Clover Link Tutorial
In this tutorial you learn how to create great little Clover Links using simply your pliers.
The link being taught in the tutorial is the plain link in the upper left corner.
The link can be left plain or wrapped for extra effect – even a simple cross-hatch in the middle makes a striking effect when several are placed together…or accent it with beads.
Use in Earrings, Chains, and Bracelets…anything your imagination can think of!
20g Half Hard Silver Artistic wire has been used in this example – however any gauge up to 24g could be used.
It is strongly recommended not to use a gauge finer than 24g unless you intend to wrap the link for more stability.
Easy to follow - and complete with 21 photos.
If you have a whole lot of small pieces your not quite sure what to do with - then this could be your answer!! Mix them up in sizes - just have fun!!
