Make Wire Jewelry Projects and Tutorials – Basic Tutorials and Step by Step Projects
I have a passion for wire wrapped jewelry. It stems from the fact that it is hand worked – not just handmade and put together. Although, any jewelry making and crafting fulfills my inner muse, actually working with wire and wrapping it around a stone or crystal has got to be better than almost anything. Then, wearing a wire wrap jewelry piece knowing that I worked it into that shape, and there is no other feeling like it in the world fills me with pride. I hope you can relate!
Currently, I have all of my wire projects and tutorials on this page, you just need to scroll down to see them all. I have decided to organize some of this work by separating the wire wrapping into project type indexes – although everything will still be on this page. I want to give everyone what they need to navigate the site. So, if you like wire wrapping jewelry, this is the page to bookmark.
