Wrapping a simple pendant

tools,cut wire, glass glob

shown here is 20 ga brass wire - 2 pcs about 15 inches long and 1 pc about 10 inches

bend single short wire in center and place about 5 inches from end of 2 long wires

twist the single wire on around and squeeze tight with flat pliers to hold in place

flip over and place glob on top of knobby part of intersection

holding glob in place over knobby spot twist the short (5") double wire part over the top of the glob

bend single wire down over where double wire went behind glob. Bend 90° angle in double wire so it points up from glob when viewed from front

rotate up and do the same on the long double wire part

back view

back view closer

grasp single wire one one side

bend up and twist close to side of glob

pull up to double wire and twist around it from behind. tighten twist with flat pliers.

finish wrap on front and clip excess (you will cover clip with curl)

back view at this step

repeat on other side going to other end double wire

back with both side loops in place

grasp bottom double wire

make a curl to cover ugly wrap

finish curl and start curve around side of glob toward 5" double wire at top

wrap around top (5" double wire) tightening wrap with flat pliers, ending on front

make curl at top to cover ugly wraps

finish curl and wrap on around side of glob

hold wire to bottom and decide how much to cut off to make finish easier

back view

back view with wire clipped and tied down

only bail left

bend 5" double length over something rounded - I use round nose pliers

front view with bail bent down

clip double wires to length needed and attach to cross wire on back - long bail will allow wide omega chains

open top of double wires and bend a little to stabilize on chain

All done! except for polish and tweaking
