Learn how to make DIY wire jewelry with this easy, step-by-step wire wrapped charm ring tutorial perfect for beginners making handmade rings at home.This unique ring design is a game-changer if you have a single, sentimental bead or lone charm left over from another project and don't know what to do with it! Charm rings are absolutely trending right now, and this technique lets you create a beautiful piece that features incredible dangle movement and swinging action from the bottom two beads.
Because it features an adjustable open shank, this ring is super fast and easy to make, and it's incredibly profitable for selling at craft fairs since you don't have to lock in an exact ring size. Plus, the open band design makes it comfortable and forgiving for anyone who experiences daily finger or hand swelling issues.
Once you master the base technique, I challenge you to push your skills further—try adding 3 dangling beads instead of two! In this video, we will also cover essential pro-level wire wrapping techniques, including:
🌀How to easily texturize your metal for a hammered look
🌀How to get fine wire to stay perfectly in place without slipping
🌀How to tuck and hide the ends of your wires like an absolute pro
