5 Wire-Wrapping Techniques in 1 Floral Bar Necklace with Jem Hawkes

Today, Jem will be showing us how to create a beautiful necklace using a Floral Bar technique using a variety of wire gauges. This beautiful necklace is perfect for intermediate wire-wrappers to test their skills. Learn how to create this element step by step with instruction from the Wire-Wrapping Wonder Woman herself, Jem Hawkes.
