Multi shape double cabochon wirework pendant

hello that I'm a lovely dream makers I'm Krystina of CSL designs and in today's tutorial I'm gonna show you how to make this double cabochons wirework pendant so it's gonna be quite a long one because I'm going to be taking you through the whole process from start to finish right from the initial sketch all the way to the very end and I wanted to make it as detailed as possible now I made these into a double cabochon pendant but you could also use either of these designs completely on their own so what I'm going to do is put time stamps in the description box down below the video so if you just prefer one of them and just want to make that you can easily find out whether I'm just sit through the whole video but anyway enough talking if you want to learn how to make this pendant then keep watching so these are the materials that are going to need now I have two different gauges of regular round silver-coated copper wire here so first I have a point eight mill this is going to be the base wire and then here I have a point four mill which is the weaving wire and then of course we'll need the cabouchins that we want to capture so I'm using an oval and a teardrop shape in this case obviously you can customize this design for other shapes and sizes so it doesn't have to be these specific measurements and shapes but the oval one here is 4 by 2.5 centimeters and also this teardrop shape one is 4 by 2.5 centimeters as well but like I said you can use other sizes and shapes I'm just going to show you the technique and you can customize it to the cabouchins that you're using and then of course we also need some findings here for when we've captured the cabouchins so I've got my chain that I'm going to use to hang the cabouchins from and then I've got my findings so lost or podcast but extended chain and of course some jump rings so I'm going to leave the material list and links you might need in description box down below the video otherwise let's get all the materials ready and let's get started so to start out with for a design like this I like to kind of plan it out a little bit which for me means kind of doing a bit of a sketch so first of all I start with taking my cabouchins and then I'm laying them out how I want them to end up sitting or hanging rather and then I just want to basically trace around them with a pencil just to get the shape in there so I just do that for both of them just so it's as precise as possible so got the oval one laying sideways here and then I've got the teardrop on below it with the point facing downwards that's how I want them to end up sitting or hanging and this is then the beginning of the sketch so I can now take it from here and start first of all if you kind of always you coming up with a design start making the sketch here to kind of visualize it a bit more and I find that really helps and otherwise also to plot in certain points where you want certain things to be so for instance some loops or connection point or something like that it really helps me think go to make the piece to be able to reference back to this and kind of use it as a little bit of a template as well so I know that on the bottom here the tip of the Taylor's right you could say it's gonna be wrapped and then I need to come further up the side both sides and this is also gonna be wrapped and I'm kind of just doing this too like I said have a bit of a gauge when I start wrapping I can use it a little bit as measurement as well so it's not just kind of doing it by eye it's something a little bit like this and then I do want my loops to kind of hold the front of the cabochon as well to be from here so start with a smaller one and then I do a larger one and then I finish with the smaller one again and obviously you can refine this and the same with the other side as symmetrical as possible so the smaller one the larger loop and then back to a smaller one now as part of the design impact of holding the cabochons from the front some of these wise are going to come in a cross a little bit as well it's not too crucial to put that in the sketch but I'm kind of just doing it just to give you a bit of a visual of what the purpose is going to be so just roughly something a bit like that what to have an idea and then to me one of the most important things here is to find out where if you can call the connection point it's going to be because I need to add some loops to the top here so something a bit like this but then I need to be able to match it up with the loops on the cabochons on the top so I need to make sure when I make them then obviously that say the toots and the top cabochons they're act off from the bottom wants to say if they're really close and these are far apart then they aren't gonna line up and be able to fit together so he said that is kind of one of the most important things and I'm gonna have the loops on one facing one way and obviously the loops on the other one facing the other way to be able to link them together so just something a bit like that for reference and then again moving on to the top one I want to have it's gonna be wrapped further around as well so there's gonna be more reps in the bottom one boat if I do roughly from the sides to begin with it's a reference and then I want the equivalent loops that I have here I want them up here as well but I'm gonna make them kind of go below so I do again start with a small one and then make it go to larger one and then a small one again and let before these aren't too crucial to get precise it's magis for reference so I kind of know what my plan is small one larger one and a small one and these loops that were making here and on the other one it's also going to help capture the cabochons from the front so it's not obviously going to be able to come out there same as these wires are gonna come in across the front and then I am also going to have why is coming across the front up here on the top one and again that's really just for reference it doesn't have to be too precise in this sketch because that's something we can always kind of fiddle around with once we've done the rest kind of we end up with these side points and then that's when you would start working on them anyway but what I do just want to add as well final thing more or less is we need some loops here at the top just like down here but we need these ones here to be able to add our chain to so using jump rings or something like that so obviously we need to make sure we don't forget about them and then I just know roughly the way I want them so I can kind of see from this that the measurement is a little bit off it's not you important but if it's too obviously I like to kind of just correct it on my sketch so I just need to move this out a little bit further it's something a bit more like this but anyway this is then the basic sketch I have my points where I know I need to capture as part of the cabbage in here from the front obviously the back will look different but we're not going to be working on that till after we've done all this anyway so this is the beginning part we're going to do and then as most importantly I have the points where I'm going to be wanting to add in loops and just to make sure as well that I don't forget about them and also that the distancing is nice and correct as far as possible so this is at that point so I will keep referencing back to this whenever I need to so I'm gonna kind of use this as a bit of a template like I said so also we need others to figure out how long we need our wires to be that will depend completely on the materials that you're using and it doesn't have to be perfect anyway I always say rather have too much wire than too little because obviously if you have too little that's gonna be a problem wears too much you just cut off the excess so just to get a rough idea just take my because I'm gonna start with doing the tutoring here I just take a scrap piece of wire I'm just gonna get a rough circumference something a bit like that and I then kind of like to make sure that I at least double this and add a bit extra as well so that's why it's having me to really good precise measurement because obviously you might use some different cabouchins or something like that but that's kind of what I like to do so I'm kind of at least doubling the circumference of the stone the cabochons and then adding a bit extra as well because like I said I'd rather have too much than too little so I've ended up cutting far lengths of 0.8 mill here or about 30 centimetres each but like I said that's just the links that I'm using here for my Commission's I've then also cut a short length here I'm a point formul maybe about 15 to 20 tomato sauce so it's just a short length enough to literally do the tip of the cabbage and to begin with and this is just gonna be used to basically hold these four wires together so our grammar file links a base wire here and I also make sure that they don't have any kinks or bends in them so straighten them out and I see they don't have to be a hundred set perfect stick straight but just so there's no obvious kinks or bends or too large curves in it so just something like this and then I find the midpoint so you can just measure that obviously halfway in from either end then I take this shot length 0.4 mil so like I said I'm going to use this to basically wrap it around the base wise just to hold them together so I make sure the base wise Alain flat next to each other and they need to stay like that then I just start wrapping this wire around it and that's I'm kind of doing one wrap at a time here I'd like to also have my chain nose off flat nose pliers handy and kind of flatten it down as I go and tighten it around the wires and then I do my next draw from making sure that that wrap is