Wire Wrapped Coil Beads - Beginner Friendly Tutorial and a little introduction

Welcome back, lovely souls.

Learn how to make wire wrapped coil beads, and how to link them together to make a copper wire wrap necklace or earrings. This beginner friendly tutorial will take you step by step through the process.

Today, I thought I'd throw caution to the wind, and introduce myself. A very nervous couple of minutes showing my face (ARGH) and then I show you how to make lovely copper coil beads, which you can use for all sorts of jewellery projects.

I'd like to link a couple of wire artists' channels here, as they were invaluable when I was first learning to play about with wire, and I'd like to credit them here, for their time and generosity:

The very beautiful Yvonne at    / @backtoearthcreations   who is so very talented and generous with her time. I urge you to check her out. And, the lovely https://www.youtube.com/@LilyTree/videos who is such a talent, and I loved watching her videos when I was starting out.

Materials for today:

1mm copper wire (18g)
0.4mm copper wire (24g)
0.8mm copper wire (20g)

Round nose pliers or 6-step pliers
Rule
File for rough edges
4mm beads of your choosing

Hope you have a lovely time making these. They're so versatile and you can use them for all sort of jewellery projects.
