Finished wrapped marble
cut two lengths of wire (I used 20 gauge) approx 10 inches long, then bind them together in the center with a smaller gauge wire (mine was 24 gauge)
with your marble in the loop of wire pull the pair of wires apart from each other so that you have wires in the north, south, east and west directions
create your bale loop at the top with two of the wires and wrap them with the other two wires
at this point you can either trim all 4 wires or use one or more of them to create spirals for accents
these are the tools that are used
I had a little trouble getting the remarks lined up to the photos, but I think you should be able to follow.
Happy Marble Wrapping!
That's a neat idea, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteglad you like it
DeleteThis juat proves that it dosent't have to have a hole in it to be worn as a pendant! Thanks for sharing! PS: I have had the same problem with blogger-lining up the comments with the pictures! My last two posts took several attempts each! Frustrating!
ReplyDeleteI love working with things that don't have holes. I take it as a challenge to be able to figure out how to wrap it so that whatever it is it hangs properly. I guess with practice I will figure out how to line my comments up, glad it isn't just me.
DeleteI love this idea! Thank you so much for posting the instructions!!
