Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Wire-Wrapped Stones, Crystals & Clusters »
Difficulty:

Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Materials

Jade Stones mixed with crystals, delicas, and stone chips strung on softflex beading wire. 26 gauge wire was used to create the circles from which the strands were attached using crimps and wire guardians.

What was your inspiration?

Aga's class.

What are you most proud of?

I like the flow of colors and the soft drape created by attaching each strand to wire circles.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Avoid tiny stone chips. Finding the holes was a bear!

Thank you. I have had these beads forever and finally decided to do something with them. I loved the color but wasn't wild about the shape.
