You can extend the wraps over the top of your bead to get the look of a bead cap. Wrap the wire tail around the stem, covering the stem between the loop and the top bead. But, instead of trimming the excess wrapping wire extend the wraps over the top of your bead.

1 On a head pin (I made this one with a 4-in. (10 cm) piece of 20-guage wire).
Make the first half of a wrapped loop (Basics). |
2 Cut a two-link piece of chain. Attach the bead unit to a link and complete the wraps.
Continue wrapping the wire over the top of the bead. |
3 Open the loop of an earring wire (Basics).
Attach the dangle and close the loop.
Make a second earring.
