These earrings use wire wrapping in a rather different way, to create shapes surrounding our beads. You can use as many beads and wires as you like, perhaps even use larger beads and longer wires to make a pendant.

How about changing up the type of wire? Twisted wires, square wire or half-round would all give a different look to these frames. Experiment and see what you can come up with!

Enjoy the video and happy creating.
