WIRE COILED JEWELLERY
I was recently introduced to a fantastic tool, called a Coiling Gizmo, by Jane at our Craft Group. After a practise run, I was bitten by the bug. I purchased the tool and been having a lot of fun since. My grand daughter made a bracelet and earrings for herself over the school holidays. I had a few paper beads from a previous project, so decided to include them in these pieces.

These are black paper beads I made a few weeks ago, mixed with grey paper which I scribbled with a black Sharpie, after coiling I sealed with Glossy Accents.

Who knew you could have so much fun with paper strips and thin wire!!!! Until next time
wow Sheila these are great!!think I've seen that coiling gizmo on C&C..
ReplyDeleteProbably, I never seem to catch anything worth watching on there, always decoupage and CD's when I am switching around. Purchased mine online on an auction site!!! I love it, but you could use a knitting needle to coil on or even a skewer, just to get the idea. See you at Ally Pally xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful necklaces, bracelets and earrings Sheelagh. The paper beads and coiled wire go together so well and you have made some fantastic pieces there. One day, when I'm grown up, I may have mastered the art of making a half decent loop in the end of a pin!!!
