But hopefully it will give you an idea of where to start. Have fun! Wirewrapped bail I used 20g wire on mine, but you can use any gauge of wire that will fit and look the best with your piece. Start with a straight piece of wire (about 6") and run it through the pendant. Now just cross the wires, making sure that the meeting point is centered over the top of your pendant.

Grip the end of the wire at the base of the round nose pliers' nose. Rotate the pliers to wrap the wire around one prong of the pliers.

When you are about to complete the first rotation, rather than allowing the wire to form a complete loop adjust the wire so that it forms another layer, or coil, above the first one on the pliers (see picture).
