Jewelry can be bought in a store, but it's much more interesting to make it yourself. Weaving from wire, you can create a bracelet, earrings, rings. Such a set will become both an adornment of a lady and an object of her well-deserved pride.
The lightweight bracelet looks great on the hand, making it even more graceful. Before starting work, take the following materials:
- wire of golden color (copper);
- 4 beads in the shape of a flower;
- beads;
- nippers;
- round-nose pliers.
The designer bracelet consists of two types of elements. The first is braided wire. The second one consists not only of it, but also of a flower bead and two beads. On a medium wrist, you will need 4 pieces of these two weaves.
Start with the first one. Cut a piece 5, 5 cm long from the wire. Using round-nose pliers, make a very small loop at one end of the wire, bending it to the right. To do this, wrap the edge of the wire with the thin tip of one of the half cutters. Immediately after this, you need to make a larger loop. It will point to the left and will be created using the thickest part of the nippers.
Now you need to give the same shape to the second side of the wire. Also make a small ring, but direct it to the left side. There will be a larger loop immediately below it, it looks to the right.
As a result, you have a figure that resembles the shape of the number "8" or the sign of infinity. Its two main parts consist of a pair of large loops. Small ones are in the center, at the intersection of large ones, outside and look in different directions. Make 4 of these elements and proceed with the next.
To make them, cut a piece of wire 6 cm long. Pass its end through the top of the figure-eight arc and make a small loop. Pass the second edge of the wire through the bead, bead. After it, string another bead. Pass the other end of the wire through the top of the second circle of the figure eight, make a small loop that should point in the same direction. Thus, you have connected 2 elements. The bracelet is ready.
You can attach a lock to the bracelet, with which the jewelry will unfasten, or put it on through your fingers.
Match earrings to match your wrist jewelry. For them, take a piece of copper wire 12-15 cm long (depending on the size of the earring). Fold it in a drop shape. Position the workpiece so that the widest part is at the bottom. Bend the 2 ends of the wire, making a small loop with one of the round-nose pliers, the same from the second, but do not bend it to the end. Through the remaining hole, put the second on the "neck" of the first loop and now clamp it with small pliers. The result is a one-piece structure in the shape of a drop.
Walk over the surface of the wire with a hammer from either side, then it will become flat.
Cut a piece 35 cm long from a thin wire. String the beads on it, leaving 4 cm free on both sides. Fold the edge around the earring, starting at the left side of the earring. Twist on to the right. On the next turns, part of the wire with beads will be wound. Finish the decoration by twisting the second end of the copper strand.
Use a 5 cm long piece of wire to make a clasp that you will thread into your ear. Attach the edge to the small loop of the earring by threading the end of the wire around it. The second earring is made in the same way. Rings are created in a similar technique.
