Question:

How do you store unused wire to stop kinks?

Answer:

Hi folks. Well, this comes down to a bit of organization and preparation. If you recall back in September 2009 Sherrie Lingerfelt gave us a great video tip that showed us how she stores and organizes her wire. This little tip will keep you from getting the dreaded “wire kinks” in the first place. Watch that video here. “Organizing ALL of Your Jewelry Wire“

So, get those unused wires organized in a bag, in your envelopes and store it in a case. Don’t forget we have another video that shows you how to straighten wire with your fingertip. Watch that video here: “Straightening Your Jewelry Wire”

Perhaps soon we can discuss in video on how to address a wire that is truly kinked. Do we cut it out and throw out the kink or do we get creative? To be continued…
