Materials Used To make The  Project

Quick Project Steps

Basic Ring with Extra Wraps:
Start with the basic two-band ring design.
Add extra wire on the sides and wrap around the bead multiple times for a "nest" effect.
Setting a Bead Without a Hole: Create a base with two bands.
Use four wires to make prongs and set the bead in place.
Wrapped Band Technique:
Begin with a long piece of wire and place a bead.
Use a thinner wire (24 gauge) to wrap around the thicker wire, coiling it tightly before wrapping around the mandrel.
