open and use them to attach the scribble to the chain you have cut in half.
To further gild the lilly, hang a bead from the lowest loop. This aptly illustrates the way I fish - tangled lines and a tiny catch.
