Top drilled drop shape beads and briolette beads make eye catching additions to your handmade wire jewelry creations.
Unfortunately, top drilled drop beads can also be challenging to wire wrap, especially for beginners.
There are a variety of techniques for wire wrapping top drilled beads and which one is best for you to use will depend on:
- the size of the drop bead
- the size of the drill hole on the bead
- what size and type of wire material you are using
- how you plan to use the wire wrapped drop bead in jewelry
- and how experienced you are with wire wrapping.
The wrapping technique in this article is one I often use to wire wrap top drilled drop beads. It is especially easy for beginning wire wrappers.
This is an excerpt from my book Wire Wrap Jewelry Making for Beginners that is available now for purchase on Amazon and some other retailers such as ParaWire.
