Jewelry Design - Basic Wire Wrapping


Sample Wire Wrap Earring
Earrings Made from the Michaels Syllabus
 Hello Everyone-
I am still making to post samples from each of my classes on the blog. Today I am adding photos from the " Fundamentals of Wire Wrapping" class at Michaels. This class teaches students how to use the proper tools to make loops, jump rings, and wraps around beads. We make a pair of earrings in class similar to the ones pictured here. This is the foundation for free form wire wrapping and wire wrapping using a wig jig to make all sorts of intricate patterns and findings for jewelry. Once you have completed this class you can move on to Intermediate Wire Wrapping where we learn to make intricate findings that will become a bracelet  in class.
