'Cear' wire weaving pendant video tutorial
Hey everyone! I’m excited to share a quick tutorial on how to set a crystal point in a wrapped frame using basic wire work techniques. We’ll create a secure loop at the bottom for easy attachment of a dangle accent. I’ll show you how to incorporate wire details with square wire and set faceted gemstones as accents using the coiling wire method. If you’re not yet comfortable with undrilled stones, feel free to substitute with drilled beads for this project.
