Wire-wrapped Copper Rings

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Mod


Materials

Copper Wire Various Glass Beads

What was your inspiration?

Up until a few weeks ago, I had only basically created beaded jewelry! I always admired the skill and creativity of wire-wrappers; but thought it was much to difficult for me to grasp. A few weeks ago, a local community art center began holding a series of classes on wire-work. My inspiration has come from my newly obtained knowledge :-D

What are you most proud of?

I am proud of how the rings are turning out, they are beautiful!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Never underestimate your creativity, and always have patience!

This is a beautiful ring! You inspire me to try more wire-work as I love rings but don't like the ring findings you can purchase. Well done - could you offer a Craftsy class and share what you have learned with all of us? Classes in jewellery-making techniques are not as widely available here in the UK as they are in the US.

I truly appreciate your compliments, but I am just new to wire-wrapping as well! I do not feel confident enough to offer a class or tutorial as of right now, but I will try to post some links for you within the next few days!
