Wire Wrapping Tutorial - Mini Micro Cab Wraps, One Wire, Beginner

Learn this easy, one wire, cabochon wire wrap for all your small to tiniest stones without holes! This wrap is designed for cabochons that are 10mm to 6mm in size with a thickness of about 4mm. The wire gauge recommended is 18 gauge, which is large enough to ’tension’ or ’pressure’ wrap these mini stones and hold them securely.

Add a jump ring and turn these into cute little chocker pendants! Use them as charms for your favorite beaded necklace or bracelet! Enjoy the inspiration!
