Fancy Bails

Please see my video:  Two Bails and a Clasp  for video instruction on how to make these bails.

I’ve sized some of these patterns.  If you want them wider, longer, thinner, etc. edit them with a photo editing software program.  I use Adobe Photoshop (my favorite program).  Just cut out the pattern and glue it to your metal.  I use a glue stick.  If you use Super glue or Locktite to glue two pieces of metal together, you need to soak off the pattern and then torch the metal to separate the pieces.  BE SURE TO VENTILATE WELL!  The other method to remove Super glue or other types of cyanoacrylate glues is to soak it in acetone.  Wear Gloves!  Oh and have fun.

I recommend either 20 or 22 gauge metal for these bails.
