How To Make Wire Wrapped Jewelry:7 Free Tutorials

86

By Jamie Brock

I am absolutely amazed at some of the awesome wire wrapped jewelry I've been seeing lately online. Of course, I tried to get out there and see what freebies I could find but these free tutorials were a little bit harder to gather up as I noticed many are selling their wire wrapped jewelry tutorials for as little as 2.00. I still figured I could get a few free ones and so I did manage to get at least 7 of them all together in one place and a bonus one for a lovely DIY wire clasp. All of the sites I found these on are amazing so please do try to check them out. If you are a craft nut like me, you will be glad you did. I really do hope you enjoy these free wire wrapped jewelry tutorials!

Have some vintage buttons lying around that you don't know what to do with? Make vintage button wire wrapped rings by Rachel at Holy Craft! You have to admit, aren't these so cute? You could make a bunch of these up and sell them in your craft booth at the flea market or make them as gifts. I just love the look of these rings.

I know this isn't a finished piece of jewelry but it is used to make a finished piece and couldn't pass up sharing this as it's just such a pretty handmade clasp.

starstream, Thank you for stopping by and for the vote.. I really appreciate it. I have yet to try my own wire wrapped jewelry except for just playing around with some wire now and again.. I still plan on starting a serious project though. As you said, I still have to make sure I have the correct tools, wire etc.. I know that is all very important. Thank you again for stopping by. Did you mean to leave a link for me or did you mean you have a beaded tutorial here on HubPages?

I have made a few pieces of wire wrap jewelry. The hubs are available and it is surprising more people do not try the craft. When you prepare remember that it truly is a craft which means focus to materials, tools, and time to practice is very important. I have seen some spectacular work at art shows using this technique. I voted your hub up. I wrote an article on beaded jewelry here.

Wow, these are some gorgeous pieces! I took a one-time class on making wire wrapped earrings...then managed to lose one of the earrings I made within a week - I was so bummed! But it was a fun class:)
