WIRE WRAPPING TUTORIAL - Spherical Objects, Marbles, Crystal Balls

In this fun, step by step wire wrapping tutorial, you will learn a wonderful way to wrap spherical objects such as your favorite crystal balls, gemstone spheres, glass marbles, tumbled (near round) stones... musket balls even! These are spherical objects with no holes, so in other words, this is not a bead wrap. The tutorial assumes you have some weaving experience, but the close-up video will guide you regardless of skill level.
You will use 1 wire to create the cage frame and then use weaving wire to capture the sphere within it. I hope you enjoy it! Please leave a comment and let me know how you did! Subscribe to my channel and strike the Bell to be notified when I post new projects!
Materials:
I am using a 17mm glass marble - a spherical object. ;)
18 inches of 18 gauge, round, dead soft copper wire - frame wire.
5 feet of 28 gauge, round, dead soft copper wire - weaving wire.
Tools:
Flush cutter
Round nose pliers
Chain link or bent nose pliers

I made a really basic version of your design using 16 gauge square copper wire. I wrapped 7 times in two places on each side of the palm root ball. Then I wrapped the wires along the loop with the loop with 22 gauge half round wire. That’s it. Then made a jump ring with some scrap 16 gauge square copper wire to thread a cord through. I am terrible at wire weaving, but wanted to do something with the palm root balls I have and this was perfect. Thanks for making this video and your work is always beautiful.

Thanks so much Kathryn! It sounds like you did an amazing job on your creation and I'm glad the video helped out a bit. Great modifications! I love that you made it work for your wrap!

Okay, friends! Here is what I hope to be some inspiring ideas about these wire wrapped crystal balls and marbles... They are great for a wire wrapped jewelry pendant, yes! They are also great as earrings... great for a wire wrapped cat or doggie charm, great for DIY bookmarks... Put a hook on the end of them and use them on the holiday tree as sparkly wire wrapped Christmas balls (Dollar store, glass marbles!) Have fun and let me know what you do with the ones you're making!