right next with your thumb so we don't have any overlap or anything and bring that down behind so I'm basically just coiling this wheeling wire around the base wires and also squeezing them together there so they stick nice and close to each other so you can kind of see the difference between once I've you some pliers and flatten them down to when I've just wrapped it around that last one it makes it grip on tighter to the base wise as well and push them together and I'm just going to be doing about five of these wraps here so I think that was a fourth one and then the last one squeeze that down using the pliers it also makes it look nice and neat and again making sure that these wraps are nice and flat sitting next to each other we don't have any overlap now what you'll find you can still probably move this up and down the wire so if say it's moved a little bit you can double check now that this is still in the middle of the base wires otherwise you can just move it to that point so you can see we didn't need a whole lot of the point form of the wire for this now what I'm going to do is get rid of the excess so I'm gonna do that on the back because we don't want the ends to be sticking out and away from the piece because it's going to kind of be out in the open where can catch and scratch on things so here on the same side so which is going to be in the back what's going to be towards the Capuchin I'm gonna go in and cut off the excess and I'm cutting it so I have the end of the wire they're still kind of going across those base wires but then being finished off in the middle of them the same with the one on the other side so I don't want to cut it off right where it's coming around from the other side get rid of that and then I'm just going to take my chain nose here and push it down and then if you can really try and squeeze that end kind of into the base wires to basically took it away keep it nice and tight and then we have a little you could call a connection point here where we connected all these four wires together now and hold them together with this little wrap so I'm then gonna take my wires here and also some chain nose a flat nose pliers just make sure that if you using flat nose pliers that they aren't larger then the rats section there then I'm just going to basing the place on pliers on that raft section making sure that it's still in the middle and then I'm just gonna start bending these bass wires into the shape that they're gonna more be because we then you just start wrap them around the cabbage in and this is kind of just to help them along the way and make sure as well that the back of this wrap section is on the inside here cuz like I said that's gonna then end up sitting up against the Koshien so I'm just gonna swap to my chain nose pliers cuz they're a bit finer because we do remember this is the point of the corrosion so something a little bit like this not obviously it will help to just reference back you can take the cabbage in here and kind of just lay that in there to see how it will sit so if the bend that were making basically ends up fitting nicely with the point of the corrosion so something like that we don't need to bend these further in they're going to be coming up the sides here like this moving towards the top pop so that curved part of the top so this is looking pretty good for now you can see the shape of the cabbage in here with a point in that little kind of corner we created it's sitting nicely and the wires coming up the sides so why they like to do is kind of lay it down on a flat surface here make sure that point is sitting where we want it to and then the wires always a nutter coming up the sides but you can start it and bring them around the side a little bit the curved side not all the way just yet but just a little bit in here and the same on the other side make sure to hold everything in place and still have the wire sitting flat next to each other so just something a bit like this for now now it's not perfect yet obviously we still got some work to do here but what I then just want to do now is cut two lengths of a point formula wire here about 30 centimeters or so so I've cut them already because I want to be able to just grab it when I need it rather then kind of be filling about with this and then I need to put it down to be able to cut my wires so these two lengths are ready for me now if I then just bring in my sketch again just see where we've got to you can see that we're making it up the sides here and I'm basically getting to the point where I then want to do the wraps on the sides to again hold the base wire together same principle to begin with us down here but then also after that we need to start making these little loops so first of all we need to connect the base wires so that means I'm just gonna grab one of those point formal lengths that are cut ready and then of course the wires themselves so as you can see we're now just gonna work on one side at a time and this is basically the same principle as at the point there so I'm putting my lengths behind to the wires making sure they're still laying flat and secure all the way so we don't have any of them crossing over and then I'm just gonna start wrapping this around still keep the vase while nice to each other and as you're rapping use you chain nose a flat nose to go in and flatten it against the base wires kind of make it grip better and then we just want to do a few wraps here and squeeze down so I've done four reps here and then you can see if this can still move up and down the base twice so don't worry too much about positioning just yet just kind of leave it there for now for now it's more just to hold the base wise together I'm gonna turn my piece around grab the other length or point for a little wire that I'll cut ready the other one I'm just leaving there to kind of hang out and then again making sure the base wires are flat next to each other then we just want to do the exact same thing here so wrap the weaving wire around to basically hold the base wires together give it a bit of a connection point now and then do the same amount of wraps on this side so then I'm just gonna reference back to my sketch again here because I now need to make sure that I get these little wrap sections that are just made in the right position so I don't want him to be too high up the wires and also not too far down so I kind of like to just reference the sketch to see what it was I had in mind then when I was kind of making that so again just do one side at a time I'm gonna position it I should think push it down just a little bit so around there and then I'm gonna hold on to that with my fingers and then with that section being there we then need to start making these loops as well cuz these looks and also going to help obviously that means this rap section won't be able to go further up so that means I'm only going to be using the very top wire to make the loops so I'm separating that one out and then I'm just gonna hold my wire pretty for much further out from in here where the loot is gonna be made because it kind of gives you a better curve I find and then I'm gonna bring it around itself just get that tail out the way and then start making it into that loop shape and then obviously we need to adjust the size so the very first loop is gonna be a smaller one and you can keep referencing here to make sure nothing is moving at any point that stays where you want it to and then just keep making this smaller and getting it into position so I just want to get this bit smaller still just maneuvering it and then just smooth this way out sothanks something a little bit like this maybe just a little bit smaller just so obviously the next one that's going to be the larger one don't want to feel like I have to make that larger than I want to and there it goes so I'm just gonna use the first loop there for reference now to make the next one so I'm just going to make all three loops here at the same time off one at a time obviously but before we start the next step so the same principle bring it over the top of itself and start bringing it around and then just maneuver and adjust the shape and the size until you're happy and obviously I want this to sit next to the other one make sure the wire comes back up the same way that it was coming before we started making the loop this is something a bit like that I think I also don't want it to be too large so they kind of overlap too much of the stone but obviously that's completely personal preference and then for the third one same again and remember this is then also a small one so and I want to try and make this as similar to the first one as possible to make it as symmetrical as possible you could say so make the loop and then I'm going to get it smaller and smaller and in the right position I'm just moving up my wire along the way if you need to readjust anything you can also use pliers to help maneuver your loops and your wires just comparing them almost there I think just a little bit smaller still something a bit like that and then I just want to make sure how this sitting in comparison to each other so I don't want for instance the distance between two to be further than the distance between the other two so do you think this is looking pretty all right and then bring this wire back up again so basically it's gonna end up the wire going back up and laying in the same place so we took it from we've just now then added in these loops along the way and they're going to be sitting and overlapping over the front of the stone which is going to help hold it in place now that's this side here as you can see now this has moved down but once we made that first loop that doesn't matter because now we can push that up and we know that's where that's going to sit because