'Vines' wire wrap pendant video tutorial

In this tutorial, I want to show you how to make simple wire wrapped pendant. This design uses a heavy wire gauge, 1.3 mm (16 ga) but you can go down a size if you find it difficult to work with. I have used this gauge because it keeps the stone in place. The smaller the stone, the lower the gauge. It's a perfect design for those new to wire work. There are no woven components in this design, so it's a great design for beginner.

A full kit containing all the materials I have used can be found here
