1. Please watch our video: How to Wire Wrap a Briolette. From what you learned in the video, cut off 8 inches of wire. Slip the bead on to the wire with two inches on one side and six inches on the other. Take the two inch section to make the loop and wrap. Then use the six inch section to do a "messy" wrap going down the bead. (Please see photo for reference). Trim any excess wire with your flush cutters and tuck in the end of the wire so it is not poking out.
2. Open the loop of the earring hook, same as you would a jump ring and attach the wire wrapped bead onto the loop. Close the loop.
3. All done!
