Hand making guide on wire rings
2010-07-09 17:32:13
Making wire rings is simple, dazzling and artistic. A pearl or turquoise bead inspires a piece more casual and sporty to wear. Here we will introduce a simple guide on making wire rings with a few supplies.
Step 1 Measure finger size for the wire ring with the measuring tape. Cut selected wire to 1 foot in length. Silver wire is popular now. Place the wire around the mandrel or dowel. Even up the two ends so they are equal. Wrap it around twice. Do not forget to select the bead, such as turquoise or pearl.
Step 2 Pull one strand of the two pieces of wire to the left and the other to the right of the mandrel or dowel. Try to make the wire taut and straight. Push bead through one of loose wires. Center it on the band. It should be nearly flush with the mandrel or dowel.
Step 3 Begin stringing with one side; tightly wrap one of the two wires in a coil motion with the round nose pliers. When starting at the side of the bead and work your way back, keep it tight. During this procedure, you have to make sure that the wire does not overlap but lays side-by-side like a spring. Tuck the exposed wire against the band.
Step 4 Keep on wrapping the second loose wire, over and around the opposite side of the bead like a coil.
When you make the wire rings, keep all exposed wires flush to ring sides or, better still, tuck into the coil. It can cause scratches and cuts if left in the open.
