Wire Wrapping Jewelry - Two Beads Wire Ring Project

Lots of coiling and sweet little beads in this free wire ring project. Beautiful design!
You’ll need these supplies:

approx 10-inches 20 gauge wire; silver
36-inches of 22 or 24 gauge wire
30 beads; 2mm silver beads

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. Make a small loop at one end of the 20 gauge wire. Holding that loop to the front of the ring mandrel, wrap the wire around the mandrel at the mark of one size larger than you want your ring to be.
3. Wrap the wire three times and make a small loop on the other end, so that the loops are centered on top of each other. Trim the wire.
4. Using the 22 or 24 gauge wire, start coiling one of the loops. When done, coil the wire that is attached to the loop and the wire next to it also add a bead. Repeat 7 times.
5. Coil the single wire all the way around the back coming up to the front, switch and coil the wire and the one below it while adding a bead.
6. Add a total of 14 beads, half under the first set of beads you coiled.
7. Coil the single wire all the way around the back again. Coming up to the front, switch and coil the wire and the one below it while adding a bead for 7 beads.
8. Coil the second loop. Trim the end.
9. Size the ring. Tap on the mandrel using your hammer to harden.
