    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare a base by wrapping 20 gauge wire around a paper mandrel sized to your wrist.
    Secure the base with 22 gauge wire.
    Pre-bead a long piece (about 4 feet) of 22 gauge wire with 6/0 seed beads.
    Start wrapping the beaded wire around the base at the secured part, ensuring tight wraps without visible base wire.
    Continue wrapping, managing the long wire carefully to maintain even bead distribution.
    Finish by creating a focal wire knot with the remaining wire, adjusting its size as desired.
