With all the hot new fiber options being used in jewelry these days, you may need ideas for finishing the ends. This simple wire wrap is a quick, easy and professional way to finish fibers in your jewelry pieces
Apply a small amount of adhesive to the fiber. We used GS-Hypo Fabric Cement. Fold the fibers over and press together for several seconds until the glue holds firmly.
STEP TWO
With your bent chain nose pliers, make a right angle bend in a piece of wire that has been cut to at least four inches. Depending on the thickness of the fibers you are using, you will want to use a wire that is between 22 and 26 gauge. Lay the wire across the fibers and hold in place with your index finger.
STEP THREE
Wrap the loose end of the wire several times around the fiber. Make the wrap as tight as possible and the loops as close together as you can. After you have made several loops, trim the excess wire.
STEP FOUR
With your bent chain nose pliers, carefully pinch the wires to press them together, then lay the nose of the pliers along all of the wire at once and flatten them a bit for extra hold. After making these adjustments, you may want to trim the wire one last time.