obviously you can't go any further so that's how you make the loops here get them in the right place just smooth the way back out to follow back with the other ones but a flip it around just measure here my sketch I want to bring it down and obviously I don't also want to make sure it's pretty even as much as possible with the other side so it's about the same distance up that side grab onto that and then you separate out the top base wire on this side and you start doing your loops in the same way obviously working on the opposite side here and then again try and make sure to get these loops as similar to the ones on the other side as possible so now I made the loops on both sides here and see as even as possible then I want to start securing it in place as well so that's not going to continue now using these lengths of point formula wire again I'm just starting one side at a time so first of all just start on this side here I want to make sure that the roughs that I already did on this side I pushed as far over so girl just sit right underneath that first loop which is a small one then what I'm going to do to start securing is I'm going to keep doing the same thing roughing around but we can see right now is we've kind of reached well right below that first looks we can't wrap around all four wires in the same way so I'm just going to wrap around the bottom three so basic come in underneath the loop you can use your pliers to help push any wire into place and then we just want to go like this underneath the loop only wrap it around the three wires until we get to the other side of the loop again I'm still wanting to squeeze them down flat and also push them as tight together as possible making my way underneath the loop squeezing it down then I just want to see where I am you have gone far enough yet to where we can start wrapping that top wire with it as well again so that's when we get right after the loop and we have this little section of wire between the loops that we can actually wrap over the top of them which I feel like I've kind of think I'll just do one more wrap around just three wires like that and then I should be able to go over the top of all four again and now when I'm wrapping this I'm making sure that the wire comes down between the two first loops and still on my base wise they're laying flat next to each other and now basically I'm just gonna wrap until I then reach the point where that large look at the middle one I'm going to be underneath that so again I don't have any more of the top wire that I can wrap because I'm below the loop so basically just going across and then catching that top wire where we can and when you reach below that large loop the middle one just go back to wrapping only the bottom three wires there again until we make it to the other side the loop and we can start wrapping the wire that's in between the last two loops and just keep doing that until you reach the other end or the other side there of that final loop so now reach the other side of that final loop there where if I was going to continue wrapping I can start wrapping including that top wire that I made the loops with I'm not gonna be doing that though I'm gonna stop here you can do that if you want to just to connect that last wire at the top wire after that last loop there that's up to you just do a couple but otherwise I'm going to flip my piece around I'm basically go to the other side and just repeat the same thing so push your existing wraps as far as possible and then we just continue wrapping here and straight away I'm gonna go below the first loop and same principle just keep capturing that top wire in between the loops so now that both sides are done here what we can do is because we're done using the weaving wires is going and cut off the excess and that's the same principle as when we did the tip just make sure the ends are being finished on the inside so they're gonna be against the cabochons and cut them off about the middle of the base wires and then flatten them down same with the other one that way again the ends are not gonna be catching or scratching on anything with its clothes or skin and just make sure to squeeze that down as well so there we go and of course do the same with the other one and then if you can imagine here forget the couch and just show you how it's gonna be and obviously we can also do this just to check that everything is as we want it's gonna sit in the shape of the cabbage and obviously and then these loops are just coming in over the sides to gently help capture the cabochons but the same time not covering it too much kind of just adding a bit of extra nice design now we need to continue shaping these ends of our base wires so again I just like to lay it down on a flat surface here so I can kind of keep control over it so I've made sure that the frame that we're making sits nicely entirely around the cabochons and then I'm just gonna grab one set of wires at a time here one group at a time all of them at the same time in the group and then just keep them coming around the top of the coercion there just so they get that shape in them and they obviously overlap up here for now but then we have that rounded shape at the top and then you can see the whole frame is sitting nice and tightly around the cabochons now these at the top here still open which is then what we're going to deal with next now I'm going to be doing this with the cabochons in place I'm gonna hold it like this with my fingers it can be a little bit fiddly because obviously it's not actually in there securely so it easily will fall out so that's why I'm just holding it the best I can in the frame make sure it's sitting how I want it to and then I'm going to take one group at a time and start shaping that now what I want is for the groups both of them to end up kind of at the top here swooping with a curve and then actually starting to come down on the back of the cabochons so hold it in place best you can and then I take that one group that time working with all four lengths and then I just start to bring them around to the back a bit like that here so it's not actually going in on the middle of the top there because when I then do the other one do the same thing but obviously it's mirrored it's on the other side that's gonna come down as well but then sit next to for now the first group now still not perfect we don't worry about that we're doing this gradually but then you can see the principle is that they're not they're going to end up not overlapping they're at the top but only kind of curving in towards each other and then coming down towards the back here so just grab that and bring it further around so just like this for now and then what we are going to end up doing policy the principal always used some of these wires to also help secure the back of it so then what I'm going to do before I start securing any of these wires on the back I want to just separate out two of the wires here so one make sure we choose the right ones I basically want to choose the second one from the back so in this case on this side here it's this one I'm just going to separate out from the others and then just kind of bring it up and out of the way for now and then on the other side just picking out a correct one it's this one here again just bring that open out of the way because these two I'm going to use to create two loops with that we then attach discussion to the other one so I'm just gonna leave them open out of the way and the other wire then coming down here behind the back of the cabochons and now what we need to do is start crossing these over and under each other so I kind of want a crossover pattern between them obviously you can kind of do this however you want to you can make this different that's completely up to you but what I'm going to do is start from left doesn't matter what side you start from but try and hold things in place in the shape here obviously it's still loose because it's open at the top just do your best and just you can pull it down a little bit so the bottom one on this side I pull over to the other side underneath the wires here then I'd take the bottom one on this side and pull over to the other side here as well so these two are crossing over each other now and I'm just going to see then pull them down a little bit and we can also do this without the stone in the whole time and smooth them out on the way as well and then just make sure to pick up the correct one on the other side again pull that down here so we still have curves in there but they are then crossing in the middle there doesn't have to be honest it perfect just yet because then we can still do it just mints but just get it a little bit into position for now just need to smooth this one out a little bit more so they're crossing a bit further down here towards the bottom then I take because I started on the right side so that's the next one I want to take again so that make sure you take the next one in to the next one in line now obviously the next one in line technically is the one we brought up and out of the way but just kind of ignore that the next one is the other long one because the last ones here are shorter because they're the ones we used for the loops so they have a little bit shorter length left but this I then also bring down a bit but then over towards the opposite side so you can slowly start to see we took from the right side first over and then also for the left side sorry so we took from left and then we took right and then left and then probably guessed it we're going to take the right again so we're basically alternating from side to side so we get that crossover effect in the middle and then the final ones just kind of want to bring them over without moving them too much because I want