A Smiley Wire Wrapped Beaded Necklace Tutorial Posted: 10 Oct 2012 04:00 AM PDT Quiet Lion on Cut Out and Keep was inspired by Anthropologie's Perched Harmony necklace enough to make her own to wear.  Instead of gemstones, she used glass beads. The tutorial is a good lesson for anyone wanting to try a bit of wire wrapping. I would use 18G wire for the foundation piece and hammer the ends well.  I also recommend a metal hole puncher - a very hand tool indeed to have for making holes where none existed before! Believe me, it is a lot easier than making it double wired as I did for my own necklace below. There is also another less curved version in my shop which sold. The all in a row approach is a fairly common one. See link below.
