Wire-Wrapping Square Cabochon Tutorials

Step 7 of 12 – VINE ANCHORING

Similar to Step 6, make a wrap in between the wire frame with the 22-gauge wire on the top left corner (fig. 7a, 7b, 7c).

Place the second vine in position and wrap 3 coils in the center of the vine (fig. 7d, 7e, 7f, 7g, 7h, 7i).

After that, anchor the vine by wrapping on the wire frame (fig. 7j, 7k).

Step 8 of 12 – FRAME COILING WITH DESIGN

Continue wrapping the 22-gauge wire from Step 7 toward the bail edge (fig. 8a, 8b).

Then, pull the wire downwards to the bottom frame (fig. 8c).

Here is the tricky part, pay attention!

Make one loop at the bottom frame as shown (fig. 8d, 8e, 8f, 8g, 8h, 8i).

Then, make one loop on the right side of the bail edge at the top frame (fig. 8j, 8k, 8l, 8m).

Make a second loop on the bottom frame (fig. 8n, 8o, 8p).

And finish it off with a second loop on the top frame (fig. 8q, 8r, 8s).

Step 9 of 12 – FRAME COILING

Proceed to wrap the whole right side of the wire frame (fig. 9a, 9b, 9c).

If you run out of 22-gauge copper wire, start with a new length (fig. 9d).

To keep the wire tidy, wrap 3 starting coils then cut off the excess wire (fig. 9e). 

Tip: Make sure the trimmed wire are tugged behind the frame so it won’t get caught on surfaces.

Keep going until the whole 13-gauge wire frame is wrapped fully (fig. 9f, 9g, 9h, 9i, 9j).
