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 find yourself without the perfect tool for the job. In a pinch, I've found that small wooden skewers are perfect for making consistent loops in such projects as chandelier earrings, stone settings, rings and so on.

Wrap the wire around one stick, then place the second stick beside the first and wrap it as well. Then take them out simultaneously and continue making the loops. If you work in this fashion, you will make consistent loops perfectly equal to each other.

Use these loops to get a lacy effect and embellish your new projects as well as stone settings for different projects as earrings, rings, pendants.
