Please note that the crystal gemstone beads used in this project vary in size and shape.
- Before you begin, please watch the video on How to Wire Wrap A Briolette.
- Following what you learned in the video, cut a 2 feet length of wire using your flush cutters. (You may cut more for a "messier" wrap). Thread it through your crystal gemstone bead and create a "Birds Nest" wire wrap. Snip off any excess wire using your flush cutters.
- Take your length of chain and slide it through the loop on your wire wrapped bead.
- Next, using your chain nose pliers, open a gold plated jump ring and attach it onto the last link from one side of your 36 inch length chain. Close the jump ring.
- Open another jump ring and slide it onto the last link from your other side of chain; also slide on the loop from your lobster clasp and close.
- That's it!
