Jewelry Making: How to Connect the Drop

Video Transcript

"Hi! This is Kathleen Wright from Kathleen Wright Jewelry in Miami Beach and in New York City, hennaparties.com. What I want to show you right now is drop or any other type of bead that you want to use as a drop, especially if the hole is drilled like so instead of this way. You know it’s a little different, you’re going to be using the wire through the base here, you’re going to use a straight wire here first and that drop is going to look something like this when I’m done. I put a little bead in between this one here, you can just put the bead if you’re going to be putting a bead like that, you’re going to put the bead here, first on the right side of the wire but this one we’re not going to do it with the bead but this is what I’m going to show you how to do. I’m going to connect right here to this piece because it’s a large drop, so we don’t want to put too much effort in getting it to drop down, we’re going to just use a good amount of wire, we’re going to wrap first, get a little wrapping there so that you know you’re going to squish it down to get it all down there, pull it down, now I’m going to cut it off and show you the next step.
