This is what your finished pendant should look like . You can make two pairs for earrings or just a single for a necklace like im doing here for you. Ill link my other tutorial to explain steps more clearer if these are hard to understand. Im hopping that the picture will help more then writing it out. here is the link to my other blog --->https://steemit.com/art/@aloha-creations/wire-wrapping-seaglass

Step one will be picking your item to wrap. Im doing this olive shell i found here in Florida last weekend..

Step 6, then start joining opposite wires to make a cage.

Keep going around twisting the wires till it starts to lock in the shell.

Step7, now you should have 4 wires on the top and 4 on the bottom. Take two that are opposite of each other.

Start twisting to start your barrel.

Step 9, your almost done 🌸😍. You want to trim the tails if they are too long before you make your curls.

Step 10, start a curl with your round nose pliers then your going to turn it in with your chain nose pliers till its a nice curl.

Step 11, your making the two barrels now that all other wires are out of the way.

So if you have loose wires you can twist them up to tighten like this

I HATE trying to do this wrap on irregular stones. i can never get it to look right!
you've done a good job though and nice tutorial :)

Keep at it, u will get it.

lol ive been wire wrapping for nearly 5 years. its just one of those things im not great at. i always end up doing a different design

Its hard to get wire wrapping exact on a pair of anything for me but i try to get it close lol.

That's beautiful.
Love how you curl the wire to help hold it in.
Looks fun to.

@aloha-creation I love it! I love wrapping shells and sea-glass :)

I often see pendants wrapped like this, but had no idea how many wires one would need to keep track of at once. It's beautiful.

Its pretty simple once u get the hang of wire wrapping. U can add as many as u want reallly.
