TIPS:
Depending on the size bubble loop you want, cut 20-24" of wire. Wrap the wire around a glass for a round bubble loop.

For added stability, loop the wire back through the wire wrapped star before adding the holiday lampwork beads to the wire.

The designer removed the wire around the star at the base of the handle.

See our Beaded Head & Eye Pin Technique Sheet for creating nice head-pin loops.
