How to Wire-Wrap Beach Glass the Easy Way

A very simple twist-based wire-wrapping technique perfect for flat, irregular objects such as beach glass (or seaglass). All you need is some round craft wire (20 or 22 ga), flush cutters and a pencil, but chain-nose and round-nose pliers help make it easier!

February 20, 2012: Hey folks... new PDF tutorial based on this video available for download at www.jewelrylessons.com/tutoria...
PS I recommend turning the sound OFF, as it's just the sound of the dehumidifier in my studio basement and it gets kinda annoying after a while. Sorry, I just don't have the editing chops to deal with this.. YET!

    You must have the annotations turned off! The text shows that it's about 10" for each length of wire. Try turning on annotations and watching again!

    Omg!years ago my daughter then aged 4 and upwards would collect beach glass on Bexhill beach! We had jars of the stuff, I wasn't crafting then and we threw them away when we moved house! She is 35 now so will get my granddaughter to do it. Great idea👏👏👏👏

    Best tutorial I've seen on how to wire wrap beach glass. It's much easier to follow & stay focused without all the rambling in the background, your on screen memos are a smart way to convey the steps as you go. Would love to see more vids from you. Thank you!

    Great tutorial ! I live along the Atlantic coast and in the 45 years I've lived here I never heard of Sea Glass until a few days ago. I'm going out looking for Sea Glass tomorrow. Thanks to your wonderful tutorial i'm going to try my hand at making Sea Glass jewelry. Wish me luck!
