Beadalon Spiral Maker

Posted by admin on November 15, 2011 Comments Off


Another handy wire working tool Exclusively from Beadalon. These Spiral Makers create perfect spirals out of Artistic Wire, German Style Wire and any other soft wire 20 ga 0.81mm (.032-Inch) and smaller. Use colorful spirals to embellish jewelry, scrapbooks and paper crafts. Use small-piece of the diameter wire you intend to make the spiral as a washer on the three screws. Tighten wing nuts and insert the same gauge wire into the device. Center the wire in the center hole and insert the twister handle so the wire is inside the slit on the handle. Twist the handle until the desired size of coil is reached. Tip: count the number of turns to re-create the same size coils for multiple coils, or perfectly matching earring dangles.

Artistic Wire is the most extensive line of permanently colored copper wire for jewelry and crafts. Exclusive Silver Plated colors that offer striking beauty and shine. These wires are made by first plating the copper wire with a precision layer of pure silver. Then we carefully apply our unique enamel color and non-tarnish coating on top of this silver plating. The silver plating beneath the color adds an incredible high-shine and brilliance to the wire. Great for making jewelry components such as chain maille, beaded chain, jump rings, earwires, and wire wrapped pendants.
