I can't remember if I told you this before but I am so grateful for your "how to" techniques for those of us who are in the intermediate to lightly advanced stage. I've been wrapping for 10'ish years and I don't need the newbie videos anymore. And I think this was something that was lacking on RUclips, someone who addresses people who already know the basics. -- And I also am terribly OCD, so my perfectionist side is a huge hindrance to my creativity in "ad libbing" like with the messy wrap. My mind keeps thinking that it looks too patterned and someone will notice that. I made a circlet that was supposed to look like vines and that needs to look really natural, organic, and random. My mind had a horrible time coping with that one. *laugh*
Oh, and I'm glad you did this video too. I was looking for another person's technique on wrapping a cap on briolettes. I tend to worry about capturing my glass briolettes too tightly and cracking the glass. And in an attempt to avoid that, my pliers get in the way, or my briolette tries to spin on me since I'm using one hand to hold the eye and the other hand to wrap the wire and nothing is holding the bead still. So this video really helps. =)
I collect them lol . . . I use them when I can and I collect them to sell back but I have not done so yet so I have a LOT of scraps!
Where I wrap the second wire twice around the bail anchors it to the bail.

Anjalena It's not easy to make random look good!
love your how to videos but I wish you could do some close-ups so we can see what you're doing a little better
Great video, lol I have a harder time making the messy ones than I do the neat ones. Think my perfectionist side works against me.
I know, I do too.
Thank you thank you thank you! Just discovered you and I love you !! Keep making videos
Cute! Thanks! I'd love to see that awesome pendent you have on close up. Is it your creation?
What do you do with all of your wire scraps left over?
How were you securing the
2nd wire to.the first?
