57. I love the wire wrapping!

I’ve been trying to do this myself, but much less successfully that you! The seashell is especially pretty, and would be great for me since I live by the beach. I was given an antique (broken) chandelier and removed all of the crystal pieces and the glass sconces, and tried to wire wrap some of the largest crystals to make Christmas ornaments. They looked “decent” (not great) but I brought them to several craft fairs and had them listed for $1, which was quite low since lone crystals of that size usually sell for around $5 at flea markets, so they must have looked less appealing than I thought. 🤷🏼‍♀️ May I ask what kind of wire you are using? I really would like to do this!
