Description


How to Use Wire Guardians
 
Wire Guardians are used to protect all stringing materials from undue wear. Wire Guardians keep wire from being worn down by clasps or other sharp-edged components. Wire Guardians are stiff and keep their shape.

Wire Guardians Step 1

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
1. After determining the length of your bracelet, cut your wire, 5-6” longer and string on a crimp bead and run the wire through the Wire Guardian.
 
Wire Guardians Step 2
 

 
 
 
2. Slip one end of toggle on to Wire Guardian and run the wire back through the crimp bead.
 


 
 
 
 
Wire Guardians Step 3
 
 
 
 
 
 
3. Crimp.
Wire Guardians Step 4
 
 

 
 
 
4. Finish bracelet and repeat for the other end of toggle.
