Want to create clean, consistent wire jewelry without struggling to shape every curve by hand?
How To Use Wire Jig is a practical, beginner-friendly guide designed to take you from your very first jig setup to creating polished, wearable jewelry with greater control and confidence. Instead of relying on guesswork, you’ll learn how peg placement, wire gauge, tension, and simple hand tools work together to produce repeatable shapes.
This step-by-step guide walks you through the foundations before moving into complete projects. You’ll learn how to choose essential tools and wire, understand gauges and temper, read peg-placement diagrams, measure and prepare wire, make clean cuts, control wrapping tension, form loops and clasps, troubleshoot distorted shapes, and finish your work neatly.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
- Set up and use a wire jig correctly

You’ll also put your new skills into practice with four complete projects:
- Teardrop earrings
- Spiral and figure-eight pendant
- Link bracelet
- Beaded necklace with a handmade clasp
Each project builds on the techniques taught earlier, helping you move naturally from basic wrapping and shaping to creating finished jewelry you can wear, give as gifts, or use as inspiration for your own designs.
