How to Wire Wrap Beads With a Swirl Twist for Jewelry

Video Transcript

"Today we're going to learn how to make a wrapping bead wires with a swirl twist to it. What we're going to start off is your wire, your basic wire, with a swirl on the end. We learned how to make that in another segment, so check that out. We're going to add the bead to the end of the swirl. The swirl is going to keep it on. Now we're going to take our needle nose pliers and grab that at the top leaving space to add a loop so we can add a necklace on there later, or if you want to use it for earrings or what have you. You've got your loop at the top. You can use that for leverage as you wrap the bead all the way around. This is a great bead because it actually has notches in it and it'll help to hold the wire a little more securely. You can wrap it all the way around as much as you want or as little as you want. Even a little wrap will make it the effect that you would like to have. When you get to the end, just take your pliers. I have my handy dandy all in one pliers. Cut it at the end and you have your wire wrapped bead. "
