Wrap your own Sea Glass

I know there is a lot of sea glass jewelry out there, but this wrapping technique is super easy and looks very nice.



Supplies to make sea glass necklace: craft wire (26 gauge works well) jump rings, clasps (your choice), soldering gun, solder, sea glass of course!



Step 1: cut a 6 inch length of the wire with your wire cutters



Step 2: Make a upside down U shape like this about two inches in from the end of your wire



Step 3: Cross the wire over the U shape you just made.



Step 4: Now place the wire on the back of the sea glass with the loop you just created on the side of the sea glass. You will want to do this so that the next loop you create is on the opposite side of the first loop.



Step 5: Next you will be making the same loop directly across from the first one. Start to create your U shape and twist it several times creating a loop just as you did in Steps 1-4.



Step 6: Now you have two loops on opposite ends of the same piece of wire and a loose 4-5 inch tail.





Step 7: Take the tail and encircle the sea glass with it



Step 8: First circle around sea glass. Now do that several more times, until you have done several more loops around. The amount of times you go around will depend on how large of a piece you selected.



Step 9: After looping it several times the front should look like this. Sort of tidy and neat. The back is where the two side loops are.



Step 10: Now open your jump rings and attach them to each side loop.



Step 11 Open your jump ring and attach it to the side loop of the next piece of sea glass you are using. Keep attaching pieces until you reach the desired length, soldering each piece is you so choose, to add strength to the jump rings.



Step 12: Attach your clasp to the ends.



Now go get some sea glass!
