Wire Guards. These little findings look like horseshoes.
PU: 50 Pieces
Size: 4x5mm and 24 gauge wire goes through the tube/channels.
Color: Antique Copper Base Metal is Lead Free and Nickle Free (EU Compliant)
These are used to protect wire or thread at the end of a beaded piece by encasing the stringing material in a channel.
Simply put your needle through one of the round -like ends, over the channel and down though the other end and continue beading or finish off your thread.
See the picture of my bracelet for how to use them to protect your thread from the wear and tear of a jump ring.
SUPPLIES TO SATISFY YOUR CREATIVE MIND
It is important to note that abrasives & chemicals in perfumes & lotions can cause finishes to deteriorate. Don’t wear pieces at times when you may cause damage to these finishes. While sealed for normal wear, man made items (which is mostly what I carry) are not completely waterproof and should not be worn when swimming, hot tubbing or bathing.
