In today's video, we're going to talk about how to make a perfectly symmetrical wrapped loop connector. I use these connectors frequently to securely attach pendants and clasps to chains and for sturdy earrings that will never fall apart. You can also use these connectors as links for rosary-style chains, which work beautifully for necklaces and bracelets. Making a wrapped loop connector is one of those wirework basics skills that every jewelry maker needs to master, no matter what kind of jewelry you make. And learning to make your wrapped loop connectors perfectly symmetrical will instantly improve the quality of your work. So, whether you're a wire weaver, a beader, a resin artist or even a leatherworker or a metal clay artisan, this skill will be useful for you.
