Back to Basics - how to make wrapped loops
A free video tutorial teaching you how to make wrapped loops, perfect for necklaces and bracelets
About the Tutorial
Wrapped loops are one of those small jewellery-making techniques that you'll find yourself using again and again.
They're perfect for attaching beads, pendants and charms securely, while giving your jewellery a neat, professional finish.
In this back-to-basics tutorial, I'll show you how to form a tidy wrapped loop step by step, so you can use the technique confidently in all sorts of future projects. This video is taken from the Bird on a Branch Hollow Form Necklace class - coming soon!
This is just one in a growing collection of free tutorials. You can enrol on each one individually or enrol on the whole bundle so that you don't miss out on new classes!
The Back to Basics - how to make wrapped loops tutorial is also part of The Jeweller's Bench membership. This is the best way of enjoying and learning from all the classes on The Jeweller's Bench, with more classes added each month. Find out more here

Joanne Tinley
Tutor and Founder of The Jeweller's Bench
The Jeweller's Bench is run by Joanne Tinley. She has been making her own jewellery for as long as she can remember and left her first career as a school teacher to set up business as a jewellery designer and tutor nearly 20 years ago. She is
self-taught and like many people started with wire and beads. Learning how to solder, however, opened up a whole new world of jewellery making, one that she is keen to share!
