WIRE-WRAPPING DONUT PENDANT TUTORIALS
PART 1 – WIRE FRAMING
Step 1 of 28
Firstly, ready a Donut shaped stone that is about 1.6 inch in diameter. (fig. 1a)
Then, cut two lengths of 23 inch long red copper wires sized 12 gauge and 14 gauge respectively (fig. 1b, 1c).
Loop the wires around the donut stone to make wire frames (fig. 1d, 1e).
Lastly, adjust the 12 gauge wire frame to be slightly bigger than the 15 gauge frame (fig. 1f).
Step 2 of 28
Secondly, bend the excess wire into 90 degrees with a nylon jaw pliers to mark the ending of both the wire frames. (fig. 2a, 2b,2c, 2d, 2e)
Make sure the excess wires do not cross or get tangled (fig. 2f, 2g).
PART 2 – COILING DESIGN FOR 14 GAUGE FRAME
Note: From Step 3 to Step 14 will be focusing on 5 wire coiling designs on the 14 gauge wire frame and donut pendant.

Step 3 of 28 – Design 1
Use a 22 gauge copper wire to start wrapping a simple design as shown (fig. 3a, 3b, 3c).
Snip the starting coil with a wire cutter so doesn’t scratch or get caught on clothes (fig. 3d).
The completed design should be like (fig. 3e).
Snip off the excess wire as shown (fig. 3f, 3g).
