Wire Wrapped Star pendant Tutorial
In this video I'm using 0.6mm 925 sterling silver wire as its lovely and soft to work with. The beads are round 8mm Blue agates.
Its best to work slowly to get your wrapping nice and even.
This design works really well in different sizes too. Smaller stones make great earrings.​

Quick Version:
I've been asked to wire wrap stars, so I thought I should start with a simple design.
I found this trickier than it looks to get the wire lined up straight with one of the points, but I really like how it turned out.
I also push the bail forward if it doesn't hang quick right.
In this quick tutorial I have used:
20cm of wire(copper, silver, brass or gold work well, aluminium is too soft)
My star is 3cm
Wire cutters to snip off the ends
Mandrel Pliers to make the loop/bail
Needle nosed pliers the tidy the ends of the wire.
