Question:

When doing a wrap, your wire wrapping book says to “secure the ends”.  How do I do that?

Answer:

Without knowing which pattern you are referring to, I can only tell you that securing wire ends can be done in several ways. Sometimes by adding a slight curve on to the end and then hooking it around another wire and then crimping the curve closed will work, while other times a wire end can be slightly bent and actually inserted between other wires and/or a stone or bead and then pushed tightly into place.

    Alot of times securing your wire is after you are useing a 1/2 round wire in a wrap. If this is the case, I cut the wire to end in the middle of whatever you are wrapping, then you cut it at a angle so it sloops down and then pinch the wire tightly against the other wires. Hope that helps.