to make sure I'm not disturbing anything shape wise when I put my cabochons back in I want it to sit so I'm still happy with it because these top wires I do want to come so we look for in the front kind of curving in over the top there so they do still just catch it at the top but also it adds just a nice look to them or to it rather so they kind of just come in and hug the cab chin over that top curved side so we have now crushed over all the wires here so then take a bit of time maneuvering your wires around until you're happy with how the positioned so I'm just taking two eyes at a time I'm not doing all of them at the same time because that's a little bit overwhelming and difficult because like I said the top is still open so I'm just starting with the bottom two here the ones that are crossing over at the very bottom and kind of just don't worry about the other ones right now so I've got those bottom two into position how I like them to sit then what we need to do is cut off the excess length because I then need to make little loops at the very ends so we can then connect these wires to the actual outer frame there on the side so I'm going to take my flush cutters here and rather cut off too little than too much because you can always gradually cut off more whereas obviously we can't add more so I'm going to cut off so I have a length about like that coming away from the frame and then about the same on the other side like I said does not feel perfect yep I then take my six step bail making pliers here because I like to use the same step so I know that each of these loops that I'm going to making get the exact same size and I'm just using the very small step but you can easily use round nose pliers as well then what I'm going to do is this might be a little bit easier to do without the Koshien in place you can always see already see there that it was captured quite a bit better had to do a bit more work to actually get it out because the wires are starting to cross over on the back here when you wear then start one at time grab the very end of the wire that I cut off and then start to bring it in on itself way to create that loop now I can already see here this is a little bit too far out so I didn't cut off quite enough but like I said rather that before adjust anything on that I'm just gonna create the loop on the other side as well just making sure I'm using that same step and then doing the loop making sure I bring the very end all the way around so I'll get a full circle so again you can see that overlaps a little bit so not quite ready so that means I'm going to go in take my first cut is there and cut off at the very tip of the wire just a little bit at a time so you can see a cut off a bit there then I take the sixty bail making pliers again and basically continue the roll and I just keep doing that until it basically then ends up fitting perfectly meeting up with the outer frame there obviously the same on the other side and also so they're nice and even so just cut off a little bit at a time and then keep rolling until they fit nicely and then of course you continue with the other wires so get them in position cut off the excess leaving a short end there again rather too much than too little and then go in and start making your little circle or loop and I'd like to make sure that it do these in the same direction they're all kind of going up and around instead of maybe one is going that way and then one is going office it way but that's just personal preference obviously it all depends how you want yours to look and then again just need to cut that down a little bit more otherwise I'm going to do the other side as well get them to sit properly and then of course I need to do the final two as well making sure that everything still fits and sits nicely with the cabochons in place so you can keep ticking in and out obviously it might be a little bit easy to do some things with it out because it isn't securely in there just yet but then just keep putting it back in to make sure everything is still sitting nicely so now I got the back ready here I sorted out all the lengths and I prepared them with those little loops so they fit nicely not with you with Hansel adjust it as we're going to be putting it together but for now I'm pretty happy with it so what I'm just gonna do before I actually attach them is just deal with these two wires as well because like I said these are the ones I'm going to use to make the loops with at the top here so we can connect this cabochon to the other one so I get my sketching again just to reference roughly where it was that I want those loops to be so you can lay this down we can kind of use that to George so what we're going to need to do is take some chain nose pliers here make sure it's sitting nicely so the frame even though it's not fully attached yet there at the top it's I'm holding it in place the frame around the cover shin then I'm going to need to bring these wires here you just have a look so roughly around there I'm gonna grab the place where I want the bend to be with my pliers and then make a bend straight upwards just something a bit like that and then of course the same with the other side now we want this to be as symmetrical as possible so just bring it down a little bit before putting your pliers and then putting that bend in bringing it a little bit further up and then just obviously smooth out these wires here so they're coming straight up and away from the piece so I'm happy with how it looks from the front so how's the metrical that they are sitting obviously that's the most important thing with these loops there then I just want to push them forward a little bit because right now they're pretty far back so push them forward a bit here a bit like that then again I take my six step bail making pliers and I placed them just one at a time and then I go in and bring the wire around and it's a little bit high up now I want this Luke to come all the way down where the bend is so it's not sticking up too much just gonna bring this around the pliers there's a full circle and then I can just roll it down into place so a little bit more actually something a bit like that no it's up to you as well obviously how far down you want it to be that will then also determine the distance between the cabouchins once they're both made and then put together the other one also bring that all the way around so we can then also go in and roll that down to sit where we want it and then obviously making sure they are both level with each other so we're creating these little loops here to then be the ones that connect with the other cabochons I then take my flush cutters here because with the need to always you get rid of the excess wire so I go in right where the wire meets up with this also creates that full circle and cut off the excess again same principles before a rather cut off too little and too much curse people always go in and cut off a little bit more for need to but then if it's good then you can flatten it down and it basic creates a little loop like that where the very end of the wire is kind of butting up against itself like this so the very end here against the side of itself further down same thing on the other end the other side go in and cut off the excess I'm just gonna find the right place so that can also create that loop and then basically these almost workers jump rings because they are actually so you can then open and close them now obviously you could also just use jump rings but I kind of like attaching these two covers together without jump rings just have it be the actual to cover shion's and obviously the frames but these can now open and close as a jump ring so all that's left to do now here what this one is attach these loose ends to the back of the frame so for that we'll need a short length again of 0.4 mil wire here and then it's no specific length really just a short left to work with then we just start in one place that's been really mad aware and we need to attach these loops to the back of the frame and it's gonna be to the very back wire because we have the four wires because the front ones are going to be going across the front of the cabochons so the back one is going to be left basically alone you could say so I'm just gonna go into one place here just gonna start with the bottom one and then you can just separate out that back wire a little bit just enough to be able to get the wire through here the point formula where well first of all we need to attach our wire so just get that through in between those two base wires so you can just start working here towards one end now you just want to wrap this around that base wire a few times to basically attach it you can't start this without the cabochons in it of course just remember to put it in before you kind of seal it and then you won't be able to get it in and then I just want to make sure that these wraps here become nice and tight you just want to do a few of these wraps sitting next to each other or coils you could say and then what you want to do is go in you can see I'm working down here towards where that first loop is you want to then go in and take the other end here and actually just catch on to that loop so that's also why I made them little loops because that means we can then use them to go through here with the point formula when were connecting them so like this and we have something to securely go through and then I wrap my point form the way here around the wire in the loop a few times same principle to make it secure so a bit like this and then I want to go back to the wire in the frame again so I'm kind of wrapping this in a figure of eight weave as well between the loop and the frame wire as I'm going from one to the other I'm now back under the frame wire so I