Wire-Wrapping Square Cabochon With Copper Flower Pendant Tutorial

Step 5 of 11

Tape the wire rose flower on the square tile cabochon to hold its position (fig. 5a).

At the back side, continue weaving the wire stalk into a curve (fig. 5b, 5c).

After that, twist the third loose 20-gauge copper wire into a spiral flower and form a wire prong  (fig. 5d, 5e, 5f).

Finish the spiral flower design by twisting the remaining 20-gauge copper wire inwards (fig. 5g, 5h).

Step 6 of 11

Next, slip the extra 26-gauge copper wire through the hole to the cabochon front (fig. 6a, 6b).

Then, coil the extra wire tightly onto the wire rose flower (fig. 6c, 6d).

Trim off the excess 26-gauge copper wire with a wire cutter (fig. 6e).

Step 7 of 11

Let’s form a wire leaf with a new 20-gauge copper wire as shown (fig. 7a).

Then, fill up the empty space with wire weaving using 26-gauge copper wire (fig. 7b):

• Make a few starting coils at the tip of your wire leaf frame.
• Pull the wire from the left frame to the middle frame, and make one coil.
• Then, pull the wire from the middle frame to the right frame, and make two coils.
• Alternately, pull the wire from the right frame to the middle frame, and make one coil.
• Lastly, finish the weaving combo by pulling the wire from the middle frame to the left frame, and make two coils.

Note: Make one coil on the middle frame, while two coils for the left and right frames (fig. 7c, 7d, 7e, 7f).

After that, trim off the excess wires using a wire cutter (fig. 7g, 7h).

Place the wire leaf on the space next to the wire stalk on the cabochon (fig. 7i).
