Wire Wrapped Ring Tutorial

Want to learn how to make a wire wrapped ring out of goodwill finds? Well you in luck! Today I am posting a short tutorial on how to make yourself a beautiful ring for spring!

Materials:

Nipper pliers
Round nose pliers
Needle nose pliers
Craft wire ( the smaller the wire the easier the construction)
Fancy bead
Ring mandrel


Step one: deconstruct your goodwill find with nippers.


Step two: take about two arms length of wire and thread your fancy bead.



Step three: wrap your wire around your mandrel with bead attached. Make sure to wrap the ring a size up from the size you actually wear.


Step four: begin to wrap the wire around your bead. Wrap until you have a few inches left on each side.


Step five: bring your wire through your ring. Wrap through ring three to five times. Remember to pinch down you end so you don't scratch your finger when you finish.




Step six: make sure to slip your ring back on the mandrel to round it back up.


Step seven: pop your ring on and enjoy!!!
