Wire Wrapped Ring
I already presented several tutorials for rings and the wire wrapped ring wire wrapped ring matches great.
I find it beautiful.
If you don’t have a ring mandrel to wrap the wire around you can possibly use the solid paper roll from the woven ring.
I’m still determined not to buy some wire, too.
We will see how long I hold out ;-)

Self-made Hook and Eye Clasp
When you have finished your bracelet or your necklace you sometimes ask yourself: Where do I get now a beautiful closure?
I found an instruction for a self-made hook and eye clasp that I didn’t try yet.
But I think that you can’t make things very wrong, can’t you?

Connie Fox’s Brangles
‘Brangles’ is a made-up word that is put together of ‘Bangle’ and ‘Bracelet’.
That sounds quite dry but fact is, that I find her jewelry her jewelry fantastic and I think it’s great that she published in internet an instruction instruction on how to make such pieces.

Viking Knit
When recently looking at Kokopelli’s blog she presented a necklace in viking knit.
Looks great!
I made some research and found a great photo tutorial.
But I won’t to try it out (for the time being? ;-)) because I don’t want to buy more stuff.
At least I think so…

Make Your Own Stitch Holders
When knitting you must sometimes set aside the stitches and then one uses stitch holders.
But if you’re making your own knitting needles, why not also your stitch holders? ;-)
Anyhow, I really liked the instruction and next time I need some, I will make them myself.

Jewelry from Wire and Polymer Clay
I found a short but good tutorial on how to make beautiful jewelry from wire and polymer clay.

Wire Wrapped Hardware
When seeing this tutorial on how to make jewelry from hardware store stuff I feel the urge to drive to the next hardware store immediately and rummage around.
But I will stay strong and wait until the next occasion.
Or perhaps I just sneak off to my basement…

Are you still looking for a quick but personal gift for a friend?
