How to Wire Wrap an Eyepin

My beading projects range from bead embroidery to bead weaving stitches like Herringbone to wire wrapping, so sometimes I can go months before I make a basic bead loop.

So, I thought it would be a good idea to revisit some basic techniques - like how to make (or wrap) a loop around a headpin or wire. But, even better is knowing how to make a wire wrapped loop because wire wrapped loops don't only look lovely, but they are much more secure - which is great if you are using some expensive stones or pearls.

Lucky for us, JewelryTutorialHQ.com has a video tutorial to help us learn that oh so easy, yet sometimes tricky, technique.

So, click HERE to learn how to make lovely, secure and consistent loops next time you need to.
