Wrapping Stone Set 3 : the Pendant

Why is the wrapping stone set 3 a pendant, not a necklace?
Part of the reason is my laziness, but a wrapping stone necklace can be done by just expanding the wrapping stone bracelet, which is the next post.

Picking elements intentionally
In order to give another little feature, this pendant is born.
The little feature is the center. By the way, I did take some time to pick the stones I wanted before wapping them.

Wrapping Stone Set 2: the earrings

The second post of the wrapping stone set is the earrings.
Actually I've made all the others ready, but will post in the future so that I can have a relaxing mind.

The main part is just like the theme "Wrapping Stone", besides that, each has some little feature.

You can keep noticed by liking my page or following pinterest board.
I do not tweet for some time, for it's not a great way to show photos and it would be simpler for me. It's really hard and time-comsuming to market. At this moment, all I can do is to keep creating.

Wrapping Stone Set 1: the Ring

This is the first one of the wrapping stone set.
I plan to post once a week, so the whole set will be finished in about one month.
The set includes: ring, earrings, necklace, bracelet, and one another.

Here is the wrapping stone ring:

How to wrap a multi-hole stone.

Below is the tutorial on how to wrap a multi-hole stone. 

Materials you need:

1. A Theme stone: The black stone used is quite thin. Do not choose a thick one.
2. 22 gauge copper wire about 20 cm
3. some beads for decoration

Tools you need:

1. A Driller
2. Cutter
3. Flat-nose pliers

 Steps:

1. Choose your theme stone. Do not pick a very heavy stone. It would be too heavy for you to wear after adding the weight of beads.
2. Drill holes about 1 mm wide, spacing about 5 mm. Adjust the spacing by the sizes of your beads.
3. Drill a bigger hole at the top.
4. Thread the wire into the middle hole.
5. Thread one bead and pull the wire going through the next hole from the other side.
6. Repeat step 5 for each hole.
7. Coil and cut excess wire.

Two-hole stone with wire flower wrapping necklace

The stone is colorful. I did not do much to the stone surface.
Two holes is always much more solid and durable no matter how you wrap a stone.

As for the wire end, I left it this way, which is filed carefully.

The stone is not thick and easy to drill.
Pulling both sides to test, the flower decoration is durable to some extend.

Solid Wiring Stripes Bracelet

A bracelet have to be stronger.

In wire jewelry, I think that a bracelet needs more solid components to form.

The wiring stripes are made strong. Each piece needs about 18 cm. So 8 pieces will totally cost 144 cm to form the bracelet.

If combining more wiring pieces, you will get a necklace. I have been wanting to make something like this for long. Last night, I saw someone on TV wearing a stripe-shaped necklace. Then I draw a draft, and make the idea a reality.

Source of inspiration

What people wear on the screen is also a source of inspiration. Someone in those occasions will always think more than twice on what to wear.

The funny wrapped marble

I found a marble in my room, wondering from where it comes.

The toy marble provides happy playing to children, including me.

The glass ball still looks so cute even from an adult view. Children could be content and happy with really little.

Have you ever thought of wearing marbles?
I turned the marble into a part of jewelry by wrapping it with one piece, making a loop by the wire itself. It becomes a pendant. In order to show  more part of the marble, I wrapped it in a loose type, not tight. The light goes through the glass ball. It's a funny marble pendant. It can be attached on your key chain ring. The marble can survive from forceful pushing.

The light goes through the marble.
