"Hi! Kathleen Wright from Kathleen Wright Jewelry, hennaparties.com. To continue on with the drop, in the beginning you’re going to have some extra, you’re now going to squeeze down the actual wrap that you did. I’m going to cut it off just a little bit, I have a wire cutter here with a very small tip, trim it just a bit. Some people like to have a little more wrapping action going on there, this one’s going to have a little more because it’s a large piece and some drops just look nice and I’m going to squeeze the wire down a little bit more, you can make it a little more even, it could look less bulky there, squeeze it all down so now it looks like this. Now I’m going to just make my ring now at the top so I wrap first, it’s a little different than wrapping to each other because I did my wrapping through here, make sure it’s even on the ends and now I cut a little piece and I’m going to connect. That would be for either a necklace like this like the one I’m wearing, where I’ll attach or that would be for attaching to wire if you just want to do a piece like this to the wire. "
