WIRE-WRAPPING BLUE MARBLE SPHERE BALL ABSTRACT SWIRL PENDANT TUTORIAL

Step 1 of 16

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

Cut 2 strings of 18-gauge silver copper wire that measure 16-inches in length (fig. 1b, 1c).

Combine both wire strings by taping them in sections as shown (fig. 1d, 1e, 1f, 1g).

Next, mark the midpoint on the 18-gauge silver copper wires and place your marble on the spot (fig. 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d).

Then, wrap the remaining wires into a U-shape around the marble (fig. 2e).

Spare some length and cross the extra wires at the top as shown (fig. 2f).
