Wire Wrapping Jewelry - Many Beads Wire Ring Project

You can use this wire ring for a mother’s ring if the mom has two kids or as a couple’s ring with each bead the color of the birthstones.

You’ll need these supplies:

approx 10-inches 20 gauge wire; silver or gold-fill
2 beads; 6mm to 8mm faceted Czech beads work nicely

You’ll need these tools:

wire cutters; flush cutters
Round nose pliers
Bent nose or chain nose pliers
Anvil
Hammer
Ring mandrel
File

Directions for this Tutorial:
1. Be sure that both ends of your wire are cut with flush cutters.
2. Bead a bead on each end of the wire. Bring in the bead from the end and wrap the end over it so it will not slip of the end of the wire.
3. Begin rolling the wire around the beads. Roll one on top and one along the bottom. Roll toward the center.
4. When you are one each from the middle on both sides(2 inches total) wrap the wire around the bead mandrel. Center wrapped beads over each other.
5. Size the ring. Tap on the mandrel using your hammer to harden.