can again wrap a few times around that just like I did when I attached it because you always have to make sure when you want to finish off a wire that you wrap it around ideally a single base wire a few times by itself which we did when we attached it and then I'm also doing now as I want to finish it off so we can get ready to cut off the excess wire and to do that I take my flush cutters here so I just do one at a time this one is coming from kind of behind the wrap so I just want to bring it around as if it was wrapping again but it isn't I'm just gonna go in and cut off the excess and then just that very end tuck it in so that basic it's tucked in between the base wires and obviously again so that end isn't going to catch or scratch or anything and here it's wrap in the opposite direction so cut off the excess leaving a short tail do then be able to tuck that in and nothing gets hidden away technically in between this base wire on the frame and the cabochons itself so just tuck that away and now that loop there is nicely and securely attached and of course all the stuff to do is if you've got more left of that length go in repeat with the rest of them and then the Capetian will be nicely secured from the back so now I finish the back and this is what it looks like and then the corrosion is in there more or less secure early but we can't just do some final adjustments because you just want to check though obviously it is completely secure so first of all at the top here if you find that these wires have moved too far out you maybe can just push them in over a little bit so obviously you can't sleep out at the top but also what I just want to do is at the bottom here I'm going to use these wires that are on the frame and just bring them in over the cowfish in slightly so just take one wire at a time there and put your nail down in between and just start pushing it in over and then it's really up to you how you want it to look how far in you want to kind of push it and then you can do the next one as well so you kind of separate them from each other which also adds a nice design feature cost the same on the other side to make them even and then the next one and then just see how they look need to adjust anything so just something a little bit like that so that is enough to let you just grab over the edge of the cabochon on both sides so that is all that's left just do any final adjustments like that and then this cabochon or this part of it is complete so now we made the first Capuchin here it is time to bring in the other one so obviously capture that but also make it so they'll end up being able to get connected so if we just bring in the sketch again you can see how it's gonna sit like I say I keep referring back to it we've done the bottom one and now it's time to do the top one so it's basically gonna be a lot of the same principles but we do have to just start a little bit differently obviously the shape is different but like I said this technique can be used for different shapes and sizes so it's not specific to having to use these ones here so as you can see we don't start with a point like we did with this teardrop shape so that's a little bit different but also we actually need to do connection points in it on the bottom side as well so let's get cracking with that so we then need another for length of 0.8 mill here to capture the second Capuchin and I'm just using the same length as the cabouchins are very similar in size and then we also need another length of a point for my wire here and this is about 1 meter and 25 centimeters so firstly we need to grab our base wires here and I'm just gonna pick out one of them so just grab one length put your loans aside for now out of the way and then we need to start making the loops that are going to connect to the cabochons we already made so they need to fit into these loops here so we need to make these loops at the midpoint of this way so we have about the same length left on either side so again I'm going to use my sick mm making plans to do that using that smaller step and then place your pliers on the wire roughly by the midpoint little bit to the side and then start bringing your wire around the pliers so we end up with a full circle like that just smooth out the wires as you're going now you can also just lighten this down to make sure it's laying flat on top of itself now we then need to make the next loop and just double check which side might be longer so for me that's this side here to the right of it so that means I need to play some pliers on that side of the first loop now here it's a matter of judging obviously where this loop needs to be so that's where you can place your pliers where you think it might be and grab your first koushin that you made and then basically place it where the first loop is that your you made and then obviously see how it's going to fit with the way apply as a sitting and that looks like it might not be too bad so that's going to fit pretty nicely then we need to make the next loop and again you just take that long tail on the other side and bring it around pliers so we end up getting a full circle again man you smooth out your way whenever you need to so the bet again both ends of the wire are still coming out in the same direction as they were when it was just a straight piece but we just added the loops in basically along the way and smoothing that out there and then we have the two loops now obviously we can just double check this so bring that first covering in again and see how they're gonna slot into each other because you can just adjust this a little bit I actually feel like I need to actually move them a little bit further apart for it to be completely perfect so to do that place your players except I can place here back in the loop and then we kind of basically want to roll the loop along the wire just a tiny little bit at a time so in this case I want to move this loop a little bit away from the first one so I'm gonna roll it in this direction so I kind of put my finger against the wire and just start rolling it a little bit now is it this way is gonna move with it but you just literally press that back to get it straight out so you can easily make slight adjustments like this if you just need to adjust the distance between them until we get it just right so it's gonna sit just nicely something a bit like that so now that we have the way with the two loops ready here we're happy with the distance between them we then need to bring in the other bass wires again so we need to basically line these up and we just need to do it in order because this is going to be you could say sandwich between some of the other wires now what we're gonna have is start with one of our straight wires then I'm gonna take this wire with the loops laying next to it and then we're gonna lay next to each other so basically the loops are gonna be kind of sticking out and away from them like that so just hold onto your wires here then I'm going to take the remaining two and place them after the wire with the loops so they're gonna lay flat next to each other like this and on this side there's no loop sticking out but on the other side is where the loops are sticking out and then we need to start attaching these together so just make sure that that wire the loop stays in the right position now because obviously all these wires are loose yet it could be a little bit fiddly to hold onto but this is where our point form will wire then comes into play so first of all we need to find the middle of this so I'm gonna get to the end and both ends rather of this point four mil and then that will give us the midpoint here because I'm gonna start wrapping this now around and that's also going to obviously be the mid point of the base wires so just hold onto the base wires we have the weaving wire here just double-check and making sure that wire with the loops is staying in the right position so I have one wire on one side and two wires on the other side of the wires without loops now all we're gonna do is wrap this wire around all of the base wires so I have it placed behind the base twice and I'm kind of holding onto that with my finger then gonna place it over the top of all of them to have them come back down behind again now this is where I also find it really helpful to use pliers while doing this to help one you maneuver the wiper also flatten the wire the weeding were hit against the base ways because we want to get this as neat as possible and then wrap again making sure it's next to the previous wrap something like that and again flatten that down against the base wires and also help push them together as you can see this is moving up and down there on the base wise we don't worry about that because obviously if that's all won't go any further than those loops but we'll keep wrapping like this and it's gonna get more and more solid push them together flatten it down and you're gonna start to find that after just a few wraps here it's becoming much easier to handle and the wires out moving around as much and just the important thing here is to make sure that these wraps are flat next to each other so they're not overlapping each other there and also that the base wires are staying flat next to each other so once you wrap that space between the two loops and you can't get any further because then obviously the loops are in the way to wrap all of them this way then just gonna do one side at a time and we then need to basically get a point formula wire here to the other side of the loop and this is coming down behind and what we're gonna do is only wrap around some of them so we're gonna wrap around the two straight ones that are on one side of the loop so the wire that's the loop itself and the one below it in this case here I'm not gonna