Filled wire heart and bracelet using closed loops

 I made this heart by creating the shape free-form but you can also buy something called a jig, which you put pegs in and wrap the wire round them to make shapes. This came out a bit big so I think it looks best as a decoration but you can make pendants and brooches like this.

 I made this bracelet to practice creating closed loops. Closed loops are the loops either side of the beads. You can create them using round nosed and chain nosed pliers. I've found it hard creating loops the same size but I guess you get there with practice!
