Kimberley Newman is a genius. Lots of people make wire wrapped earrings with single beads. But her tutorial has a crucial difference. Instead of using a finer wire like 26 G or 28 G to wrap the beads to the frames, she hammered tabs which are then simply folded over. Gives a different look, doesn't it?
The tutorial also shows how she uses a marker pen to help form the round part of the frame. If you are using round beads which are smaller (or larger) than a marker pen barrel, consider other mandrels like knitting needles and wooden dowels.

ReplyDeleteThis is a great one for folks who make their own beads, too (like me). It is such a great way to show off the full beauty of a bead's face. Thank you for sharing this one.
