How to Make Flower Shaped Wire Wrapped Loop Link Unit to Form a Bracelet

Hi guys! This is a tutorial on how to make flower wire wrapped components to form a bracelet.

Materials:
1 round bead
About 6 - 8 small beads
6" 18ga or 20 ga round wire

Prepare about 4" 18 or 20ga round wires.

Grip the round nosed pliers about 1" from the top of the wire.

Twist the pliers through 90 degrees away from you, creating a right angle.

With your free hand, curve the top piece of wire towards you, shaping it tightly over the top of the pliers.

Keep curving until it crosses the other piece of wire, and remove the round-nosed pliers.

Grip the loop with pliers. Start wrapping the tail around the stem wire very neatly.

Wrap about 5 times, and close together. Snip close to the stem. Cut off excessive wires with cutter.

Thread a round bead into the other end of the wire and pull it towards to wrapped loop.

We are now ready to make a loop at the other end of the bead. Leave about 0.5cm from the bead and twist the pliers through 90 degrees away from you, creating a right angle.

With your free hand, curve the top piece of wire towards you, shaping it tightly over the top of the pliers.

Keep curving until it crosses the other piece of wire, and remove the pliers.

Grip the loop with pliers

Start wrapping the tail around the stem wire very neatly.

Wrap about 3 times. You notice there is some space left. We will complete the wrap to 5 times when we reach last step.

If you are making a plain wrapped loop link here. You may complete the wrap of 5 times to make it identical to the other end of the bead.

Thread about 8 small beads into the wire.

Wrap the small beads around the round bead.

Pull the wire into the hole as shown in picture.
