Beadalon Stringing Wires are so easy to use when making bracelets, necklaces, eyeglass leashes and so on.
They are easy to use and no needle is required. You do need crimp beads and a crimping tool. We no longer carry
the beading wire, but we still have the crimp beads and bead crimper tool. We also have the wire guards new as of Sept.
09- those are on the jewelry making-findings page.
Wire coiling and wire curling tools make life so much easier. We have the wire curler tool in several
sizes. Wire jigs, wire curler and wire worker tool all can add a unique touch to your art project.
Use wire in rubber stamping, scrapbooking, polymer clay, doll making, jewelry making, altered books, ATC's,
book making and more.
See bottom of page for a little info on the different types of wire.

Wire Curler Tool ~ This simple tool for working with wire is so easy to
use, comes in small 1/8", medium 1/4" and large, 3/8". Just insert tip of wire into metal groove and begin to twist-
makes uniform curling, tight or loose. Works well with small or large gauge wire. This is
a popular item at the conventions when people see how easy it is to use. Use your wire curler to make uniform size jump
rings in heavier gauge wire or colored wires.
TIP~You can really get some cool looks with wire curler if you curl 2 or more
different colors of wire at a time.

Wire Curler Tool, 1/4" $2.50

Tip - Use your curled wire for doll
hair. Try your wire as a binding for books. For small books with a card stock cover, use eyelets at the hole binding
and use your wire thru the eyelets for a great look (add beads too!) Use your wire to wrap around an embellishment you
are adding to your artwork- sea glass, fancy pebbles, beads dominoes, etc.. Add it in your polymer clay. If you
wish to pound coated wire flat, be sure to use a hammer made of plastic or cover your hammer so it will not remove the color.
After curling your wire and sliding off the tool, flatten it in your hands and you can get some very nice free form looks
with it like flowers.
Coiling Gizmo~Imagine the possibilities with this tool. You can make fabulous earrings like the
one shown or beads for bracelets, necklaces and more. It is so simple to use for such a complicated look.
You simply crank wire around the rod and you've made a coil spring. Pull spring off and insert a core wire. Then
coil the spring around the larger rod in your kit to form a cylinder bead. Easy! Your kit comes with 2 crank rods,
bracket frame and instructions. Use most any type or gauge of wire to make beaded jewelry and other designs.

I used the wire curling tool- the largest one- to quickly and easily create this wire chain using 2

wrapped the top with copper wire, added a piece from an old Bible, backed it with card stock for stability, added Glossy Accents
in the center.
