What Youll Need

How to Make Copper Wire Rings

Alright, lets make some rings!

The right length will depend on the size of your finger the length I cut was about six inches.

Remember, youre going to twist this wire around a lot.

So, its going to be a lot longer than you may have expected!

confirm your marker is the same size as your finger!

Otherwise, you might end up with a ring thats the wrong size.

This is the first part of the loop.

This makes them hug each other, and your tails will once again be facing the opposite way.

Now, its time for the bead!

With the twisty part of the loop facing you, slide the bead onto one side.

Move it until it reaches the loops base.

Step Six

Continue wrapping the wire in tight, concentric circles.

Once youre almost out of it, leave the end part sticking out to the side.

This makes it easier to get at the piece with your pliers.

This is the reason this craft uses long-nose pliers.

Theyre perfect for grabbing small objects and twisting them in close.

If space runs out at the bottom of your bead, simply start winding back up again!

This builds up the shape of your ring, making it sturdier and giving it a new look.

Step Nine

Congratulations, you have a completed wire ring!

Wear this beauty every day as a dainty accessory or save it for special occasions.

And the best part is, this gorgeous little craft didnt even take an afternoon!

Its just as easy as the first kind.

All it’s crucial that you change is getting two matching beads instead of just one crowning bead.

Start off by cutting your length of wire.

Now, position the marker above your wire and wrap both ends of the wire around the marker twice.

You should end up with two complete loops and two partial loops and tails pointing the opposite way.

Now, for the exciting part.

Then,slide the whole thing off your marker.

Now, do as you did for the previous ring.

Wrap the piece of wire around your bead, starting at the top and working your way down.

Eventually, youll end up with just a little piece of wire sticking out.

Just tuck that in with your pliers.

Repeat the entire process on the other tail of the wire.

What is the Best Wire for Making Rings?

When were talking about wire, the most important thing to get right is the gauge.

The higher a wires gauge is the thinner its diameter.

wire, beads, sharpie and pliers

So, for example, 22 gauge wire is 6mm around.

21 gauge wire is 7mm.

The thinner your wire is (or the higher its gauge), the softer it will be.

That means its easier to work with!

If youre feeling a little more confident and experienced, go for the 8mm wire.

Its tougher to manipulate but perfect for anyone who has worked with wire before.

Otherwise, stick to 6mm or 7mm.
