How to wire wrap a lampwork flower bead - Free Tutorial

I am sharing how I wire wrapped  a flower bead.  I started with 3 pieces of 22 gauge wire as the base and coiled 26 gauge around them following a pattern (two wraps around the bottom two wires and two wraps around the top two wires).   

Continue coiling until it measures approximately 1.5 inches.  Wrap the coiled section around a pencil.

Insert the wires through the flower.

 Make a small loop at the end of the wire and coil it.

 Repeat the same step with the remaining wires

 Bend the bail against the flower

 And it is now ready to wear!

Wire Wrapped Flower Pendant

I made a pendant using one of my lampwork glass beads and copper wire.  I like how the copper wire complements the shades of brown in the flower.

Parrot Glass Bead

This parrot glass bead was handmade with blue and orange/red glass.  The wings were made with murrini so they look like feathers.
