As you master this simple braiding technique you will be able to create a variety of different looks just by varying the wires you choose. It is worked around a center base spine similar to a viking knit but in essence is much easier. You can also make small components to use in different projects or create a beautiful neckband. We will demonstrate several options for finishing your own pieces and will also teach you how to make your own end caps from any wire.