wrap now so I'm just going to wrap around these two by themselves but same principle otherwise again use your pliers whenever you need to to tighten anything push things close together so basically we need to wrap for these two wires together until we get to the other side of the loop and of course you want to just do the same on the other side with the other length of the point formula just those top two why is there to get to the other side of the loop now you can see we have those wrapped then we just got to go back to wrapping all of them together again so just start one side at a time make sure they're all nice and flat and those loops are sticking out and we just go behind all of them and go back to wrapping all of them together just like we did in that mid section and then we just want to do this for a little bit and of course the same on the other side as well so now I worked on both sides here and then this is what it looks like these one make sure to wrap the same amounts there so the wire basically ends up in the same place on either side cuz obviously we want it to be even so if you imagine this is gonna be the lower part of the koushin so obviously we also need to start shaping this but the point that I've got to now is we also need to start adding some more design into it and also pat's is going to capture so if we look back on our sketch then we can see again obviously keep referring to that the two loops line up there and we reach the point where I want to start adding these loops over the top of the cabochon like we did in the first one down here that's going to help capture from this side so obviously can bring in the cabochons which is what recommend doing anyway now I just want to put stop with a slight curve into this as well so just lay this piece of wire that we just made here against the cabochons so the bottom side and just kind of shape it gently against just adding that curve into it just so we can confirm that this is where we want those loops that are going to go over the top to stop so just something a bit like this and then we need to start making those loops in the same way that we did with the first one so just leave the length of point for middle wire out of the way for now and then we want to pick out the very top of the base why's there make sure the wraps are as well a pushed as far down as they'll go and then picking out that top wire and bringing it up and over the top of itself to get that loop started and now remember I have the three next to each other and the first one is a small one so just keep bringing it down in size until you're happy with it and of course half the length here go back out the same way where came from so I think something a little bit like that it's a nice size maybe just tighten it a little bit more and then go on and make the next one so the middle loop again just get the wire over the top of itself and then this one is going to be larger bring the wire back out in the same direction and then again just judge how you want it to look it's completely up to you and then of course that last one is again a small one and try and get that the same as the first one as much as possible smooth it out and then we can just look at it and adjust it I need to open it back up a little bit we have something again also just always use your pliers whenever you need to and then bring it out and then just have a look and that doesn't look too bad so we have our three loops here and now of course before moving on go to the other side pick out that very top wire and basically do the exact same thing on this side so a small one large loop and then the small one again now we have all the loops in place here and we're happy with how they're sitting then it's time to continue to wrap more because we need to connect these loops as well together just like we did in that first one so just grab the point formula wire again and start wrapping around the wires now here it's the point where just need to see where we are just letting them out and I've got to a point where that I'm reaching that very first loop so what I need to do is right below it first of all so just around the bottom three wires not that top wire where the loop is so like this making sure the base White's a lot next to each other and basically we need to wrap until we get to the other side of the loop just going to use my chain nose pliers to help flatten everything out and push more wraps nice and close together and then just check where we are now I think just one or two more wraps and then we'll be on the other side of the loop well we can then start to incorporate the top wire again because we're then gonna be wrapping the four wires together and then that's in between that first and second loop and just do that a few times until you reach that next loop and it kind of stops you then right below that again and then after the loop wrap all the ways together in between them and then again wrap below the last loop so just like we did in the very first cabochon well we had these loops as well so now all the wires on both sides here are connected and I've wrapped after the very last loop on both sides and in my case here I've made sure to do four wraps so just make sure to do the same amount of wraps on both sides so it finishes nice and even now what I'm gonna do is actually finish off the excess of this weed and why because we are done using it now and Father I'm just gonna use some flush cutters here so I've got my piece and I want to make sure that the wire here finishes on the inside so obviously I've already started the shape a little bit the Commission is gonna sit like this so I want to make sure that the weaving wife finishes on this inside part of all these space wires because that way it's gonna be out of the way and stop between the wires and the cabochon so it's not going able to catch our scratch or anything so just make sure you've done your last wrap and you're happy with how everything is sitting then I take my flush cutters and then on the inside here what I do is go in and cut off the excess but just about in the middle as it's going across so there is an end there sticking out on the back and I'm then gonna push that down nice and flat and then the end of the wires is finished nicely there on the back and of course just do the same thing on the other side as well so now we have those that other way so they're not gonna be bothering us anymore then I want to just bring the cabochons back in because I want to just continue shaping my ways here around the cabochons and the best way to do that is simply just using the cabbage in itself because obviously that way it's kind of almost as a template for what you need because you need it to follow the shape of the cabochons so I'm just gonna take make sure it lays in the middle here hold on to everything and then just keep shaping the side ways here so all of them at the same time around the side of the cabochons so just further around holding the couch as much as possible you can see those little loops there over the top of the cabochons still hugging it from the front I'm capturing it nicely but at the same time adding some decoration so that's one side make sure the loops there in the middle then go to the other side and do the same thing so we're now just bringing it in to shape more with the actual cone itself bringing all these wires up towards the top shaping around the Commission here so something a little bit like this and you can see obviously any adjustments you want to make just do that until you're happy with how this is shaped around the cone then it's time to deal with these wires on the top so just picked up the wires and the cabochons and then now because we do have those loops at the front that does help keep it in place more obviously the back is still open as well but I'm just gonna kind of hold it in place here best I can and then I want to start shape these wires now I have them all laying flat next to each other so I'm just gonna grab hold of them and start where they're coming up from the very final wraps they're just start putting a bit more of a curve into them kind of bringing them a little bit in over the front of the cover sure so so you can see something like that and then you can kind of just what position whenever you need to just focus on one at a time and kind of bring them in over a little bit more and separate them out a little bit so so the very first one will be coming in over the furthest kind of the same principle again as on the first cabochon we did but obviously that was after we secure it in place in this case everything is still open and loose but just separate out the wires a bit basically making sure some of them come a bit in over the edge of the cabochons and then and put it back in place and then bring them further around now I wanted to basically reach towards just a bit before the middle of the cabochon because then I'm gonna start again grab all of them and start bringing them around to go down behind the back of the cabochons trying to make sure that they stay slightly some of them they're in front another cabochon so just take your time bring them down towards the back and now you can also then if you feel like it's a little bit too fiddly and you have some things in place just take the cabochons out and then that'll help get a better grip sometimes just smooth out the wires here for them to be coming downwards but there's still laying flat next to each other as you can see I'm just putting the cabochons back in so something a little bit like that and now obviously that's just one side just push it flat against the commission can always adjust at mas or nothing's final yet as you can see sometimes these wires here that we brought in over the front a little bit it might kind of sneak back