There is no easier way to make bracelets, rings or necklaces than with jewelry making wire which includes memory wire, tiger tail, brass wire and other beading wires. From shiny precious metal to colorful copper, you are sure to find the right beading wire for each project in huge selection. Here, learn some tips and techniques for making gorgeous wire-wrap jewelry pieces. And let us take memory wire for example this time.

Brass Wire, DarkRed

Memory wire is made from stainless steel and is used as a beading medium much like you would use nylon or other various bead stringing media. It is like a spring in the shape of rings, but larger. Generally speaking, this material is very easy to work with because of its size fit for bracelet, ring and necklace size. Making jewelry with memory wire, you will need the following supplies:
Memory Wire (the length depends on the jewelry you want to make)
Jewelry Beads
Wire Cutter
Round-nose Plier
Chain-nose Plier
Please be careful to make sure that the beads won’t be damaged when you use cutter and pliers. Now, let’s start to make a pair of wire-wrapping earrings.

1, Cut off the memory wire according to the length you need by using wire cutter.
2, Pink a bead and put it through the wire. Drop-shaped jewelry beads will be a good choice for wire-wrapping earrings. Please note that the lengths of wires at two sides of beads are not the same. One is short and the other one is long.
3, Cross the two wires at the top of bead, and twine the short wire on the long one. Just a couple of time will be ok. If the short wire is a little long, cut the rest with wire cutter, and finish the end with chain-nose plier.
4, Put the long wire around the round-nose plier to make a loop, and twine it under plier on the twined wire. Keep on twining till the wire cover the top of the bead. Cut off the rest wire with wire cutter and finish the end with chain-nose plier. Be careful, not damage the bead.
5, Attach the wire-wrapping beads and earring hook on a jump ring, and close the jump ring carefully. A wire-wrapping earring is finished. You just need to make the other one follow the same steps.
