Wire-Wrapping Ammonite Shell Coiled Coil Copper Pendant Tutorial

Step 5 of 12

Moving on, let’s form two sets of coiled wire using the following wires:

• 22-gauge copper wire as base wire (fig. 5a).
• 26-gauge copper wire as coiling wire (fig. 5b).

This is the result of the coiled wire (fig. 5c, 5d, 5e).

Tip: You can use a coiling gizmo to speed up the wire coiling process.

Step 6 of 12

Now, let’s form one set of 20-gauge coiled coil wire.

Firstly, repeat Step 5 to create one long coiled wire string (fig. 6a).

For the coiled coil wire, assemble the following wires:

• 20-gauge copper wire as base wire (fig. 6b).
• Long coiled 22-gauge copper wire and naked 22-gauge copper wire as coiling wires (fig. 6c).

Anchor the coiling wires onto the 20-gauge base wire (fig. 6d).

Then, start the double coiling process until you have enough length to wrap around your pendant frame (fig. 6e, 6f, 6g).

Step 7 of 12

Combine the two sets of coiled wire from Step 5 onto the left and right sides of the 20-gauge coiled coil wire (fig. 7a, 7b).

Anchor the 20-gauge coiled coil wire bundle onto the bottom right of the back frame (fig. 7c, 7d).

Then, anchor a new string of naked 20-gauge copper wire onto the bottom right of the front frame (fig. 7e, 7f, 7g).
