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 2, cut your 4 wires.
Step 3, cross them.
Step 4, twist each set together.
Step 5, center on shell how you want them to look. Front and back.
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 8, Do this on both ends.
Step 9, your almost done πΈπ. 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
And thats it. Just decide what side you want as the top and your doneππΈ

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.
