They just. don’t. stop.
Wire turning and twisting, up then down and around and ta daaaa–you’ve got a pendant.
Yesterday on the live show, I had Wyatt White from Beadalon show the basics of making wire wrapped cabochon pendants. He actually shows how to make the wrapped crystal on the right using a Swarovski faceted flat back.
According to Wyatt, you can set lots of things with this technique. He’s a wizard and if you’re curious about wire wrapping and setting cabs, definitely watch this video. He has designed special banding pliers from Beadalon that make the wrapping process really easy. So many comments were expressing excitement about these pliers. We like easy around here so thanks Wyatt!
