…compilation of tutorials
I really like wire jewelry and therefore the wire heart fits my interests well ;-)
Here I found somebody who shows her wire heart, beautiful, isn’t it?
My list grows looonger! ;-)

I saw the instruction about how to make wire wrapped marble earrings and found it great.
But 1. I’d find real marbles too heavy in my ears and 2. I didn’t have any ;-)
So I took a pebble and wrapped it with the same technique with common anodised garden wire.
I think that it is suitable as jewelry only to a limited extent, because I think that the wire does not give a comfortable feeling on the skin. But on the other hand I can say that I can really recommend the instruction ;-))

Recently I’ve seen these fantastic beaded flowers at craftster.
Usually I’m not one for beaded flowers but I find these so beautiful.
The thread is no tutorial and it seems that she hasn’t written one yet (I’d say that she don’t want to) but somewhere in the comments they mention a basic tutorial for French flower beading that I found great at first sight.
Perhaps soon;-)

I really love freeform and freeform crochet and therefore I found of course the instruction on how to crochet a freeform necklace with wire and beads instruction on how to crochet a freeform necklace with wire and beadsinteresting.
I haven’t tried it yet because I (still) have no jewelry wire and she wrote that her wire has since gone all rusty – it doesn’t have to come to this.
I will make the necklace one day!

I find this little ring absolutely cute.
Especially the way she made the actual ring from beads and wire was interesting.
Something learned again ;-)

I already presented several tutorials for rings and the wire wrapped ring wire wrapped ring matches great.
I find it beautiful.
If you don’t have a ring mandrel to wrap the wire around you can possibly use the solid paper roll from the woven ring.
I’m still determined not to buy some wire, too.
We will see how long I hold out ;-)

When you have finished your bracelet or your necklace you sometimes ask yourself: Where do I get now a beautiful closure?
I found an instruction for a self-made hook and eye clasp that I didn’t try yet.
But I think that you can’t make things very wrong, can’t you?

‘Brangles’ is a made-up word that is put together of ‘Bangle’ and ‘Bracelet’.
That sounds quite dry but fact is, that I find her jewelry her jewelry fantastic and I think it’s great that she published in internet an instruction instruction on how to make such pieces.

When recently looking at Kokopelli’s blog she presented a necklace in viking knit.
Looks great!
I made some research and found a great photo tutorial.
But I won’t to try it out (for the time being? ;-)) because I don’t want to buy more stuff.
At least I think so…

I found a short but good tutorial on how to make beautiful jewelry from wire and polymer clay.
At the moment I don’t have any jewelry wire at home and I’m not working with polymer clay anymore, but this tutorial made me feel like beginning once more!
