Step 15

Fold your 20 gauge wire in half as shown (fig. 15a). Make a bend about 1/2” down (fig. 15b) and hook on to frame (fig. 15c). Using your needle nose pliers, pull the end up and around the back (fig. 15d). Position wire for wrapping (fig. 15e).

Step 16

After making a couple of wraps around the frame to secure the wire (fig. 16a, 16b), start making a tight swirl. Make sure your swirl is big enough for the jump ring, otherwise it will be difficult to make this a pendant (fig. 16c, 16d, 16e).

Step 17

Bring wire down back and start wrapping around the frame (fig. 17a, 17b). This part takes some practice and intuition in regards to finding the best placement for the wire. It basically boils down to how much room you have and how much you want to cover. In this case, I’m just going to keep wrapping around the frame, and will focus on filling any gaps between the beads (fig. 17c, 17d, 17e).

Step 18

If you have lots of room between your beads, you can add a couple of swirls (if it feels right). For the sake of simplicity, I’m just going to keep wrapping around the frame to fill in some gaps (fig. 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d, 18e).
