beading how-to - WIRE WORK BASICS #2

next:

WRAPPED LOOP

①repeat simple loop step①~③(if you forgot, refer this post),

but DO NOT cut off the end

②instead wrap the end around the stem wire using two pairs of pliers or one paie of plire and hand - one to hold the loop, the other to wrap the end wire around the stem

wrap it around a few times

then cut off the excess

it looks like this

③put a bead on, and bend the unfinished end at 90° leaving a few mm for wrapping

④repeat wrapped loop step ①~③ to finish the other end

taddaaaaa

⑤if you'd like to continue making links,

just do wrapped loop step ①, and open the loop like below and connect to the ready made loop

finish wrapping

taddaaaaaaaaaaaa :)

congratulations!

now you mastered both simple and wrapped loops!!

you can make yourself a new piece of jewelry, or fix up your broken jewelry :)
