Egyptian Coil tutorial

I did up a quick basic tutorial, it's not great, but I hope it helps!


put a loop at each end of the wire



Use your pliers to slowly coil the wire at each end.


When youre done you should have a piece like this.



Then you want to bend it in half, I just eyeballed it.




You should end up with this phallic looking thing. Then you need to bend it the other way.



Here is a finished single link.










Then you thread the one through the other until you get the length you desire.


Tips: Make sure you cut all your pieces of wire the same length. For the silver bracelet I used 20 gauge wire which I cut into 6 inches lengths. When you make your coils it’s important that they are all consistent, once I do the first one, and get it to the point that both ends are coiled, I set it aside, then use that one to measure and compare against all the others I do.

*If you want the coils to overlap, bend the loop over just at or bellow the height of the coils. If the tail is too long the gap will be big. I hope that makes sense.
