If you want to make your own wire-woven bead cap you can buy step-by-step instructions today! Now you will be able to make this intricate design with no difficulty. Although it is described as an advanced project, my instructions are clear and detailed enough for those with intermediate wire skills.

This is a list of materials and tools you will need to make the bead cap:
4 inches of 18-gauge sterling silver hard wire
1 foot of 20-gauge sterling silver dead soft wire
5 feet of 30-gauge sterling silver dead soft wire
one pear-shaped bead sized 0,9 inch long x 0,5-0,2 inch wide, drilled with a hole large enough for 18-gauge wire, may also be oval or nugget-shaped.
round nose pliers
chain-nose pliers
flat-nose pliers
