Default Basic wire wrap bead tut?

I need a very basic tutorial for connecting beads together to make things like bracelets and earrings. I have head and eye pins, but I love the look of handmade wrapped wire. I took a class at a (then) local bead shop, but we've moved out of state and I can't do it again. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you!

You tube has a lot of wire wrapping tutorials. Start there. Use copper to practice. It's cheap.

Pretty much any Bead magazine has wire wrapping instructions.

Thank you everyone. I did find a really great one and it also recommended copper to start with. That's a great idea.

I have one I did here ages ago Alexis, scroll down to where you see the wire on the round pliers and that bit might be helpful to you.

Also, if you've got like $7 to spare search eBay for 'All Wired Up' by Mark Lareau, it's the book I learned from and still, I think, the best teacher out there.
