In this video, designer Jem Hawkes is here to share how to create a herringbone-wrapped bead. This wire-working technique can take some practice - but she'll help you through and you'll be ready to DIY in no time! This technique has a stunning look and is a wonderful match for these snake-inspired beads.

For this tutorial, we will be using these beautiful pink beads from the Year Of The Snake collection from Jesse James Beads paired with 16 and 20-gauge round wire. You will also need to have on-hand round nose pliers, bent nose pliers, and a wire-cutting tool of your choice. 

What You'll Need:

All Heart,
