Hanging my project with wire or chain.
by Jim Aerni
Jim / Anaheim Answer Tiger Tail is available in the jewelery supply section of craft stores like Michaela, AC Moore or Hobby Lobby. You use crimp beads to hold it in place. The wire is very flexible and easy to work with. You will find it under different brand names. The one I use is Beadalon. It's a flexible nylon coated braided stainless steel wire. I put a crimp bead on the wire and hold it so it doesn't slip down while I loop the end of the Tiger Tail through the wire ring. Once the Tiger Tail is through the ring, I slip the end of it back up through the crimp bead. The final step is to squeeze the bead closed with pliers or buy a set of tools specific for jewelery making. The tools are inexpensive and you get wire cutters and a tool for squeezing crimp beads closed. |

You can't imagine how much I wish I had found your incredible website before I spent many hundreds of dollars on lessons, dvd's, tutorials, etc. I can tell that everything I need to know can be found here. All I can say is "Thank You!" Larry
I can't thank you enough for this site. The new search feature is amazing and it makes it so easy to find exactly what I am looking for. Thank you again! Laurie
Your site is fantastic! I took a six week class four years ago and recently started again (after forgetting almost everything I learned!). I have to say that your site is excellent and I can't wait to practice the techniques you've shown. Scarlet
I'm a subscriber to your "Stained Glass Gems" and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your wonderful site! This is by far the best glass site I've run across. I recently purchased your publication on Patina FAQ and it's very helpful for me... I like to have hard copies of info so I added it to my library. Suzanna |
