Welcome to the third video in my jewellery making series where I will show you how to make ornate swirl wire wrapped charms as you can see in the photo below. You can apply this technique to any bead. This is a great design if you want a unique handcrafted look to your design, it is also handy if you have run out of headpins.
The photo below shows the charms on the ornate wire earwires which you can learn to make in tutorial 1.
The video may take a minute to load depending on the speed of your internet connection.
This is the second video I've made which teaches you how to wire wrap a charm. I've used a rice pearl however you can easily substitute it for any other bead you would like to turn into a charm.
This is the first video with many more to come. I teach you step by step how to create the gorgeous earrings you can see in the photo below. You can easily add charms to the earrings to change the look as you can see in the second photo.
In the photo below I made charms and added gold filled jump rings and chain to create this long length dangly design. The charms can easily be changed by slipping them off the end of the earwire, the video shows more examples.
Please be patient while the video loads, it can take a few seconds with slower connections.
This video is some of my previous designs. I will show you in future tutorial how to wire wrap jewellery to make your own one of a kind designs.
