…compilation of tutorials
I presented already the beaded freeform wire crochet and the wire hairpin lace bracelet, but here at wire crochet you can find a lot of tips that you can use making the other items.
Just check it out :))

The last days I presented some ornaments and they all have to be attached somehow.
I found the beaded wire ornament hooks very nice for this.

I find this ring so beautiful: just a little wire and two buttons.
Great!
It matches well the button necklace or the button collage necklace and to tell the truth I also like the other rings…
Again I don’t know where to begin ;-)

You can do a lot with wire – even hair pin lace!
Looks wonderful, the bracelet, doesn’t it?
Oh yes, my list ;-))
But I have already a self-made hair pin lace loom ;-))

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! ;-)

Wow, an idea again that I really appreciate: take a phone book, roll it up and fix it with a ring of a nature what-so-ever and done is the card holder!
The silver coloured ring looks quite good, but I imagine that it would look as good when you wrap your card holder with wire, plastic, beautiful yarns or fabrics or when you slip a poymer clay ring over, the only thing to make sure is that you fix everything well.
And in place of the Yellow Pages you can use as well coloured ads or paper – neatly stacked – or books where you removed the cover.

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 ;-)
