Glass Bead Wire Rings

easy glass bead wire rings

What you need:

Wire

Glass beads

Jewellery pliers

something circular to shape ring

something to cut wire (wire should be thin enough that scissors work)

step 1:

choose your bead

cut your wire (way longer than you think better to be too long than too short we can use the excess wire later)

place bead in the middle of your wire

part a : ring band

loop wire around until you have the thickness of the ring band you desire

i recommend 2 either side

part b: wrapping around bead

once you have your band ready wrap each end of the wire around half of the bead alternating each time.

repeat until the bead no longer moves or your happy

This part is fiddly but easy and adds to the aesthetic aspect of the ring

With the remaining wire wrap tightly around the band wires.

Repeat on either side as many times as you wish (you may have excess wire so feel free to cut it)

Make sure the ends of the wire are tucked in so they cannot hurt anyone (very important) can be easily done with pliers

This isn't necessary however adds to the ring

Wrap any excess wire around the middle of the band

Make sure not to leave any sharp edges that could hurt anybody

Your ring is complete

These are super fun to make and you can get the hang of them very quickly

(the photo above shows some of the first rings I ever made compare them to the ones shown at the start and the improvement is huge)
