Iron Necklace
A simple necklace, made of iron wire
Material and Tools
you just need a mandrel, snippers, round nose and flat pliers
Coil Making
make a coil around the mandrel (can be iron, wood or any material), don't need to be precise
Cut Circles
cut a series of almost 2 coils (or one and three quarter coils)
Circles on End
with round nose pliers make a circle at both extremities
Bend
with flat nose pliers bend the coil twice at half circle lenght
Insertion
now let them enter in each other the way you see in the picture
Close the Circle
close the circle so that it grasps the bend
Catch
when you've added enough pieces, add a ring and a hook for closure
Variant
instead of interlocking the pieces, if the end circle is wide enough, you can connect each piece with a small ring.
