A very simple twist-based wire-wrapping technique perfect for flat, irregular objects such as beach glass (or seaglass). All you need is some round craft wire (20 or 22 ga), flush cutters and a pencil, but chain-nose and round-nose pliers help make it easier!

February 20, 2012: Hey folks... new PDF tutorial based on this video available for download at www.jewelrylessons.com/tutoria...
PS I recommend turning the sound OFF, as it's just the sound of the dehumidifier in my studio basement and it gets kinda annoying after a while. Sorry, I just don't have the editing chops to deal with this.. YET!

Thanks so much for the video on wrapping sea glass. The audio was great! Very clear instruction 😊

@ewoelki 8 лет назад

Thank you, wire wrapping feels so overwhelming, but this tutorial actually made it feel a lot more manageable. I have sea glass from my local beach and this is going to happen now, Thank you again

@xsunny14x 6 лет назад

Exactly! I really wanted to make some wire-wrapped jewelry but they all looked so professional and perfect - didn't know if I could do it.

I love the simplicity and beauty of the design. Thank you for this tutorial.

+Erica Lyons I'm so glad to help :)

@jendb1234 10 лет назад

Best tutorial I've seen on how to wire wrap beach glass. It's much easier to follow & stay focused without all the rambling in the background, your on screen memos are a smart way to convey the steps as you go. Would love to see more vids from you. Thank you!

@GayleBird 10 лет назад

My pleasure! I also get distracted by audio. I guess this is a visual learner's medium! I have lots of downloadable PDFs too... just check out my website. :)

@karlenedesimone9373 11 лет назад

I LOVE that there were no words!!! Excellently done!! Am looking forward to trying a wrap!!! Thank you! Great job!

@kxchz98 13 лет назад

Making jewelry is one of the coolest things you can do! And it coms in handy so often! I used some beautiful old stones to make a necklace for my mom on mother's day!

@SusanNagy 11 лет назад

Excellent video. I took a class and wrapped a few pieces but you've reminded me of how much I enjoy wrapping! And I have lots of rocks & shells that need a purpose!

@hawneebee 11 лет назад

Thank you so much for posting this!!!!!! Your technique was so simple but still pretty. I saw another video that was so much more complex but you made wrapping so simplistic. I look forward to your next video.

@SuperRocketdog1 9 лет назад

Omg!years ago my daughter then aged 4 and upwards would collect beach glass on Bexhill beach! We had jars of the stuff, I wasn't crafting then and we threw them away when we moved house! She is 35 now so will get my granddaughter to do it. Great idea👏👏👏👏

@GayleBird 8 лет назад

+Maureen Howard That is fantastic!!

@iamhis4749 4 года назад

Thankyou so much for posting this great quick and easy tutorial. I am going to be using it to make Crystal jewellery but i didn't want it to be too fidley or time consuming so this is great. Much appreciated! 😁👍

@letitdie00 11 лет назад

Very simple, easy to watch video. Thank you for this tutorial, it's brilliant. Contrary to what a few comments said about the background noise, I actually found it quite soothing and liked the crackle of the movement of the wire (but that's just me!). Very helpful, thank you so much.

@reborndaughter445 10 лет назад

I learned more about this type of wire wrapping, than I've ever learned before. Simple and intuitive. Thank you very much.

@Potatosoupandplants 6 лет назад

Best video I've found on how to do this! Thank you.

@MrAlbanyrick 11 лет назад

Great tutorial ! I live along the Atlantic coast and in the 45 years I've lived here I never heard of Sea Glass until a few days ago. I'm going out looking for Sea Glass tomorrow. Thanks to your wonderful tutorial i'm going to try my hand at making Sea Glass jewelry. Wish me luck!

@whitefox25 12 лет назад

This video is so helpful! The steps were very easy to follow and my sea glass wrapping looks wonderful for doing it for the first time :)

@eldermanager 11 лет назад

Just started trying my hand with wrapping - Thank you for the video & no distracting dialogue!

@kathiecondon1330 4 года назад

I realize you did this video in 2010 but the technique never changes. Great, great video.

