Wraps above a top-drilled bead

Follow step-by-step instructions to make a set of wraps above a top-drilled bead for your jewelry project.
1. Center a top-drilled bead on a 3-in. (7.6 cm) piece of wire. Bend each end upward, crossing the wires into an X above the bead.
2. Using chainnose pliers, make a small bend in each wire so the ends form a right angle.
3. Wrap the horizontal wire around the vertical wire as in a wrapped loop. Trim the excess wrapping wire.
