Materials:
1 Double Dip in Coral
Tools:
Round nose pliers
Flush cutters that will cut up to 18 ga wire
Chainnose pliers
Optional: steel bench block and chasing/planishing hammer
Directions:
1. Cut the Double Dip in the middle so you have equal length.
2. Make a wrapped loop using the round nose pliers. Please note the 18 gauge wire is dead so it's easy to wrap.
3. Optional: Hammer the loop a couple of times on each side to work harden.
The 18 gauge copper wire gives these charms an ethnic feel. Enjoy!

Hiya, Tish! I make the Double Dips and there is an adjustable ring project in the August/September issue of Easy Wire. Sooo, I've sold out of them on my site right now. But I'm working on re-stocking!
The wire in the charms is part of the double dip, you can see the double dips in this blog post: http://lampworkdiva.blogspot.com/2010/05/wednesday-wire-free-tutorial-matching.html
Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you so much!
I love the color of these charms! Thanks for sharing.
These are so cute. I thought I was going to have to use a torch to make my own double dips, but these are easy. I could do these. Thanks.
