These bead drops are very useful when making pendants or earrings using wire wrapping techniques.
You’ll need these supplies:
wire, at least 20 gauge thick
beads
You’ll need these tools:
hammer
steel plate or anvil
Bent nose or chain nose pliers
round nose pliers
file
Directions:
1.) Cut the length of the wire that you need, be sure to include enough to loop and wrap at the end.
2.) Hammer the edge flat on the steel plate or anvil. If doing more than one, hammer them all one right after the other. This will ensure that you flatten about the same amount on each wire.
3.) File the flattened edge. Round it off so that there are no rough edges.
