WIRE-WRAPPING ROUND HEALING CRYSTAL STONE BEAD RING TUTORIAL

Step 1 of 8

Ready all items in the Materials and Tool list (fig. 1a).

Cut a string of 20-gauge copper wire and loosely bend it in half (fig. 1b, 1c).

Then, slip in a small round bead and let it rest at the midpoint of your wire (fig. 1d, 1e).

Step 2 of 8

Fix the bead position by cross-wrapping the 20-gauge copper wire on one side of the bead (fig. 2a, 2b, 2c).

Then, wrap the remaining 20-gauge copper wire onto a wooden ring mandrel (fig. 2d).

Step 3 of 8

Next, let’s form the band for your bead ring.

Make two wraps around the wooden ring mandrel with the 20-gauge copper wire:

• First wrap (fig. 3a, 3b, 3c).
• Second wrap (fig. 3d, 3e).

Then, pull the remaining wires at a diagonal angle as follow:

• Bend the bottom left loose wire diagonally to the top right direction (fig. 3f, 3g).
• Bend the top left loose wire diagonally to the bottom left direction (fig. 3h, 3i).
