Today, the direction of creativity is quite popular is Hand-Made. And indeed, how can I compare the circulation jewelry with those works of art that are obtained from ordinary materials. In addition, making some suspension, you invest part of your soul into it, and therefore it will also be a talisman who can protect you from all kinds of evil and your loved ones. And today we will talk about ways to manufacture jewelry from ordinary or jewelry wire.

Women’s material?

The view that the wire is not enough elegant material for the manufacture of small and neat female jewelry, erroneously. But if you think, then with the right approach and the availability of a good scheme, even from this, it would seem, the coarse material may be quite elegant things.

Also, do not forget that modern achievements in the field of technology give an excellent opportunity to make wire of any diameter and from any material.

In addition, due to its flexibility, it is possible to make a completely amazing weaving, which can be part of not only jewelry, but also interior elements. 

As for jewelry from jewelry wire, they first appeared in ancient Egypt. At that time, rich ladies used it for making hairstyles. And then this material was manufactured as follows: Thin strips, cut off from the metal sheet, first twisted, and then pierced between two flat surfaces.

Thus, all irregularities on the material were smoothed, and the product was no longer clinging to the hair or cloth. 

Wire types: From what can make decoration

Today, in the manufacture of jewelry, it is not necessary to be completely limited to copper or iron.

Fortunately, it is possible to create an interesting thing with wire from the following materials:

• Brass. This material is very resistant to corrosion, quite elastic and is good, so there should be no problems with making your product shape;
• Aluminum. Characteristics of this metal, in principle, coincide with brass. The difference consists only in color. Aluminum alloy has a bluish gray shade, so the decoration from this metal can be combined with silver;
• Thin steel cable. This material consists of returned thin polys of galvanized metal. It is for this reason that, working with such a cable, you need to be very neat, because if the structure is damaged, sharp edges can cause a rather deep cut. And another disadvantage of such a material is that the elegant product does not work out;
• Wire mesh. Yes, it is precisely this material that is quite commonly used for the manufacture of animal enclosures, can also be the basis for your products. The main thing is to decide with the wire diameter and create! 

And, of course, in order to make the decoration from the wire, you can use copper. In addition, it is worth remembering that the copper material can be covered with multi-colored paint, which means you will not be limited in choosing shades for your future material.

Also, the advantage of such a material is that it does not shine, so you should not worry that you make seelings or suspension too large and you will be sustaining. 

Also copper practically does not oxidize, so you can avoid the appearance of unpleasant greenish or dark bending, which will definitely not give your appearance. 

Please note: wire can be used not only as the main material for the manufacture of various items, but also as a finishing material. With it, you can beautifully arrange semi-precious stones or make small pendants using a tree or beads. Most importantly, connect fantasy! 

Wire decorations: pendant

Let’s start with you with the simplest – making of a coulon from copper wire. To do this, you will need 30 centimeters of copper wire with a diameter of no less than 2 mm, 50-60 centimeters – a diameter of 0.7 mm and 13-14 yellow or golden colors beads.

Also worth prepare such tools like pliers, round rows, ruler, hammer and nippers.

Now proceed directly to the manufacture. And the first step will be the creation of a wide spiral with the help of round. To do this, you need to wrap a thicker wire around your axis.

Attention! Turns should be located close to each other, and at a distance of two or three millimeters. And the gap between the last and the penultimate turning should be at least 5 millimeters, since otherwise you will not be able to consolidate beads. Also at the end, it is worth leaving a small piece of unloaded wire, about 1.5-2 centimeters long. 

Now from that piece, which remained impaired, make a small ear. Note that the eye should not be closed, otherwise the following elements will be fixed quite difficult. And we adhere to the easiest ways to create a beautiful. 

Now armed with a hammer and carefully beat the resulting spiral. But remember that it is necessary to do it very carefully, because from too strong or sliding blows, not only the product itself may be damaged, but also the coating on the wire. After the spiral has become flat, fixing near the loops a thinner wire and crush it the last round.

Then I kpripize the beads and again scroll the mount around the last turn of the spiral. Thus we ride all beads. As a result, we will have something similar to the sun with colored edges. You can hang such a decoration of wire and beads on a short black or brown lace. 

As you can see, after a rather short manufacturing process, we got a beautiful suspension, suitable for everyday wearing and for festive cases. 

Copper or Silver Wire Decorations: Ring

From this material, not only catals can be made, but also rings. But do not think that only children can wear products. No, it all depends on what model you decide to implement.

And now we will consider one of the options for the manufacture of a pretty simple rheel. For its manufacture you will need wire, pliers, nippers and hammer. In addition, take care in advance to determine your size and stocking the small object, the diameter of which coincides with your finger. 

Now for the basis that your finger replaces, you need to wind several turns. The number of turns depends on what width you want a ring. The next stage of weaving wire decorations will be tightening each of its end in the opposite direction. So you get a kind of knot.

Now neatly tighten the edges so that the weaving resembles a flower. When the size of the flower has reached the desired sizes, cut off the excess wire, leaving a small unlucky edge from two sides, a length of 1.5-2 centimeters.

Further Weaving Wire Decoration Scheme is simple: you need to turn off the unlucky edges on the ring itself on two sides of the flower. By the way, by the same principle you can evil and bracelet. But here you need to take into account that it is impossible to attach a lock in this case, so the decoration should be easily removed from the brush. 

As you can see, making jewelry from the wire with your own hands is pretty simple. But, if you just begin to join such art, you should be patient because it will be quite difficult at first. But do not forget that with each afternoon your skill will be hurry, and the results will become better. That is why we advise you miss the stars and start with simple weaving. Good luck!
