The bead caps do look better if they contact the bead at the edges. <br /><br />Since I'm not a hat person, I had to look up all the different types of hats you named to make sure they were what I thought they were! :bLisa Yang Jewelryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16851061995303198057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154120257955860216.post-48691719165211109322014-04-03T06:27:57.335-07:002014-04-03T06:27:57.335-07:00You're so funny.

This way is probably a little more work making the cap, but a little easier to connect your beads, and a little more flexible with what wire you can use.

That is because the bead is not truly round. Due to the type of faceting, it is essentially a fat olive shape. Your cap doesn't contact at the edges<br />Bead caps generally look better if worn as knitted beanies or bowlers rather than coolie hats or lampshades. :-) <br />Try a cap size that will allow contact with the bead on the edges, and you'll probably be happier.Perri www.ShaktipajDesigns.etsy.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07142497366790866555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154120257955860216.post-5585104124932370982014-03-23T10:31:05.092-07:002014-03-23T10:31:05.092-07:00Ah hah!

Here I'd always though they were made by doing the regular wire-wrapping OF the bead and then wrapping the rest of the wire AROUIND the bead in that concentric circle to make the bead caps, and I was in double-trouble if the bead hole meant I had to use 22 or even 24 gauge wire. Sheeshkabobs. This is so simple! Thanks, Lisa. Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747846783177833492noreply@blogger.com
