We offer beautiful gemstone strands from Dakota Stones that are filled with lovely beads to use in all kinds of designs. One way to showcase these gemstones in your designs is to dangle them from earrings. Cheri simply created messy wrapped loops to make quick earrings out of these Mardi Gras impression jasper gemstones. You can see more ideas for simple wire-wrapping in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
Cut two feet of 20 gauge Silver Artbeads Designer Wire and use it to make a wrapped loop at the top of a Dakota Stones Mardi Gras impression jasper 17x43mm stick bead. Since the bead is top-drilled, you will be working with both ends of the wire to create the loop. Wrap the excess wire around the top of the bead for a messy wrap look.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
