On the Bias Corrugated Metal Earring Tutorial

Created by: Mollie Valente

Designer Tips

Corrugate the metal blanks by feeding them through the Tube-Wringer® on the diagonal. Squeeze the hand grip to maintain even pressure while turning the turn key.
TIP: Wear rubber-coated work gloves when using the Tube-Wringer. They cushion your hands and improve the grip!
Use a 3M™ superfine sanding sponge (500-600 grit) and a Brilliant polishing cloth to polish the high points of corrugated blank.
Gently curve the corrugated blank using the bracelet bending pliers.
Adorn the jump ring with beads of your choice.
To assemble each earring: Twist open the ear wire loop; add the bead-adorned jump ring and corrugated blank and then close the loop.
