Do you think that 24 guage wire will work in place of the 28 guage? I never Β keep anything smaller than 24 guage... I don't know why...
I have 20 guage wire, so that's not a problem... But I don't want to waste my wire trying to use something that won't work... You know what I'm saying? I don't think I'm being very clear... sorry...

so do you wrap the 28 gauge all the way around the ring or just on the sides?
also do you have to use a dowl or can you use your own finger (to make it fit better?)
