Jem Hawkes is showing us how to make a beautiful wire-wrapped sun pendant using beads from the new JJB Goddess Collection! This collection features large bead mixes inspired by goddesses from cultures around the world. Today, Jem will be using the Hemera bead mix, inspired by the Grecian goddess of Day and the personification of Daytime.

We will be using some chain nose pliers, flush cutters, round nose pliers or bail makers, and some flat pliers. We will be wrapping with 18 gauge round wire, you can work with German or Artistic wire, we recommend using a medium temper wire for this project. Keep in mind that while wire-wrapping we will be warming the wire with our hands in order to make it more pliable to work with.

What You'll Need:

Beads Components  Tools
Goddess Bead Mix in Hemera 18 Gauge Round Wire Cutting Tool
Chain Nose Pliers
Flat or Bent Nose Pliers
Round Nose or Bail Making Pliers
