Making Head Pins With Wire

Someone told me about this excellent tutorial over at MSN Fine Wire Group for making head pins using wire. Actually, this is very similar to what I’ve heard other jewelry makers do, but they would just hold the wire over the flame to allow the metal to ball up before pulling it away from the flame. This metal worker takes a little different approach, and I suspect the head pins come out a little more consistent because of it.
My husband has finally managed to get out in the garage and start organizing our metal jewelry bench out there. We’ve ordered new flux and pickle and wire, so hopefully, that will mean some metal projects in the near future.
