Tutorial 007: Fat-wrap bead

Solution:
To become independent of washers, you can use a triple overlapping wrap on each side.

Step 1: Start by wrapping a loop using the round-nosed pliers. While keeping the loop still hooked on to the pliers, wrap the wire like you normally would towards the bead.

Step 2: Instead of cutting the wire, continue wrapping, this time over the previous wrap, towards the direction of the nose of the pliers.

Step 3: Wrap again, this time overlapping the two previous wraps, towards the bead. This forms three layers of wraps.
