Our tutorial is just to introduce you a step-by-step way for how to wire beads. The wire wrapping techniques cannot be mastered in one day, which shows the same reason as Rome was not built in one day. Some of the wrapping skills look complicated, but several experiments and doings can ease them.

Materials for how to wire beads: beading wires, glass bead (or other bead of your choice), side cutter, round nose plier, needle nose plier

How to wire beads step 1: prepare the beading wire

First, fetch 20 gauge steel wire as beading wire for this project, and wrap it around one of your finger several times, generally three times to form the ring base.

Second, leave the long tail for next steps, and use the short tail to loop the base, securing no overlapped part.

Third, use plier to flatten the loop and end part

How to wire beads step 2: beading wire wrap the glass bead

First, thread the flat and exaggerated glass bead onto beading wire (from the long tail), place it onto the center part of the ring (that is the flattened part);

Second, wire wrap the glass bead in the featured way, which can tightly secure the bead from falling, and create a nice look.

How to wire beads step 3: finish the ring

Give the final wrap, cut the excess wire with side cutter, and then use round nose plier to loop the end, making the loop connected with the base or previous wire.

The ring is done and how to wire beads is over. During the process of making, take care and never hurt yourself, as the beading wire is often hard wire which easily scratches your skins. In the last step, we curl the end just in order not to leave a hidden trouble to cause scratches.
