How to Make a Wire Heart Bookmark
Supplies
- 20 cm (about 8 inches) craft wire – 16 gauge or 18 gauge
- Craft pliers (needle nose, round nose and wire cutters; I highly recommend getting this very inexpensive beginner jewelry making kit with all three. It’s a really good deal, and you’ll likely end up needing all three at some point in time while crafting.)
- Ruler
Note: You can measure a longer piece of wire if you wish to create a bigger bookmark with really big twirl patterns.
Instructions
Step 1
Hold the wire at one end and use the needle nose pliers to bend a small loop.
Step 2
Coil the wire around the loop to create a twirl pattern. Keep the coils loose with some space between the curves. Do 2 or 3 loops.
If you are doing a bigger bookmark, you can coil it more than 3 times using your longer piece of wire.
Step 3
Repeat the same process on the other end of the wire. Try to keep both twirl patterns the same size.
Step 4
Use the ruler to measure the middle point of the wire. Bend the wire at that point and bringing the 2 scrolls towards each other.
Step 5
Tighten the bend using round nose pliers and bring in the twirly ends to create a heart.
