Tutorial: Simple Wire Wrap for Head and Eye Pins

There are probably as many different ways of wrapping an eye or head pin as there are flowers in the world and every artist you speak to has her own way or a particular favorite technique.

When I first learned how to wrap a head pin for a simple bead charm (you know, back in the stone age), it involved twisting my wrist in a very odd way. It worked, but after wrapping 10 or 20 charms, it started to get painful.

What I really love about this wire wrapping tutorial from beadaroo.com is the clear instructions and pictures and no funky hand position.

Now, go bead something!
