I love wire wrapped beads.
I love wire wrapped beads.
Find an object that has a similar circumference as your glass bead. I used a dowel rod. Wrap your 20 gauge wire around your object several times.
Cut sections of your coil. I cut at 4 coil increments. Put your glass bead in the middle of the coils. Take chain or needle nose pliers and create a spiral loop at the end. Make sure the holes match up with each other. Kind of like the picture (which I will upload soon). Now create another spiral loop on the other end. This will secure the bead in place. Repeat with other glass bead.
Now that your beads are wrapped. Take an eye pin or head pin and string on the beads you would like on your earrings. create a loop or wrapped loop at the top. Attach to hook earrings. And done!
These wire wrapped beads are also great for necklaces, bracelets, and more! It is the same process. =^_^= Enjoy!