because we're kind of pulling at the wire so just put your nails in between them and just kind of pull them down gently again bringing them a bit further in again over the cabochons and separating them out there but then I'm gonna kind of swap this around tomorrow let's just do the same thing on the other side here so try and hold everything in place and then start to bring the wires a little bit in over the coercion I'm putting a bit more of curve into them you could say and then before you quite reached the middle there start bringing them towards the back but continue to have them flat next to each other now don't forget I just want to separate them out a little bit from each other and also bring them in over the front of the cabochons to make sure of that so obviously get the two sides to look as similar as possible as well and then otherwise do the same thing of keeping hold of them and then bringing them around the back of the cabochon and have them from more or less straight down to sit next to the other ones so we kind of achieve a little something like that obviously just want to adjust it a little bit again smooth out your wires if you need to and then now you just want to take your time to have a look at anything see how it looks and sits of course I just need to pull these like I did on the other side forward a little bit again because they're kind of snuck back a little bit as we pull the wires so just do any adjustments here until you feel it looks pretty symmetrical and obviously we have all the way then coming down on the back ending up next to each other something a little bit like this all flat next to each other now before we then start securing anything here in the back what we just need to do is one final thing because as you can see right now we don't have any way of attaching a chain or anything so we need to just make sure to add some loops at the top so again I get my trusty six step on making pliers using that same step to get some nice consistent loose then basically I just want to first decide where one I'm going to make the loop kind of on either side of the Commission and we're going to use the very outer wire on either side so that's these two here so I'm just gonna do one side at a time decide where I want the loop to sit and then place my pliers on the wire in that place and then I just want to separate that wire out stop bringing it all the way around the pliers all the way to make a full circle there something like that and then we just want to bring this wire basically back in more or less into the position it was so just bring it back into that shape and back down to again join up with the other ones and be the outer wire as you can see we just added that loop in but the wire is then back in its position of course you just want to do the same thing with the loop on the other side make it as symmetrical as possible so place your pliers create your loop and then bring the wire back in with the other ones so we prepared our loops here so we can obviously a touch where we really want to and this is more or less how the Commission is gonna sit am you captured not obviously all this left to do is secure the back here so just make sure everything is sitting how you want it to and what we need to do in order to do that it's cut another length of a point four mil and I have a length of about 50 centimetres here now that's just what I'm using obviously if you're using different materials then it yours might be different so I'm gonna grab a piece here and I'm just gonna remove my cover show this cuz there's no point in fiddling around too much if you don't need to and basically the aim is to attach all these together so first of all just make sure that the nice and straight so start enough that when you lay them next to each other here it looks nice and then I'm gonna grab my point formal wire and I'm gonna place that in behind all these base wires so just kind of slide it in between there and just leave a little tail so you have that to hold on to now we kind of just need to separate our a little bit because I want to start wrapping just the two very middle wires so what we can do is just separate them out just a little bit so the very bottom here can I just turn some of the others out of the way so they're a little bit easier to access so something a bit like that you can see I have them here in the middle they also happen to be the shorter ones because they are the ones that we use to make those loops with so again just slide my weaving wire in underneath them and then I'm gonna come up underneath the bottom of the two and I just want to get my wire up a little bit not all the way up and like pull them really tight to each other but just where they kind of start meeting each other and then it's the same principle as we've done in other places we just want to start wrapping these two together laying flat next to each other and obviously it's a little bit more fiddly because we have this framework behind it but just do the best you can and whenever you need to use your pliers to help flatten out those base wires so they stay flat next to each other so I'm gonna wrap around these two by themselves just start connecting them and also making sure my wraps are close together and it's up to you really how much you want to do this I'm gonna do about five wraps or so obviously also depends on the materials that are using and just how you want it to look so now I have my five first wraps they're around the two middle wires then I have my weaving wire coming down behind otherwise I didn't bring it up underneath and between these wires here to wrap around again because now I'm going to do a bring in the next set of wires so this means the next one out on both sides so you can just kind of bring them back into it straighten them back up so we can kind of focus on the wires that were working with something bit like that then I'm gonna bring it up underneath that one to come up between two wires here and then go over the top of now these four wires but still making sure that my raps are laying flat next to the previous ones and then come down behind them again and again use your flat nose or chain nose to help you along making sure everything gets nice and flat and even and same principle here I'm just gonna do in my case is the same amount of wraps to get it fairly symmetrical and once I wrap them I'm just gonna bring the next wires into it you can kind of see a pattern here we just gradually bring in a wire on each side into the process and then wrap over the top of all of them making sure everything is nice and flat next to each other flattening everything down here and then do the same amount reps here and of course we'll get into the point where we just have one left on either side that we haven't brought in now of course they also just get brought in in the same way so bring them in to sit next to everything else and then just make sure everything stays flat here and then wrap over the top of all of them and then obviously since this is the middle one the wraps that we're doing you can either do the same matter wrap so you could do different amount of wraps and it kind of depends as well on your piece because we also need to think about the space that we had left below where the wraps are because we need to decrease again but we still also the need to have some space below here where we wrapped for finishing off the base wires as well so I just made our five wraps there and like I said we now need to start stepping down again because you can see we kind of stepped up here so that means we just do all the same things but in Reverse so it means instead of bringing the two outer ones into the piece I'm going to separate them back out so just kind of pull them out and away a little bit here now you can do it a bit more all the way from where they're coming out from the wraps it's something a little bit like that because then what I'm gonna do is go back to just wrapping around the remaining wise in here so we separated those out we just caught them basically when we did that previous wrap that we just did then just go around these wires again and again I just like doing it the same amount of times to make it as consistent and symmetrical as possible and then of course same principle would just continue in the same way separating out one wire on either side so just push them more out of the way so we can just focus on the other ones and then just go in and just wrap those and basically continue like this until we're back down to only having wrapped around the two very middle ones which are also those shorter ones so this is how it's looking now that I reached down to those two middle wires and I wrapped them as well and you can see also separating out all those otherwise along the way it's also kind of getting them into position where we're actually gonna finish them off so just kind of separate them out fairly evenly like that now because we are now done using this point formula wire I'm gonna get rid of the excess so I'm just gonna flip it around it because again I want to finish this on the inside because if you imagine obviously the cabochons is gonna sit inside of there so it's actually gonna be between the back of the cabochon and where these wraps are so I'm just gonna do the top one and the bottom one cut off the excess and then just flatten down the end and of course the same with the bottom one you just get your players in there then we've got rid of our point four mill wire here as well and we don't need to worry about the ends again caching or scratching on anything because they're nicely hidden away so we now have a frame done here and all that's left is to finish off these ends really about 0.8 mil lengths of wire but obviously in doing that we're also going to connect this backpack