@whippetchick 10 лет назад

I LOVE this tut!!! So simple and fast, but the results are beautiful!! I found the background noise to be a bit distracting, but it might be because I have a migraine. I used this method to wrap a chunk of green malachite, and used the extra wire to curl and attached peridot Swarovski beads. It was a gift for my SIL, and she loves it!! Many thanks!!

@maanesha1 11 лет назад

beautiful, thankyou. i find sea glass regularly as i walk on the beach every day so now i can use their beauty other than in my plant pots for decoration.

@staceylawson7784 12 лет назад

Such a brilliant tutorial. Have just been doing a weird shaped stone step by step with your video, it was so easy to do once I found this. Thank you very much for sharing!

@nikkia4741 5 лет назад

I love how u made this. I’m learning just to embellish a weaving project. So easy and nice. Only wish there was talking and explaining. Ty

@lucretiaonutube 10 лет назад

Excellent tutorials ... thank you very much for sharing your skill. I've tried to do this many times with varying degrees of success and I can see from this demo, where I was going wrong. Thank you again.

@kaymad143 10 лет назад

WOW, thank you so much for sharing this! I am a beginner, I have so much sea glass from many years of walking the beach. Now I want to make something from them. I was thinking wire wrapping. You made it look easy, I will be watching this video over and over while I try my first piece!!! Thank you again!

@jennybuck1000 12 лет назад

Gail, you did an incredible job! You can bend wire faster than anyone I know.Thanks so much. I will watch over many times. I have been twisting wire for 10 years and I do not move that fast! Great video! Thanks! JB

@stevenavarra4715 4 года назад

Whoaaaa! NEAT! I'm just learning, having tumbled a bunch of nice, antique shards I've found. Time to get wrapping!

@birdsong63 11 лет назад

Just came across your wonderful video, Gayle. Finally, a method that doesn't intimidate me to try a simple wire wrap. You've made it so straightforward and easy. Thank you for sharing this! ;-)

@LotusOfLilith 11 лет назад

@FrootbatBat 13 лет назад

Wow. great tutorial. I wish I found this when I first started with wire wrapping. It may have saved me lots of frustration. Thanks for posting this!

@din0rawr123 11 лет назад

Oh my gosh!!! This was so helpful :D Someone just yesterday asked me to wirewrap something and I said I'd have to find a good video for it, and what's the first one I look at? The good one! Thank you a million for having this so clear and easy!!!

@cathyjenkins5985 12 лет назад

That was a great tutorial...I just collected some beach glass during a walk with my hubby along Lake Erie...I knew I wanted to use it for some jewelry and now I know how to wrap it...thanks!

@giddalti 11 лет назад

I haven't started making jewelry yet, but I've noticed that every designer has his or her own style -- their trademark touches. I'm waiting for my stones to arrive. I can't wait to start creating. I have ideas (from watching youtube videos) regarding what I'm going to do with the wire and stones. Yet, until I get my fingers on the materials, I can only imagine where my designs may go. Thank you for sharing!

@rhez1977 11 лет назад

All I can say is WOW! Great tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing your skill!

@KathleenCrenshaw 3 года назад

Simple, beautiful, easy to understand. Thank you!

@giddalti 11 лет назад

Wow! That is beautiful and easy -- making it twice as nice. When you created the "S" designs that tightened the fitting, I thought that was really a nice look. I thought that was going to be the front of the jewelry ... just something to think about for future designs. Thank you so much for sharing your skill and talent with the world!

@TangibleTania 12 лет назад

Oh how I love your video! You move at just the right speed and now I can wire wrap stuff! I have always seen stuff like that and I was amazed and wondered...now I can make beautiful things! Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge. btw..loved how you had the directions in the video and I'm going to check our pdf. :)

@thomasjones5383 11 лет назад

I have to say, I've never liked wire wrapped anything, even professionally done it often looks like a 4th grade art project;but I like yours! It looks finished and put together without trying. This is really one of the best examples I've ever seen. Brava!! Great job, and to think it's only a tutorial. Change of tune...Tom Jones (no really)!!! THANKS for converting me!!!
