Make Wire Jewelry
Basic Tutorials and Step by Step Projects

Do you love working with wire and making fun wire wrapped pieces? Then you've come to the right place. Take a look at the basics and my projects - Enjoy!

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 any drug available. Then wearing a wire wrap jewelry piece knowing that I worked it into that shape, and there is no other like it in the world fills me with pride in my work. I hope you can relate!
