Wire Wrapping

Gerdus just left the country to buy new stock again!


We expect our stock to be here by next week! (Holding thumbs) We will then start to unpack and list! Very Very VERY excited!!! I will let you know when the stock comes by sending a newsletter, writing a blog and posting it to Facebook.

Speaking of which, we have a Facebook page where we upload all the images of the items that will be listed within that week. So, while browsing through facebook, go and like our page or add us as a friend!

Wire wrapping has become very popular! It is creative and can be lots of fun if you want a new hobby! Below is a tutorial for simple wrapping. There are loads more designs and techniques on the internet! Make a Pendant Bail with Jewelry Wire

This is an example of how to make a pendant using craft wire. For this project we also use some star-shaped decorative bead caps.

Thread the caps and the bead
Put the wire through the caps and the bead in the proper sequence and make a decorative curl at the end of the wire.

Create the wire loop for the pendant

Bend the wire at right angles approximately 4mm from the top of the pendant, and form a loop with some round-nose pliers.

Wind the wire around the stem for the pendant

Hold the loop with flat needle-nose pliers and start wrapping the wire around the stem between the loop and the top of the pendant. Make sure that the winding is even.

The finished jade pendant is an accessory that will stand out on light colored blouses or sweaters. It will also provide good contrast on dark clothing that does not have a busy design.
