How to Make a Wire Wrap Necklace
Hi, my name is Nicole and today we’re going over the basics of wire wrapping and jewelry, and right now I’m going to show you how to make a simple pendant for a necklace. You can also use these for bracelets if you want to have a charm. You can make them two different ways- from a headpin or just from straight wire, and I’ll show you how to do both. Headpins is basically just like making an earring. You take the headpin and feed the bead onto it. You’re going to make your perfect loop. And here we have a finished necklace and you want to find the middle part on the necklace, which on this necklace, is right here. So you can put it on the side and take your flat nose. You can make these with several beads if you like a long pendant, and that’ll just basically hang off the necklace. And the alternative way is to take a regular piece of wire and you can make basically a small curl and you want to close the curl off so the bead will not come off of it. And I like to add a little bend in the wire so that the curl will hang down, like so. And then you take your beads and you can connect it to your pendant the same way that you did the other one with a perfect loop. And those are the two ways that you can make pendants.
