✨ TESSILAND STUDIOFrequently Asked Questions about Jewelry Bases to Cover
How do you cover metal bases for jewelry?
Wind the yarn, leather or chosen material around the base's structure, passing through the attachment points until the desired surface is covered, then secure the start and end with a knot or a dab of glue.
What materials can you use to cover the bases?
Cotton or wool yarn, leather or faux leather, raffia, cord and metallic or lurex threads all work well: the material you choose changes the character of the finished piece.
Are bases to cover also suitable for earrings?
Yes, Small and Medium sizes in circle, drop and heart shapes are perfect for light, matching earrings.
What's the difference between Big, Medium and Small sizes?
The sizes refer to the base's dimensions: Big is the largest, ideal for pendants and decorations with a large surface to cover; Medium and Small are better suited to earrings and smaller details.
What else do you need besides the base to finish a pendant or earring?
After covering the base, you need an eye pin or jump ring to hang it from a chain, a hoop for earrings, or a clasp to close the necklace.
