Wrapping a Teardrop Stone | Simple Wire Wrapping Tutorial

Teardrop stones are one of the most beautiful shapes to work with — but they can feel a little tricky to secure and balance. In this tutorial, I walk you through how I approach wrapping a teardrop shape, focusing on creating a clean frame, gentle movement, and a secure finish without overcomplicating the design. This is a calm, step-by-step process that you can adapt to your own stones and style.
