   ok, this is what I wanted to know how to do…spent too much time being stupid and cut out the parts showing you how to do it! ugh! How do I wire wrap a pendant that is not predrilled, that is the question!

   This was actually what I was looking for so thank you very much. I have a natural crystal that I found with no drilled holes and I want to make a pendant out of it. Of course I want to keep it natural so I really don’t want to have it drilled. This is perfect and I can keep it whole. =)

   That was a good tutorial as far as the basics. But I wish you would have spent time with the finishing. Like, how you made the bale before you did the curly-q part.

   I just love that pendant you made with my most favorite stone of all stones. I’d wear it in a heartbeat. Great work

    Thank you for being kind enough to actually show the process of wire wrapping. So many videos on here are just a tease to some sort of instructional video to purchase. I no have money.. jeesh. LOL Anyways thanks! Now if I can only figure out how to do this with a stone that is not “flat!” but more random and roundish… sort of.

    What a great training! I was able to create my first wire-wrapped pendant after viewing this. Of course, mt first attempt was pretty pathetic, but I have the basics now and the final product is going to be amazing.

    Thank you again for the training and the humor!

    Anyone whos doing this are you using Half Hard wire or Dead soft ?? reason Im asking is because I started a project on sat using Half Hard .. I was almost done with the setting ,, but when I tried to seperate the wires and bend up (im a dummy) I bent in the wrong directon and snapped the wire !! also ,, do you do the same in the back as in the front to hold the stone in place ?? help ?? newbie,, there should be a site just for this !!

    Thanks for stopping by. Both half hard and dead soft are okay. I haven’t heard of anyone using harder than half hard. I prefer half hard when there’s a lot of ornamentation i.e. vines and twirls that need to be sturdy. Dead soft is good if you want a simple design that hugs the stone more. Both can snap though but that is the nature of the craft. It takes some practice to use just the right pressure when bending wire.

    It’s been a while and fact is I don’t have the piece anymore. If I remember right I may have used dead soft wire with half hard binding.

    BTW, if you are looking for a community I setup wire_wrapping on LiveJournal, haven’t been on there in a long time but there are some people there whom I remember were very cool and helpful.

    You’re a nut! I love you! Make more videos. This one helped me to understand the fundamentals, but left out some steps. Hey, Spielberg didn’t get right the first couple times out of the shoot either!