to the frame so obviously it becomes kind of locked in place but before I completely do that and before I add in my cabochons I'm gonna finish off and cut down these lengths so what I'm going to be doing is basically making little loops if we look at the first one we did I'm actually going to be doing the same principle of ending the wire with a little loop there so again you can also do something different obviously it's completely up to you but I'm going to cut off the excess so I'm left with a short length again rather cut off too little because you can always cut off more and then about the same on the other side the thing that's about there and then go further down so just cut off so we get these lengths shorter so once you cut them down I'm gonna do is grab my six doubling implies again you can also use round nose pliers it's up to you and we start going in and creating those loops on the ends so again I'm just using the smallest step get them right at the end and then start to bring them inwards all the way until the end meets up with itself just flatten that up so it can sit a little something like that and obviously it's up to you how you want this to look and sit so if you want it to be closer in then you can go in and cut off a bit more of the very tip and then roll it some more but otherwise go to the other side do the loop on that side because obviously I want to get the mathematical as possible so just flatten that down and have a look and see if it looks about right bring that up so they sit evenly that does actually look pretty alright so it looks like I don't need to go in and cut anything off of there but you just want to go around all of the ends here and adding in these loops and I just prefer doing them in the same direction if you kind of have a line down the center so on this side here I'm bringing all the loops in the same direction so kind of upwards and inwards and then the same on the other side upwards and inwards then just adjust them until you're happy with how it all looks and their minds ended up looking something like this but like I said you can really have this look however you want to you can also have them come further out and create kind of a different shape now what we need to do is before we attach anything here we obviously need to add the cabochons so I just want to check see I think I wanted to sit like this so these loops kind of cover this part of the cabochons so I'm just going to slip it in from the back here it slides right into place and then all the stuff to do is attach some of these loops to the bottom part of the frame here now what you can also do is before doing this add in the caption you could also attach all these loops together if you want to if you feel like it's needed but I personally don't feel it's really necessary for the security because this will be enough to hold it so what I'm going to do is this loop here so the kind of one in the corner you could say or the ones next to the two in the middle are the ones there are the closest to where first of all the loops are in the frame but where those loops are in the frame we have a little bit of gap because if you remember we wrapped on the other side of the loop and then left a bit of bare wire and one of the the single base wire and the other side of the loop so there's a little bit of a gap there so I'm going to choose these specific loops to be the ones that connect to the frame so I'm just going to take a length of point four mil here just a short length it doesn't have to be anything very long because it's not a whole lot we gonna be using maybe about twenty or thirty centimeters or so obviously it depends as well but then what we need to do first of all is attach this to the loop so I'm just gonna go around here a few times now it can be a little bit fiddly cos obviously we have less space to work with because the cabochon is in place as well but just do your best I'm just wrapping it around first of all to attach it and then we need to wrap it a few times before we do anything else so never just a single wrap we want to do it a few times now what a friend can help quite often is just get my chain nose is actually creating a little bit of a hook on the end of the wire cuz you can then feed it in and it'll come right back out the other side of the wire I find that very often helps I supposed to have in just a straight end oops just got caught up there just got caught up again but like I said just wrap around here a couple of times so this wire is attached and once you have it touched I'm going to take the other end and then it's attached to the loop now then I'm going to go down to the gap I have in the frame and then feed my wire through it just get it in position now you can see it come through at the back there it's time to come out now it's only a little bit of its showing so I'm gonna just take my chain nose and grab it with that it's a little bit easier instead of fooling around trying to use my fingers and then pull it all the way tight so basically that attaches the loop to the frame now if you can and just test this here if you can get you wire through that gap again I do recommend doing this more than once but it might be a little bit tight in the framework so if you can just test it first let's see if I can get my wire through it doesn't appear like I can so I might just have to accept just doing it the ones here but if you can like I said try and repeat this step at least another time but then I'm going to go back to the loop here to again make sure it kind of gets reinforced and then just wrap around the way in the loop a couple of times like we did when we attached it because we need to make sure we have a few wraps just around a single base wire before we can finish off the weaving wire so we can see we have the attachment there looking something like that so like I said it's kind of work with what you have and what your possibilities are and how yours has ended up and of course we need to then get rid of the excess here just see what direction my wire that I've just used is coming around from the back and if I was going to do another wrap I needed to go down through but I'm not gonna I'm just gonna bring it around as if I was gonna do another wrap and then I'm gonna cut off the excess but leaving a short little tail because what I then do is take my chain nose and then push it in and basically make it continue that wrap so the very end actually gets on the inside of the wire more against the cabochons so like that and of course there's the other end as well I'm gonna see what direction that's coming in cut off the excess and then just push it and tuck it away to make sure that absolutely nothing sticks out so I can sketch and scratch on any clothes or skin so that's how you attach now of course if you have enough left in the length that you cut off you can just use that for the loop on the other side but that is the same principle attach your wire to the loop first then do the connection if you can more than once and then come up and finish the wire off on the loop and then once you've done that you Capuchin should be in there nicely and securely so this is what it looks like on the back it's full attached and the cabochons is in there nice and securely it's not coming out whatsoever and then this is what it looks like on the front you can see a really nice effect so all this have to do now because we've made both of them is to attach them together so these loops here are closed loops if you remember when we made them but these loops are actually open so I'm not going to be using jump rings to attach them together I'm actually just going to use the loops from cells so you just want to open these up and then get obviously the other cabochons put it into place connect them together here and then close back close early looks back up here and make sure to do it nice and securely so there's no gap just like you would do if it was a jump ring obviously nice and secure so they can't just detach from each other and then they are now attached and it has a nice movement to it as well a nice dangle even though it's not jump rings used or anything it still loops attached together though then all this left to do obviously is attach the chain as well that I'm just gonna be doing by using a jump ring so I'm gonna open that up and I've already cooked my chain ready I then used to separate lengths of chain but at the same length so I have one length and then I have the other length because obviously we have two loops in this cover shin so it's not just one length of chain so put the jumping through the loop and the cabochons that's obviously the top cabochons and if I can just get the chain through it as well so add the chain close the jump ring back up make sure that's gonna be nice and secure as well something like that of course do the other side as well and on the other end of the chain I'm just gonna add my clasp and then once you've done this you have your finished pendant with two capetians ready to wear so this was a bit of a long one but I really wanted to make sure that I went through all the details and also showed you the process of how I make some of my pieces and this one in the case all the way from when I did the original sketch because I don't always catch up my pieces before I make them but sometimes I find it really useful and basically heaven that's a template while I'm then making my pace and don't forget if you make this piece or anything from any of my other tutorials I would love to see them if you want to share them with me so you can always tag me on social media you'll find links to the ones that I mount in the description box down below otherwise I really hope you enjoyed this tutorial thank you so much for watching it and I'll see you in the next one [Music] [Music]
