Border Wraps with Round Wire

How to make a border wrap using round wire.

In this video I (Szarka) describe how to bundle round wires for a border wrap. A border wrap is a techbnique in wire wrapped jewelry to capture a cabochon. Usually square wire is used but I like the look of the design elements I can create with round wire and it sometimes can be unruly in this application.

There are many videos on youtube demonstrating border wraps and how to do them completely. This video only covers one aspect or variation on a border wrap.
